Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 3

Brad MacGowan, of the Career Center at Newton North High School in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be valuable part of a student’s life, if taken on responsibly. “You can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just money, “he says.   “In most cases, you can acquire a nice dose of discipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences.” In addition, your supervisor may be willing to write a strong college recommendation for you.

School Comes First

Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. MacGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing through your assignments… or not studying enough for tests because of work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 2

Voicing your goals to someone else can help you make decisions and figure out your priorities. It can also help you judge whether you can do both—work and study—successfully. To help answer this question, ask yourself:

·         Am I an organized person?

·         What kind of study habits do I have?

·         Do I make good use of my available time?

·         Will I be able to manage my schedule effectively if I take on a part-time job?

Think about the pros and cons of working. On the plus side, job can teach you about commitment, time management and responsibility—and, of course, handling money. On the minus side, job can cut into the time you have for sleeping, studying and socializing.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT

Student Success Statement

"Child is locked up by grandparents, in bathroom, for 6 years"

Reflection:This reflection is trying to say no matter how bad a child acts, they do not deserve to be locked up in a restroom or anywhere for 6 years. This type of punishment is not tolerated in any way. Children deserve freedom as well as if they do something bad they should get punished. But this type of punishment went too far. This could have put the girl in great danger. And nobody was there to help her out.

Like many high school students, you may want—or need—to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important Considerations

You have to weigh a number of factors when deciding whether to take a part-time job. It’s more important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the most sense to you. Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor about why you want to work and what type of position you are seeking.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT

                   "If is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."

Marcus Aurelius

Roman Emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD

Reflection:This quote is trying to say that when something is wrong to not do it, like Ex: Drinking or smoking. And when something is not true do not say it, like Ex: Telling someone that another person is talking behind her/her back.
