I am sure your quest for High School has come to an end as you read this article. Yes, gone are those days when we have to search endlessly for High School information. Even without articles such as this, with the Internet all you have to do is log on and use any of the search engines to find the High School information you need.


Why does high school and middle school start earlier in the morning than elementary school?
It makes no sense. Don't they no that high schoolers and middle schoolers are older and High School their bodies are going through A LOT of changes. They have more homework and have way less energy than a bouncing little kindergartner, and usually they have to do the chores in the house while their little brother or sister watches cartoons. So why in the world can't the little kids wake up earlier to go to school since they have more energy to burn?

    I cannot comment on history, as I teach senior math, physics, chemistry, calculus. I spend zero time planning. Most of my marking gets done at school. My job is easy for me, but I don’t think this is normal. Most teachers need to plan more than I do or things don’t work out very well. I’m lucky in that teaching comes easy to me.Most teachers are very busy in their first year, and after that it gets much easier. The more you can re-use and borrow from other teachers, the better.

    There is a common misconception that a “Commercial Pilot” is the same as an Airline Pilot. This is not necessarily the case. A Commercial Pilot Certificate simply allows you to operate an aircraft for hire. Much like a Commercial Driver’s License. In order to act as Pilot In Command of an airliner, you need what’s called an Airline Transport Pilot certificate.So, if someone is a commercial pilot, that doesn’t automatically make them an airline pilot.Is a high school diploma required to obtain your Commercial Pilot Certificate? No. The requirements are as follow (directly from FAR 61.121)Be at least 18 years of age.Be able to read, speak, write, and understand EnglishPass the required Commercial Pilot knowledge test.Receive and log the required ground and flight training from an authorized instructor.Hold at least a Private Pilot Certificate.

    you can do anything. fitting in a new crowd will come in naturally. when i entered high school, i was with people i’ve never seen before. i was with people whose personalities are way beyond what i was used to. but it turned out quite okay… actually, it turned out to be great! and i’m about to do the same thing in about 2 months. its scary, and sad.sad-because i’m going to leave my friends and scared because i’m going to enter in a new world. but everything’s going to be fine…and about the requirements and stuff, don’t worry too much. you will have enough time to do all of hose. the school will give you enough time. besides, how will the schools convince students to study there if they are too strict, and hard to enroll, and all…i hope i helped you…

    Step 1. Take acting classes — this will help determine what you can do and what you like to do; you might find yourself interested in Shakespeare, or maybe you’re destined to star in films.Step 2. Do plays — this will help you get a sense for the real deal, working with people. I don’t mean little kid summer camps, I mean community plays. Look for what you can audition for at your local theater.Step 3. Get good grades and get into a good arts college — Julliard is nice, but if you don’t make the cut, try a nice, private, liberal arts collegeStep 4. Become your own agent — this way, you won’t have to pay for one, and you can trust yourself.Extra Credit — Join some theater camps or schools over the summer; it certainly couldn’t hurt.

    What is sport? It is a situation where Person A competes with Person B and the best person wins, while someone comes second. However eventually if the person who comes second raises their attitude, trains, then the chances are they will beat the same person next time around. Likewise Team A plays Team B and one teams wins, while the other team comes second. Likewise if the team who came second raises their standards, then they might be winners next time around.In School sport is not about fitness, its about how to compete, how to be a winner and how to be a looser, if the person likes one to one situations, or if they are a Team player. All that life has to offer can be found in sport, from being the individual, the outsider, to being a team player, working in a team. To winning gracefully and loosing gracefully, to having the right attitude, personality, to accept defeat and strive for perfection.Most employment situations will have the same attributes as Sport, and that is why sport is rewarding, even if you cannot hit a ball, let alone catch a ball.

    I’m about to begin the admission process for medical school. The best thing you can do in highschool is to prepare yourself for your undergraduate work in college. I’ve worked as a paramedic, and that experience helped me confirm that medicine was the route for me. You might consider taking an EMT course and spending a little time working on an ambulance or in the ER. This could give you a little hands on experience to see if this is really what you want to do. When you get to college, talk to the pre-med or pre-health advisor. They can show you the requirements for pre-med. Study hard and get good grades. The average GPA at most medical schools is very high, 3.77 at the school I’m applying to. Also, take a review course for the MCAT. They are expensive (around $1500) but they will make a huge difference in your performance. Any volunteer work is good. It doesn’t have to be in the medical field. Any community involvement looks GREAT on you application. I hope this helps you out a little bit. Good luck!

