Last year of high school, seniors are focused on football games and prom, who 's dating who, and what their summer plans are with their “squad”. A senior in high school does not stress over their responsibilities as a student, completing homework to their full potential, or working as many shifts as possible to pay from education. I was the typical teenager who wanted to live life in the present and not take time out to ever think about the future ahead. Once I got into the “college life” I started to realize how quickly you have to grow up and establish what your priorities are. For college I have to main priorities which is graduating as a Warrior and to pay off schooling.…

I will continue to do so. As you may know now I am a senior of Hempstead High School, my senior year has finally arrived.…
As you start your freshman year the possibility of being a senior and graduating seems far away in the distant future. The reality of it is exactly the opposite! It goes by faster than the blink of an eye. In order to make your high school experience a positive one I recommend that you get involved. Find a sport, a club or an activity that you will enjoy. Just take part, have fun and be a part of the school spirit.…
In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…
Until one day in class when I heard one of my friend’s whisper to someone across the room say, “Only three more months until graduation” The biggest smile shot across my face and out of nowhere I had the urge to get all of my school work done. On graduation day all of the laziness, lack of motivation and sweat pants went away and I had finally found my cure, graduation. I thought the senioritis had made its way out of me for good but once I got into college it was…
After my first two weeks of my junior year, I have discovered that junior year is going to be challenging. I will make critical decisions that will have a major impact on the next five years of my life (and beyond) as I start narrowing down list of colleges and career paths. Junior year will be stressful for me since I'm in multiple extracurricular activities and I'm taking Advanced Placement classes. I am thrilled that I took AP Language and Composition because it is going to prepare me for college and help me become a skillful writer. Lord of the Flies is a fascinating book.…
Stanwood High School, the place I want to leave so badly but has taught me so much. I never thought senior year would be fast approaching and I would soon hear my name being called over the loud speaker to grasp the paper that we all work so hard for. There are many monsters I have battled through the course of high school, some I have walked away with a victory and others I have been defeated. I have lost all motivation in the last weeks of my senior year, while one day feels like one year.…
Usually, certain parents and teachers hate to stress seniors on their last year with a lot of work from their classes. The only problems teachers stress about are, senior trips, prom, senior prank, senior cookout, graduation, and college applications. To some, these aspects are actually amusing and exciting rather than…
ME, i have been sitting here for the past hour trying to figure out how i want to write about me. Me, i have grown up taking care of my little brother and when we were seperated, my need to care for someone just grew stronger so I started babysitting, I think that’s when the idea that I wanted to be a social worker came in the problem, with that is I am not the greatest at school and you need to go t'o school to be a social worker, but i’ve never really thought about college, but that subject has re-entered my mind. My junior year was not the easiest for me, I didn’t always attend class like I should, never really listened to teachers, so for my senior year, i’ve set a good goal for myself, that I need to work hard and GRADUATE so I can move on with my life and get my future going, I am a kind caring person who has flaws like any other person…
University Of Texas Failure is always a path to success ive figured out early in my life. As a little kid adapting toward my teenage years I made many embarrassing mistakes in my life that sometimes I wouldn’t even do the chances I was given due to the fear of failing. The funny thing is it’s not me failing that lets me down, but the advantage or only advantage I was chosen on something and I failed. Well I’m not going to fail today because i am blessed to apply at a college that most kids don’t even have money or opportunities that I had. Most kids in other countries could only be living 1% of my life and it would be the happiest thing for them ever and for that I’m grateful for everything that was given to me since a baby.…
Senior year is all about deciding what one wants to do in the future, what major the individual will study, but most importantly what college one is going to attend. A local community college or go big and go to a university. Is the college going to be near home, a couple hours away, or even in a completely different state. People need to know the effects of going to college out of state to know the challenges to expect. Students going to college out of state need to be prepared for not knowing people or even the town, tuition being more expensive, and being homesick.…
The years we spend in high school are one of the toughest, most memorable, and important years in our life. We get to overcome our fears and learn a lot about ourselves. There are many challenges we face. For example, seeking the approval of our peers, worrying about college, sports, extracurricular activities, our GPA, and finding a part time job for some students. The challenges that I want to overcome this year is catching up with prior knowledge that students already learned, procrastination and my attendance.…
A Lesson Learned My senior year was a complete disaster. I never took anything serious, and I always waited till the last minute to do everything. All throughout my senior year teachers told me I needed to push myself to achieve a higher grade although my stubborn self never listened. I can remember I always was a student who fell under the c to a d range in my grades with homework and tests, and my teachers always told me I could do better.…
My first three years flew by and I was hoping that I would enjoy my final year. On the first day of school in my senior year, I finally realized that I didn’t have much time left…
