Life After High School

Decent Essays
High School can be one of the most emotional times of your life because while you are growing physically, you are also growing mentally and emotionally while finding a new group of friends and new things about yourself. How hard can that be without one stable thing in your life to keep you balanced? Luckily most students find one singular thing that keeps them going through the tough times, whether that be sports, clubs or even fine arts. But what if that one thing is something that could help you find exactly what you needed to cope with the changes you are going through? That is how a lot of theatre students feel when they find theatre at a young age. They can take theatre classes that will count towards graduating with their diploma and

    Another thing to keep in mind is that some people like to go to college after high school because they get scholarships for either sports like basketball, football, or any other possible sport that you can think of. They go to college so that they can play college basketball or other college sport. So that’s another thing why people can consider going to college after high school is for example if a coach come from Indiana University to come see you play at your high school games and he is interested in you and tells you that we want you to come and play basketball for use for Indiana University. Are you going to accept the offer or are you going to say that I can’t right know because I want to take a year off of before I am ready to go…

    “If theatre were available during the school day for all students, it would allow most students to experience the joy of theatre, even those who wouldn’t necessarily try it outside of school.” For Mueller, theatre has proven an integral part of her education, identity, and now even her career. A 2008 State High alumna, she reflects on her SCASD experience: “My best memories are from high school when I had the opportunity to sing in many choirs and perform with the State High Thespians,” said Mueller.…

    Post-Secondary plan After high school, I intend to go to Cabrillo Community college. Once there, I intend to major in psychology to become a mental health counselor. I chose this because since I was a small child, I've always wanted to help people, but felt that taking a career in medicine was not something I was interested in. To do this, I will have to take several courses in general psychology, professional ethics, cognitive psychology, and counseling psychology. For each semester, I intend to take four classes, and two courses in the summertime.…

    Personally, I think my constant strive to be better at what I love to do says a lot about me and shows my determination. My parents have always said the talent will only get you so far and that hard work and dedication is what will get you all the way. Being a part of theater for about 5 years now has also taught me a lot about empathy and working as a team. Learning how to embody and live as someone else for just a little while has made me a more empathetic person outside of the theater and made me more understanding to those who live differently than I do or have different beliefs and values. Rehearsing and performing with the same group of people for 4 weeks to even a few months can bring people quite close.…

    Free from all the extra attention and scrutiny from teachers, who did all they could to mold the freshman class into proper "Vincentians", I felt as though I could finally relax and have a regular high school career. It was a slow paced year where pressures such as ACT and SAT preparation, applying for colleges, and deciding your career path seemed so far away. As long as I remember, I have been on a never ending journey of discovering my talents and finding a career that would be most suitable for me to contribute to society. I was convinced that If just lived life the way I was supposed to and fulfilled my responsibilities, that it all would just come to me one day. Because of my assumption of how much time I had to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, I found myself putting these important thoughts on a hiatus.…

    I walked into the familiar main entrance of the school, crossing my arms and setting my face into what I thought was an intimidating glare. Although I looked like an angry toddler, with my round face and childish glower, my attitude came across very clearly: I was not happy at all to be back at school. After getting into a huge fight with my friend group earlier that year, I was starting high school essentially friendless. It wasn’t as if I didn’t have another group of people to fall back onto.…

    It was the end of third grade and all of my friends and I were talking about who we wanted as a teacher the next year. Everyone wanted Mrs. Graham or Mrs. Friend because they were considered the “nicer” teachers. I didn’t really care who I had as long as they didn’t yell very much because it always scared me when they did that. I was the kid who always got upset when I saw that the teachers were yelling or mad at someone. My mom had told me that she didn’t request any certain teacher for me to have so it was going to be a surprise the next year when I found out.…
