Throughout my time in high school and seeing all of the graduation requirements that come and go not once has community service come up. I personally think it is a great idea. Helps us high school students give back to the community. How many people come to sporting events, support clubs, and donate their time and resources to the high school out of the kindness of their hearts? A lot, especially in a small community like ours. The other thing is I think that the term community service is always…
Expectations of High School Junior high is two years where it is comparable to the most awkward years. That is why most people can not wait until high school. I would say most people compare and contrast high school with their high expectations. Tv shows and movies and parents persuaded many upper elementary and junior high students including myself of what to expect out of high school. Tv shows and movies gave me high expectations of high school since they all showed the students not…
According to Smithville High School’s 2015-2016 handbook, if you have a certain number of tardies you lose your driving privileges for a duration of time. I strongly disagree with the policy that Smithville High School has put into effect that states that if you have a number of tardies during your semester, you will lose your driving privileges. This policy should be dropped for many reasons. I believe this will harm students more than it will help them because if they can’t drive to school…
Over the past decades, attending college has been stressed to all high school students. Many students are lucky to survive the struggling years of high school let alone make it to college. The students that are prosperous in attending college usually drop out or get pulled into the partying craze. Specialty businesses look for college educated people to hire that have a degree that meets requirements the business searches for. All high school graduates should attend college for at least a two…
A definition of reflection is a thought or sound being bounced off the body without the absorption. When words or thoughts are thrown at a person, it may not always have a positive outcome. If those words are turned into an experience of something bigger, you have the ability to jot it down on paper. In the next few paragraphs the points of where my heart, mind, and hand are in the assumptions of this course will be read, and also the experience that has brought me to look into CCU. First, my…
talking about some pros and cons of homeschooling from what happened in the past until the present or near future. Homeschooling is mostly about having kids taught at home the same knowledge as an average person would have been taught in a regular high school except with one on one sessions with each other. It makes it so kids…
Before I enrolled into your English class, I took English 307 in the fall semester of 2014. Also, I had taken another English 100 course with a different instructor. For many reasons, I immediately dropped that class in the first week of the semester. I don’t remember the instructor’s name, but right away, I knew his class wasn’t for me. His technique of teaching didn’t fit with my learning style, and his assignments were getting too repetitive. I wasn’t learning anything that would be helpful…
someone’s life. Numbers and percentages can speak for themselves there is a great difference between those who have attended college and those who haven’t. Workers with a bachelor degree made 40 percent more than those who just have a diploma from high school but that percentage has increased to 80 percent jobs and businesses nowadays are looking for people who have the motivation to work hard and passion. College is a great symbol of one’s determination that a diploma is…
misbehaved that year, there were serval fights that occurred. The teachers decided they had enough and started assigning weeks of silent lunch for fights. It was awful, I absolutely hate silent lunch that’s what I was looking forward to the most in high school. Our end of the year field trip was one to remember. I do not remember everything from it but I do remember going to the big sand area, it was so fun even though there was bad weather I still had a blast jumping and flipping in the sand. I…
Everyone has a goal in life, and each goal can be met if the effort is put in to achieve these goals. Goals can either be physical accomplishments, mental, or even social. The only way a person can meet their goal is by deciding whether they want to put the effort in or not. To some, they might think their dreams will come to them easily, or they will just be given whatever they wish to receive, but I have learned that is not the case. Through basketball, school, and home, I have learned that…
