 Advice from students and SAT scandal 1 and buried treasure at the bottom of the sea,those are stories coming here way on students.I'm CA.Let's go.

 
First up,today.We are talking about a speech from President Obama that is aimed directly at students.This's the President's third annual back to school speech.
 
 
This year he urged students to quote explore and every once in a while quote to  color outside the lines.President Obama made this year's speech on the at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School.It was broadcast on the Internet.One of the big theme was that education and learning 2 don't stop after high school and he offered some suggestions about what students can focus on this year.
So I want all of you,who are listening as well as everybody here in Banneker. I want  you to make the most year ahead of it. I want to you to think of this time as one in which you are just loading up with  information and skills and your trying new things,your practicing,your holding, all those things you are gonna need to do great things when you get out of school.Your country is depending  on you so set your sites high.Have a great school year.Let's get to work.
 
 
All right.It's the advice from the President.It's another to hear from students like yourselves.We are talking about a segment,we called Student Views.This passed summer,we talked with some rising juniors and seniors at the leadership unplugged program.it was held here in Atlanta and we asked for their words of wisdom for anybody who just starting out high school.Here are some words they have to say.
I would tell in coming high school freshmen 3,they'd better need to stay focused and they need to have a plan where they are going and how to going to get there because now there are strenuous 4 requirements for getting into a college and for,I guess,standing out being amazing,in a sense.
 
 
I know it may seem as if once you get into high school,it's totally intimidating 5. What you want is to just get out and experience college life.But I really recommend freshmen,take your time,enjoy your four years because it really go by quickly and you really start to see and experience ,if you don't stop and look around,smell the roses,as they say.
Just be yourself at school.Don't try to fit in with the in crowd,you know tough kids.Do what you have done your whole life and be comfortable with yourself,be confident.
 
 
It's never too early to start looking at a college.A lot colleges take scholarships and applications presented your sophomore 6 year so if you already know what school you are interested in,you can  start to looking for those in your freshmen year.
Even though high school seems like a big place.It is tons of kids there.Like way,older than you,Don't give freak out.You will be up there soon.Don't get freaked down like the flow with it.It will all work out.Don't worry.
 
 
Wll,don't get freaked out.We have a piece of advice from police.That is Don't cheat on the,SAT This is some students from high school in Long Island did just that.7 people have now been arrested.Sam Eshaghoff,whom you see here,plus six other students,who accused of hiring Eshaghoffto to take the SAT for them.
 
 
Who are the victims in this instance 7?The victims are, their fellow students,  the kids who don't cheat,the kids who took the SAT per course,the kids who study,the kids who do their homework,the kids who play by the rules.
 
 
The charge against Eshaghoff,the accused test-taker are serious. Listen to this.First degree scheme to defraud,first degree falsifying business records,second degree criminal impersonation.His lawyer says he is not guilty.The six students accused of paying him thousands of dollars to impersonate them and take the tests have been charged with less serious misdemeanors.
 
 
But what's unclear is what happen to them if they are found guilty.Whether the colleges that some of the students have already gotten into are going to allow them to stay.
 
 
Really significant 8 stories here in CNN Student News,there are so many different types of punishments for cheating.If someone is found guilty in doing with a major exam like the SAT,what do you think should happen?We know you gonna wanna talk about this and we set a place for you to do it.Our Blog is cnnstudent.com,who want to log 9 on to share your reactions and it shows only your first names,so if you had your class or an initial,it's won be published.The blog is first name only.
