Bard High School Early College

of my sophomore year my house burnt down and I moved to Mobile, Alabama. I did not have any plans on going to college and I started to question God and what people said about him. I prayed one night and asked God to show me a sign that he was really real and from that day on God began to show me everything he had planned out for me. I son began to realize that God wanted me to go to college, but I was to let him decide what he wanted me to major in. My first time at University of Mobile was…

It was not till one day that was towards the last week of my senior year where I realized I should 've been giving a hundred percent towards my school work.

Having a 3.2 cumulative GPA as my midterm grade is a good start to college, I believe. For the fall semester I am enrolled in Biology 160, Biology 132, Philosophy 112, General Chemistry 101, and University 100 totaling up to fourteen credit hours. Being enrolled in three sciences I do not have the expectation to be a perfect student and have all A’s in those classes simply because those are more difficult classes. For Philosophy 112 and University 100 I do expect to maintain an A throughout the…

Flowing cherry blossom petals are telling the end of spring. I was a middle school student in Japan who did not have any interest in playing sports. It was about lunch time, and everyone was eating lunch. I was eating my lunch and thinking what I am going to do for the rest of the lunch time. After I ate my lunch, I begun to walk around the campus of Oyaba middle school, the school that I spent two years of my precious adolescence, and I saw my friends, Shugo and Takumi, playing basketball at…

His class color was orange, and since they cycle around, that was to be mine. Perfect, I thought, I can keep being him. I was just as smart as Avery. He made good grades his whole life, so I of course had to. My brother went out for tennis in high school, so when I became a freshman, I tried out. I made the team and the comparisons to Avery followed soon after. How we setup to hit the same, how we served the same, and even how we ran the same. My coach, Stockwell, started saying I was better…

to a small group of high school students. These students had unknowingly started a case that would end up making a huge impact on how the public school system may limit a student’s freedom of expression. Starting at the beginning, students John Tinker and Christopher Eckhardt wished to protest the war by promoting peace the way they went about this was by deciding to wear black armbands with a peace sign on them. However, even before they could wear them to school the school board heard of their…

The state that I was born in has established a process to determine the level of knowledge gained during a school year. The Oklahoma Board of Education has a requirement that every student take standardized tests at the end of each school year. These sets of tests are commonly called “EOI.” EOI stands for End of Instruction test that are supposed to determine the level of knowledge gain on the corresponding academic level on a yearly basis. Also the test is a means for the state 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 they’re not smart enough…
