I’m so excited to finally get out of this Hellhole. But before that we have to start the last day… I wake up my queen bed and look at beautiful sunrise mural that I painted myself. It took forever but I managed, after I stare at it for a minute my alarm goes off and I check my phone it read 6:00 am, “Woke up…

nor do I find talking in front of an audience appealing, I’m basically shy. I have wracked my heart and brain for what I ought to say to you today. I continually asked myself what I wished I had known before graduation, and what important life lessons to learn along the way. It has been 1389 days, 2,000,160 minutes, and 33,336 hours since we first stepped onto Newport Harbor’s campus, as freshman. Yes freshman! It feels like yesterday that we “little freshman” were wandering the labyrinths of…

Gavriel M. Cruz Dfm6 Have you ever been in a one mythical promenade? There will never be as haunting as that night. It’s every high school teens’ dream to be on a prom and we surely made that day wonderful. Whatever we did, we made sure that it’ll make us happy. For one evening; we were teenagers that lived like were going to die tomorrow, and most of all; we enjoyed everything that we can never do again after we graduated. Everything about our prom is magical. That’s why my prom night was an…

supposed to join it readily. By the end of high school I just want to still be a person that smiles at others in the hallway, and I want those smiles to be real. That’s really the only personal goal. Oh! I also want to give a commencement speech at graduation, I already have it half written. Next cross country season I plan to train harder and take better care of myself. If someone has to consciously make social goals, um, I guess that’s ok. I’ll settle with simply trying to be a friendly person…

pastor’s sermons, however without a religious aspect. Vonnegut advises this graduating class on how to be good people and lead good lives. The tone of this essay is patronizing, as it is expected for graduation speakers to be wise and impart wisdom into the new generation. This is why most graduation speeches are timeless, such as “This is Water” by David Foster Wallace. He begins the speech with a silly and seemingly dull piece of advice that he uses to start deeper discussion: “I suppose you…

education system. With my continuous effort to persuade them, they finally agreed to send me here. If they did not trust that I could do well in a foreign country, I would live under big pressure from Korean education system, and keep living in gloomy days due to my unsocial personality. When I was young, I had done a lot of things giving my parents a hard time. However, they really trust and love me, and have sacrificed their most of their lives for me. They also encourage and give good advices…

it is very cool. I know someone has told me, “Wow, I can’t imagine what it is like for you.” So far, I don’t think it has had much of an impact. As a freshman, as a First Generation student, I feel like I am doing pretty well. The first couple days before classes started I would hate logging in to ICON because it would make me nervous and give me this uneasy feeling having to look…

There are several high school experiences that I went through. From the first day of high school all the way to graduation day. These experiences could be great or they could be terrible. The high school experience that I went through was horrible. The night I lost to Dorman High School in the third round of the playoffs. I remember the whole day like it just happened yesterday. The most that I remember about that day is the pre game, the actual game, and the post game. The pre game was the…

I’ve never felt so accomplished in my life before, I have been waiting since every young for this day to come. I always hated school because of its long hours behind a desk listening to a teacher lecture about a subject. It was the same routine for thirteen years, starting with kindergarten had to wake up early to get to school, after school then go home to do homework, and sleep. With being so eager to graduate, I never took a second to pause and just take it in to appreciate my life.…

at all. It’s time for a change and in fact FCAT is a part of that. The main effect of FCAT is the dropout rate starting to rise which makes it impossible for most kids to graduate, get good grades, attend college, and also cause embarrassment. Graduation play’s a huge role in most children’s lives, but sometimes it’s hard to reach that goal when it’s hard for the kid’s to focus. Most kids drop out of school not because they want to or they’re forced to, they do it because they feel as if…
