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.…

filmed on campus” (pro-tip: some cute boys do not find that answer funny). The thing is, I am not entirely sure why I chose to attend Maryland. Compared to the majority of people, my college application process was somewhat untraditional. Throughout high school, my spring breaks,…

govern the natural world. I am one of those strong advocates, but although everyone has this perception of English as a key that opens the door to many opportunities, to me, my freshman year, English was dreadful. In middle school they advised us that high school would be no child’s play, I came in freshmen year expecting a ridiculously hard teacher who would assign us strenuous work. Instead I met an affable teacher and although I revered my teacher for being amiable, I detested the fact we…

I believe that the school bullying appear on every primary school and middle school, though the high schools’ situation are better, it still exist on high school. It is seem like that the bullying case usually relate with the teenager. The most of the teenagers have been a part of the bullying, whatever the bully or victim. Meanwhile, the relationship during the campus bullying case is really complicate. Someone want to reinforce the bully, getting to involve a bullying group. Some like to…

Health science is the route I shall take after my days in high school. I have known this for a very long time because I want to help my Hispanic community. Although, I would like to about another subject. A subject that has haunted me ever since the day I learned what a period was. English for some people comes naturally, they write fluently and very courageous without any worries because they know their piece will come out wonderful the first time. I need to re-read almost everything that I…

Courage to Speak up I have always hated high school from the day I left middle school, until my junior year of high school. For myself, it felt like being in jail; I say that because you had no freedom, you had to eat what they provided for you, had a dress code, and behave how they wanted you to. The beginning of my junior year of high school was a difficult time for myself, so I made the decision to drop out. Months had gone by, and I realized that it was a huge mistake. I returned at the…

tables, and also my states and capitols. When I got to middle school I picked up the trumpet for the first time. I loved to play and loved my teacher, but I had braces which got me to change my mind on band class till I became a freshman at Gooding High school. This band experience was rough, because I had 4 separate band directors, due to the schools funding issues and teachers not staying. With this issue,…

One goal I have for my freshman year is to succeed in my introductory courses. I do not want to just pass each course; I want to really understand the content and nature of each subject that I am currently taking because each course after the fall quarter builds upon the previous one. My goal GPA is 3.5 or better to be on par for medical school acceptance. I hope to become involved in research this year. I plan to apply to the STARS Scholars Program. I also applied as an undergraduate lab…

I believe I knew from “The School of Animals” that I wanted to become a teacher. High school showed me that I did not want to become a high school teacher. Young adults were not my portae. High school taught me a lot about myself more than education I believe. I lost and grew very important friends. I gained self-efficacy and self-concept. I learned time management and how to handle school…

The average person spends 13 years in school, just to acquire a high school degree and receive an education. However, in recent years, the U.S. Congress passed the No Child Left Behind Act: an act that requires states to administer assessments in order to receive funding from the federal government and to enable that all the states to have academically equivalent. In effect of this act, schools have now changed their entire curriculum to teach these standardized tests and pay their teachers…
