Student Success Statement
Student Success Statement
"Tell me what is right and I will fight for it."
Woodrow Wilson
What this quote means is that you have to fight for what you stand for. You have to fight for what YOU think is right. You should still fight even though you are out numbered and everyone is against you! You have to follow your passion and follow your beliefs.

Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?
Part
4 of 4
Emphasis on the Written Word
Most of the communication, as well as the course work,
in distance learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because the focus on
the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer – and strong
writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a
serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option
until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written
word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing
also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor
in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great,
sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have
online access with reliable equipment. If your Internet communications at home
isn’t working, you can’t do online
education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access
to the Internet.
Decide Whether It’s Right for You
Distance education isn’t for everyone , but it just
might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never
know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While
distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not
the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and
interests and give distance education a try; then, decide if it is right for
you.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 1
Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 1
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 on a part-time job. It’s important to
get as much information as possible, do you can figure out what choice makes
the most sense for 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’re seeking.
