Nothing in life is free. You’ve heard your parents say that a thousand times. Recently, you were sent a free laptop to use while attending CalPac, your free charter school. “Look mom, my free computer’s here.” Now you don’ t have to use the family computer for Facebook, checking email, and gaming.

You’ve got your free technology from your free online high school. But if your parents are right, and nothing in life is free, then you are going to have to work. Have you thought about the costs for your virtual schools gift of technology? What could this computer cost you, and more importantly, what is its worth?

Your Time

Your time is valuable. Lucky for you, your teacher’s at CalPac don’t want to waste it so they have thought out and planned intricate live lessons to help you understand each week’s unit. Not only do your teachers have engaging lessons but also they have been reaching out to you in live sessions, tutoring time and their office hours.

If your time is valuable, how are you using it? Are you reaching out to those who have the answers or are you hiding away in your bedroom afraid of the unknown? Perhaps making a weekly schedule with your Monday through Friday hour by hour daily tasks will help you manage your time and use your valuable resources.

Your Future

This free computer holds your future. Maybe after high school you are planning on going to college, trade school, or getting a job at Starbucks. If you don’t put the hours into this computer, your future will be limited.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics states “ full-time workers who get a high school diploma are 37.5% less likely to be unemployed than workers with less education, and salaries for workers with a high school diploma earn an average of $554 a week, compared to the $396 a week earned by workers without one.” If you choose to finish homeschooling online and get a diploma, you will most likely make more money than your peers who don’t.

Now you’re left wondering if CalPac, your free online high school that offers a free computer with credit recovery courses and technology based classes is going to be worth it. This resource that holds your life’s story on social media also holds your salary potential, future career, college admissions and life, somewhere underneath it’s keys.

Maybe this free charter school is going to be worth it after all. Maybe it’s time to get off the social media for a few minutes to attend that live session or get ahead in your credit recovery course, or show up to get some help. Maybe your computer is worth more than you thought.
