According to USA Today, the senior year of high school is not the year to let things slide and become a lazy, non-attendee of secondary school. <o:p></o:p>In the past, when you received the big, thick envelope in January or February, it meant you were accepted into the &lsquo;university of your choice' and you could suddenly relax and celebrate. No longer did you have to stay up late studying and worrying about essays. Your SAT scores were locked in and you had nothing to worry about. The rest of the semester was a breeze. Many students chose to stop attending classes on a frequent basis, started partying late into the night, did something lewd and illegal which was noted on their academic file and the list goes on. It was standard procedure. <o:p></o:p>However, now the tables are turned and that sort of behaviour could have your acceptance revoked. Your university of choice could have too many enrolees and too many wonderful choices to make, that it cannot be bothered by the students who slide during the final semester. <span style=""> </span>So how do you or your guidance counsellor and parents know when this is happening and trouble is about to ensue? Consider the following:</p> <ul style="list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:disc;width:98%;color:#434343;" style="list-style-position: inside; list-style-type: disc; width: 98%; color: rgb(67, 67, 67);"> <li>A drop in grade for one or more courses</li> <li>A decline in overall GPA</li> <li>Dropping academic courses</li> <li>Abandoning extracurricular activities such as drama, music or sports</li> <li>Disciplinary action for behavioural issues</li> <li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span style=""><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span>Cheating or plagiarism</li> <li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span style=""><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></span>Increased absences or tardiness</li> <li>Suspension for drug or alcohol us</li> </ul><br class="spacer" /> <br class="spacer" /> <br class="spacer" /> <br class="spacer" /> <br class="spacer" /> If you can plead guilty to any of the above, then above all else, get back into the school, talk to the principals and guidance counsellors and make amends. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"> <meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12"> </meta> </meta> </meta> </meta> </meta> </meta> </meta> </meta>
