...mean how students manage their time in such a way that can review and study their lessons in school regularly. It becomes a habit or way of life of the student just like brushing their teeth every after eating, taking a bath every day, and other activities that they are doing. A student who developed their study habits could not sleep or go to school without studying their lessons. A student can be more intelligent and have a self – confidence in class compared to those who do not developed their study habits. A student who does not have a good study habits cannot do well in class recitation, daily quizzes, and school demonstration since they did not study and review the lessons learned. Good study habits are the tool to success. Without well developed study habits, a student cannot perform well in class, and surely, they cannot reach their ambitions in life. Nowadays, many student are engaged in computer games just like DOTA; cutting classes, watching pornography, excessive playing on their gadgets like their cell phones, iPods, computers, PSP, and other devices they have, and worst of all is that they engage in vices such as illegal drugs, gambling, and crimes and even prostitution. Other students use their intelligence in foolishness and not in good deeds. Students should know how to manage their time wisely and keep their selves away from bad traits and vices. They should serve as models to their brothers, sisters, classmates, and also to their fellow students by showing...

...The financial decisions the students make in universities can significantly affect their financial situation during and after university. These decisions can also affect other aspects of their lives, including their academic performance, health status and future employment Chen and Volpe (1998, 2002). Unlike the previous generations, the youths today are growing up in a culture of debt facilitated by expensive lifestyles and easy credit (Dugas, 2001). The youths being a major consumer market, emerging trends and fashions are some of the reasons the youths have fallen prey of financial mismanagement. A good number of the 21st generation is under influence of expensive purchase as an indicator of conformity to a particular social group or class....

...geographical analysis, and many other fields. In this study, analyzing the food consumption and expenditure patterns of students away from home can be used for future implementation of university policies that would offer financial and other assistances for the students. During 1998-1999, students in U.K. who are studying independently showed an upward shift in their expenditure pattern on food, bills, and other household expenses. This increase in the students’ expenditure is mostly because of inflation (Callender, 2000). According to Callender (2000), 10% of these students said that they thought about dropping because of financial difficulties while three out of five students who are studying away from home thought that financial difficulties have negative effects on their studies. However, 86% of these students still believe that going to the university would benefit them financially in the long run With this in mind, students will most likely to perform better in school if they can get some help regarding their financial difficulties. And since these students are away from their families, they resort in foods that are ready-to-eat and easy-to-cook meals which also add to their expenses and can have certain nutritional implication on them. Palma (2002) said that more and more Filipinos eat less at home. Majority of these people includes working mothers, drivers, and students. According to her, five out of ten Filipinos eat at fast food chains, three to fine dining restaurants, and...

ABSTRACT II. INTRODUCTION III. BODY A. Definition of Part- Time Job B. Possible Causes of Part Time Jobs in College C. Effects of Part Time Work in College D. Advantages and Disadvantages IV. CONCLUSION Abstract Most likely, every student transcends their limitations nowadays. They juggle time in working, education, and social life. For what reason that is, well, they do this in order to be able to pay up for education expenses. Some others just do this to earn a little extra spending money, for them to be able to buy something which they want to avail without them begging their parents for it. Basically, part time work is their only choice to get that money they need if they do not have student loans offered at their university. Some students need to pay up for rent, tuition, and etc. Working part time gives them the money and the thought of realizing how important it is. They are also provided with the thought of handling their responsibilities very well if they work part time during college days. Indeed, working while studying can be tough to handle. It forces you to manage your time and your responsibilities. Sometimes, it makes you choose between the two. Students today tend to sacrifice...

