How do I choose between family and school? Help !?
23rd December
I have been excepted at a great school in music for music composition, but I will miss my family badly. It's the school I want to go to the most, but it is a 4 year school and I won't be able to come home often, which i live in New York,USA. I am a family person. I am not dependent on them I just love them a lot! They are thrilled that I got in, but I can still get the same degree at NYU in New York City, where I live. What do I do? What would you do? No one would be angry at me either way, and that's not the point i just don't want to sacrifice seeing my family. I also don't want to sacrifice not going to my dream school in Austria. I am single and have no kids, so that is not a concern. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I say go to Austria.
I too love my family, and I went to a university not too far from where my family lived. What I discovered when I went to school is that I got so wrapped up in my own life, that I didn't visit my family as much as I wanted. Mostly just on holidays and in the summer — and I only lived three hours away! We spoke on the phone frequently, and all was fine.
I think if you don't go to Austria, you'll regret it. It's a great opportunity, so go for it. Use the phone, email, instant messaging, and handwritten letters to keep in touch. Visit home when you can, but don't let this chance of a lifetime slip through your fingers.
Agallah – New York Ryder MusicClasses To Take In High School To Prepare For College?
12th December
I am currently just finishing my sophomore year in high school,and next year,I am probably going to be homeschooled.I live in New York,and turned 16 in October,so as soon as this school year is over,the homeschooling laws no longer apply to me (at least this is my understanding,please correct me if I'm wrong).The program that I will use if I do homeschool is Keystone National High School,and here are the credits that I still need for graduation:
2 English
2 Social Sciences
1 Math
1 Health
1 Art/Music
2 Electives
The classes that I'm really interested in knowing about are social sciences and math.Like,do I really need to take US History,government,and economics (at my school they are all required,at Keystone they're not,and there are other choice)?I'd rather take something like psychology,sociology,or civics.For math,I need to take algebra II because my skills aren't high enough for precalc yet,so should I take an extra year just to do that?
Thanks!
I know what I'm going to be doing for English,so that's why I didn't ask.English is an easy subject for me anyway.As I said,I'm mostly worried about the social science classes and math.
OK,I don't think that people are getting my question.
I have already attended a public high school for 2 years,and I have the following credits:
2 English (9th,10th)
2 Social Science (global history 1,2)
3 Science (earth,bio,chem)
3 Foreign Language (which is an elective at Keystone)
2 math (algebra 1,geometry)
I'm asking what I should take in terms of math and social sciences.I would like to graduate early if at all possible,but my question with math was should I not do that so I can take precalc the year after next.
I don't actually really want to do US History because we did that in 7th and 8th grade,so although a course now would go into more depth,I'm not sure how much it would benefit me.Government and economics seem like fine classes,just not very interesting ones.
As to my future plans,at this point,I'm planning on going to college.After that,career plans include going into the medical field.This may or may not include going to medical school,I'm not sure.
Also,don't worry about the English.ALL of Keystone's classes require a fair amount of writing,and students who use the program have very good skills by the time they are finished.
I skipped gov't/econ in high school to do an extra history class and have never regretted it.
Get a good firm grounding in math and do as much as you can with English — not just English literature but with developing your critical writing and reading skills.
You will relearn psych, government etcetera basically from scratch if you take those classes in college , but you can't beat coming *into* college with good critical writing and reading skills — if you don't, you'll be playing catch-up from the start. I used to work as a math & writing tutor for first- and second-year college students and their biggest problem on the language side was that they were being asked to write and evaluate things on a college level and didn't know how. For your social science, take sociology: that will give you lots of critical reading practice.
Know how to create a thesis, write a five-paragraph outline, examine themes in a piece of writing. No matter what your major is, you will need to be able to read critically and write clearly when you get to college.
As for algebra II, take as much time as you need with it before getting on into pre-calc.
That's my advice. Hope you do well!
Legally, can my middle school perform a Broadway show still on Broadway?
10th December
My friends and I want my middle school to put on a production of "Legally Blonde" or "Hairspray", but our music teacher said we can only do musicals that aren't being performed on B-way anymore. Is there a law preventing this or is this just my teacher's policy? By the way, I go to middle school in New York.
OK, let me clarify something. You can legally do a show that is still on Broadway, as long as you can secure the rights. For instance, Hairspray is currently available from MTI — however, it is also restricted. Usually that means they will not release the show to a group if a professional production is available in the area. Since you are in New York, and Hairspray is still running, then your teacher is correct. It may be possible for me to secure the rights to do that show here in California, as long as I'm not planning my production when the National Tour is coming through the area.
My friend is looking for a school for audio engineering, any advise?
7th December
My friends really love music and she is looking for a school for audio engineering school in New York City. But she thinks that only community college can hit her budget.
Please advise for her and thank you in advance. Any one?
I'm not sure that a BS degree is issued for audio engineering but maybe so. I would look at finding a community college that works with the local university to allow students to take their core classes at the CC and then move into the university at a junior level. This is the "new" thing to help students be able to afford a 4 year degree. Have her call some to the CC (not Vo-Tech) in her area.
