and worked a full time job, maintaining a 4.5 GPA and being active within a homeschool group. I would have loved to continued homeschool throughout high school but when my Mother and I moved from the coast back home to Asheboro to be with family, my Mom had to go back to working full time. So off to high school I went, well it turns out real high school is not like the musical that I somewhat expected. Joining as a sophomore it was difficult fitting in at times. Everyone had their group of…

In my life I have been very fortunate in that my parents have been willing and able to provide for my financial needs so that I have not had to get a full time job. My parents have always said that school was my job, and I have always worked hard to make sure that I do the absolute best I can in school. In high school I took all honors and AP classes, as well as participating in multiple clubs and after school activities, and now in my first year of college I am already a junior with credits and…

I have spent years waiting. Waiting to get into high school, waiting to turn 16 to drive, and now waiting to turn 18 and complete high school. My entire life I have been living in the future- waiting for something to come or to become a certain age or for something to happen. I have not been in the present. Everything I do is a component of this giant plan to be successful later in life. My “whale” is striving and hoping for the future instead of doing things now. This “giant plan” has made me…

Everyone changes at least once during their time in high school. Over the last few years, I have been through a variety of challenges. God has blessed me with an amazing four years of learning; not only just in school, but also in life. One can only make so many mistakes before he or she learns from them. I do not have many regrets in my high school career, but I am glad that I was able to learn from them. When I was a freshman, I was just beginning how to find my place in the world. I was…

doing. Life is full of changes that are big and small. Some changes are taken solely by yourself, and others with a group of family or friends. Life is very dynamic and it always will be. I graduated high school and I was still seventeen. I had applied to colleges throughout my last year of high school just to show my parents that I was doing it. I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do after high school, which was my first change. There are so many paths to take once you make it through…

High school has been a four-year collection of many downs for me; I have struggled with depression since middle school, and it has followed me into my teenage years. The most difficult part of depression for me is having a lack of energy. I wake up for school at six o’clock in the morning and find it practically impossible to drag myself out of bed, but I know I have to because staying at home all day makes me feel even worse. I go to school with people I’m typically not in the mood to talk to,…

their lives forever. Three months before the beginning of my junior year of high school, I was told news that would most certainly change my life forever. I was just sixteen and on my way to being a mother. Yup, that’s right, I was pregnant. When the doctor came into the room and told me that I was going to have a baby, a rush of thoughts came pouring into my head: how will my parents feel and react? What about finishing school and starting college? What am I going to do? I then came to the…

Becoming a freshmen, meeting new people, managing all my time, were some of the adversities I’ve overcome since starting high school. Being a sophomore is difficult, the classes are harder, you still have three years left, there’s not always much to look forward to. However, every day I am thankful for the people I have met in the past year, and even though this life I lead is quite stressful, I’ve never had the motivation like I have no to get up in the mornings and really commit to what I am…

It seemed like even before I was in high school my future was already planned for me. That I was going to get pregnant and drop out of school at sixteen. I was going to be stuck working at Mcdonald’s trying to feed my family off of minimum wage, but I wasn't going to let that happen. I didn't wanna be another statistic. Growing up, Education has always been a big part of my life. My father never finished high school and my mother passed away before she could finish college. Because of this, I…

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 Dodge and Beek halls like the changing staircases in Hogwarts. If I have learned anything from high school it is that it flies by fast, and I mean really fast. One…