...CHAPTER I Introduction It seems to be a "coming of age thing" when a student goes to teenage life and encounters vices such as drinking and smoking is very rampant nowadays. Such vices cannot be ignored anymore as to the more students seem to be detaching from their spare time or even they intend to cut classes just for this so called vices, they seem to be enjoying freedom too much. A student may be influenced to be involved in any of the stated variables. High School is far different from being a college student. A person will have a new life when one goes to college. New environment which one has to adapt, new set of friends which one have to treat nice, and new subjects or topics that one has to study based on what course you will get. Although drinking, smoking, and drug-use for some usually result in adverse health consequences, there are some perceived benefits or advantages of these behaviors particularly from the point of view of the adolescents and youths. Adolescents may view drinking and smoking as privileges of adults and may want to engage in them to feel grown up and to present themselves as adults to others. Some of the reasons given are: the availability of cigarettes at home, parents being model of smoking and drinking behavior and consequently parents lack the credibility as advocates for non-smoking or non-drinking.(Aroyo 2001) Smoking and drinking are two of the most important risk factors explaining early mortality, accounting for an estimated...

...Sociology 101 XXXXXX How I Handle Role Conflicts and Role Strains Life has never been easy since my family and I moved here from the Philippines. I practically left my very easy and comfortable life there. Before, I'm just a plain college student, asking my allowance from mom, dropped off to school by dad and my brother even helped me with my school works. But everything changed when we lived here. I need to stop schooling and to sustain our everyday living; all of us need to work. With that situation, I don’t get to see them a lot often because we don’t have the same days off. I’m always left alone at home when they’re at work and at the early age of 18, I’ve already learned to be independent. I’m a working student and the roles I portray are difficult. They may be stressful and have conflict sometimes but I’m making ways to make it all easy for me. I work at a Filipino fast food 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I need to wake up at 5:00AM just to be ready for work. It’s always busy at the store and it makes me very tired when I get off. But I still need to prepare for school. I need to do my home works for my two evening class. I really need to cope up with all of those school works because I don’t want to fail any of my classes. To tell you honestly, being a working student is such a strain for me and most of the people who are sharing the same situation as mine. Actually, before I entered school, I’ve already asked one of my coworkers to give me a tip on how to deal with working...

...to find out what actually the soldiers getting for their total compensation. The U.S. Army was established over 200 years and increased its size since then. The U.S. Army was founded on 14 June 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of riflemen to serve the United Colonies for one year. Active duty soldiers and activated Army Reserve soldiers earn Army basic pay. Basic pay is the soldiers’ base salary as a soldier on active duty and it counts only as part of your total income.

...there is disagreement over how best to measure SES, most studies indicate that children from low SES families do not perform as well as they potentially could at school compared to children from high SES families (Graetz, 1995). Most studies, however, compare students from across all SES backgrounds to reach the conclusion that low SES adversely affects a range of educational outcomes. Another important dimension, however, is the factors that may influence educational outcomes within particular SES bands. This paper presents data on the educational performance of children from financially disadvantaged backgrounds and examines its variation as affected by traditional measures of SES as well as by a range of other family, individual and contextual factors. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The purpose of this study is to know the problems encountered by the Grade Seven students of Dona Aurora National High School and the effects of these problems on their academic performance in school. More specifically, the investigation seeks to answer the following questions: 1. Do the following problem areas affect the academic performance of the students? a. Family b. Academics c. Study habits d. Social relationship e. Finance f. Health 2. How do these areas rank according to the number of frequencies of the specific problems under each area as indicated or expressed by the students? 3. Do these problems affect the grades of the students? HYPOTHESES The following...

Boston College. < http://oxrep.oxfordjournals.org.proxy.bc.edu//cgi/reprint/22/4/457>. The authors of the source found in a distinguished academic journal performed research on work-life balance and its effects on productivity. An organizational point of view is offered. Since most college teams are considered organizations, the source is applicable to the business side of the conflicts student athletes’ experience. The data that is collected and analyzed is from international firms. This perspective provides insight into how work-life balance affects more than the athletes, but the organizations they represent. 2. Bowen, G. William; Shulman, James L. 2001. The game of life: college sports and educational values. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. The source argues that society has developed college athletics into a marketable organization. This argument translates suggests that student athletes can be viewed as employees who have work-life balance conflicts. Their work is associated with their athletic development, and their life is the activities engaged in as students. It argues, agreeing with the Sperber source, that student athletes are more entertainers than students. They are used to earn the college revenue from fan attendance and increased admission applications due to the college’s athletic glory. The source also defends...
