In my interview the subject I chose was my cousin, whose name shall remain anonymous. The subject, a 12 year old girl, currently attends a public junior high school and is in the seventh grade. It should also be noted that this is the subjects first year in junior high school. She does not suffer from personal issues that may produce bias and retains good grades. She also does not regard herself as part of “the popular crowd.” The interview with the subject lasted approximately 30 minutes, and…

Every high school student has pride, but I believe that they either have excessive pride, or no pride at all, there really is no in between, in most cases. Do not get me wrong, I think its great to have a lot of pride, but keeping your pride or any type of achievement/milestone in life should not have to be showed off. For most high school students I believe that there are three types of pride, the first type being social media pride, second academic pride, and sport pride which is the best and…

My identity formed in accordance with my experiences in life so far. Tragedies, celebrations, and ordinary, everyday life. I assume my identity will continue to shift and be shaped by lessons I learn and things I do. Some people know who they are from the beginning. Some don’t find out until later in their life. Others spend their life living in the shadows of their superiors, their elders, or their mentors and never find out who they really are. The journey to finding who I was started when I…

to get their diploma or not, it’s not fair at all. It’s time for a change and in fact FCAT is a part of that. The main effect of FCAT is the dropout rate starting to rise which makes it impossible for most kids to graduate, get good grades, attend college, and also cause embarrassment.

Most kids drop out of school not because they want to or they’re forced…

is many responsibilities one must take when one is taking college classes as a high school student. Another responsibility I must take is to make sure I keep up with deadlines in each of my classes to ensure my assignments are never late. Responsibility is a habit of mind that is always good to have in and out of the classroom. My mother taught it to me when I was very young and for that I am grateful because it is very useful in my college courses. Engagement is my other habit of mind that is…

Are children more confident because they are oblivious to the pressures the world can lay upon us, or is it wired into the adolescent mind to be indifferent about self-esteem? The study uses different ages, between 11 and 16, and gender to find the best possible answers to when self-worth and self-esteem are introduced to the adolescent mind and are their values different over time. 605 adolescent French students that attend PE (physical education) classes are questioned using several different…

Years ago college in our world was not as popular as it is now. More and more young people are going to college after high school and will be the first in their family to do so. In her article “A Case Against College” Linda Lee brings up that college is not necessary. She points out all the negative aspects of college and none of the positive. She fails to grasp the reality that college is important and that its importance should not be downplayed. People should not take this article to heart.…
