How does staying a year really affect you chance getting into college
I recently had a wake-up call and decide to fix my life. I use to I want good grade but did not really care. I did not turn in might homework, study, participate in class or ask the teacher for help. I was mostly was playing games, waste my time. Now do not get me to wrong. Games are ok to play only if you have you have an A. Anything lower there is still room to improve to help your GPA. Also, you have to be finished with your work. I think where I start not to do my homework was in middle school. I moved to a private school which had a middle school and Elementary when I was in third grade. The reason why was some of the teachers were not that helpful were from my old Elementary. I do not know if that was the right move. I now realize there are going to be bad teachers and just because they do not care about you, you still should out there but who know if I would have realized thathad not moved At the new school I moved at. Elementary school the teachers were great they really want to help exceptionally my third-grade teacher. In middle school, we had four teacher for the four main classes. We also had teachers for other classes but they were not really academic class like P.E. art, and etc. so we rarely have homework. During middle school, I had three teachers they taught me all three years. One of them was one of the best teachers I had so far, my third-grade teacher is also one. The other two are no doubt in my mind the worst teacher I had so far. ( I will call them, teacher and other teacher cause I do not want to get sued because I told their names) I'm making new phrase because I could not think of a phrase that best described what I am thinking about. Helping job- a job where the occupier job is to improve the wellbeing/success of another person if it affects their lives. This can apply to both freelancers(I put business/company owner under this) and workers(people who work under someone). A working helping jobs occupier is impacting a few people (like 1-500) These include police, firefight, first responder/ambulance, and teacher. Not all people in this job do it for just because they want to which not should be the case. Some of these jobs do not require high education but could lead to injury or death. Some people just get these jobs because they are lazy and do so to get more than a minimum wage job. (What I have seen, is that most freelancer helping job occupier is that more people they help scale with the money they have money one of these people who have a lot of money is Bill Gates. Before my wake up call I had no role model but now I want to be like Bill Gates. Yes is because he is rich but not in the way to this why I want the money. All I really need is just the basic necessities of life. I do not need fast cars, a big house, and really expensive clothes. I can you the money I earn to help out the world. I also have found a way to incorporate into my Senior Project and I hope it gets approved by my principal )Teacher (also include religious leader that religion teaches good morals) must no have of you help me I help you. They both had favorite in classes that I believe they pick because it would benefit them. One of them I am puzzled about how she chooses her favorites. I know her favorites the usually big trouble maker, what I mean by this is they cause a disruption in class. The other teacher favorites were all the people whose family would help her. Both their favorites were probably usually rich. You might say you have to be rich to go to a private school. Not everyone that goes to private school My parents could have brought a really nice car for every like two and a half years. They use to have flip phones and the only trips we really take to go camping. The other teacher judge use on this the only reason why she did not Everyone knew she had favorites and who they were. In my sister class, her favorite was a trouble maker who did not have good grades but I believe he had a heart for helping people. In my class, her favorite was again a trouble maker, but he had really good grades and a really high IQ but his moral were bad. I will not go into too much detail because if he does change I do not what this to affect him. His morals are not really affecting me and he was a kid back then and did not know better. But for my teacher they are grown adult they should know what they do affect people. They should know to be a teacher should not have favorites based on how they help their lives. My problem was I focus too much too much on the bad teacher I fail to realize the good teacher. My good teachers were the last of the teacher that taught me all of my middle school and old teacher who left and one teacher who became principal. (To clear thing I have four teachers for each main subject and one teacher left from left and one became Principal because the spot became vaccine. Then another one of my teachers came in and I did not really get to know him because I only knew him for a month. So in total, I had six teacher.) What differ from my good teacher and a bad teacher is that the good teacher care. Do not make the same mistake that I did which only focused on my bad teachers so then I forgot about the good teacher. Do not get me wrong my old school is great just a couple of people who did not care about if we succeed. Currently, at my high school, all of my teachers have been caring. It was not only my bad teacher how I was so stupid to not realize how much care my good teacher for middle and my past and current teacher at Graystone Day School had for me. If you are reading this I am sorry for not caring enough. You cared about my future when I did not. You guys spend so much time and energy only to be disappointed. I told myself that I did care about my future but I was lying to myself. The reason why I use to play games so much is was that because it helped relieves stress. It relieves the stress so much that I did not think about my grade. The reason why I was so stressful was that I knew that my grades are bad. I played games to keep me not think about the not grades. Not turn in my homework became a habit. So which I had a chance to start over I did not do it which let made my grade bad and then I got stressful so I play games. What I want people to take away from my action is to realize yourself who is the good teacher, teacher who care, and who are the bad, teachers who do not care. Both kinds will disappoint in you not have if you are no trying to get a good grade but they have a different reason. Bad teachers would want you to get a good grade to make themselves look good because they could brag about they are the reason another student has A in class but that means they would be the reason you D. At least one person has to care about you about your future. Teacher one advice I can give you is to do not give up on your students one you give up. They could have a moment where like me they realize you care about them because you want the best future. I will how to explain how my question applies to the text above. I want to know how college deals with people who stay a year in high school. I really hope they deal with it on a case by case base and look at the reason you failed because if I mess up and get a really bad grade on a test and that test is enough to make me fell that class I am almost positive certain if I fell just one of my class that I will have to stay a year. Can someone please time me soon. I do not get into college what was the point of going to Graystone Day School which is a college prep school. I hear college like to have that have at least fail once in their academic from station 88.5. But I 60% sure that they did not get held back. I also know that if you do not have a high enough GPA you can't even apply for some college. I heard that you can raise your GPA by taking some classes in the summer at a college. Is that true and if could I take one becasue I am in 10th grade and I do not know if it only for 11th grade? #advice #gpa #college #college-advice #career
How do you find a college that is best fit for you?
I am going into my senior year of high school and need to start preparing for college applications. There are several universities that I have been drawn to, but after doing a ton of research, I could not seem to find a university that offers the whole package. I plan to go into the field of occupational therapy in the future, so when I discovered the 5-year BS/MS OT program, I set my mind on getting into one. Throughout high school, I also focused on maintaining a pretty high GPA to increase my chances in getting accepted into one of the top 30 universities in the United States. Additionally, I am looking into colleges on the East coast so I won't be too far from my family. Of course, recreational facilities, hands-on opportunities, and tuition cost are other big things I look for in a college. To my disclosure, there aren't many options that carry the whole load. When choosing one university, I would have to toss out some of the perks I wanted.

While in college, is it possible to balance a social life, extra-curricular activities (such as student government), a part-time job AND maintain a 4.0 GPA? Or is a 4.0 even a realistic goal?
In high school, I am pretty involved my various activities (NHS, sports, job, youth group, music, etc.), but still manage to keep a 4.0 GPA. A few of my friends who are currently in college, who had a 4.0 in high school, talk about how difficult to keep even a 3.8, much less 4.0. #college #college-jobs #social-media #extracurriculars #gpa

How important is GPA in college?
I am a sophomore in college, and the classes I have been taking have been pretty tough. I'm always studying to try to stay ahead of the curve, and the professors usually give harder tests that warrant lower averages. In the field that I am interested in (Computer Science), I have doing well, but cumulatively, some of grades I have gotten have been Bs and Cs (in classes such as Chemistry and Physics), and as a result, it has lowered my GPA significantly. Should I try harder to get a higher GPA, or should I just continue to work hard, but focus more on CS related projects? #college #engineering #science #computer #gpa
