When dancing ballet and looking for a serious job as a ballerina, school life is difficult to maintain. Most of us quit ballet or decide to get home schooled. When i was in high school quitting or getting home schooled was not an option, and i agreed with my parents 100%. Home schooling is very expensive and not graduating from high school is not the best either. Here are some ways i would maintain a normal and ballerina life.
- If you have homework due the next day go to the library during lunch to finish it. If its due for in a couple of days, do a bit everyday.
- For tests, go over your material even when you dont have a test, For example, if you learned something in science, bring it home the very same day and skim through your notes, that way when you have a test all you'll have to do is review.
- make a schedule, according to the hours of ballet you have every day, and how long you have to learn.
- Remember that you can bring homework to your ballet classes, ask your teacher if you may study... if she declines then study during your break (if you have them)
- When it comes to group projects, things may be difficult, you have to make a schedule before and finish the project the second you get it.
- For books that you have to read, i would suggest breaks, before each period(class) you have read a bit of your book
- For oral presentations, just like the 4th pointer, bring it to ballet or go over it a bit each day(1st pointer).
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!
