I can’t really remember how I felt towards the end of that school year, but one thing I know for sure is I couldn’t wait to take on high school with all my childhood classmates by my side. I walked through the doors of Happy Mountain High School not knowing what to expect, but I was prepared to have an amazing time in the years to come. During my high school career, I have met so many people who I know I can rely on. If there is one thing I know I will carry with me for the rest of my life, it is that having friends by your side will help you make the best of any situation you are going through. In my years in high school, I have realized I enjoy many things that I never knew I would, such as; running track, participating in school events, and working hard in all my
Schooling life is a important part to all of the teenagers. Since they start their school life, every day they meet their classmates and teachers more than their parents. The “A” students have good performance in all of the test, teachers love them. But they don't have friends in school nor clubs. Isn't it a big problem we have to worried about?
In most cases, preps are the students of the school who only wear high dollar clothing, fix their hair just perfect every day, and prance around thinking they are better then the rest of the student body. They won’t associate with anybody outside of their clique, and hardly ever allow anyone in theirs’. Preps are usually very popular in their schools, and have many “friends”. They generally try to get into every club their school offers and
North Farmington High School Turner Lotts 12/7/11 4th The reason I love being a student at North Farmington High School is because of the people that attend school. I used to go to Farmington High School my underclassmen years, then I transferred to North for my junior and senior year. There is a huge difference between the two high schools, and it’s unimaginable. The people at North are different then anyone in the world because, their acceptance of everyone, and the happiness students and staff radiate. North was probably one of the best schools I could have ever transferred to because there acceptance of everyone is outstanding.
The Ultimate Decision Jazmin N. Haskett Eng 121: English Composition I Joyce Pierce-Yamahata 10/15/12 The Ultimate Decision October 27, 2011 was one of the most exciting days of my life. I completed a six month therapeutic community drug program. I was extremely happy that Tuesday morning, but when I stepped through the doors of a halfway house with no clue of how I was going to re-integrate back into society a chill went down my spine. I was broke and my self-esteem was in the basement. Two weeks later, I decided that in order for me to make “good” money, upgrade my skills, and begin a career; I needed to return to college.
When I was first asked this question, it intrigued me. I have always loved learning about everything and reading, so seeing people who have taken years off from school fathoms me. Because I love learning, I have always wanted to obtain my degree for personal development as well as having a higher education underneath my belt. I come from a low-income family, so they could not afford to send me to college when I graduated from high school. Besides my father, who passed away when I was young, if I complete my degree I would be the only one in my family to have a college degree.
Everyone always says “High School is the best years of your life.” And to me that sounds like a pretty big statement to live up to. How is High school supposed to be this amazing time when people don’t want to get involved in anything, because everything is boring, or lame, or none of our friends are going? If you elect me as class president, I volunteer myself as one of these leaders, to guide you to success and an amazing sophomore year. And lastly, as your sophomore class president, I would just like to say, this is high school. We only have four years here - and think about how quickly our first year has already
It was very plain and simple. Students get real use to think technique because throughout high school it was so repetitive and we all got very comfortable with it. Although the 5 paragraph format limits our ideas and we don’t get to expand on our topics because we are so stuck on the 3 ideas and we just to those instead of expanding our thinking. By limiting the amount of ideas we chose we think we are choosing the 3 main points but there could be a possibility that the other ideas were just as important but we don’t have enough room for them. It did help us stay on track and to consistently talk about the topic instead of rambling off about irrelevant ideas.
The number of students and funding allows public schools to have facilities (such as a soccer field or pool) and/or purchase equipment, such as laboratory equipment and technology that would be prohibitive for most homeschool families. The number of students and funding often allows public schools, particularly at the high school level, to offer an array of advanced classes in the arts, technology studies, and the sciences, any and all of which might be difficult to conduct for homeschooling parents who do not happen to have specialized training. Public schools often offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities, ranging from intramural sports to a range of clubs and other opportunities. In public high schools, each student has six or more teachers, each an expert on one particular subject. When a student goes to public school, he can learn about the essential subjects from people who really know what they're talking about.
Though it was overwhelming, when classes started I had a chance to make actual connections with people and make new friends. Shockingly, some of the best friends I have made in college aren’t even in my classes, but are people who live on my floor and have similar interests, hobbies, and morals as me. Comparing now the friends I have made in high school to the friends I have made in college, I could and would leave many of my high school friends behind. The friends I have made in college support me and have changed me for the better. High school is, and always will
