Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 5

Additional Tips:

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·        Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·        Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·        Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·        Use you time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

·        If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·        Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·        If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·        Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs relaxation to stay happy and healthy.

Student Success Statement

"It is our duty to conecentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good)."

Joseph Smith

What I interpret from Mr. Smith's statement is that our duty is to influence others to believe in what is good as popular and what is bad as unpopular. We are all established freedom by society and by law and it is our duty to obey the law, but many don't because what is so popular now a days is rebel. Our society's foundation is dependent on citizens doing what is right and not doing the opposite. If we influence the public into doing what is right by moral standards of course than many will follow the ideal while very few might not. One example is the growing popularity in academic neglectance, many youths only neglect education because they believe that is it's popular than they should follow that ideal and not apply themselves in their education. Students who apply themselves and persevere are adequate and therefore not influenced by their enviroment and their peers alike.
