help with school work?

I’m in all advanced classes and I’m also in a orchestra at my school but i can never find time to do everything i need to after school. i always have homework and i sometimes take a lil while finishing it and i sometimes don’t even get the chance to study for upcoming tests or even practice my violin for my orchestra class because by the time i know it, its already 11pm. I’m in the 8th grade, but I’m taking 2 high school courses and I’m having some trouble on those two courses and i know that if i get low grades in there, it wouldn’t look very nice whenever I’m older and professors at college look at my high school courses. Another thing that i feel like i don’t have time for is a life. I’m always stuck at home doing some kind of school work and i never get to have time to go out and go to places a lot. If anyone has any ideas on what could help me in my situation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Today I’m 47 but I lived like you when I was a youngster. It is hard and frustrated. I never had friends. I even couldn’t learn to ride a bike. Anyway, you may find the way to organize better yourself. Sometimes you will succeed very well in all, sometimes you will feel as you failed in an activity.

Finally in my experience I dropped the music. I was in a very advanced grade (8th) at the Conservatory and I studied Physic Science in College. My mother, my piano teacher and many people cried about my decision but I need to live other things that my study and be the owner of my time.

Maybe you will drop ‘something’ ‘sometime’, don’t blame yourself, this is what life is.

A year ago my husband gave me as a birthday present a piano and I have played it for my own since. I am going to class and some friends had offered me to play in concerts.

I love piano, it gives me peace and make me express my feelings.

So, you will take the better way to move along all your activities the most, and when time comes to make a choice do it with the heart and love it.

Good luck.

PS if you need Math or Physics counseling, write me, I will be glad to help you. 😉

Either you could drop out of some of your advanced classes, or I would recommend adopting a new study method. Like recording yourself saying notes and listening to it while your doing something else, or trying to more of your homework at school. If you aren’t happy w/ your high school course grades you could probably take them again in high school, this will ensure you really know the material. Well anyway good luck…!!

Maybe you should think about dropping one or both of those high school courses until you think you can handle them better, or wait till you get to high school.

If you start out this strained early in life, it will weigh out on your future.

Talk to your parents and/or guidance counselor to see if there is anyway you can drop those classes without hurting your grades at all. Or maybe to find another solution.

But don’t just sit there and let your grades go down and explain after the fact that you couldn’t handle it all. It looks like your just making excuses. You need to tell them now so they can help you.

You know?

Though its good for you, honestly colleage doesnt look at your 8th grade year. they could careless. my advice would probably chill out on the high school courses..and when you say high school do you mean like Junior and Senior courses?…well anyway. Schools also look for someone who is well rounded and knows how to handle people. if you spend all your time worrying about HW and studying, then you will not be well rounded and scouts will think just a bit less about you.

remember, its not ALL about grades =]

you should plan your time wisely…. arrange the courses you need to work in priorities…. do the ones that needed to be done immediately and if there are any time left, do the others…. organize your time or you could have a planner and jot everything down and your estimated time that it would be finished….. dont pressure yourself too much because if you do that, you wont do your very best at every courses you take… take one step at a time and enjoy the time that you are working even if its the most boring one cuz if you love something that you do, you will definitely finish everything nicely…. good luck…..

You could make a tape of yourself saying what needs to be studied, an listen to it while you’re doing your other homework. You’re bound to memorize something.
