As my time in high school begins to dwindle down and graduation day rapidly approaches, I look forward to embarking onto college and a new series of endeavours. However, I would not be the person I am today if it was not for my journey from freshman to senior year at John F. Kennedy Memorial High School. I have learned countless morals, lessons, and an incredible education in my unforgettable high school experience. My teachers, administrators, coaches, as well as fellow classmates and teammates have made my time in high school enjoyable and have taught me so much. John F. Kennedy Memorial High School has both a rich history and a bright future.
I still remember walking into the auditorium for freshman orientation and listening to Mr. Cilento

That is merely one example of the respect throughout the school, every day I see a respectful and accepting culture in school. This culture has made JFK a haven for students and will continue to do so for years to come.
At JFK we make it our best effort to excel in “the three A’s,” the arts, the academics, and the athletics. It is so incredibly easy to become involved, the only reason one is not involved in something is because they choose not to be. There are an abundant amount of extracurriculars you can participate in, whether it be sports, a club, the band, or the school play there is many opportunities to become involved.
My time in high school has flew by right before my very eyes and my advice for incoming freshman is very simple. First, I would tell them to focus in the classroom. There is nothing more important in school then getting good grades and that is incredibly difficult if you do not focus and dedicate yourself to your studies. Next, I would tell them to get involved. An easy way to meet new people, make friends, and have fun is to join a club or team. Finally, I would tell them to relax and have fun. You are only in high school once so enjoy it, there is nothing to be nervous about so relax and enjoy yourself. High school will go by before you know it so don’t take it for

    John Kennedy’s argument is wonderful in convincing Americans that they can do more to help America advance from its standstill. He discussed the issues such as hunger, and even stated how many people were affected. Ultimately, he explained how starvation was intolerable in American society and that America can solve/advance from the problem. Kennedy shared many influential facts including: the pay rate of Americans, the educational openings for Americans, the innovation in America, and many more issues.

    In a haunting prediction of his future, John Fitzgerald Kennedy perfectly described his legacy when he said “a man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on”. The most distinctive feature that relates to John F. Kennedy is the phrase ‘a man may die’ due to his assassination, but his ideas and his presence still live in America. From every event that Kennedy endured in his presidency to the moment he was murdered, his life is preserved in the minds of those he influenced through the tasks he achieved as our nation’s 35th president. On May 29, 1917, John Fitzgerald “Jack” Kennedy was born as the second child of Joseph Kennedy Sr. and Rose Kennedy.…

    When I first entered high school, I was terrified, but a little excited. The idea of being surrounded by a bunch of strangers, and being in a new environment made me tremble. When my first day of high school finally came, I realized that it was a much different experience than I expected. There were no teachers really guiding you around, the only person you could depend on was yourself. I learned that more and more everyday.…

    At the corner of Walker St. and Crescent St., across the road from Walker Jr. High School, passed La Palma Hospital, lies the largest campus of Anaheim Union High School District, John F. Kennedy (JFK) High School.

Tall, lush trees provide shade, protecting me from sunshine and heat of the afternoon sunlight.…

    At 38 degrees latitude north and 92 longitude west, lies the rural farming town of California, Missouri. This town is rich in cornfields, small businesses, and many churches of all denominations. From the quiet fields, to the busy town square this city is home to 4,341 people. What I believe makes California stand out from the other towns is that it has the “oldest continuously operating fair west of the Mississippi” (Kunze). But the thing that impacts me most about this town is the California High School, it’s staff, and the students.…

    Though I am not even half way through my high school career, I feel as if I can still be a help to those who are just beginning. High school is probably the most important part of your life that you are responsible for in our teenage years, so it is important not to mess it up.

My first recommendation is that you don’t procrastinate.…
