Selecting Your Courses

Part 2

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 college’s you’re ready for higher-level work.

Most colleges look for students who have taken three years of math in high school. The competitive ones require or recommend four years. Each school has its own program, but some of the courses typically offered are:

·       Algebra I

·       Algebra II

·       Geometry

·       Trigonometry

·       Calculus

" A man without a goal is like a ship with out rubber."  -Thomas Carlyle 

Reflection: This quote is trying to say it's impossible for a man not to have a goal b/c what is he going to do in life. And a ship doesn't work without rubber because without the rubber the ship wont float.

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 are going to do in advanced.

·       Prepare for the session, so you can make the most out 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 litter better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends are not friends, 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. 

I would really to be in a basketball team.
Do:

• Explore a number of careers and majors
• Get Involed
• Get advice from people in target occupation
• Follow your passion
• dare to tery something new.  

The Power of Study Groups

Part 2

The Benefits of Study Groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: Reinforce note-taking. If your AP® Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or captivity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which result in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying.

Choose the Right

Goals

"In life as in football, you wont go far, unless you know where the goalpost are." 
Reflection: You should follow your dream/goal and do what you want in life. Once you complete your goals its like you crossed the finish line for the 100-mile marathon. 

The Power of Study Groups

Part 1

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you've learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

·       Think out loud.

·       Share ideas.

·       Learn from one another.

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together—explain concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s—and studying by yourself.

Choose the Right!!

"Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices."     -Albert A. Montapert 

Reflection: This means we can not escape any choices, because if its a good choice we will get good results no matter what, if its a bad choice we will get bad results no matter what.  

·      Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·      Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·      Look up any words that you don’t understand.

·      Pause to think about whether you understand. The material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·      Take notes instead of highlighting –this makes you think through a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.

·      Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
