Reading Title: High school is valuable for many reasons, but primarily, this is the last low-stakes time in a person’s life when they can learn, explore, and even dabble in a variety of subjects and activities, prior to stepping into the real world. In high school, students can attempt an activity or a subject and determine that it isn’t their favorite; however, once a student is pursuing a major in college or professional career, deciding the topic or industry is no longer of interest has greater consequences.

Example of strategy: There is another text that i read that discusses how high school provides different opportunities to experience important things.

Reading : While not every student is going to be a valedictorian or go to an Ivy League school, it’s still important that each student does the best they can throughout high school for one very simple reason: options. Whether you want to go to med school and become a brain surgeon or go to fashion school and start your own clothing line, the better you do in high school, the more options and opportunities you’ll have when it comes to both college and a career. The last thing you want is for certain opportunities to be closed off to you because you slacked off in high school and didn’t put your best foot forward. This is exactly why it’s important to try your best in every class, even if it isn’t your favorite subject or related to your future long-term career goals.

Example of strategy: High School has important benefits even if you do not intend on going to college including opening doors that might otherwise be closed.

Reading : Believe it or not, your high school teachers can be very important to your future, both for getting into college and beyond. Forming a positive relationship with your teachers is your first foray into networking, which will be increasingly important in college and in the professional world. In high school, your teachers do more than grade papers; they write college recommendation letters, nominate students for scholarships, and suggest valuable opportunities for high performers.

Reading : Making the most of your time in high school doesn’t just mean getting good grades, but that is one part of it. As we’ve mentioned, of course, you want to put your best foot forward and attempt to get the best grades you can, but equally as important is that you explore the subjects and activities that may be of interest to you.

Example of strategy: High School is an opportunity to get involved in student government or on a sports team. .

The coup attempt is bad news for Turkey's democracy

Since coming to power in 2003, Erdogan has run the country with an increasingly authoritarian grip, cracking down on dissent as well as freedoms of expression, assembly, association and media. Initially a reformist seeking European Union accession, after winning electoral victories in 2007 and 2011 on a platform of economic good governance, Erdogan has turned conservative and authoritarian.

If part of Erdogan’s electoral success has been through positive economic performance, his other, more nefarious strategy has been demonizing groups that are unlikely to vote for him. Erdogan achieves electoral victories through violent crackdowns on such demographic blocs as Gezi Park protesters, leftists and liberals, secularists, social democrats, liberal Alevi Muslims and Kurds.
