High school is filled with many diverse students, however they can all somewhere fit into one of these three categories; The “Perfect” Students, The Lucky Ones, and The More Complicated Individuals. There are about 2,000 students in the average public high school. All of them work and act differently, but there are certain characteristics each of them have that represent one of these groups.

In the winter of 2015 I met my best friend Anisa Henry she had all the significant good qualities a best friend for life had. She was charming, intelligent, compassion, and a goal to become a doctor. Ever since I met her I’ve always been on my top game because I have always assumed our friendship was built on each other academic successes that would be the spinal cord to the gates of glory we call college. During the months we were developing our friendship I was excelling in all my classes…

Lady Bird: A Movie for the Coming-of-Age Time to Fly https://m.imgur.com/YC9GMaw The setting: St. Francis Xavier High School, a Catholic, all boys college preparatory. Plot Twist: It’s located in Sacramento, California. When I first saw the trailer for Lady Bird, I was initially disregarded the film as a cliche, sappy coming-of age movie.

September 6th, 2016. The first day of my freshman year of college. Not only was that my first day, it was many others first day as well.

However, she still wanted to use her new found freedom to have some fun before all the adult responsibilities became her everyday life. Penelope was growing frustrated. She believed the required…

Thinking Maps Personal Experience Being a teacher was not my dream nor one of my dreams when I was young. It did not occur to me that one day I would have the noblest profession in the society. When I was still deciding what to pursue in college, my mother was hoping that I would choose education as my college course. She did not interfere, so I decided to follow what I desired that time. She did not ask for any explanation, but I still gave her my side. I told her that being an educator is…

Annually a lot of international students have left their own countries for the sole purpose of seeking higher education in Universities abroad and with this the population of international students is increasing every time. Moving to another country is a major life transition that can have potentially detrimental effects on people’s mental health (Mallinckrodt & Leong, 1992). Hess (1994) postulated that, in most situations it is very common for people who face an unfamiliar culture that during…
