Learn to Love Studying

We've entered a new millennium.  Education nowadays plays a very important role.  Without knowledge it will be impossible to work for the good of the society.  A lot of work will be done by computers and other "clever" machines.  People will work out new ideas, think over the problems impossible for the machine.

I'm sure studying is necessary for everybody beginning from the early age. I like to study, and I have always loved it.  But I watch my classmates and understand that most of the students don't like studying.  A lot of them think that childhood and young years should be full of entertainment, rest otherwise life will be dull, deprived of joy.

I disagree with such point of view.  I think studying can bring joy and entertainment and rest.  Studying is very hard when we hate it and if we don't see the joy in it.

"Love" is the main word in studying.  I've noticed if I love a new English word, I memorize it better and very quickly.  If I have some difficulties for example in Math, I sit down at the desk and say to myself: "OK Math, I love you very much; let's work together."  Maybe it sounds like a joke, but I'm sure every school subject has its own attractions; we need only to find them.  It's necessary to find the source of joy, the joy of acquiring new knowledge. 

So, everybody should learn to love studying.

The Art of Drawing 

Drawing is a special talent that only some people are blessed with. It's not always the same type of drawing but its drawing. Say, for instance, me  - I draw with line drawings and some shadowing; others specialize in shading and sketching. Now, I don't like to make up a drawing, but instead I like to draw cartoon characters like Dragon Ball Z or Bugs Bunny. Now, to close this statement, I will say when it comes to drawing I'm your man. 

The New Hot Summer Program

Today am going to tell you about a program that I am in. It is called the Adas Mckinley Upward Bound program. It is a place where kids in Chicago can to go to camp for a month. They will go to classes like they would go to in school, but in these classes they will be getting a head start in the work that they would be doing in the fall or when school starts. 

They have many classes that you can take on your free time. It is a great place to get a head start on you schoolwork, and it is a great place to meet new friends. That is the new hot summer program.

The Upward Bound Program and its Effects on Students 

 I was just introduced to this program so I don't really know much about it. But I do know that my older sister was not doing well in high school so my cousin told her about it. She decided to try 
 it, and she saw a lot of improvements in all of her school work. 

So, me being the next one in my family to enter high school, I didn't want to end up like my sister. So, I took it upon myself to join this program so I could finish high school with a scholarship in the culinary arts.

The Importance Of School

Yes, many people have suggestions and opinions on schooling. I believe that there are three categories in which to put the suggestions: those who attend school point of view, those who have attended school point of view, and those who have but did not complete it. 

The ones who attend school now have a better way of explaining it than others because every day they are faced with problems like peer pressure, clothes, and the way we are viewed by others. As a senior in high school, to me school was based on looking good and what happen to whom and when. Now that's just some people's way of looking at things today.  Older people say that we are the future, and if they could do it over, they would.

The second suggestion is from the ones who have completed school and set examples for the others. However, they also had the same thoughts that we had like not going, but now they have a strong message to give back like hard work pays off. They were right, and they have now accomplished their goals. However, they still thought the same as we do now.

Last but not least, we have the ones who did not complete and don't want others to do so either. They always have negative comments like school was nothing, how they hated it and have for years, and how they can go with out it. 

So, you be the judge of it - which one describes you?!!!!
 

The Upward Bound Program 

The Upward Bound Program is a program during the summer. It helps people get ready for high school and college and helps you do better in school. This is my first year in the program, and I am having fun.

At first I didn't want to come, but now I want to stay. This program gives students the help that they need while having fun at the same time. I would recommend this program to anybody I know.

Ada S. Mckinley Upward Bound

Ada S. Mckinley Upward Bound is a program that helps high school students accomplish their college career. During the school year they provide tutoring on the weekends. It really helps if you are having problems in any subject at school. My grades improved through the school year. During the summer we get to stay on a college campus and take classes that we will have in our up-coming school year. On the last week of the summer session, we go on college tours.
