I most likely can not call off both my work and my school at the same time, because I can not afford the lost. I I have to maintain my grades at a certain level for another 2 semester in order to get financial help from the school system, so I would not give any chances to ruin my effort that was built since the beginning of the semester. Due to my financial problem,…
In addition to enjoying my time of school, during the first few weeks of summer vacation the summer assignments were sent in along with the names of what teachers and classes you will have. At first I was thinking to myself, who are these teachers and what do they teach in the class called Inquiry Skills. I thought it was a class that was kind of like psychology but in a more basic level ( boy was I wrong.) All things considered, my first obstacle came when I saw the quantity of work I had to accomplish in other to prepare myself for the upcoming school year. Writing an essay on the book named Anthem for English was unbearable for the fact I never understood the book, answering a multitude of questions for the Greek story called the Iliad was…

Graduation speech Juan C “Nothing is over until the moment you stop trying.”- Bryan Dyson Being Comfortable has been a real struggle for me these past years i’ve been here in holmes.6th grade for a 5th grader is scary, not knowing what is coming for you. 7th grade becomes easier because you already have an idea of how junior high is. 8th is all about reflecting over 6th and 7th grade. But it’s not always about problems, stress and sadness, there's also good times, like when we went to camp duncan in 6th grade, when I performed in the V-Show in 7th grade,…
“I’m ready, I’m ready” says my childhood star-Spongebob before starting each day of work. This was also the same attitude with which I started my junior year with. Unfortunately, unlike Spongebob I did not end up continuing with that same attitude. The year was 2016, and I was certainly filled with hope for the new school year, but all to no avail.…

Freshman year of high school is scary for anyone, the enormous transition from being a top dog at middle school, back to an underclassman; wondering if your high school teachers will be as unforgiving as your 8th grade teacher’s descriptions, or even just that uncertainty that comes along with any major change. As a homeschooler entering school system for the first time, and having completely skipped 8th grade, it was terrifying. I had no idea what to expect, I worried about being behind the other students, or having missed something in my homeschooling curriculum, even interacting with other kids was all unfamiliar. It definitely didn’t help that, at 13, I was the youngest person in the building. Just two days into the school year, I discovered that P-AP world…

What I did not realize, was that summer classes move along much more swiftly than the regular semester. Additionally, I did not anticipate the amount of required reading and paper writing needed for each class. I had been out of school for nearly 25+ years, and I did not know how to use MS-Office correctly when writing a paper, thus I was off to a rough start. Therefore, if one is planning to return to school, meeting with an academic or advisement counselor is a good idea. I did not do this, I had done all of this online without ever meeting with someone who would advise me on how to the process works.…
