interactions with technology. Looking back, however, I realize that technology has influenced what I do and how I think from a very young age. From playing video games and memorizing the keys on a computer key board as a child, to doing various projects in high school and college, to using an e-reader I have immersed myself in a culture of technology without much conscious thought. I think that many people have this same attitude of adaptation. They are introduced to and continue to use…

My sophomore year I made the biggest decision in my high school experience. I made it into Miami Valley Career Technology Center, and I decided to switch to that school. I ended up choosing to go to MVCTC because I knew it would be the best opportunity for me. This school would allow me to have a fresh start in a more mature setting. This school allowed me to get a jump start on my career in criminal justice. MVCTC was a high school only for juniors and seniors. It had three giant buildings all…

of a high school is how many people try to go about their four years of education, however this will not help you grow into a better person. High school has been a place that can be compared to a weight room for me. I go to the weight room to grow my muscles just the same as I go to high school to grow my ideas, education, and morals. “I’m a peacock, you gotta let me fly!” a quote by the most loved character, Terry Hoitz, describes how everybody in high school feels. There are days in high…

We often witness school violence in the classrooms, hall ways, and outside in the school parking lot. Teachers and administrators tend to jump in to separate the students from hurting themselves or to prevent any worst harm to students around them. Most of the teachers and administrators always think about the reason the fight started but, they often forget the effects that the students both the victim and the students who started the fight could potentially be left with. Students who…

vigorously hoping to see my name on the junior varsity drill team list. Doubt started to creep slowly into the back of my head. I kept comparing myself to all the other girls at tryouts who were absolutely amazing. From their pointed feet to their higher jumps, I couldn’t even slightly compare to them. Every ounce of hope that I had soon dwindled down to almost nothing. I clicked the refresh button one more time, and this time it brought a happiness I would never forget. Seeing my name on the…

The unquestionable next step after high school is to attend college, but is it really the best option teenagers have? Why would young students and their parents invest tens of thousands of dollars on a college education instead of attempting to start a business or make investments in real-estate or the stock market. For many, if not most, college is the right move. Students who are brilliant in the fundamental subjects like science, math, and english and who have a true passion for what they…

advisor. I took two days to decide that with my family background, my grandfather picked fruit for a living and my mom picked and packed growing up, I could make the students understand that working hard in school and continuing their education post high school could help them get more out of life than merely staying at a menial job. My first year was difficult. I soon realized the material provided by the district was redundant as witnessed not just personally but by the students’ loud sighs…

ago, the Clearwater site allowed their students to either walk or bike to a certain destination over the lunch hour for food, known as open campus. The last time this was available was my 7th grade year. Nowadays, school lunches are lacking. As high school students, we are always running and gunning and burning endless amounts of energy. When school lunch comes around, us students have a large appetite. School lunches will definitely not fill up a hungry student. What is the perfect…

Imagine this, Ellie Smith is a young girl in intermediate school, whose family comes from a poor background and they cannot afford to send her to school with anything other than hammy down clothes. The other students bully Ellie for looking dingy and not having the latest fashion. All the young student wants is to go to school and feel comfortable in her own clothing, but that does not happen and Ellie stops going to school. With her lack of attendance, Miss Smith fails her classes and intent…

stupidity. They are inserted into infants´ brains once they are deemed strong enough to handle them. People now have no need for ¨schools.¨ Once a large enough group of people had turned fourteen they were permitted to go and visit the ruins of ¨high schools¨ in order to see for…
