Things to do to become potential College Students/Athletes

1. Maintain 2.8 or better G.P.A in high school in your core classes. Math, Social Studies, English, Science.
2. At the end of each semester after your first semester of High school, check your semester grades and get a print out from the counseling office of NCAA eligibility and HS transcript.
3. Any core grades that are failed in the first two years of High school have to be made up before the seventh semester or beginning of 12 grade year. This would mean the summer before your senior year or earlier.
4. Start filling out recruiting questionnaires at the end of your Freshman year. Go to the athletics website of the school you want to attend, and look for the recruiting questionnaire under that sport. Make sure that you go to at least one  sports camp of the schools you want to attend so that you can meet coaches and get on their radar.
5. Understand the “sliding scale” rule for NCAA eligibility.
6. Be aware that even though an athlete has met the athletic requirements of the NCAA, that he or she has to meet the academic requirements of the college or university. The G.P.A and TEST SCORE  doesn’t mean anything on the sliding scale if the student cant get accepted by the school.
7. At the end of each semester, go to your counseling office and get your updates on grades and NCAA eligibility. Check for revisions and changes in the NCAA sliding scale rule.
8. Take the SAT and ACT before your Junior year. Take the tests your sophomore year. It’s worth the money. Take as many of the paid prep courses. It’s worth the money. The more quality info that you can put on a college application or on a questionnaire, the more attractive you look to schools.
9. Even if you haven’t heard from any colleges by the end of your by the end of your junior year, apply to the schools your want to go to, and find out who the recruiting coordinator is for that sport and email them your highlight films to get their interest in you.
10. Be prepared for a long ride full of a lot of Highs and Lows. In the end you are a student first, so make the grades and it will be easier to play the sport.

3-16-18 History of Films Assignment# 4

• Pursuit Of Happyness
• 
  
• The True Story That Inspired the Movie
• 
  
• Right before he started the internship at Dean Witter, Chris Gardner's girlfriend disappeared and took their son with her. Mr. Gardner's efforts to find his son were fruitless. Dean Witter paid its interns $1000 a month. With that money, Mr. Gardner was able to rent a room in a boarding house. Therefore, when he had to prepare for the broker's exam, Chris Gardner had a secure place to sleep and a quiet place to study. In addition, he didn't have to take care of a young child.
• 
  
• Mr. Gardner did very well on the broker's exam and was hired by Dean Witter. At that point he had a choice. He could work for an established broker in the office at a salary large enough to support himself at a reasonable level. Any prospective clients developed with his telephone calls would be referred to his employer. Perhaps Mr. Gardner would be allowed to take over a few small deals. Working for an established broker would give him more money right away, but he would have to put off building his own set of clients. The alternative was for Mr. Gardner to work on his own from the beginning, using the telephone to build his business. This would give him less money for the first year or two (only about $1200 a month). However, if things went well, in a year or two, or three, he would make more money from his own set of clients than he would have made had he started out working for an established broker. In addition, if Mr. Gardner tried to build his own set of clients from nothing, his success would depend entirely on his own efforts. Mr. Gardner chose to work on his own and make very little money right away with the hope of making a lot more money in a few years.
• 
  
• One Friday night, several weeks after Mr. Gardner had started working as a broker trying to build up his own business, his former girlfriend appeared at the boarding house. She was tired of being a single mother. (She had trained to be a dentist and was trying to get established in that field.) She gave Mr. Gardner their 19-month-old son (Little Chris), the child's stroller, a very large duffle bag filled with the child's possessions, and lots of disposable diapers. The former girlfriend told Mr. Gardner what Little Chris ate, that he was to have no sweets, and then she left. The boarding house didn't allow children. Mr. Gardner and his son were now homeless. Chris Gardner had no one he could call and ask for money. Nor did he feel that he could ask his friends for a place to stay with a 19-month-old child.
• 
  
• Over the weekend, Mr. Gardner found day care for his son ($400 a month) and they lived in a $25-a-night motel. $400 a month for day care and $750 a month for a motel would eat up almost all of his $1200 a month income. There'd be no money for food, diapers, or anything else. The only way for Mr. Gardner to afford a place to live was to start working for another broker. He'd have to postpone his plan to focus on developing his own group of clients.
• 
  
• Over the next several days Mr. Gardner made a fateful decision: he and his son would be homeless for the next year or so until his own business at Dean Witter gave him enough money to rent an apartment. He would not work for someone else to put a roof over his son's head. (Since landlords usually require hefty security deposits and first and last month's rent, this meant that Mr. Gardner would have hundreds of dollars in savings while he and his son were still homeless.) Mr. Gardner made a conscious decision that he would not postpone his chance to become rich in order to care for his son, nor would he abandon his child. As a result, Mr. Gardner and Little Chris were homeless for approximately one year.
• 
  
• What does a two-year-old child need? He needs at least one parent, food, dry diapers, safety, and stability. Rich or poor doesn't mean anything to a toddler, if he has these basics. Being homeless is a risky proposition. Homeless people are more likely to be assaulted and killed than people sleeping at home in their beds. Homeless people are exposed to the elements and can become ill. Perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to Little Chris was for his father to have been seriously injured in an assault or killed. Being a parent means putting your child's interests before your own, especially when issues of safety are concerned. In deciding to be homeless rather than pursuing the slower track to success that would have provided him with enough money to put a roof over his son's head, Chris Gardner violated one of the basic obligations that a parent owes to his or her child. Fortunately, he was able to make it work and, apparently, Little Chris suffered no harm as a result.
