If you have concerns regarding your class schedule or progress in school, set up a meeting with your school counselor, teacher or adviser. There are many resources to help with this process, and with achieving your personal, college and career goals. Without goals, you meander all sorts of directions. Goals give you purpose, direction, enthusiasm, and passion for what you really desire. Define your goals deliberately, evaluate your goals often and make changes as necessary, work hard to achieve goals, and continue working hard until you actually do reach your goals.

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 other students hash out lesson materials together --- explaining concept, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s --- and in the process, you most likely more than you would have studying by yourself.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity---that you earned it with perfect honesty.
