Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Balancing High School and Part-Time Work

Part 1

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/high-school/45266.html

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 most sense for you.

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

Summary/Reflection

This story was about the tournaments with horses. There was torture going on with the horses, just to train them to do some fancy walk. They put some chemicals near the horse’s ankles and would treat them harshly to walk like they did. All of this just for a ribbon that is worth $1.95. The people were becoming into evil monsters that harmed innocent animals for nothing. The trainers had no feelings towards this matter, and as a result, when they got caught, they ran out of business. Even Pepsi severed ties with the tournaments due to what the news found out.

I think that this is really disgusting. People should not be hurting animals just for pleasure. They hurt them to win a dumb medal that, in the end, isn’t even worth anything. The horses are beautiful and they don’t deserve that kind of treatment, not from anyone. The trainers need to go to jail for what they do to them, it is inhumane to torture or hurt an animal on purpose to win some money or medals. The trainers should also be forced to pay for the damages done to the horse and anything else they did harm to. The video was shocking and it was wrong for them to do that. I don’t think I’ll ever attend one of those tournaments, not after what I saw.

This news story is about Tiger Woods and his family. His half-brothers need help from him.  His brother has multiple sclerosis and need medical attention. Also, his brother is losing his home due to the fact that he needs the money for the caregiver. He doesn’t have money for both the home and the caregiver. They are leaving messages but Tiger will not reply. They need his help urgently. They have never asked for anything and this is the first thing they ask for, the health of his brother, but he won’t reply.

I think that Tiger needs to wake up and see what is happening. His brother is dying and he needs help really quick. Even though he is doing fine right now, he may soon not be fine. He needs Tiger’s help to pay for the home while he pays for the caregiver. Tiger makes millions and millions when he is playing and he can’t spare some money to save his brother? This is wrong and Tiger should be helping him. He should have a kind heart and reach out to others especially family.
