My time at Barnegat High School has helped me to become who I am today and will most defiantly impact what I will do in the future. The teachers and my peers have all been an influence on my life and during the four years that I spent at the school, I have done some things for the school and the community as a way to thank them for giving me the opportunities that they have. It was they who pushed me to keep trying and striding to succeed and without them, I would not have accomplished what I have today. One of the things that I am most proud of doing is helping to bring new clubs and activities to Barnegat High School. This year, with the help of other students and advisors, a new club made it into the ranks of the diverse sea of clubs and groups that already exist.…

Anacortes consists of approximately 16,000 residents and Anacortes High School currently has 790 students enrolled. Growing up, events put on by the high school such as plays concerts athletics and parades were my favorite thing. Today I am a three sport athlete, with varsity letters in tennis, basketball and football.…
“You must get an education. You must go to school, and you must learn to protect yourself. And you must learn to protect yourself with the pen, and not the gun”(Josephine Baker). Growing up in Southwest Philadelphia and Upper Darby, I have seen a lot of my peers turn their backs on education due to the hardships of their urban school environment. Due to the poor education system and their circumstances, they decided to head towards street life such as selling drugs and gun violence.…
Before attending Wilmington Early College High School (WECHS), I was not satisfied with my personality, nor was I happy with the way I was perceived by other people. Most would think that I should have been confident because in middle school I was in the AIG program. However, I never truly felt satisfied with myself. I always got good grades, but I never felt like I earned good grades. Although I was making straight As and Bs, it was always relatively easy to earn those marks in middle school.…
Locked In! Elie Wiesel’s work, Night, published in 1958, demonstrates the struggles Jewish society and other minorities faced in order to live a life of liberty. I, myself, felt bound and trapped, not by iron doors, but by words. Although being open and outgoing can help communication growth, rudeness and unnecessary judgement can hinder one’s ability to socialize and express themselves.…
Since moving to Bettendorf for my High School years I have learned more than I could imagine and for that, I will be grateful for forever. I have learned more about myself, more in school, and most importantly I have learned from my mistakes including how to fix them to prevent myself from ever making them again. Everyone makes mistakes and may possibly get in trouble for these. I will never forget Bettendorf High School nor February 28th, 2018. February 28th was a day that has changed how I think about my best friends, and also made think about everyone a lot more than I did before.…
“H-Hi… M-my n-name is…” I would constantly stutter like this when introducing myself on the first day of school every year in high school until 12th grade. This was the result of having terrible self-confidence and being introverted. I became introverted due to my move from Indiana to Alabama. I still have a love and hate relationship with this move. I love it for the fact that it showed to not take friends for granted.…

Hi I'm Colleen Burns and I attend Hope College in Holland, Michigan. I just finished up an amazing first year at a school that I knew only one person going into it. I joined a sorority my second semester and I have made so many new friends through it. I am from Deerfield, Illinois and went to Deerfield High School. I come from a loving family of 7, so you can probably imagine the chaos of our everyday lives.…
What does someone do when they are plagued with harassment and scornful comments? They pick up an instrument, of course! … Well, at least I did. In my attempt to combat such malicious remarks, I committed to the discipline of learning a musical instrument just because it was the only thing available to distract me from the atypical days of 8th Grade.…
For a lot of people in Evansville, Bosse High School’s gym is just a gym. To me, this is actually a place I hold close to home. High school is probably the scariest thing starting next to college. Luckily I got a head start with knowing people considering I was going to the complete opposite high school that everyone in my middle school was going to. Cheer has always saved the day.…
