Eleventh grade

In my twelve years of school, I have had many teachers who left their mark on me. The teacher that has inspired me the most, however, is my eleventh grade art teacher, Mr. Palmer. Art became a hobby of mine over the fall break of my sophomore year; starting with learning to draw cartoons from reference pictures, I worked my way up to being able to freehand my favorite characters without looking at a picture. Many times, I tried to draw in different styles and mediums, but not until I took Mr.…

Dr. Martin Luther King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta Georgia. Dr. was an African American and both a Baptist minister and civil rights activist.

world for me. But for once I want something to be about me. Let’s start from the beginning, ninth grade to be exact. Oh god thinking about ninth grade makes me laugh and cringe. That year I thought the whole world was against me. The kids I hung out with were such a horrible influence on me, but I was too blind by hate and raging teenage hormones to notice. My “scene” phase was at its highest peak. My grades however were great. I had a C in math and couldn’t be more proud. While other students…

I was in ninth grade when I first learned about feminism, at that time I really didn’t think too much into it and didn’t think of it again until eleventh grade. When I thought about it again it was because one of the girls I became friends with claimed to be a second wave feminist, at that point I had no idea what the difference between a third wave feminist and any other was so I did a little more research. Over time i realized that there were four waves of feminism and each differed from each…

Through my tenth grade tennis season, I spent my time working with the new girls so they could quickly learn and compete with other competitors that had been playing much longer. Many of the girls that I helped were then able to teach the newer students just joining the team. We worked hard, and even though we were definitely not the best team, we had fun and learned from each other. The next year, which was my eleventh grade year, many of the girls from the year before…

school that my mom started to bring conversations about me and my family coming to America. I never had the thoughts of leaving my home. Along with the law about serving the military, I figured I was going to follow that after I finish eleventh grade; eleventh grade is the last year of high school in Eritrea. Therefore, I didn't think it was possible for me to leave my country at that age. Also, it complicated to leave Eritrea and move to other places. The government had developed and practiced…

as my ancestors. Nevertheless that would not stop my aspirations of being a great athlete. With the staggering height of four feet, two inches in the sixth grade it was no longer a possibility of playing basketball. Being short is not the best experience; there is lack of confidence, approval,…

An educational opportunity I have recently taken advantage of is the open access to AP courses my high school provides. Before I transferred to Lynwood High School my eleventh-grade year, the school I attended did not provide these courses. Now that I can take them, I chose the courses that will benefit the career path I plan to pursue. Before choosing my classes I looked up all the courses recommended for people wanting to become a dentist, the career I plan to pursue and chose those. It’s…

One of the most important levels that everyone goes through, is high school. High school in America is very different from High school in Colombia. The most defined differences between high school in Colombia and in America are the dress code, the grade system and the ability to choose classes. Recently, school officials have started to pay attention to the way students dress in high schools in America. Students here can wear almost anything, they can have the hair in the way they want, and…

In the event that your kid's beginning experience with "bad word" is in AN eleventh-grade lesson, or if their introduction to roughness by the period of, say, 10 is restricted alone to The Hunger Games, I herewith blame you for conjuring heavenly child rearing forces. In a media-overwhelmed world, wherever data voyages decisively as brisk as your Twitter channel masses, it may take the ensure of Captain America to stick with it truths of reality unfree. Also, a considerable measure of…
