He was a Gold Medal- Losing Thieve. But at the end he ended up being happy to take the weight off his shoulders. He won a gold medal and a record but lost it all after he gave in to the truth that he was using drugs during the race walking. After all of the race he just wanted to win. But got everything including his medals stripped from him. I don't know why he just didn't race at all if he knew he was going to lose. He might of actually won even if he hadn't used the drugs

. Remember you never win when you cheat you just lose.

Distance Education: IS a Virtual Classroom for You?

Distance Education: IS a Virtual Classroom for You?

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/high-school/47337.html

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class --- through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet-based technology lets students participate in lectures in class sessions online almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses.

For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

NEVER FEAR THE RIGHT

Student Success Statement

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it’s right.”

First of all if you’re doing the right why would you be afraid?  But if your actions need courage then you might just be fearful. For example where you might be fearful but choosing the right would be in a time of war.

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·      Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·      Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·      Avoid time conflicts by planning your class work and schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·      Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes watching in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of down time and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do school work.

·      If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

·      Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·      If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·      Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

Break

Spring Break

For most of the time I stayed home. But the places I went was to the park, my cousins house, and to play some football. I went to my cousins Monday after playing football with my friends. Then I slept over his house because it was closer. The on the last day I went to visit my uncles who came from Australia. They came on their vacation time. We just wanted to say hi and they brought us souvenirs from Australia.

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “For example, student actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”
