Part 5


The arts


Research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standard tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.


Many colleges require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students look within their own repertoire of talents and identify their artistic abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.


Advanced placement program To be sure you are ready to take on college level work, enroll in the most challenging courses you can in high school, such as honor or AP courses. Research consistently shows that students who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP exam typically experience greater academic success and college graduation rates than students who don’t take AP.


Work hard in your righteous pursuits, and you will reap the benefits of self-fulfilling and job satisfaction. Don’t take short cuts just to “get by” instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.

Reflection: I think that it means that only you know who is a coward people that don't help out a friend is one. You got to find friends that are not cowards ones that will always help you and say no when you really need that no. Like example if you were about to go to a big party and your friend says no well they are not a coward they are really helping you get out of trouble so you will listen to them and maybe you guys could just go to the movies together or just go eat and hand out and stay out of trouble. So don't be a coward and remember To Always Choose The Right.

Social Studies
You can better understand local & world events that are happening now by studying the culture & history that has shaped them. Here is a suggested course plan:
v  U.S. history ( 2 semesters)
v  U.S. government (one semester)
v  World history or geography ( one semester)
v  On additional semester in the above or the other areas

Foreign Languages
Solid foreign language study shows colleges you’re willing to stretch beyond the basics. Many colleges require at least 2 years of study in the same foreign language, & some prefer more.
Learning a foreign language can be a challenge but is exciting. Repetition is the key to learning a language, & having conversations with others speaking the same language is the best way to learn this new language. Repetition in a fun way will build your skills thoroughly as you seek to master new languages.

                           Part 4            

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, so 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 group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepening 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, (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.

Do the Reading
You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned- you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:
·      Don’t skim. Read all 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 and rephrase the key points.
·       Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