    Freshman year first day tips by me:NERVOUS:For one, it’s very normal to be nervous. I can promise you that you won’t be the only one. From experience, when months pass by and it’s the last week of school, you’ll want to know why you were scared to begin with. It’s only new adjustments that’s all. CLASSES:Choose them wisely, don’t go for honors or AP if you know you can’t handle it. Go for an elective that you enjoy. FRIENDS:You will meet new friends and by doing that you have to: Be yourself, Come out of your shell, and Get involved (meaning that you should join clubs or sports so that you could meet new people from all grade levels). On the first day, you can always say hi to the person sitting next to you and start up a quick conversation before the teacher begins. Once the teacher begins the class goes on quiet mode. SLEEP:To get some sleep; Just try and shut down your brain. Don’t worry about how the next day will turn out. . . trust me it will get there. Just listen to yourself breathing and in no time you’ll be asleep. Or think about the downsides like homework, projects, essays and teachers who don’t know when to stop talking.FIRST DAY warnings:You’ll run into a lot of quiet, loud, mature, immature, nice and mean people. If anyone verbally attacks you as a freshman, just S H A K E it off. Remember that they are nobody or lets just say NOTHING. LUNCH:Lunch can be very overcrowded, but all you need to do it find a friend; whether it’s someone you just met or someone from last year, then ask if you can join them. If your aware that a close friend or an acquaintance might have your lunch then plan ahead and ask if you can sit with them on the first day.-There is also a large variety of foods to choose from.WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS ON FIRST DAY:Folder – for all the syllabuses, rules, guidelines, & supply lists that your teacher passes outPencil – Just in case your asked to do a small activity that involves writingPaper – Again for the small activityLocker items – If your locker was already given out to you then it’s best to bring your lock & throughout the week you can bring your locker items.–And any girl/boy accessories that you may need. (ipod, phones, makeup, brushes, etc.)DON’T FORGET:Focus on your grades, try to balance everything out academically and socially. Be yourself. Don’t give in to peer pressure.Stay out of drama and hang with the right crowd. Do NOT procrastinate.Study for those exams and testsShow school spirit!

    i am scared…but i know some 10 & 11th graders so hopefully everything will be okay! WOOOO!Class of 2012 ROCKS!=)

    I live in Montgomery County (outside Washington, D.C.), and no one is knowingly allowed to attend public elementary, middle or high school here, unless they live here. No money will change that.Keep in mind that there are over 1 million counties in America, so it would help if you told us your area.

    I teach seniors…. but I’ve taught every grade from 9 to 12…. and these are the biggies I think every girl should know…First, some advice every freshman needs to hear….1. DO NOT WRITE LETTERS!! DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING YOU WOULDN’T MIND SEEING PRINTED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER READS AT HER CHURCH!!! Unfortunately your friends may not be as discreet with your private buisness as you’d like and teachers and other students can end up reading your deep, dark secrets. 2. Be friends with everyone. Don’t try to have a clique like the movie Mean Girls or the Gossip Girls books. You may not like everyone, but be nice to everyone. It pays in the long run. Your best friend in 9th grade will most likely not be your best friend when you are a senior, so don’t burn bridges. 3. Don’t go boy crazy, even if you are the prettiest girl in your class. I know a lot of kids say they don’t care about their reputations, but one day you will. You only get a few chances to make mistakes with your reputation. You don’t want to be the girl every guy wants to “date,” but that no one will take to prom. 4. Don’t date just one guy all through high school. Spend time with your friends, too, not just with a boy. And don’t let a boy choose your friends for you…. be your own person and like yourself. Don’t think you are married in high school!! 5. Realize now that you will probably suffer a broken heart at least once, and begin telling yourself now you will get over it and he isn’t the only boy in the world who could possibly ever make you happy. 6. Have fun, socalize, but remember you go to school to get an education. Start studying hard in 9th grade…..your grades count in high school and your class rank is determined beginning in grade 9. You want to be in the top ten percent if you can possibly do it. Most kids won’t start caring about grades until junior year, so if you start in the 9th grade you will be ahead of most others!! 7. Don’t be loud to try to get attention. Some girls talk loud and act silly to get attention – but that is not the kind of attention you want. People will laugh at you….. 8. Don’t chase boys. Yes, it is 2006, but let boys pursue you….show interest, but let him call you….. 9. GET INVOLVED!! Join clubs or try out for sports teams or drama or the school paper or yearbook, etc……. this is critical!! Disappointments you face will be easier to bear if you have interests and activities to keep you busy. You will meet people and you will enjoy school more if you are involved – you will feel ownership and pride …. I promise!! Good Luck….. The next four years will be the best four years of your life if you have the right attitude and are a nice person…..:)

    I don’t know about specifically Pharmacy, but I studied Biomedical Sciences and more with the book “The Human Body In Health & Disease” by Thibodeau and Patton. It’s really helpful for learning, at a very good level of depth for a teenager, about the different human body systems. It goes through each in a way that helps you understand them very well. You should learn more about this book, and buy it if you think it will help you.

