The Art of Being Productive in High School to be a More Attractive College Applicant (Part 2)

The Art of Being Productive in High School to be a More Attractive College Applicant (Part 2) ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog In our last blog post on this topic, we explored why today’s high school students must be so productive in high school. Getting good grades isn’t quite enough anymore. You need to show a variety of interests and ideally achieve leadership positions outside the classroom to maximize your chances of admission to a top college. We offered a six-step process to being more productive in high school: Identify the activities and subjects you value and are genuinely interested in Identify key areas of alignment between what you value and what colleges would also value to create “leverage” Set goals and build a plan to meet them Get organized Prioritize and re-prioritize Get help when you need it In this blog post, we explore each step in more detail. Identify the activities and subjects you value and are genuinely interested in. The first step in becoming more productive is to think about what you value and enjoy. If you are trying to get the most out of each year of high school, a major consideration should be your personal preferences. You want to do things you enjoy with people you like hanging out with. If you enjoy writing or taking pictures, the yearbook or school newspaper is a good option. Obviously, there are lots of different sports to consider. It’s also important to think about which subjects you’ll target for more advanced study (i.e., AP classes, etc.). If you’ve always been pretty good at math, then make an actual or mental note that AP calculus is in your future. If you don’t like reading or writing, consider for now that perhaps AP English isn’t for you. At this stage, it’s just important to realize that, for better or worse, it’s important to be involved in a range of activities during high school, and you want to build a list of what interests you and put yourself in a position to take a leadership role in some of them eventually. At the same time, you want to take a reasonably challenging academic course load that you can both handle and do extremely well in. Identify key areas of alignment between what you value and what colleges would also value to create “leverage.” Next, and this is perhaps new to some students, you want to think about how those activities fit into a normal high school or college curriculum. This should start with an understanding of the primary importance of GPA, but with the sometimes-contradictory secondary importance of taking advanced, difficult, challenging classes. In other words, you’d be well served to get a perfect, 4.0 GPA. If you take all average classes though, and never take an honors or AP class, that 4.0 GPA is worth a lot less. On the other hand, when I was in high school, I loaded myself up with tons of AP and honors classes, and then didn’t put in the work â€" and perhaps really didn’t have the time - to get enough A’s. I was left with an “OK” GPA matched with a long list of challenging classes. That’s not ideal either. You want to look at your course of study and put your potential classes into categories: Required, core classes that you must do well in Optional classes that you choose, and again expect to do quite well in More advanced classes that you know will be a challenge, but which help your academic resume look challenging and impressive You’ll want a mix of courses across those categories. Next, consider the extracurricular activities in which you are interested, and note what opportunities might exist to build your resume while also covering required academic requirements. This creates “leverage,” allowing you to accomplish multiple objectives with one endeavor. For example, participating in the student newspaper and/or the yearbook development process often includes taking classes which count towards your English requirement. So, you are taking a class, but also getting involved in an activity. Similarly, if you are planning on taking AP level math or AP level French, there is probably some overlap with a math club or French club in which you could get involved, where part of the time you spend on the activity occurs during class. If you play a varsity sport, perhaps gym class is waived, making time for you to study during school. Students are often surprised at the opportunities they have to “kill two birds with one stone.” Obviously, it’s more than OK to get involved in something just because it seems interesting or a friend suggests it, but you should also be thinking about your options and interests in a structured way to identify these points of leverage. Set goals and build a plan to meet them The last step is about generating your list of options. In this step, you work out an actual plan. Now, if you are reading this early in your high school career (or, more likely, are a parent reading this earlier in their child’s high school career), you are in a better position. But it’s relevant for any student. Here, you realize that you only have X many classes you can take and Y many hours after school, and you decide what you are going to do, keeping in mind the “leverage” opportunities above. But before you can do that, you should consider your academic goals. If you want to go to Harvard, you’ll really need to do it all. High GPA, high ACT or SAT score, tons of activities, leadership, and community service. But, if you want to go to an excellent state school, a high GPA and test score will probably do the trick. If you are targeting a high selective liberal arts school, GPA and test score might be a bit less important relatively speaking and demonstrating unique and deep interests in a few activities is likely more important. The key is to identify where you want to end up, acknowledge the requirements, and then start planning. Your goal is to design an academic course of study that is challenging but reasonable, and supplement that with extracurricular activities that put you in a position to demonstrate a breadth of interests, skills, and leadership ability. Get organized One you have your rough plan, inclusive of courses you are going to take and activities in which you are going to engage, the key to success is staying organized. What does it mean to be organized? I like to think of organization as being driven by two fundamental concepts: a) filing systems and b) to-do lists. Filing systems are the physical or digital folders on your computer where information from each class or activity is kept. Your locker and your back-pack are also filing systems. To-do lists help you manage your time. I generally keep three different types of to-do lists, which help me best use the time I have in any given day: long term, medium term, and daily. In other words, I have a list of things I need to accomplish in the next 3 or more months, things that must get done in 1-4 weeks, and then things I want to accomplish today. An academic planner is a popular form of to-do list that I recommend. Prioritize and re-prioritize One of the hidden keys to truly high levels of productivity for a high school student is prioritization. You should pause at the beginning of each week as well as the beginning of each day to review and update your to-do lists and think about how you truly need to spend your time. You’ll be surprised how important it is to take a deep breath, step back, and decide what to do after comparing all of the things on your mental plate and on your to-do list. You might have that big project on your mind, but should you really spend another 3 hours working on it? Or, should you start studying for that quiz tomorrow? You may want to go hang out with your friends, and you should find time to do that. But if you have a big test tomorrow, what is more important? Get help when you need it I think students tend to vastly underutilize after school time with teachers, getting help from each other, their parents, and even private tutors. If you studied for a quiz but did not do well and are feeling your grasp of a concept slipping away, don’t just assume it’ll all make sense at some point before the mid-term exam. Go get help from the teacher. Spending the time to get that help earlier rather than later is a critical way to save time and increase your overall productivity. If you wait, you’ll end up spending even longer going over old concepts that you didn’t really understand at the time, and which you now have completely forgotten as you try to get up to speed before a big test. Don’t get too lost. Get help and support early. Summary Motivated high school students need to be highly productive in today’s competitive college admission environment. Productivity comes from working hard, yes. But it also comes from planning your academic course load and extracurricular activities carefully.

