INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Be respectful to your teachers as well as your peers. Don't talk back to a teacher, just listen to them and understand that they are trying to help you, even if seems otherwise. Avoid calling your classmates names, teasing them, or spreading gossip and rumors. For example, if a group of your peers is making fun of the way someone dresses, don't join in with jokes. Instead, walk away or say something like, "Lay off, man. She's got her own sense of style." If a teacher pulls you aside to discuss your behavior, listen carefully to what they have to say. Don't roll your eyes or get defensive, just say "I understand, Mr. Roberts. It won't happen again," or something similar. You should admit when you have done something wrong, and tell the truth rather than lying. Not only are you likely to be caught in a lie, but then your teachers and parents won't trust you moving forward. Own up to your mistakes and find a way to fix them. Never, ever cheat. You won't learn what you are supposed to, and you'll get in a ton of trouble when you get caught. If you are struggling to the point where you are tempted to cheat, talk to the teacher or a tutor. Explain to them that you don't understand the subject at all. Many kids get in trouble for using curse words or speaking inappropriately. Avoid talking like that at school or in front of teachers and parents. Think of other ways to express yourself in a mature manner. For example, if a teacher assigns a 3-page paper, don't say "This is BS! What a waste of time." Instead, keep your thoughts to yourself or say something like "Wow, it's going to be a long night." Fighting will certainly get you in trouble at school, so you need to avoid it at all costs. If someone tries to pick a fight with you, simply laugh it off or walk away. It can be difficult to control your emotions in the moment, but it's a far better solution than wailing on someone and getting suspended. If you feel like the situation is getting out of control, talk to a teacher or counselor. For example, if someone says something rude to you, respond with "Hey, man, that was rude. Don't talk to me like that. Look out for your classmates. If you notice someone getting bullied, you could tell the bullies to stop or to knock if off. . Just because your peers think something is a good idea doesn't mean it actually is. Think the situation through and trust your gut instinct. If you have a feeling you could get into trouble for doing something, don't do it. Say your friends want to steal a rival school's mascot costume. Rather than going along with the plan, say "Nah, I don't want to get in trouble. I'll see you guys later," and walk away.

SUMMARY: Show respect. Be honest. Use appropriate language. Avoid fights. Stand up to peer pressure

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Are you trying to start a full-fledged career, or are you more interested in getting a short-term entry level job and seeing how things go? While there are thousands of crew positions available in Alaska during the summer and demand for hard-working people is high, you don't have a chance of getting hired if you can't set aside significant time in your schedule. Typically you will need a minimum of two months clear to land an entry level job in Alaska. Most entry-level jobs for those with little or no experience are on salmon boats called trollers, gill netters, and purse seiners. The salmon season begins in May and extends into the fall. The longer your availability is within this window, the more likely it is that you will find a job. All jobs in the Alaskan fishing industry, and especially entry level jobs, are strenuous and grueling. You will be placing yourself in a highly stressful and demanding environment. A fishing boat is not a place where you can work yourself into shape. You'll need to be fit in advance. When getting in shape for a fishing job, it is best to focus on building up functional strength. Being able to run ten miles or bench press 250 pounds won't do you as much good working 18 hour days on a fishing boat as core stability and overall functionality. Understand that your body won't be the only thing that will be tired at the end of an 18-hour day. Your mind will be worn out and your emotions frayed. As is frequently illustrated on TV shows that deal with the Alaskan fishing industry, the captain and rest of the crew can be particularly hard on green hands. Learn to deal with stress accordingly. Different people prepare themselves in different ways mentally and emotionally. Find a way that works for you. Focus on developing both a learning attitude and a thick skin when it comes to criticism. As the old saying goes, sometimes it takes money to make money. As you'll discover on your job search, it can be very difficult to land a guaranteed job in advance prior to going to Alaska. Many job seekers have to move to a fishing hub first, and look for a job in person. You'll need to have the financial wherewithal to secure yourself housing and cover basic expenses if you opt for this route. Even if you don't move to Alaska without a job, planning to get a job in Alaska could compromise your ability to take a local job, possibly leaving you stuck at home without a summer job at all. Don't put all your eggs into one basket unless you can afford to have them broken.

SUMMARY: Establish your objectives and set your schedule accordingly. Build muscle and endurance. Develop mental and emotional strength. Assess your financial situation.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place 6 catfish filets (6-8 oz.) of fish in the basket. Combine 1/3 cup of lemon juice, 3 tbsp. of melted butter, and 1 tbsp. of lemon pepper seasoning together in a small bowl. Use a brush to cover the fillets with the mixture. Close the cover. The fish should flake on each side if you touch it with a fork. Continue to baste the fish while it's cooking. Serve this grilled catfish with mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables.

SUMMARY: Coat a basket with cooking spray. Place the fish in the coated grilling basket. Combine the lemon juice, butter, and lemon pepper seasoning together. Brush the fillets with the butter mixture. Place the basket on your grill. Grill the fish over medium coals over 300-400F (148-204C) heat for about 6-8 minutes on each side. Serve.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This part of the taming process involves both of your hands, so it will be easier to remove your budgie from their cage. You can choose a neutral room that he has become used to, such as the bathroom, or they can stay in the same room as their cage. Teaching your budgie to step up will be easier to do when you are sitting down. Sit down slowly and gently so as not to startle your budgie or cause them to fly off your finger. Use gentle pressure against their chest just as you did when you initially taught your budgie how to step onto your index finger. Push up against their chest as you say 'step up.' Keep doing this until your budgie steps up onto your finger. Consider making this a daily activity. Soon it will become a habit for your budgie. Your budgie may not be familiar with this verbal cue, so it may take a few tries before they understand that they should step up onto your other index finger. Give him a small treat each time he steps up. As with the other aspects of the taming process, you should practice this several times a day in short sessions (10-15 minutes). Stepping up usually comes naturally to budgies, so it probably won't take very long for them to learn how to do this on your index fingers.

SUMMARY:
Have your budgie step onto one of your index fingers. Sit down in a chair, on the floor, or on a bed. Place the index finger of your other hand on your budgie's chest, just above their feet. Practice this until they can step up onto your other index finger without you having to push on their chest.
