High School Experience Essay

Learning in school was difficult when I was younger because I struggled with being moved from different schools. As I grew older, I would start to think about my future career and goals. Including thinking about going to colleges, but knowing it will be tough financially. One of the biggest struggles I have had is changing schools often. When I was in elementary and junior high school my mother would be switching me from one school to another. I would not be stable in only one school. It had…

age of eighteen, my objective was to finish high school and to start working, because at the age of sixteen I was almost self-sufficient. The public school, which I had access to, in the late 1990’s did not offer any activities or organization involvement. My first contact with student life was when I became a student at Lone Star College-Montgomery in Texas. My work experience proved a bit different and more rewarding results than my school experience. Working as a full time general office…

Throughout my life I have been involved in many activities; from school to in the community to after school. I have had a wide range of employment opportunities and have learned various skills through these jobs. Some of these skills have been able to benefit others and have taught me many things. Once I got into middle school I really wanted a job so I went down to the local newspaper and was a paper boy for three year. Since this particular newspaper had to be delivered before 7 in the…

When I first arrived at Sanderson High School I was fundamentally flawed in my approach to academics. I was ignorant of how much importance there was in my level of focus and effort. Although my mind was sharp my will was lacking, I still had the mindset that homework and studying weren't top priorities but more something to do with spare time. I would do poorly and then spend much time reflecting why I didn't get an A in an easy class or at least a B in an honors class. Now my GPA is rising…

The most significant event in my high school experience occurred on June 6, 2014 when I decided to cut my hair. Now, by cut I don’t mean a slight trim or a nice bob, I’m talking about a one inch bush. Only a week prior to doing the deed did I decide I was going to go through with it. It didn't take much thought, at that point in time it was just hair, but in the past it was much bigger than that. In my short seventeen years I’ve heard many girls girls speak against the idea of cutting their…

Harding Middle School, I have learned and seen a lot of different things. It has been an interesting experience going back to middle school and being an adult time around! I’ve enjoyed my time with nurse Ann as she has been able to guide through the experience of school nursing. As time has gone by at the school, I’ve been able to get more familiar with my surroundings and the students. School nursing has been a good experience so far as there’s never a day that I don’t experience a unique…

Weekly Journal #1 Monday- 7:45-12:00 Today was exhausting. The kids were hyper after the weekend and the morning procedures took a little longer than usual because we were reminding the students what they need to be doing. I also witnessed in the hall how sweet kids can turn and say something offensive. Our class was lined up in the hall ready to walk into the classroom. Some children were still getting into line from being in the cafeteria. One boy had his head shaved over the weekend. One…
