Honesty 9 of 10

Honesty
9 of 10
Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.
What is Honesty?
·         Honesty is telling the truth.
·         Honesty is straightforward conduct.
·         Honesty is being sincere, truthful, trustworthy, honorable, fair, genuine, and loyal with integrity.
You are being honest when you…
·         Do your own homework
·         Tell a friend the truth
·         Explain the real reason you didn’t turn in your homework.
·         Keep your eyes on your own paper
·         Clean up your room after making a promise
·         Give the cashier the extra money she gave you by mistake
·         Write a report in your own words instead of copying
·         Admit you made the mistake
·         Keep a friend’s secret
·         Turn in a wallet full of money that you found
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

What I did on my spring break


What I did over my spring break was not much interesting as what I had hoped for. I really didn’t do anything fun because of all the homework that I got. I was given homework for my AP English class and my AP Spanish class. For English, I had to read two books and then do certain activities for each book. One of the books that we had to read was “The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night Time.” For this book, we had to create 20 dialectical journals. This is where we choose a quote from the book that we found interesting and explain why we chose that quote. Then we also had to read a book called “The Awakening.” For this book we had to do many things; the first thing was that the book was divided into four equal parts and we had to read a certain section a certain day. Then for each section we had to do a certain work. We had to write a summary every five pages, choose a quote and explained why we liked it, words that we thought interesting, and finding figurative languages. It was a lot of work for me to do and I got stressed. Then I also had to do my Spanish work which is where I had to create sentences using words given to us. This is what I basically did on my break. The only fun thing that I did was probably when I went out with my friends on my birthday, on Saturday. We went to go eat Tams and then we went to a friend’s house at watched movies.

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work Part 3


Balancing High School and Part-Time Work
Part 3
Brad MacGowan, of the Career Center at Newton North High School in Massachusetts, thinks that working can be a valuable part of a student’s life, if taken on responsibly. “You can derive a great deal from working, considerably more than just money,” he says. “In most cases, you can acquire a nice dose of discipline and a whole new set of skills and experiences. “In addition, your supervisor may be willing to write a strong college recommendation for you.
School Comes First
Schoolwork, including homework and studying for tests, should always be your top priority. MacGowan cautions students who do decide to work, “If you are rushing through your assignments…or not studying enough for tests because work, it’s time to cut back or quit and find a less time-consuming job.”
