Like many high school students, you may want-or need-to work part time. Working takes a lot of time and energy, though, so before getting a job, make sure that you think about your ability to handle both work and your education.

Important Considerations

You have to weigh a number of factors when deciding whether to take on a part-time job. It’s important to get as much information as possible, so you can figure out what choice makes the more sense for you.

Schedule a meeting with your school counselor to discuss the idea of working. Talk to your counselor and why you want to work and what type of position you’re seeking.

     

High School Graduation- Pleasure or Pain

When you graduate you get to feel the pleasure and joy. You get that good feeling inside you knowing that you achieved something and that high school is finally over. You family will also be very proud of you because of what you just accomplished. If you don’t graduate you will feel pain. You will feel disappointed in yourself knowing that you didn't accomplish anything. You will see all your friends crossing stage and graduating and you will not be part of that. You family will also be disappointed in you because they were counting on you to graduate and you let them down.
