Washington Sear 60 years later

This talks about a man who had stole 20-30 dollars from sears and ended up giving 100 dollars back because he was feeling guilty and couldn't stop thinking about it. But when the "man" came back he was an elderly, so it got the people thinking he was guilty for what he did. He confessed in the note he had stole money, and now wants to return it. They caught the elderly on video tape, but they did not know he was.


Reflection; Thinking about this i think the elderly man who came back and returned the money was living a nightmare, ever since. Probably everything he did, he was feeling guilty he was trying to be happy and ignore it but his conscience is always their bringing back what he tries to deny.

The following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high school and beyond, whether you plan to attend a four-year or two-year college.

English (Language Arts)

Take English every year. Traditional courses, such as American and English literature, help you improve your writing skills, reading comprehension and vocabulary.

Math

You need algebra and geometry to succeed on college entrance exams and in college math classes- and in many careers. Take them early on. That way, you’ll be able to enroll in advanced science and math in high school, and show colleges you’re ready for higher- level work. Most colleges look for students who have taken three years of math in high school. The more competitive ones require or recommended four years. Each school has it’s own program, but some of the courses typically offered are:

·        Algebra 1

·        Algebra 2

·        Geometry

·        Trigonometry

·        Calculus

Tis the Set of the Sail

Tis the Set of the Sail

Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1916

But to every mind there openeth,

A way, and away, and away.

A high soul climbs the highway,

And the low soul gropes the low,

And in between on the misty flats,

The rest drift to and fro.

But to every man there openeth,

A high way and a low,

And every mind decideth,

The way his soul shall go.

One ship sails East,

And another West,

By the self-same winds that blow,

Tis the set of the sails

And not the gales,

That tells the way we go.

Like the winds of the sea

Are the waves of time,

As we journey along through life,

Tis the set of the soul,

That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.

The academic rigor of your high school is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see your high school course schedule as a blueprint of your education. They’re looking for a solid foundation on learning that you can build on in college.

To create that foundation, take at least five solid academic classes every semester. Start with the basics and then move on to advanced courses. Challenging yourself is part of what makes school fun; but you need to firm grasp of the fundamentals before going on to more advanced work. ‘

Student Success Statement #50

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder’’

-Thomas Carlyle

This statement is trying to say that when someone doesn’t have a goal to accomplish in life, is like a ship because you need the rudder to control your life and decisions. Meaning that when a man doesn’t have a goal the ship is just blown by the wind, and doesn’t know where it’s going.

Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

·        Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

·        Prepare for the session, as you can make the most of your time together.

·        Take turns teaching to reinforce your own knowledge.

·        Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.