    Don’t get me wrong, the more you learn the better, but some people who don’t know any better feel like you have to have a PhD in physics to be a pilot and completely ignore the bigger issues. This is my experience as a person who has trained through their commercial pilot land. I know there are many airline pilots on YA who could give a far more detailed answer especially as the ATP written is concerned. The only math I’d suggest putting extra emphasis on is algebra and trig. Really most of math in flying (time enroute, fuel burn etc) at the most low tech levels is done on an E6B. Takes about 15 minutes to learn the ropes and once you pass your private you can use an electronic one which is just like a calculator. Flying big iron you’ll have a flight computer to handle all that for you. Trig only really comes in handy when you’re running a ground speed check sans area nav equipment (GPS, intertial or LORAN). Even then a) 99% of all speed math in aviation can be done by either multiplying or dividing a number by 60 and b) it is much easier just to ask a controller for your ground speed readout if you’re talking to ATC. There are other advanced formulas requiring trig or the like, but they only really qualify as cool to know, but nothing you’d ever use for the most part. As long as you have an average understanding of math, the formulas will be taught (hence the it would be good to be decent at algebra) such as weight and balance shift. As an example, drop the last zero in your groundspeed to get how far you’ll fly in 6 minutes. I don’t need a PhD to drop a zero. Fuel burn is X pounds / gallons per hour and at my speed I’ll need to fly for Y hours. I have Z pounds and X times Y is less than Z and i stil have the FAA or company required reserve fuel left over, yup I’ll get there. That is all pretty basic math. It would be nice to know some physics, but like everything else, if you are decent at science it will be taught to you and you’ll be able to put 2 and 2 together. Sure when you learn about P factor early on it might be cool to know the force applied given RPM and prop size and know the rudder effectiveness and the exact deflection needed, but really, just keep your foot on the rudder and keep the pointy end aimed down the runway. If it is offered focus on weather, fluid dynamics, electronics, law and auto shop. Not saying to skimp on the math or science, they are important. Don’t take the dummy math class, but don’t take AP calc at the expense of a weather class. You’re far more likely to get killed not knowing about weather or mechanics than by not knowing the lift drag ratio. A micro burst is going to ruin your day / life if you don’t know what conditions they form in. Likewise while no HS auto shop won’t teach you how a jet engine works, all engines suck in air, suck in fuel, compress the two, blow it up and spit it out. The other three, well, air is essentially a fluid and the fuel is a fluid. Also you’ll have to know a decent bit about avionics etc. Lastly, law seems odd, but if you get around to reading the FAR’s (and you will know them all too well) it’d be nice to know how to read lawyer speak. Lastly, I’d strongly advise against going to a university that only offers aviation degrees as has been suggested. While the person that suggested that is very young and most certianly far more mature for their age than many, I ask you to consider this. I’ve never seen an airline that specified a math or science related degree. Most commercial pilots I know have degrees in liberal arts (english, poly sci and the like). They didn’t have any trouble getting hired by major airlines. On the flip side, if (and most pilots do) you get fulroughed, how are you going to support yourself? Your flight hours and degree in aviation are virtually worthless on the general job market. I’d look in to getting a degree in something other than aviation as a fall back. All the airlines want is a 4 year degree, doesn’t matter in what. Again, I’m not bashing math or science, I’m just saying there are other subjects that would be more relevant. Best of luck to you in the future.

    … normal dictionaries? Webster’s? Ones that don’t say ‘juniour’?

    i’m in high school but not a freshman. just be prepared for about the first 2 weeks of school, cus freshman get picked on A LOT by 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. after awhile they get over it and stop picking on you guys. just some advice, don’t act like a freshman!!! don’t try too hard like the way you dress or act, and don’t be annoying otherwise you’ll just get made fun of. middle school is a lot worse than high school tho ,so if you got through middle school then i’m sure you’ll get through freshman year. it’s really fun they do a lot of fun activities. and you make soo much friends!. btw. most girls get a boyfriend atleast once throughout the year, just don’t sleep with every guy you go out with, cus it’s just stupid. i heard this thing that in high school “you have no privacy once you do something stupid, it’s everyone business!” it’s true rumors fly around and everyone knows everything. so try to stay away from that. goodluck!

    You definitely need to take music. Check online to determine what courses the college you choose will want you take to get the music therapy degree. See if any courses offered at your high school would be precursors to the ones you will take while attending college. Better yet set up a visitation to the college you want to attend and meet with the councilors there.Good luck to you.
