Once I am in SWAG other students will realize this and might want to achieve like me and try to be in SWAG. While in SWAG I will let younger students know that it doesn't matter what age you are to become a leader. Also, I will become an elite member of SWAG. I have a great GPA and can really speak for the students to make this school better. I could take ideas and listen to the students.
With that quote in mind, I’ve lived my life as any normal high school teenager. Although I can now say I wasn’t as normal like am now back in my Freshman year, since back then I was an uncharacteristically quiet 6’0 kid who chose his friends rather selfishly and stuck to himself, and now I’m the prototypical 6’4 jock you mostly see in the movies: athlete, plenty of friends, teachers usually reserve them to either use as role models, or to make a model out of, through their coach, so on and so forth. The thing that I say can that separates me though from falling into failure and those 100% prototypical jocks is that I’ve failed so many times, I’ve gotten used to the feeling, and I know the only thing to keep me going is the knowledge that one day success will be mine, because I’ve failed so much. In essence, failure always runs along with success. Success may be harder to reach, but it’s there once you leave failure behind.

As a freshman, you might set a goal to just make it to the next grade. Anything you can set to remind you where you are going and what you want to achieve can help you. Another thing you can benefit from is to get motivation. This can be anything or anyone that can impact you in a positive way. Having a mentor is great way to keep motivation because he or she will always be there to guide you in the right way.
During freshman year I never kept track of anything, except for friends. My grades were always down and barley manageable. I was very irresponsible and immature. I would play around too much, never thinking about the consequences. Once I became a sophomore I already finished my summer conditioning for football.
It helps students acquire the critically thinking skills needed to succeed once they are done with high school. With the Common core standards the use of common language to help students know and understand what they are learning is beneficial. Another thing that common core standards are good for, if they are implemented throughout the United States, is that no matter where a student lives and or moves to they will not be behind as everyone will have the same framework to use. The result will be an easier transition from one school to another school, academically speaking. Along with positives for the students, there are positives for the teacher’s also.
During the last decade, the Internet enriched our social lives and our civic connections. People use e-mail, on-line chat rooms and instant messages to communicate with each other. Even adolescents can use the Internet as the same as the older people. But, heavy use of the Net can bring some bad consequences to the adolescents more than what they do on adults. Brent Staples, in “What Adolescents Miss When We Let Them Grow Up in Cyberspace” (2004) pointed out the consequences of adolescents cruising the Net.

It has been especially noticed by my friends that I use the word ‘dude’ very frequently, this could be due to the fact that American phrases are being passed on more easily than before through the internet, making it easier for teenagers to pick up. A factor that I mentioned affected my speech was gender. While exploring my own language use I found that I am more comfortable around my own gender than with males, I believe this to be because of the school that I attend. As it is an all-girls school with mainly female teachers I have grown up in an environment that is mainly female dominated and I think this has affected my speech greatly. I have noticed that I tend to speak faster and use hand gestures while at school as girls tend to talk a lot and over-lap each other so it can be hard to get your point across in a conversation if you don’t make your point quickly.
You need structure to keep things in order and to keep chaos down. Structure always seems to make things move smoothly and properly. I think this will also be a good experience to try something different and new. I wanted to be different and accomplish mile high dreams and hopefully this course can help me achieve that. Not only did I choose to participate in this program for academic reasons.
