I'm homeschooled and I feel like I'm missing out? :(?
I know plenty of public school kids that DREAD going to pep rallies. Pep rallies are put on by the popular kids, and it gets really boring because only the popular kids participate. No one wants to hang out with teachers, that's just kind of strange. Band has been cut in many schools, it's not in the budget. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You have more free time being homeschooled. Public school kids are stuck in classrooms all day, then they go home and have to do hours of homework. There's no reason why you can't meet people. Get a job or volunteer, and you will meet a bunch of people.
How long do you serve in jail for missing 40 hours of community service?
The Judge should have said something like one year in jail but I will suspend your sentence if you do 40 hours of community service. So find the paper work from your court hearing and it should tell you. You can also call your probation officer if your on probation. If your not on probation and you can not find the papers from your court case then you need to call the court quick to find out were you can start doing community service.
I'm missing one requirement for college am I screwed?
I am transferring from a Community College to a 4 year University this fall. I have a 3.38 gpa. I am missing one year of a 2nd language from back in high school. Will I still be able to get accepted if I am missing this one high school requirement? I graduated from high school just didn't take a 2nd year of language because it was rather difficult for me. Just wondering if my gpa would be high enough too let then overlook the requirement or how could I Make up that extra credit now.. If that is even possible .
Should community service be a required part of secondary and college education?
I feel yes, because:It can have a lot of positive effects on students, such as helping them to develop skills, making contacts, and allowing them to improve the quality of life of others.You may be familiar with community service already because it is something that your school requires. In fact, many high schools throughout the United States require their students to help out the community in some way in order to graduate. Though it’s often on the honor system to report what you've done, these high schools may require up to 200 hours of community service before they're willing to grant a degree.One of the big ways that students will benefit from volunteer work is through personal development.When you're working on campaigns and projects and getting to see real-life results, you'll get to know how your personal attributes and actions can make a difference giving an insight on personal strengths and weakness.Many students also find that community service makes them more aware of and interested in issues of social justice.Numerous studies over the past several years have shown that volunteering isn’t just good for your mind and conscience; it’s also good for your body. By focusing on others’ problems instead of their own, students have reported reduced stress, and overall improvement in mood and health.Volunteering allows students to become directly involved in their communities. Some students don’t realize how important volunteers are to the country and to many organizations.The truth is that it’s one of the most popular extracurricular activities that students list on their college applications. And while colleges don’t necessarily expect students to have spent all their free time volunteering, schools (especially the more competitive ones) will usually notice a total lack of community service.Recent studies also show that half of the employees surveyed thought that their volunteer experience had helped them land their job, and up to 20% of employees thought that their volunteer experience helped them gain key skills in communication, leadership, and time management that were important to their jobs.Source: https://blog.prepscholar.com/ben...
Should I get my GED rather than finish high school?
More than 40% of people who drop out of high school do it because they think the GED will be easier. The GED looks like a shortcut. And in a way, it is. In a 7.5 hour test you earn the academic equivalent of a high school diploma, which requires 1,080 hours of school per year.The academic standards required to pass the GED are higher than the standards required to pass high school (The GED Testing Service tests a sample of graduating seniors to confirm this). Still, whatever your reasons for dropping out of high school, passing the GED test can only provide the academic equivalent credentials.If you want to earn a GED so you can get into a four-year college later, keep in mind that college involves many hours of listening to lectures, participating in discussions, doing homework, presenting projects, and other school-related activities you can’t simulate in a 7.5 hour test. The GED Testing Service says that over 60% of recent GED recipients are currently enrolled in college. But having a GED instead of a high school diploma could affect how competitive your application is.A high school diploma can demonstrate several important qualities a GED can’t, such as:Commitment/perseveranceWork ethicSocial skillsHigh school is hardly the only place you learn these skills, but if you have a GED, you may have to draw on other experiences (such as volunteer work or a job) to demonstrate these qualities. A great application essay or interview becomes extra important.Still, the GED Testing Service claims that over 97% of colleges and employers accept a GED. So while dropping out to get a GED may not be a better option than finishing high school, it’s still certainly an option.I would recommend you carefully consider your reasons for dropping out and think about what those reasons might communicate to future employers or college admissions offices. If you want to get a GED because you think it will be easier, you’re perpetuating a stigma that GED recipients have to overcome.Starting college early could give you a leg up on “fixing your grades,” but if you never graduate high school and want to go on to a four-year college, you may have to fix more than your grades.
Transcript for community college?
Community colleges are (almost always) open admission colleges. That means that if you meet the minimum requirement (usually high school diploma or GED) then you get admitted. You most likely don't need SAT/ACT scores and your HS performance can be pretty poor. But, if you aren't prepared for college level work then you'll need remedial work at the community college. That could mean more time to get your education because you'll be catching up some of what you've already missed. Open admission also doesn't mean that you'll get into the most selective of programs (such as the RN program) but only that you'll be allowed to attend. Most community college programs aren't very selective at all. Being able to get in doesn't mean you'll graduate though. You'll have to stay motivated and put in some effort to make it happen. My wife dropped out of HS at the end of 10th grade. In 2002, after a few years of working for low pay in jobs that don't lead anywhere she decided she needed an education after all. She got her GED, got accepted to a university, got not one but two bachelor's degrees (BA and BS) and will be walking across the stage this next weekend to receive her master's. She's already applied for her second master's program. If you want to, you can get more education. I know another person that dropped out with her. He doesn't seem to be able to keep a job and tells people "education don't mean Jack, it's who you know that counts". Guess which of them is having a more comfortable life. ☺

Will I be able to get into a good college without volunteer hours if all of my grades are A+s?
The definition of a “good” college varies widely. If I were you, I’d contact the admissions office of the college you would love to attend and ask them what they like to see in terms of grades, extracurricular activities, test scores, volunteering experience, work experience, and essays. Now, you really shouldn’t ask all that in one call, and you should do your research first. So, discover what you can online, and then come up with a very specific question. Here’s one:“My GPA is [insert GPA here] and my profile also includes [insert other info very briefly], but I don’t have any volunteer hours. How will the lack of volunteer hours affect my admissions potential? Is it important for me to add volunteer hours before I apply?”Every school is different, and so you really need to learn about the specifics from each school you apply to. Very often, there will be a preferred general profile that is a starting point for considering someone for admission. But, it’s common for students applying to top schools to have a lot of cred in a couple of areas and less cred in others. If everything is amazing, but you don’t have volunteer hours, it’s unlikely that will stop you from getting into a challenging college. However, why risk it? If 99% of applicants have volunteer hours, you should check that box.You don’t have to volunteer through the usual places to rack up hours. If you’re an amazing math tutor, volunteer at the library in a lower income area. Do it maybe three hours per week for a specific age range under the supervision of a librarian. If you’re pretty good at making websites, volunteer to create a website for a small nonprofit organization and maintain it before college, training up another student to take that over after you’re in college.If you do meaningful volunteer work, you can use it as work experience on your resume when you’re looking for a job. Work experience doesn’t have to be paid experience. Just get a recommendation letter and the contact information for the person who supervised you so you can ask them for a reference later. Make a good showing, and they might be an additional reference on your college application.You don’t say why you haven’t volunteered, but I would suggest that you’re missing a great opportunity to shine now and in the future. Get out there and do something to boost your odds for college admissions, scholarships, and jobs.Let us know what you do.
