Garrett Middle School was moved to the “current” site in August of 1972. The school was designed in the open pod/ team concept. Pods were basically one large room, there was no separation between team’s subjects. Eventually, the pod's design was realized to be not a suitable set up for students to learn effectively. This led to the building of walls in the classroom to divide them up.…

I think I should be in National Junior Honor Society because I have great leadership skills. I love to help out with kids and make sure they are included in everything. It would be a good learning experience leading school activities such as dances and concession stands. I want to join National Junior Honor Society because it sounds like a fun learning opportunity and skills I could use my whole life. These skills I could use in everyday life and forever.…
National Junior Honor Society is a great opportunity for me! I have been dreaming to be in this society ever since the end of fifth grade. I would love to be involved in NJHS and share my suggestions and listen to other people’s ideas. I am very passionate to help those in need. For an example, I have donated many foods, clothing, utensils, and more to Vietnam and to the victims of Hurricane Harvey.…
National Junior Honor Society is a great opportunity for me, and is an organization that I really hope to be in. I love doing service not because I am forced to, but I get to be with my friends and is also a way for me to give back to the community. I love helping the needy and have participated in countless activities. For example, I was a part of a group that put together care kits for the homeless, picked up trash at a park, and created blankets for the needy. Being in NJHS will give me a chance to find even more ways to do more service and become a leader.…
I am interested in attending the Naval Academy Summer Seminar in the Summer of 2017, because I would like to be introduced to the rigors and challenges that all Midshipmen face while attending the United States Naval Academy. Although I have not received any STEM-related awards, being at the academy would afford me the opportunity to develop friendships with students from around the nation, develop teamwork skills and see what it would be like to push myself in physical and mental situations. Being accepted to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar would be a great honor, and would create opportunities that would help me mature into a Midshipman, that will eventually lead me to develop into a naval officer. I have always wanted to join the…
Throughout my life I have always tried to be the best person I could possibly become. From having perfect grades to being any sports team MVP. I have grown up with the phrase, “The harder you work, the better you do,” engraved into my head. My dad told me this after school, after sports, and after I finish anything i did. I work hard for my grades and that has ended me here.…
It has come to my knowledge that there is a limited amount of spots in the ENG 102 class for next semester. I am one of the best candidates to continue into ENG 102 and thrive in Ms. Laduca’s learning environment. Although I do not fear that I have not already earned my spot, I will proceed to justify my case. I have been an adroit student of Ms. LaDuca’s for the last year and a half; she knows exactly what kind of student I am. Since seventh grade, I have been an ebullient honors student in the top ten percent of the 2016 cohort and have not received any grades lower than an A. I always exceed expectations, put in 110% of my effort, and achieve and maintain excellent grades at the same time.…

Safety tips during summer break. It’s summer officially, the school bell rung already. The kids are out for school for summer break. We can make it fun and safe.…
My main concern previous to this summer assignment was the level of interest I would have in the novels we read, as well as the difficulty they may contain. However, after reading, I thoroughly enjoyed the short stories and I genuinely believe that the reading level will be sufficiently difficult, yet not impossible. The amount of reading required for the summer assignment felt fairly familiar to the previous year. Nevertheless, I never had to write 5 papers in one summer. This doesn’t raise any concerns for me, however, because I did realize that AP Junior English would require more work, and I prepared myself for it.…
Going into High School, my experience with the Sponsors their have shown me a new way of just reading a book. Now when I read a book, I try to find a movie or a graphic version of it to help put words into pictures. With writing, I grew up not wanting write, but my Sponsors showed me how writing can help me remember what I just read by writing words I do not know and their definition or writing lines to force what I’m writing to be remembered. With this new knowledge of literacy it has helped me become a better person and student because the skills that have been taught to me by the numerous sponsors through my years of growing made me better understand a subject by writing it out rather than hearing it in a lecture form or practices shown to me that I now use to help me. Within Skyline High School, I had many Sponsors helped me out in their own subjects but when it came to subjects like College, Personal Statements or linking with life after High School, I had little help from the Institution which led to me to do my own research to prepare what is to come for my…
