My First Day at School Essay Secondary School

School had always been enjoyable for me and the highlight of my day, until I finally reached high school. It suddenly became a number game, where competition started to become a factor and the goal is to be the top student of the class by scoring the highest on tests. While I have been a firm believer that grades…

In my seventeen years of living I have encountered many obstacles, but I have obviously overcome them because I am writing this essay. I’d have to say that my Sophomore Year of high school was one of the worst years I have ever had so far. I went in with high hopes and big dreams and I came out even sadder and filled with dread. As Freshman Year ended, I made a list of goals I would like to achieve in my Sophomore Year. A few things I jotted down were; the cliche fall in love, learn what…

Tommy Segovia and Calder Pillay had always done things together. Always. They both went to the same school, The University School in Hyde Park, Chicago.

Now, Tommy is back, and, despite Petra’s objections about Tommy, the three of them must prevent Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House from being torn down! The Wright…

Introduction: Attention Arousing and Orienting Material: I first became aware of anxiety when I was in high school. That’s when I realized I was different than everyone else, or at least from most. I couldn’t talk in front of the class or become friends with new people because I just couldn’t talk to anyone. The idea of people watching me was terrifying. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how serious anxiety could be when I was in high school. I just assumed there was something wrong with me that I…

how do you act? I have been working in education for over 25 years but in March 2015, I registered my new business, ‘Listening to Your Voice Ltd’, because I made the conscious decision that in September when the new school year began, I would not be returning to a school and teaching. It was a brave decision for me to make as teaching was the only real career that I had known. As part of my first degree, I had worked at Guy’s Hospital as a research assistant, but after a year, I knew that I did…

Shortly before commencing my junior year in high school, I was faced with the arduous decision of selecting my IB subjects. I had to make a choice of which social science I would take. With strong persuasion, my brother urged I take economics which was a course that seemed very foreign to me. Whilst learning the IB economics curriculum, I began to realise how significant the economic implications of climate change are which was crucial for further development of my passion for environmentalism.…

When I think back on my years in middle school the difficult class was 8th grade social studies. It wasn’t difficult because I didn’t understand what we were learning, it was because of the teacher. Mr. Degroot was one of the most, if not the most, infuriating teachers I ever met. There are so many reasons why and I could go on for hours. He wasn’t even qualified to teach social studies! There were a lot of people involved. In fact, everyone in my grade who had to sit through his class. More…

I believed my life was over and that I would grow to be a lonely homo sapien. Getting taken out of high school is not how I wanted to leave Riverbend high school. I wanted to graduate with my friends I’d known since kindergarten. I thought my hopes and dreams could never be achieved because I wasn’t in regular public high school. I felt like my future plans to go to college and leave Virginia were ruined. Were they really? Or was this just the dramatic thoughts of a typical over exaggerating…

that her school was not equally funded as other schools, “they have that money goin’ to their schools. They have a nice clean school to go to. They have carpets on the floors and air-conditioned rooms and brand-new books. Their old books, when they’re done with them, they ship them here to us.” (Kozol, 2012, p. 210).
