My husband is a social worker. When he received his Bachelor's in Social Work, he was able to find a job as a group counselor at a local support center. Once he completes his Master's Degree, he can work as an individual counselor. You can be a LCSW- Licensed Clinical Social Worker which you take a test for after your Master's. You will be supervised (Work with a clinical supervisor once a week for a certain number of hours) to be allowed to take this exam and get this license. You could also become licensed to be a Family Counselor. I also have a friend who is a Case Manager and works with families in need and their children.

Nervous about high school?

Don't worry. High school is nothing like middle school. I felt the same way when I was coming to high school. I thought the seniors would pick on the freshmen, like how the 8th graders would pick on the 6th graders in middle school. But it's not like that at all. High school is where kids are more mature and focus on learning. It's a much more enjoyable time than middle school. the first day of high school is so much fun. You walk into a huge building, and it feels weird, and you meet new people. The first week of high school is really fun. After the first week, you're going to start getting used to your high school, and have an easier time making new friends from the other feeder middle schools, and the upperclassmen.

Eventually, I suggest getting involved in sports, clubs, etc. It will help you with your self-esteem and confidence, and help you make friends. But no matter what, make sure your school work is your first priority. You must do your classwork, homework, and study at home. if you don't you can fall behind, and high school is very important, especially if you're looking at going to college. If you're ever struggling with something you're learning in class, make sure you tell your teacher. Your teacher teaches tons of students in a day, and they don't have time to come to each student. It's your job to tell your teacher you need help. If you just let it go, your teacher wont care, and let you fail. But if you talk to your teacher when you're struggling, he or she will be happy to help you, and will care. Even if a teacher you have seems mean or scary, don't be afraid to ask them for help because their job is to help you, and it's going to benefit your grades. I'm pretty sure every high schools has honors and AP classes for their students. Since you're a 9th grader, I suggest taking honors classes this year if you haven't already signed up for them, and take one or two AP classes by the time you reach your 10th grade year. if you don't think you'll be able to handle the honors classes this year, that's fine. Just wait until 10th grade to start taking them, and start taking AP in 11th or 12th grade. But always remember to put academics before sports, and electronics. Another thing I'm sure every high school has is a National Honors Society. If you're ever struggling in a certain class, they have student tutors available for you. When mid-terms and final exams come around. Always make sure you spend that time towards studying because they're not your ordinary test. They're hard, and really benefit your grade. I know another thing all high schools have are those standardized tests given to every high school in the state. In my state, (Maryland), it's called the "HSA," which stands for "High School Assessment." they're not super hard or anything, but always get practice when that comes around, because your graduation depends on those standardized tests. Also, by the time you finish Algebra II, if you haven't already, I suggest taking the SAT. The SAT covers a lot of geometry and Algebra II, so if you take the SAT near the end of the school year the year you take Algebra II, it will still be fresh in your mind. If you already took Algebra II, (I know some districts have 8th graders that take it, but the highest my district has for 8th graders in math is Geometry). But anyways, if you have already taken it, I suggest taking the SAT in the fall.

Here's what to know about high school socially. be open to all different kids of people. Don't only be friends with people like you, go meet people who are different than you. If you're open, you'll have a better social life in high school. Make sure you never fall under peer pressure. Don't ever do drugs, smoke cigarettes, chew tobacco, drink alcohol, etc. In the end, it'll just bite you in the a$$ from what I've seen of kids who do those things. Make sure your friends are clean and pure. If any of your fiends ever start doing any of those things, try to help them get out of it as much as you can.

But overall, you shouldn't be nervous. I promise you'll be completely fine, and you're going to have a great time. Enjoy high school!

How are schools ran in Greece?

Schools in Greece are run under the National Ministry of Education and Religion.The Greek Constitution stipulates that all children in Greece be educated free of charge. Attendance is compulsory until age 16.

Basic curriculum for primary school (demotiko) includes Math, Sciences, Social Studies, Modern Greek, Writing, Physical Education, Orthodox Religion, geography, history, and starting in 4th or 5th grade a foreign language.

In Junior High (gymnasio) students take a total of 14 or 15 courses per week. These include Modern Greek Grammar, French, English, Ancient Greek, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Geography, Religion, Physical Education, Literature, History, Music, Art.

In 10th grade the children decide between a track of courses.

One track is language and literature. Another is science and math. These are for children who plan to attend university.

The third is oriented to practical education of children who do not plan on going to university.

The Greek system is based upon learning by memorization. Children are not to think or innovate but parrot information from the textbooks. Each 8th grader in Greece has the same textbooks and usually is on the same lesson as every other 8th grader on the same day.

Control of curriculum come from the Ministry. There is no local input. Schools are administered at the state or provincial level.

Although the Constitution stipulates a free education, many, if not most, children study outside of school through a loose system private tutors (frontesteria). Many parents believe that without the tutorage the children will not progress. The price per hour per subject is between 12 to 15 Euros ($15.50 - $19.50 US). This can be very costly. Some children take 5 or 6 extra sessions per week.