Foolproof Time Management System

Foolproof Time Management System A students life is very full. Much of the day is spent at school, but theres a lot to fit in after the bell rings toolike studying, homework, extracurricular activities, dinner and sleep. A time management system is essential so that children can make the most of every hour and fit in everything they want and need to do. What exactly should that system entail? Here are six important components: Commitment It probably goes without saying, but its vital that your child commits to owning responsibilities and planning his or her time responsibly. Without that sincere commitment, any effort by your child to take control of his or her day and many tasks will simply fall flat. A planner A planner is a must for any student. Your child should use it to write down all daily assignments, dates for tests, quizzes and projects due, as well as any other commitments such as scheduled work or volunteer hours, sports practices, club meetings, performances or games. A structured schedule Have your child block out all scheduled time on the calendar in his or her day planner, including school hours, sports practices or other activities, sleeping, eating dinner and winding down. An hourly schedule in the planner helps your child visualize his or her time and get a clear picture of what time is and isnt free or flexible. Its a good idea to hang a family calendar in a central spot in your home as well. A running list of goals Goal setting is so important and goes hand in hand with time management. Encourage your child to keep a list of short-term and long-term goals and refer to it (and revise it) often. Short-term goals might focus on your childs current classes while long-term goals can be bigger and contain multiple smaller goals. For example, the college-bound teen might want to get into his or her dream college, but there will be many small sub-goals to achieve to get there. Prioritization skills Good time management is about much more than keeping an organized calendar and list of goals. As early as possible, teach your child to spend a few minutes at the beginning of homework time looking over his or her planner and labeling all tasks to be completed today, tomorrow, this week or later. That prioritization process helps your child get focused and mentally prepared to get to work. To-do lists Last but not least, its critical that your child break things down to the specific tasks that he or she must complete each day. The planner serves as a master to-do list, keeping track of everything your child has coming up on the homework/test/quiz front. But after prioritizing at the start of a homework session, your child should develop a game plan: a to-do list for the evening that guides the homework session. Your child should write or print out that list and check things off as completed. Teach your child to own his or her time and not be owned by it. A trusted time management system will minimize stress and wasted time, boost productivity, and set your child up for school and life success.

The Mind cannot Foresee its own Advance

The Mind cannot Foresee its own Advance The mind cannot foresee its own advance. Friedrich Hayek Friedrich August von Hayek is an influential Austrian and British economist and philosopher. In his works he maintains classical liberalism and free-market capitalism against socialism and collectivism. He is one of the most important economists and political philosophers of the twentieth century. Hayek was also involved in jurisprudence, neuroscience and the history of ideas. Hayek is one of the most influential members of the Austrian school of economics. In 1974, he and Gunnar Myrdal, received the Nobel Prize in Economics for pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and in-depth analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena.

