Catch a fa
I plan on being very very involved my junior year. with clubs and sports. Soccer in the spring, Track in the fall, Crew in the spring, National Honor Society secretary, Math leagues, Science Club, International language club, And Volunteering whenever I can so can I be able to get straight A's while doing everything?
Answer
Always possible. I have some tips on doing well AND being in extracurriculars.
WORK:
1. Set a goal:
Think of it this way. If you're trying to buy a new bike and you're trying to save $$, it's obvious that your goal is to buy the bike eventually. Same thing with school. Think of it as buying your new favorite item. Your goal = Get straight A's with an occasional B.
2. Don't get distracted:
This occurs at 2 places, at home and at school. When you do homework at home, don't have your tv, computer, radio, or anything else on! You're going to be more focused on that. At school, if you think you're going to get distracted, don't sit by your friends or by those pranksters or goofballs who don't do their work.
3. Have your supplies:
In order to do well, you need to have everything that you need for school (books, pencils, pens, etc). Keep everything neat and in hand. When I get books from school, I store them all under my desk so I can easily reach them. Do the same thing. Don't throw all your material everywhere!
4. Organization:
This is key. Keep your bookbag and notes neat. If you don't know how, here are a bunch of videos to help you:

5. Study with others or ask for help:
If you see yourself struggling, ask your friends for help. Other people you might want to ask are your older siblings, parents, neighbors, librarians, teachers, etc!
6. Review at home:
Most kids often just finish their homework in 5 mins and then go off to play. Don't be like one of them. Don't understand something at school? Reread your notes. If you still don't understand, reach for the computer, books, friends, parents, etc.
7. Learn from mistakes:
You say you hardly get 80's, learn why! Do you not study enough? Do you daydream? Do you get distracted? Learn them and fix them!
8. Sleep, health, exercise:
In order to do well in school, you must be physically "there". What I mean by this is, if your body is at school, your mind must be there too. Since you're around 13, you need 8-9 hours of sleep. Eat a good breakfast (cereal, fruits, oatmeal, omelette, etc). Don't eat junk like chips and cookies. Exercise! Try to get in at least 30 mins. You can run, play sports, dance, etc!
9. No procrastination:
This is the 1 that I have trouble with. When you get home, be distracted for maybe half an hr. After that, get to work! Don't goof off and then have to end up doing homework when you're supposed to be sleeping.
10. Lists:
What I like to do is make lists of what I need to do in the day. My list would be like this:
Eat breakfast []
Go to school []
Go to soccer practice []
Do homework []
Buy glue for art project []
Eat dinner []
Watch Pretty Little Liars (LOVE THAT SHOW <3) []
Study for math test []
Sleep []

What is the best smartphone that runs on Verizon Wireless?
TheRAT
I would use this to browse the web...a lot! So there would need to be a great display on it as well as good moblie web performance. I would also need a good keyboard and program to edit text (word, ect.) documents. Another thing I would need is a good video/mp3 player. I have an iPod right now so it would have to have all the functionality of that. A camera is not really essential, but I could use it. It needs to be a phone, duh. I would also need good email and AIM use of it, as well as text messenging. It would have to run on Verizon Wireless, because its the best carrier in my area. I was looking at a Blackberry Pearl, or Blackberry World, which seemed nice...but I still need to look around more. I know this is a lot to ask, but I basically need the most portable version of a computer/phone as it gets.
Answer
Despite this phone's diminutive size, critics say the Windows-based Motorola Q still sports a large, 2.4-inch display, an ample, easy-to-use keyboard, a 1.3-megapixel camera and an integrated MP3 and video player. However, there are no word processing or notepad applications, so you'll need to buy additional software if you intend to do any document editing. Battery life is also a shortcoming according to professional and user reviews. This Verizon smartphone uses the fastest data network, Verizon's EV-DO, for quick downloads.
Blackberry Curve is also amazing.
The significant advantage I would say Q holds over Curve is that, you can buy an additional software from mobile Office companies which enables you to edit documents. It also gives you stereo sound output with wireless stereo headsets. You can watch an entire movie on it and internet browsing as i told you is fastest on it because of EV-DO.
It also costs much lower than Blackberry.
Go for it dude.
