With only months left before graduation, does every senior flip into another mode? The mode where high school really isn’t at the top of seniors’ priorities is often called senioritis. Senioritis is characterized by a lack of motivation and a decline in performance in the last weeks of a student’s high school career. Many think that senioritis just descends upon a select number of seniors, but in reality the thought of skipping class and homework crosses the mind of every senior. Senioritis is different in all seniors based on the attitude and work ethic they have towards school.…
I really suck at saying goodbyes, because a majority of the time I don't want to. Saying goodbye to high school isn't going to be that hard though, at least that's what I think. This class has taught me to write better, but I won't miss having to write papers next semester. They aren't my strong suit. I'm excited for a new schedule and classes next semester as well.…
Walking through the halls of high school I notice the behavior of some of the students. People mature differently, some may need more time while others will not. Few have the capability of graduating and leaving high school early and beginning life in what Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College, calls "the real world" (154). A high school student will graduate at age 18 after going through elementary, middle, and high school for four years, this system gives students a chance to attain knowledge in several subjects, find their interests, and to mature.…
(Sopho)More distractions The second year in high school one is considered a sophomore/10th grader that the upper class man still consider annoying. A common belief is that sophomore school year is the funniest school year in high school due to the comfort gaining by the accommodating factors within the school. For example, on average every student receives a simple class that the teacher may let students spend the entire school year watching videos or movies.…
Senioritis and Post-High School Plans As fourth quarter begins, students across the high school are realizing that the school year is beginning to draw to a close. The weather is slowly becoming more pleasant, end-of-the-year events are starting up, and the thought of summer is creeping into the back of many students’ minds again--especially seniors. As it does every year, Senioritis is starting to make an appearance in the graduating class. Senioritis occurs in many seniors when they realize that in a few short months, they will have graduated high school and finished four of the hardest (but best) years of their life so far.…
From the time a five-year-old steps into their first day of kindergarten till the day they graduate from college, they will hear “you are our future, our next generation, the people who will change things” from elder ones. If the next generation is our future, would that consider a senior in high school to be more valuable than a senior in college in society? If the new generation will bring more excellence, knowledge, and a different outlook to the way things are to insure a better tomorrow, the youngest would hold the most worth. In high school, seniors are the ones who rule the school, and is believed that they will be our next line of doctors who will find a cure for cancer or save our planet from global warming.…
Are you getting enough nutrients? Carbs, proteins, and fats are important because they help get a better and healthier body. Teenagers around the age of 13 to 18 do not consume enough fats, proteins, or carbs or they consume way too much. Different age groups must consume different amounts and if consumed the right amount it leads to a better and healthier lifestyle.…
Senior year is the ending to a 12 year journey of education and friendship. This is how my last year of schools has went so far. The Year started out with something unusual to me. I started an internship helping my mom babysit two kids.…
Yes, senior year is supposed to be pizza and parties, but I have a busy schedule filled with AP classes and homework so I need to take it seriously. I hope to get accepted into a college or university by the end of my senior year. These nine months of my senior year is going to be stressful, depressing, and fun.…
I’ve been waiting for this year since I walked into Coral Gables Senior High as a freshman. Everyone kept talking about how senior year was the best year anyone can experience in their 4 years in high school and I was finally a senior. Senior year was finally here and I couldn’t wait to go to grad bash, prom and the most exciting part of the whole year, graduation. I knew I was going to enjoy the experience and love every second of it.…
Since the first day, time has been flying really fast. Starting a fresh new day, meeting the same teachers and same old friends, I still cannot imagine that I am now a senior! In my senior year, there will definitely be a lot of challenges and obstacles for me to conquer, but I believe that as long as I do everything step by step, I can beat down the difficulties in this senior year. When I was in junior year, I often heard last year’s seniors told me how hard is it to come up with a senior project topic, and they kept on reminding me to start thinking of my topic and finding my mentors. Luckily, I had research method class last year, so I knew how to do my APA style references and I had many presentations experiences last year.…
As an unimportant freshman, all I can remember is striving to become a senior. To be a senior meant being at the top of the totem pole, the apex predator. High school would then be my domain, and I would have some amazing revelation of my spot in the world. Three years of difficult work brought me to an undiscovered land, an undiscovered land that I had already discovered. Aside from being friends with some of my teachers and graduating that year, senior year seemed the same as any year.…
As I wrap up my junior year of high school, I look back and reflect. We accomplished much this year, which made this year busy. We completed independent essays, IXL objectives, read AR books, and more. All of these things are getting me one step closer to graduating! Each quarter we were to complete our independent essays.…
High school years are some of the most challenging years many students face. Numerous students would agree that junior year is the most difficult and stressful of the four. Junior year is when you encounter the pressure of doing well on the SAT and ACT so you can get accepted into your dream college and you start taking advanced placement classes which have a different demeanor compared to regular high school classes along with the standard tests and quizzes that are given to you in your regular classes. These situations cause stress led by the idea that students have to perform exceptional on every test they complete and assignment they turn in. In the perfect world this is every student's goal, but in reality this cannot always be accomplished.…
My senior year is a precedent for the years to come. The goals that I have set for my senior year are simple. I want to graduate with distinction, acquire as many scholarships as possible, and to make valuable friendships. By being productive and focused I can maximize the potential of my senior year, and achieve these goals before graduation. Graduating with distinction requires that a individual has at least a 95 average or above in high school.…
