Welcome Back to School 2010-2011

Welcome Back! I hope all of you have had a great summer break. Above I will be posting sites I want each of you to become very familiar with this year. Your AP College Board test score will be determined partially, in how committed you are in preparing for the May test. Second, I will be posting instructions and weekly articles that you will be expected to read and comment on.

I would like to wish each of you a great summer! Seniors-- good luck on the next stage of your journey. I have truly enjoyed working with each of you this year.

A few things to remember as we leave class.

1. 56,000 hours is a long time doing something you do not love....... choose your careers wisely.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

2. You want to better your chances for a good retirement........ remember, always aim to save at least 18% from each paycheck--- this is before you start buying cars, houses etc.......

"Never spend your money before you have it" Thomas Jefferson.

Best to each of you
