Using winter break time wisely...

1. Wake up early. Nothing eats away the Winter break like moping around beneath the covers. Decide the previous day when you will get out of bed, then make sure 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 natually put itself on a schedule to wake up 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 spray-on! Winter is a great time to get in shape, or stay in shape. Consider joining a sport, or, at the very least, get outside and have fun every day.

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 don't know something. Most of you already know if you have homework, reading or other reseach, stay on top of it. You will be grateful when you return to school! Keep your brain active. Read for school or pleasure, research your own interests, or even just get into crossword puzzles.

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

5. Join a volunteer group of some sort.
6. Start a summer job.
7. Go to a camp and learn something new.
8. Stay active in your society.
9. Read at least one book.

1. What direction do you see the U.S. going? Why is it going this direction?
   I don't know because I'm not taught about the U.S.
2. Why do SAT scores in the U.S. continue to go downward?
   I don't know because I'm not taught about the SAT scores.
3. What are solutions to low SAT scores?
   Again, I don't know because I'm not taught about the SAT scores.
4. Make a bullet list of a few problems with education in California.
   -School feels like prison.
   -They blame us for problems they should be blaming the previous generation for.
   -They force us to learn subjects we would rather not learn.
   -They take no action on serious problems.
5. What are solutions to the California Education problems?
   -Take our opinions into considerations.
   -Don't make us feel like we're going to be failures in life if we don't "do good" in school.
6. "To educate a man in mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society" (Theodore Roosevelt)
   To reflect, Ted meant that without the proper morals being taught to us, we can be the most educated but yet lack the actual education we need to get through life. 

Student Success Statement 

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

Paul Bear Bryant  

This statement means that you have to be prepared for whatever is going to be thrown at you so you can dodge it and take the prize. You have to be sure you know what it is that you need to do in order to win so you can do it.

Paul 'Bear' Bryant
Paul 'Bear' Bryant was an American college football player and coach. He was best known as the longtime head coach of the University of Alabama football team. As head coach he won six national championship and thirteen conference championships. He also held the record for most wins as a head coach with 323 wins. Before Alabama, Bryant was head coach and other school, including the University of Maryland, the University of Kentucky, and Texas A&M University. Bryant was the 11th of 12 children born in Fordyce, Arkansas. He gained the nickname he holds because he agreed to wrestle a captive bear during a promotion for a theater when he was 13 years old. Bryant began playing football since the 8th grade.
