over 6 organized sporting clubs (baseball, soccer, basketball, football, tennis, and track and field). So my love of the game spread widely to all sports, influencing me and forming me into a better “team player”. However, at the beginning of my high school career, I was in a car accident. This accident left me with two herniated disks, and under doctor’s orders I was unable to play sports. Distressed and sad I had no idea what to do, sports were my only revilement of pain and emotional…
I moved here in 2012, was a small quiet town and although that is something that I now I know it is also so much more. I was in middle-school when I first came but it was in high school that I truly grew to appreciate the wonderful community. My first year of high school was certainly unnerving, although I had previously attended an elementary and middle school that were more than double its size it still held an allure of suspense over what may soon come. My freshman year was admittedly,…
The leaderships skills I have developed throughout my high school experiences have prepared me to positively impact the Penn State Behrend community. I have learned to work through challenges whether it be an academic challenge or a friendship challenge. One important thing I have learned was to not procrastinate on completing tasks. I’d rather finish a task early, so that I can go back and recheck my work. Being president of a show choir group has faced many challenges for me. I had to be in…
In my high school, however, at the end of every school year the county would come into the school and set up a booth to register new voters. The process was very simple. We were just required to fill out some paperwork and we were registered voters. There was nothing complicated about the registration…

Kenisha is an outgoing person who is willing to help anyone in need, and people initially notice her infectious smile. There were challenges of being able to keep at least straight A’s, a 4.0 GPA, and on top of that her, health. She was the type to be so much into school without a doubt. Kenisha’s high school life consisted of a close tie with sports. She has been a successful…
job you are looking at no matter what kind of job it is. But, when Bird says “My unnerving conclusion is that students are sad because they are not needed”(Bird 430). She is correct, most high schools willnot treat you correctly in order for you to be “college ready.” Some high schools will still be asking seniors to turn in their work that was due four days ago. That is not preparing them for college at all, they need to grow up and realize they will not be treated like that in college. So,…
According to a January 2012 study, approximately 11% of college freshman had declared a major within the fields of agriculture and biological sciences, based on statistics presented by the National Science Foundation, just in time for the predicted need for agriculture productivity to rise by almost 70% to continue to feed our world’s growing population by 2050. Now, you may think these statistics may be boring or mundane, but I can promise you, the field of agriculture is not! Today it…
Difficulties to completed High School Every day I face different kind of problem. It’s really hard to find the solution if the problem is really complicated. Still I try my best to find the perfect solution for each problem. It’s better to find the solution instead of just giving up. After I solved any problem it encourages me go farther and faces other problem on future. I am really concerned about the problem I faced. That’s why I try hard to think of the positive and negative effects of my…
Special Population: Low-Income High School Students Background While high school students’ dropout rates in general are declining, dropout rates for low-income students are still four and a half times greater than those of higher income students (Stark & Noel, 2015). This is important because, according to Bridgeland, Dilulio and Morrison (2006), from Civic Enterprises, “Dropouts are much more likely than their peers who graduate to be unemployed, living in poverty, receiving public assistance,…