Starbucks Tips, Tricks, and Advice from a Real Barista

Starbucks Tips, Tricks, and Advice from a Real Barista via Pexels 1.) You don’t have to be intimidated by our sizes! In every Starbucks barista’s online training they are taught to accept words small, medium, large, and extra-large as well as tall, grande, venti, and trenta! If the sizes confuse you there is no need to worry, just say one you normally would and the barista can normally figure it out from there. Fun Fact: Our “strange” sizes originate from coffee shops in Italy! 2.) Latte v. Flavored Coffee Many believe in order to purchase a flavored coffee you MUST get a latte, this is 100% false! The reason so many people believe Starbucks is outrageously expensive compared to Dunkin Donuts is that when you order a Vanilla coffee there, it is just flavoring and coffee, but at Starbucks when you say Vanilla Latte: it is not the same thing. A latte is espresso shots with steamed milk and flavoring if you so choose. So next time you want some flavored coffee for significantly cheaper, go to your local Starbucks and order a Pikes Place Roast with white mocha sauce and a little cream! via Pexels 3.) Espresso shots in frappuccinos FRAPS. DO. NOT. AUTOMATICALLY. COME. WITH. ESPRESSO! Sorry about the outburst there, just needed to make that fact aware. The kind of coffee in a frappuccino is a kind of coffee concentrate so it does not MELT the frozen drink. Now if you want that extra kick of an espresso shot, you need to be aware of a few things. One, the drink will be more watery because the espresso is scalding hot and the frap is a frozen beverage. Two, the espresso and the frap will separate if left sitting for a long time. And three, it might end up double-cupped because putting whipped cream on a melted frap is super messy. If you’d like to avoid these problems might I suggest getting your shots affogato (this means poured over the top of your normally made frap), you still get your normal drink and the extra caffeine kick for less of a hassle on both ends! 4.) Mobile Ordering Mobile ordering is perfect when sitting in traffic and wanted your coffee to be done when you get to Starbucks, but a common misconception is that when one mobile orders the order is the first priority: this is not what happens. It basically just prints the sticker with your drinks at the time you order it as if you were in line. So if you mobile order and it is not finished quite yet, it just means there were customers ahead of you in the mobile or real-life line. Another tip: ALWAYS check the store you are mobilizing to, it happens a lot where people mobile to the wrong store and baristas have to stop the drinks in the queue to fix a mistake that was not even really their’s. 5.) Black Apron Myth Just because a barista is wearing a black apron does not automatically mean they are better than everyone else at their jobs, contrary to what articles other places may say. The black apron was a limited program where baristas could earn an apron if they tried a list of different coffee combinations given to them in their interview. All the apron means is that they tried a lot of different coffees and they could have been there longer than others: they care more about the art of coffee, but the program is over now and not offered any longer. If you are skeptical about whether your coffee is being made correctly, just ask for the ingredients and if something is off, tell your barista! We would be more than happy to remake your drink to your standards.

Education options for children overseas

Education options for children overseas Teaching abroad when you have school-aged children means that you will have to rethink their education plan too. Deciding how your children will continue their education while living abroad can be puzzling. Many countries will offer teachers options, including public, international, or home school. Unfortunately, some countries won’t allow foreign students to attend local public schools and in others, you may find that the public school system is full. Teachers who have tuition fees included in their contract can choose international schools for their children, where the curriculum and assessment will be identical to their home educational system. When you are considering which route to take, ask yourself the following questions to help make your decision: What language is spoken at home? Can your children speak any of the local language? Is it important to you or your child that he or she be able to read and write in the local language? How adaptable is your child? How involved do you want to be in their learning process? What is your child’s learning style? Will it mesh well with the public education system that primarily focuses on logical and linguistic learning styles? Will you be moving again shortly? Will you be staying put for a while? What does your child hope to do when they graduate high school? Is an international school affordable to your family? Now that you’ve asked yourself these critical questions, read below to consider your options. Homeschool Homeschooling is an especially appealing option to Americans, who are no strangers to homeschooling. In fact, Americans have been homeschooling children for centuries. But not every country will allow you to homeschool your children, in fact many forbid it. Others have different rules for expats living within the country. Read briefly about homeschooling regulations on Wikipedia or check with an embassy to see what’s allowed. Public schools If you are planning to stay put for a while, the public school system is an option to consider (if you are able to enrol your children in the public program -- some countries won’t allow this, so it’s something to investigate). The public school system will expose your child to local students, local issues, and local language. For teachers whose contracts don’t include any educational allowance, international schools may prove to be cost-prohibitive. And for those located outside of urban centers, the commute for students to an international school may be difficult. If you have younger children (e.g., elementary-aged), the public school system may be an option. Private international schools Choosing a private international school may be a good decision if you intend to move back to your home country or state before your child reaches college age. Then, their curriculum hasn’t changed drastically and they will still be on track with their fellow students. This will make it easier for your child to reenter the school system back home if their grade system matches that of your home country. Another factor you should consider when making your decision is the age of your children. If you have older children, it will likely be more difficult for them to adapt to an entirely new life and new school. If you do decide to go the route of private international schooling, be sure to register your children as soon as possible, as many have waiting lists.
