homework each per night. I remember in elementary school how I couldn 't wait to get home from a long day of school and being able to do whatever I wanted to do. Whether it be play outside, play with friends, watch my favorite tv show, extracurricular activities or whatever it may that interested me. But those visions are always ruined when you get home and your parent reminds you it is time to do homework. In fact, I have a little sister, Macy, who is now in the 2nd grade and everyday she…

balance the better person you are. I am guilty of this, I try exceedingly hard to be involved in everything. In highschool I bragged about all the extra work I had on my shoulders. I was a highly involved student, participating in ten extra curricular activities. I was president of four clubs and I had a job at the local burger shack three miles away from the school I attended. On top of that I helped my mom with her school work and completed everything in a breeze. I lived for the question “How…

I could cry.” That’s one of the final lines, spoken by the character Frenchy, in the musical “Grease.” The characters Jan and Sandy respond before the teens in the story about young love and fast cars sing a verse of the song “We Go Together” as they dance their way off the stage. When Jamie Valentine, Alec Hutchison, Jenna Blount, Alex Denton and the rest of the cast perform that scene Sunday afternoon, we hope it marks the rebirth of musicals at Jay…

students decide to join a club or take part in an extracurricular activity, and others do not. Since the principal made the decision to enact the requirement for all students to participate in at least one extracurricular activity, many more families have been complaining to the School Board. Admittedly, many students love school clubs. On the other hand, many students do not. Therefore, forcing students to take part in these activities in unfair. Taking something optional and making mandatory,…

The principle deciding that all students must participate in one extracurricular activity or more is, in my opinion, a bad decision. -Hook- Forcing students to take an extra curricular activity will do far more negative than it will good, for example it will cost the school more money, and take away time from both the students and teachers. By forcing students to take an extracurricular activity you would be depriving them of much needed time at home. Time that could be used with the…

Anderson High School isn't a bad school but it's the sports that's wrong with Anderson high school. One of the reasons is that the sports at anderson high school is bad is because they only focus on the basketball and football, Another reason is that during games or meets there seems to always be fights, and last but not least is the student body seems to only come out to football…
