Christian High School Research Paper

Improved Essays
“School”, a word that many young children and adults hate to hear or speak. In elementary and high school, students attend classes seven hours a day, five days a week, nine months out of the year. Going to an institution of education is a youth’s full time job. Learning becomes the only thing important in their lives and they are required to devote a large majority of their time to it. Spending almost 12 years of my life in a school, it has had a large influence on my life. All of this exposure to education has shaped me into who I am today, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.
Designed for one thing only, school’s sole purpose in a person's life is to equip students for their future. I have attended two schools throughout the 17 years of my life. Those two schools have been Muskegon Christian School and Western Michigan Christian High School. Every single one of the teachers who has instructed me has received an A+ in preparing me for the future. They have instilled in my mind the need for hard work and success. Constantly pushing me to strive to be greater and never give up no matter what. Every single one of the tests and projects that I dreaded completing throughout my entire life has helped me acquire the important skill of hard work.

All of the teachers and subjects that I have been involved in and whith has been a literal Christian to me- a little Christ, instructing me how to be like him. Chapel and small groups once a week as well as every single teacher would love to have a conversation on any theological topic. Each and everyone of the instructors cares about you and desires the best to come out of you. The teachers are willing to take as much time as required with everyone as they would with their own child. That devotion to their job and community has shaped me into a Godly young

    What my husband's advancement to Chief Petty Officer means to me? The answer of that question could be 10 pages long or I could just resume what I feel in one word, "extremely proud", well I guess two words. I met Christian 16 years ago, he was full of energy, funny, and he had the ability to turn any sad or bad situation into a joke making everybody laugh; that is what make me fell in love with him. On the other hand, he was a little immature, unfocused when it comes to work, and nothing seemed to fulfill his expectations. I always knew that his passion was a career in the military, but that was out of question in my book!…

    School is the beginning of our adventure through life. It not only teaches us the mandatory lessons needed but also ones that stick to us throughout life. Whether it was that one extraordinary teacher or the one everyone hated, students would still learn and use it to their advantage. Unfortunately, this was the mindset of teenagers/ young adult’s years ago; now the students of today aren’t understanding the value of their education and how far it can take them.…

    Against School Response Many would agree that school is important, including myself. However, just because it’s important doesn’t mean it’s always pleasant for the students (or teachers, apparently.) In fact, sometimes, besides school being an unpleasant experience, it can ultimately end up being a big waste of time. Not just for the student, or even the teacher, but everyone that attended a school that didn’t care about their students. Like John Gatto said in his insightful article “Against School”, when someone is educated, it doesn’t necessarily mean they went through twelve painful years of school, nor does success automatically mean that you went through them.…

    Religion is an established way of living one's life, while one's spiturality is way more complex and inherent than that of religion. To me they are not the same thing. They are two words that interchangeably get used together alot but not the same thing. Relgion is a set of dogmas, beliefs, rituals, precices and of memebership, while spirtuality is something internal. It is both universal in that we all have it but personal in a sense that it is unique to us.…

    Perhaps the single, most common answer to the question of the purpose of school is that it is to shape young minds in preparing them for the future. For some, school is where they go learn skills and techniques useful in the work world. For others, they are just forced to go to school, to be hassled with the burdens of overwhelming assignments, which deprive them of their ever so fulfilling social lives and other salient priorities. However, for the students in Crenshaw High School, school was a sanctuary, a safe haven; the only place where they felt accepted, worthy and optimistic. School was their only outlet where they could openly express themselves, especially in their English classes.…

    To be honest, I hate school with a passion, yet I love learning as much as living. As a child, schooling created a feeling of loneliness and sadness that echoed throughout my life, even now. I didn’t meet the standard levels for literacy and was separated from my classmates in elementary school for special reading and writing classes. Also the lack of freedom to say and move the way I wished to, and the rebellion that stemmed out of me in middle school due to these limitations. Finally, the conforming in high school to appease my mother, friends that drove me over the edge, yet even now I feel the same bull-crap in college.…
