You see for four years teachers, parents, even previous graduates spread the hype that on the day of graduation you will have the time of your life. But when I finally woke up that morning I was overly excited. Today was the day that I had been waiting for since I was a freshman. I couldn’t wait to walk across
These students then enroll in a community college. In the article making sparks fly, Rose talks about three different student and their achievements in college. Their achievements are: Cynthia running for student government, Bobby going back to school to get an academic degree, and Elias is going back to college after he had dropped out of high school. They are acknowledge by coming to college to work on making a higher level in math, show that a woman can do the same as a man, and showing leadership. (Rose 2011) I believe these students are doing different activities to better their lives and to experience different life styles.
“Bridge Builders seeks to develop among high school students a group of future leaders who can lay aside individual and cultural differences and work for the benefit of all.” This is the mission statement for Bridge Builders which is a program that I participated in my junior year of high school, and now actively involved with my senior year. The program, without a doubt, lives up to its mission statement. During the program we participated in leadership, personal, and team building activities. The program’s methods taught me how to be a great leader in any situation, whether I was leading myself or a group. I also made life-long friendships, and I am still meeting new people at our meetings that we have during the school year.
lease provide detailed information about yourself in one, cohesive, formal essay.

I knew Jack was a man of good character soon after my first interactions with him. My first experiences with Jack were two years ago at soccer open fields and tryouts at Notre Dame. As I was entering my senior season with the team, Jack was starting his freshman year. He impressed me in his first couple weeks with the team and distinguished himself from the rest of the underclassmen as a hard worker. This first became apparent to me when, after practice, while the rest of the freshman were in a hurry to kick off their cleats and head home, Jack stayed to help with putting away water jugs and jerseys and asking what other things he could do to help.
I spent a whole year in a public school called Leuzinger. I spent my time building up my resume and grades so that once I tried again I would hands down have no problems. So mid-year my grades came out and I had received over a 3.6 GPA to make the Honor Roll. I would constantly see Serra in the newspaper winning championships. This had something i wanted and I knew that I could obtain it as long as I applied myself properly.
WHAT THE FFA MEANS TO ME Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve. At my high school, I am frequently asked “What is the FFA?” My freshman year, all I was able to say was “The Future Farmers of America” and that seemed like an inadequate explanation, considering now I know I was basically raised upon the example of maturity and independence the National FFA Organization and its representatives exemplify, things such as strength, courage, maturity, work ethic, pride, respect, leadership, unity, success, growth for the future, and knowledge, which we all know is power, and these are the things that the FFA means to me. The FFA is a lifelong program that teaches us (the students) skills for our future
Allison Perrymond Archer ASC 101 29 November 2011 I made it through my first semester The first year of college can be a new and exciting journey for many students. Students can also take on new experiences in their first year of college; it can also come with bumps along the way. As a student he or she must find a way to balance their new life as a college student and their transitions. There will be difficulty transitioning such as adapting to new the new environment, trying to make new friends and difficulty with class work. Adjusting to an environment that you’re not used to can be too much for some students.
9-14-13 First Year There are many momentous moments in a young person’s life. Most teenagers look forward to getting their license, first car, first date, and more importantly graduating high school. Each and every one of these moments will impact an individual in a different way, whether it be for better or for worse. Many students upon graduating high school don’t know what to expect. Entering college can be one of the scariest, yet liberating experiences of a young adult’s life.
Just think about all that hard work you have done throughout the last three years; taking test, completing projects, and preparing yourself for college. Many colleges require a list of all the classes you took your senior year, even the levels of those courses. By looking at this list they will determine what kind of students you are and if you decided to slack off. Senior year is just another year to strengthen your knowledge and learning skills, to prepare for all the challenges ahead. A successful senior year can lead you to a better path to a successful future.
