Sometimes I come across a few friends who say that they don't like school, so they just go careless with doing their homework and decide to not study at all. But guess what? If you don't study and don't do your homework then you are most likely to fail your class, and therefore you will stay longer in school.
Try your best, earning a high GPA/grade can do you many goods such as:
- Get you a good student car insurance discount
- Free/discount on your college tuition
- Go to college earlier
- More likely to be accepted in the university of your choice
- You never know, your teacher might know someone that can hire you for a nice paying job on your field.
Be aware there are many programs out there offered at high school and you don't even know, the best advice is to go to your high school counselor and let him/her know your education goals and what you expect from high school so that you can get help.
Here is a list of some programs you could ask your counselor about it:
- Dual Enrollment/Early Admission - This program offers you the opportunity to take college classes and earn it's credits while you still a high school student. http://www.palmbeachstate.edu/x5304.xml
- Honors/AP Classes - These are high level classes offered to better prepare you to eventually go to college, they are usually harder and require extra work/effort. Honors GPA scale go up to 5 and AP GPA scale go up to 6, while regular classes may go up to 4.
- Sports/Clubs - Participating in extra curricular activities after school such as sports and school clubs may earn you a positive look on your transcript when looking for scholarships and transferring to a higher level education.
The purpose of this blog is to provide you free tips and let you know things that sometimes counselors assume you know but u don't. If you are interested in any of the programs or anything discussed above, make sure you get help from your high school counselor.
