" You will never regret doing the right thing"
-Anonymous
 
You will never regret doing the right thing, but when it comes to choosing the wrong, you will most likely always regret doing so, but you cannot change your past actions, you can only change your currect self and affect your future by choosing the right, and hopefully that will make up for any wrong you had done in the past.

"A nation's treasure is in the people who do what's right"
-Adapted Chinese Proverb
 
 
The most valuable possesion a nation can have is it's reputation. The reputation can either destroy or build a nation aswell as people, therefore reputation is a great treasure, perhaphs the greatest out there. The image of a nation depends on those whom it consists of, and the image a nation portrays will give it it's reputation, if the nation is full of people whom choose what is right then those people will be the nation's treasure because they will build the nation and cause it to strive.

·         Have a special area for studying where you won’t be distracted.

·         Study in small “chunks” and take regular breaks. Try not to cram.

·         Have a regular study routine to make studying a habit.

·         Study with a friend or group and share information.

“What I Will Do to Graduate from High School”

What I will do to graduate from high school is the same I have been doing for the past semester with a little bit of difference, I will take on several extra classes to make up for classes I have failed in the past. Doing so will be no problem because I have already set the goal to make up the one or two classes I am missing, once I set a goal it is pretty much done, that’s where my ambition comes into play. I am not really worried to finish my High school era in 2014 because I know I will do so and I will graduate with the first class of H.P.I.A.M.

What I am more worried about is what will come after High School, College, and this is why I need to excel in High School. College is also part of the reason why I am doing extra-curricular activities, a few extra-curricular activities I am doing are, Bible Club, Humanitarians Club, Fit Club, and Leadership. I am currently doing these but will not limit myself to only those, I am planning on participating in Lacrosse and Football as well. By doing so I am helping ensure myself a place in a college, Hence colleges appreciate such things in an application.

For the meantime the only struggles I might have is making up those classes which I am missing, the two I believe I am missing are English 9A and Algebra 1. I don’t believe this should be too difficult hence I am passing all my current classes with an A letter grade, although I believe the classes will be much easier than the current ones I am taking I will still prepare myself for them as I see that is the correct thing to do. This is what I will do to graduate from High School.

Part 1


ü  Get Organized

ü  Use Good Study Habits

ü  Learn How to Take Tests

ü  Believe In Yourself

Some experts say the difference between good students and poor students isn’t mainly ability. Instead, it’s how students organize themselves to use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results!

Get Organized:

·         Have a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of your assignments, and always carry it.

·         Ask the teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

·         Use scribblers to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

·         Have phone numbers for classmates, especially of one who will be your “homework buddy”. This is someone in your class who collects hand-outs and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can borrow your buddy’s notes when you return to school, and you can do the same for this friend.

·         Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

·         Pay attention in class as it is very easy to let your mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being said; it will be easier to absorb the information being presented.

·         Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat.

·         Be prepared for each class, bring the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper).
