A quick note: If I answered a question and you have further questions for me, please include a URL link to your original question(s) so that I can be sure of what we're talking about. Questions that reference something we talked about a week ago that I can't quite remember are kinda hard to answer.
Welcome to my column.
I don't apologize for my answers. I speak to the audience, and in doing so I sometimes tell the audience things they don't want to hear or cant handle.
I believe in stands on principle. I believe that doing right for the sake of doing right is a good way to live. I believe in self awareness and encourage it in others. I offer the most unbiased viewpoint I have. And yes, I am only human.
Im going to tell you what I think you need to hear. You are not supposed to take what I say and follow it. You are supposed to take what I say and _think_about_it_
Oh, and feel free to ask me questions, but netspeak, ebonics, terrible grammar, and your teen angst about a crush will be ignored.

OK I am 15/f and am just entering my first year in high school. I am already nervous as it is, but I entered the IB program (International Baccalaureate), which is suppose to be faster pace. I need a challenge so I thought it would be good. I have also just got a job, I work four hours on school days twice a week, my question is... Is it possible to hold down a job in this program while still keeping up with my studies? I am a straight A student and would like to keep it that way. Any advice helps thanks!! (link)

Honestly, you won't know until you find out.
The IB program, at least at my high school, was pretty intensive. They assigned alot more work, I was in a different advanced program and had more free time than I knew what to do with because we got about a third as many things to do outside the classroom in an average week.
Eight hours a week, you might be able to do that. How fast do you absorb information? Are you one of those people who almost never studies for tests? Or do you put alot of work into making straight As? I worked, but I was also able to accomplish almost all of my schoolwork during school hours.
All you can do is see. If your grades start to slip lose the job. IB can help you get into some really good colleges, so just make sure you focus well on that.
