Members Ashlee Posted March 28, 2009 Members Share Posted March 28, 2009 Many students relied heavily on Sparknotes. It saved our lives. First semester anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 28, 2009 Members Share Posted March 28, 2009 I've never heard of Sparknotes. Are they similar to Cliff notes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ashlee Posted March 28, 2009 Members Share Posted March 28, 2009 yes. and for a high school student who didn't have time to read the selection, they are a life saver. Also, when you DID read the selection, but didn't understand it, they help clarify things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Very interesting. I never had that tough of classes in high school and wouldn't have put too much effort into them if I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ashlee Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 Any time we were assigned a reading assignment, we would have a quiz over it. So understanding what you read was good. And I remember the other book, Canterbury Tales. We only read part of it, and we might have had another book, but that's all I remember.

Members John81 Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 I wasn't diligent in my studies at all when in high school. :sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ashlee Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'm not really all that diligent either. I know I should be, but I can't seem to buckle down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 29, 2009 Members Share Posted March 29, 2009 When I was in high school I was just there because I had to be. I paid enough attention to get by and excelled on the rare occasion when something caught my attention and I actually applied myself. Until my senior year school seemed like a waste. I figured after I graduated I'd either go into construction like my dad or work in the factory where my mom worked. However, during my senior year there was a recession and both areas of work, along with most others around here, were severely hit. It wasn't until some years late when I went to university that I actually applied myself (to an extent) and found enjoyment in going to school and learning.

Members Ashlee Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 School may seem like a waste of time for me, but I know it is a necessary waste. I COULD have been out of school at midterm, but I'm only 17 still, so I can't get a nice job for awhile. :roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 I remember 17. I thought I knew it all and was ready for anything. Not even close! :loco I'm glad you don't have that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ashlee Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 If I knew it all, then what fun would life be? The only thing that would keep perfection from being boring would be being close to God. The world needs a little mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 I was still lost when I was 17. :sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ashlee Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 Well, when I turned 17 I was as well. Praise God that less than 2 months after turning 17, I was saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 I was saved just a couple weeks after I turned 18. :smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
