Using Winter Break Time Wisely...
1. Wake up early. 

Nothing eats away the Winter break like moping around underneath the covers. Decide the previous day when you will get out of bed, then make sure you follow through.

During the first few days of vacation, chances are that you will relish the opportunity to sleep in. It's okay to do this and give yourself a break because your body will naturally put  itself on a schedule to wake itself up earlier.

2. Maintain Good Health and Hygiene

Brush your teeth and bathe often. Make sure to use sunblock even in the cold, and remember that the only healthy tan is a spay-on! Winter is a great time to get in shape, or stay in shape. Consider picking up a sport or at the very least get outside and have fun everyday.

3.Study

Particularly if you are a high school student, studying remains essential even though the school year is in short recess. Look over last year's notes, or do some research into what next year's courses have in store. When school resumes you'll be grateful that your academic knowledge and skills have not deteriorated you will be ready and not panicking that you doin't know something. Most of you Most of you already know if you have homework, reading, or others research stay on top of it. keep your brain active. Read for school for pleasure, research your own interests, or even just get into crossword puzzles.


4. Follow a routine
However loose, the structure will both motivate you and keep hours spent doing "nothing" to a minimum. Don't play to many videogames and even if it might be cold go out for a few hours every week.

5. Join a volunteer group of some sort.
All communities have some sort of soup kitchen or place where someone might need your help or you can start working on finding leads for the community service you will have to do in the future to graduate, you can help our at your church, or other places in the city.You will stay in contact with friends, have a great sense of accomplishment, stay active, and even help others!

6.Start a summer job.

This may differ depending on  your age. However make sure it is age appropriate and that you will follow through. Some ideas include working at a swapmeet stand, babysitting, lawn care

7.Go to a camp and learn something new

8.Stay active in  yoru society.

9. Read at least on book.

1.What direction do you see the U.S going?Why is it going this direction?

I think that this country will continue to be in the same state that it is in today or go down. I think this because there is no significant increase in jobs and it seems that they will not decrease.

2.Why do SAT scores in the U.S continue to go downward?

SAT scores in the U.S continue to worsen  because teenagers are getting more distracted. With all this new technology they have a whole world at their fingertips so it would easy for them to get distracted from work that they have in front of them. 

3.What are the solutions to low SAT scores?

To try to increase SAT scores schools could form study groups with teachers and tutors. 

4.Make a bullet list of a few problems with education in California.

little funding
better averaging schools recieve more funding
horrible food 

5.What are solutions to the California Education problems?

Some solutions could be that more money could be put aside to schools. They could probably recieve more attention from  politicians.

6."To educate a man in mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society" Theodore Roosevelt

I agree with this statement because if an immoral man is educated he could get a position of power and belittle others. He or she could also make other's lives stressful. When someone who is educated but not in morals gets an important job he/she might also not perform the job as well since they do not have integrity.

Student Success Statement

"It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that make the difference."

Paul Bear Bryant

Reflection:

I agree with this statement because before you can have any success you must first look for ways to get there. Being willing to take those steps shows true commitment. When people are willing to put in time and effort into what they want to achieve then they will eventually get there. Wanting success will not get you success. You must take the iniciative if you want anything to be accomplished. For example, if you want to become a better artist you can not just sit there daydreaming about what it would be like. You must take the first steps like you can practice everyday.
