Selecting your courses
recommended classes for college success

The academic rigor of your high school courses is an important factor in the college admission process. College admission officers see your high school course schedule as a blueprint of your education. They’re looking solid foundation of learning that you can build in college.
to create that foundation, take at least five solid academic classes every semester. Start with the basics and then move on to advanced courses. Challenging yourself is part of what makes school fun; but you need a firm grasp of the fundamentals before going on to more Advanced work.

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder”

-Thomas Carlyle

I agree with this statement because if a ship has no rudder it has no direction/destination to reach so it will just move along with the air, and may cause disasters such as a person whom chooses the wrong will fail, and will be unsuccessful through life. If there is no direction for us to reach, we have nothing to fight/work for. Without a goal our lives will go into complete chaos, making our life irremediable, which will only cause suffering to us and the people among us.

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 you 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 with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen you 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.

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Includes someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn't understand it as well, to whom you can explain the material.

Where? Hold study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that had room to spread out boos and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task.

When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study sessions as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

The benefit of study groups:

group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding 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 bring =s different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

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

Goals

“In life as in football, you won’t go far unless you know where the goal posts are.”

-Arnold Glasgow

I agree with this statement because if you don’t have no direction in life, or no goals, then you have no scent of where to go, or what to be. If you have no point of direction in life you have no future, you need to have a direction to know where you are headed. If you don’t know where you are headed then you will make your life a complete disaster.

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you being to understand its 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:

Ø  Think out loud

Ø  Share ideas

Ø  Learn from another

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson  materials together – explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s – and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.
