Staying Organized in School This issue’s topic: organization. I know that there are middle schoolers out there who desperately need to get organized. But the problem is…. it’s just so HARD. It doesn’t have to be, though, if you have the write method. Here are some tips to get your locker, expando/binder, and school life running smoothly. Tip 1: Get a good backpack. Don’t buy one just for looks because it will probably end up falling apart. One with lots of room and several compartments. Designate the different sections: a pocket for homework, gym clothes, books and so on. A duffel bag is fine too, just make sure it’s good quality. Tip 2: Get an expando, binder, or folders to keep your papers and homework in. If you have an expando or binder (which I recommend), make sure you have dividers to label a section for each class. Also make sure you label if you use folders. When you get a worksheet for a class, put it in the correct slot …show more content…

Try to make extra time that morning so you can study well. Also make sure you have everything for school that morning. Tip 4: Going along with tip 3, if you can absolutely not get your homework done the night before (which I doubt, unless you have a game, meet, etc.) make time in the morning to finish it. Some people can focus well late at night, though. Do whatever yields quality results. Tip 5: Do not procrastinate! I know this is hard, I am a bad procrastinator myself, but you will thank yourself later. I know it’s tempting to check Snapchat for “just a few minutes” (*cough cough* a few hours) but if you finish your assignments first, you will have more time to do that later. Same goes for projects. Do that book project as soon as you can and plan your science fair project before you are supposed to. I hope this article helped you, and I hope you try out some of these tips. Remember, if you are trying your hardest, you will be

Saltillo High School no longer assigns lockers to students, but it should. Students will often have multiple books and binders to carry home every day in their bags resulting in a sore back and shoulders from the strain of the heavy backpack. The lockers are already in place, so allowing the students to use them would not cost the school any money. There really is no reason why the students should not be able to have access to them.

I am Jimmy Nguyen, a graduate from the S.T.E.M(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program of L.V Berkner High School. Unlike the classmates in the class, I am the type of person that will work hard in order to achieve a goal that would eventually help me hit my milestone. My strengths are being able to work with classmates, fighting back procrastination, and hardworking. My weaknesses are time management, being organized, and prioritizing. It is required to have at least double the amount of time I am in class, so for this class I am required to have at least four hours of study time outside of class.

When you first walk into the classroom you unknowingly familiarizing yourself with your environment, for example; you notice the low buzz of the air condition humming above you, the navy-blue standard school chair, cold to the touch from hours of vacancy, the four posters posted on the beige bulletin board that reminds you of the color of your tea after you have poured too much cream into it, or even the ten unfamiliar faces staring straight at you. There is a white board in the front of the classroom for when there are assignments or notes that need to be taken. The smooth grey tables have two outlets in the middle that allows students to charge devices if needed.

Time management is important to have because it helps get work done more efficiently and is a way to manage your priorities. Priorities along with making commitments are also learned from participating in a extra activity. Students learn how to prioritize their work when in activities while also finding a balance of everything else going on in their life; commitment is also learned but showing that a student needs to be 100% involved to put in their best effort to whatever they choose to do and to be be successful doing it. “Various research studies have lined participation in student activities to higher math and english grades, improved grades and homework completion, better performance on math, reading and science test, and an increased likelihood of applying to college” (Annemarie Mannion).
