I am willing to give up my spare time to set a good example for my family by going to college. The only thing that annoys me the most is when you hear girls out there talking about how they could not finish high school because they were teenage mothers. A little tip is I was a teenage mother and graduated from high school. I had a son and was pregnant for my daughter while I was going to school and I graduated. I was working, taking care of my son as well as going to school.
It also holds back the kids who work hard to succeed.” Many of the people I asked agreed in some way with Casey. I also asked another girl I graduated with, Lauren Maule, who now attends Eastern Carolina University, she said that she did not believe NCLB was affective because, “No Child Left Behind serves as a way to let students who do not deserve to move on in the school system, move ahead. If you do not work during the school year and can pass a test at the end and your peers did homework every night and just cannot seem to sit through a test you do not deserve to be able to be compared to them by moving on to the next grade level.” Both Casey and Lauren were in the top ten percent of our class, and neither agrees with what has happened in high schools since 2001. Who understands the effects more then the people who experienced it? I would have to completely agree with Casey and Lauren. NCLB allows students who put forward minimal or no effort to
Overall middle school was the worst two years of my life. It was the stage of immaturity, peer pressure, confusion and overprotection. I would do anything not to go back and just skip through everything because I became who I am now in the next five years of my life. Those two years were a waste of time because we all tried to be kids who were cool and hip, now realizing what really mattered. Being
Women in Northern Uganda are constantly raped but they are never allowed to do an abortion when they became pregnant. Many of the children become homeless because they leave them in the streets (Elisabeth Schauer and Thomas Elbert). Due to these struggles in such young age, children are desperate for some identity. Groups like Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam use their past to make them join their group like they did for Ida. Psychological damage before even becoming a soldier due to their poor and unhealthy Many girls join Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam to protect themselves from economic hardships and rape but the military or any civil war groups cannot protect them from the dangers of their own country.
I excel in shool because I was thought that education was something that nobody can take away from you but when I was younger, my mom wanted mo to attend the Recognition Day in our school because I will be getting the first honors but I was playing with our family computer so they had to drag me to school. That is the reason why I made a pact with myself that I will not be achieving any honors moving forward, to this day I kept that promise and the best thing that I do while inside the classroom is being there. But that doesnt mean that I am not paying attention to my studies. My mom also thought me to open my eyes and minds to everything around me, that I shouldn’t prejudice, that all of us are people and we should give every person a chance of friendship. Anyone can approach me and talk to me about everything under the
Michelle’s Memoir This is my life through school; I went to public school all the way through seventh grade I then left North Augusta middle because I didn’t like the people there, After a few days of looking for schools my mother found the perfect school for me Victory Baptist Private School! I went to Victory for a few years all the way leading to 9th grade and it was amazing but my friend talked me into coming to North Augusta High School. At first I loved it I met the love of my life there and enjoyed every day but after two years there I decided public school was not for me I just missed to many days and so the change of schools began again! I looked forever hoping to find another school like Victory; I would have even went back there.
As I look back in my lifetime I had two bully who use to come to school and constantly pick on me but the reason why they did me like that because they was jealousy of me. I was raised by my grandparents and auntie and they made sure I had the best in life so everyday I went to school with nice clothes, shoes and my hair stayed did and the two girls who use to bully me came from a family who couldn’t provide that much for them so to make themselves feel better they pick on me almost everyday. I think that jealousy plays a big role in bully because there some children come from a family that can’t afford a lot of things so they do the best that they can. These researchers concluded that girls were at a higher rate of bullying than boys (www.bestsyndication.com). Girls are victims as well when it comes down to bully.
TIM SCOTT - How Mentoring Changed My Life January 4, 2010 Growing up in a single-parent home left me a bit disillusioned about life. My parents divorced when I was around the age of 7. By the time I entered high school, I was completely off track. My mother was working hard, trying to help me to realize that there was a brighter future, but I really couldn’t see it. So by the time I entered the ninth grade, I was flunking out of high school.
Throughout all my years of school with reading and writing, I never liked to read and write. I always put the least amount of effort into anything I could until it really mattered in high school. Making good grades was not always on the top of my list, but I would always try my best on my big
During my years living in California I took all AP classes leading up to my first year of high school. I now live in Auburn, Washington because my cousin didn’t want to come live with our grandma alone and to better myself. I still wanted to go on with on my AP class strike and that’s how I ended up in Mrs.Hardersons English Honors 10 class. I think I’m very prepared for what this class has to bring because my last teacher was like a college professor so I know a lot more things than some others. One of my challenges I
