High School vs College October 24, 2012 Writing Skills II High School vs. College Throughout the many different schools I have attended in my life, I have had a new and great experience at each one. I have met a lot of people, some of which I am still friends with today. I have had the best experiences in my high school as well as my college career, but the schools do differ. The schools differ in socialization, lunch, and schedule. The first difference is socialization.
I was a full time student back in 97-99 and it amazes me every day how things have changed. Classes are so open ended now. I didn’t have one quiz or test this semester.

Literacy Autobiography Lauren Sachs English 101 Mr. Bell September 6, 2012 Ever since I was a little girl, I had always stared at people with special needs. It was something about their facial features, the way they walked and just overall how different they were. I would comment on their behavior as well as the way they talked.

I never really knew what being part of a team meant until I played with those girls and that is an experience I have never forgotten even today. As I got older and in high school being part of a team became more common with the DECA club, Student Council, and the Dance Team. Each of these teams are all different in their own way but they each individually taught me skills that I still use to this day.

As a student at the University of Phoenix working in teams is a big part of my school assignments each week.

The performance went off without a hitch. Everything was perfect, from start to finish. Just hearing people yell your name while you stand under those lights that hinder you from seeing anything in the house gives me such an adrenaline rush. After the show was over I felt like such a celebrity at school for the rest of the year. That’s what made my junior year so very
It was the first time I belonged to a group of like-minded people. Making friends was much easier because we had something in common from day one. I stayed involved in theater for several years. I traveled to competitions, memorized lines, worked on sets and costumes. Our public school drama club was an island of liberal arts in football country, but we were focused on getting lead roles and learning to be better actors.
