States. However, American High School sounded like a dream to me when I was in Lebanon because the only idea I had about schools here in America was from the disney movie high school musical. But when I went to school my senior year all the fun things that I use to dream about as a high school student turned out to be a nightmare. Even though, my last year of high school sucked but I remember every decision I made…
completed high school in the early 80’s, it was not expected of him to go to college because he already had his own construction company in Long Beach Island. Now for me, a fresh-out-of-high school noobie, I feel completely obligated to receive a higher education. As a result, I chose Monmouth University as my money-sink for the next four years. The decision to…

After going through all the chapters we have went have been going over in Issues of Unity and Diversity, I could relate to almost all of them but I had to narrow them down. I sat and went back through all of them again and two really stuck out to me, Chapter 4 and Chapter 8. Chapter 4 discusses talks about crime and chapter 6 talks about education. Some people may say that those to have nothing to do with each other but being where I’m from they go hand and hand. The south has a bad stereotype…
Preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school all systems made up by our society with the sole purpose of educating our youth. In our society education is very important it 's very valuable and it can shape how we approach our lives in this so called “real world”. The elementary school I attended was named Crestview Elementary it was closed down about four years ago and turned into an adult school. When I was enrolled there it was a ten minute walk from my home, just…
would take me to all my games; it was rare the times my dad would go. As I grew older I decided to try a different sport, so at the age of eleven, I started playing basketball at the YMCA. I remember how fun it was when we had practice, however, at times my coach would put us to play pick up games with kids that were older, so it was quite intimidating. Once I turned twelve, I joined the school basketball team in my middle school. As far I could recall…
I would see a lot of women with low top shirts and skirts smoking crake. Me being so young I did not comprehend what was going on. I would go outside almost every day to play ball with my brothers and hear a lot of fighting gunshots to the head. Oh boy who would have thought growing up in California I would experience seeing stuff so gang banging and hood like. Besides all of that the people in my family would describe me as a very…

Some people have everything planned and sorted out, but most off them have no clue what to do with their life after high school. To be able to make a better decision people should therefore think twice before continuing their education without taking a break. People in Sweden usually take one or a few years off after graduating high school to figure out what…

As a relatively new member of the Math Club at FGCU I…
Much like the majority of my peers, I began my college career as a timid, anxious freshman; however, as all of my peers began college with a multitude of friends that had carried over from high school, I began college alone. When I was a sophomore in high school, I made the conscious decision to graduate high school when I was a junior—thus, completing high school in three years instead of four. Though this move would look ambitious on my academic resume, I had failed to factor in the social…
