Teens 15 and older can volunteer here after completing a three-hour orientation. Only those 18 and older can have direct contact with the patients. Teens younger than 18 can still help out by greeting patients and their families at the front desk and doing clerical work. The hospital asks for a minimum of a six month commitment plus 100 hours of service. Teens work a minimum of two to four hours a week, depending on the department and can choose their schedule. After service is completed, the hospital will write a letter to give students either high school or college credit.

    I find this interesting because you can work and not get paid. So like you can graduate from high school.

The Goal Of True Education

"Intelligence is not enough.Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education."

Martin Luther King Jr. 

What Martin is trying to tell us is that in order of a good education you must be intelligent and have character. Intelligent like get all A's is your classes do all the homework the teacher assignments and study even if you don't have homework for that class. And Character is like being a good person, ask nicely for things, dont use bad words, be respectful towards everyone, and don't bully. You have balance both of these together you can't be really smart and then be in jail, that is having a bad character. Same the other way around you can't be a really nice person and then not paying attention in school and not having good grades. So in order in having a good education remember always have good character and be intelligent. 

Student Success Statement

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do."

Richard L. Evans 

What Richard is trying to tell us is that we need to start doing good things and avoid doing bad things. In good things i mean choosing the right, like when you are with your friends and they want to steal from a local store, you must refuse and say no. Doing that and you will feel good because they might get caught and will be happy at home watching tv. Doing bad is like when you say yes in stealing and go with your friends to the local store and steal from that store, that's something you should never do. Don't steal because bad things will happen to you if you steal but if you don't steal only good things will happen. So always try to do good any where it could in  your house, in school, or outside when you are with your friends always choose the right no matter what. Be a ctr person ad the world will reward you.

Education

Education

“Education is the latch key to success in life”

BY Gordon B. Hinckley

What Gordon is trying to say is that if you stay in school you will have a better job or a better carrier in the future. If you stay in school and finish it you will have a way better job than the school dropout kids and will get paid more.
