Behaviors not goals!

I love goal setting!  I truly believe you need to set goals for your self!  And work towards them.  You cannot just get what you want by saying it.  You need to work hard!  And there are always people out there who are willing to work harder!  I love this speaker's approach.  You need to focus on your behaviors to achieve your goals!  This is real insight!

An AMAZING Opportunity!

Last week the C.I.A came to Booker T. during Activity Period.  They DO NOT come to schools, but they come to our school because Booker T is known!  They take the tie to come, and tell you about an amazing opportunity!

The C.I.A. has an under grad scholarship.  The requirements are:

You have to be 18 by April

Have a 3.5 GPA

Those are the ones they discussed.  If you get this scholarship you are an employee of the C.I.A.  They pay you $30, 000 a year for going to school.  You get a paycheck every two weeks plus benefits.  Then they pay for college!  Do you get that?!  That is amazing!  There are so many opportunities out there - you just ave to find them!

So if you are a freshman - you know what is expected!  Work hard!  Check out the scholarship online.  Look around!

Study Tip

This is most of what I've graded this weekend!  I have more!  I am trying really hard to stay on top of your grades!  Your grade is important to me!   While I was grading I became very present to something - I was reminded of something.

I have a study tip.  Mainly for APUSH, but anyone can do this!  Be prepared!  When you get work - make it into flash cards or whatever you need!  For all my classes I do NOT have you do busy work.  All your homework will help you.  So don't wait till the test to study it!  Study it now!

When I was in my first year of college - we had no homework.  We didn't do anything till October.  This was strange to me, and I noticed.  But then it happened.  About Mid October every teacher said we would have a midterm over the first 20 chapters plus their lecture.  WHAT!!!!  I only had two nights to study.  I was freaking out!  

I never wanted to experience that again!  So after I survived those tests -  I would make flashcards of my notes every time after class.   I learned in high school I am a flashcard girl!   Every  time I used them I would pass the test!

High school is a great time to learn how you learn!
