I took the regents for the third time in January 2011 and again, I didn’t pass. I continued taking the Algebra II Trigonometry class after school, and again took the regents in June of 2011. I passed all my other regents tests including Geometry that month and when I got my results for the Algebra II Trigonometry Regents, I started crying. I finally passed. I was so happy that I didn’t have to worry about the stress of this topic anymore.

As a freshman, I understood that the rigors of taking 18hrs credit hours of class work would be challenging. I thought I could handle the workload and I still believe that I could have, except that both my paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother become very ill while I attended Richmond. As my parents first born child, I was extremely close to my grandparents. I became emotionally distraught concerning their conditions and it began to affect my ability to focus on my studies. They each have since passed with cancer, nearly 8 months
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.

Alexis Joyner September 16, 2013 ENG 099-B5 Professor Donohue Literacy Narrative Essay #2 During high school, there's a lot of occurrences where you have to write essays. For instance, in my school we had regents in various subjects where the task was to write essays on various topics. There was also summer readings where we were required to read a certain amount of books and write essays on what the book was about. In class, mostly English and History, we practiced writing essays on what we learned. Basically it was important to write essays in high school.
If you don’t do the work, how do you expect to get good grades? Study at least 30 minutes a day, and twice on the subject you’re having a hard time in. Repeating a grade is one of the most embarrassing things in high school. Taking the same class you took previously, but with younger students. Of course you’re going to get teased, picked on, and called stupid.

Dutton-5th AP Lang November 6, 2013 Entering the Conversation Essay The “American High School” was originally intended for students who wanted to further educate themselves. That was until Horace Mann decided to modernize the education system by introducing standardized textbooks, extending the school year from the original two to three month periods to ten months out of the year, and finally making attendance for school mandatory. The main focus point on educating American students in high schools has sadly altered throughout the years into a civilian-preparation center. Teaching them how to sit quietly for numerous hours out of the day trying to retain information, while their enjoyment for their courses is slowly dying. Students are also maturing much earlier than when the education system was first created, therefore keeping them in
