goofing off and doing anything except for his school work. I remember the days of recess being some of the most fun I’ve had at school. All of the days outside seemed to roll into one. It felt somewhere between a warm summer day and a crisp autumn noon. There were dew drops on the grass that all had just about evaporated into the baby blue sky. The sun was shining bright overhead, with the occasional puffy white cloud…

If the school excuses absences for college visits, why can they not excuse volunteer work? The Community Link works in three hour shifts, “9:00 to noon”, “then noon to 3:00.” Since the school requires volunteer work not only to graduate, but also many colleges want prospective students to have volunteer experience, schools should allow students to attend one of those shifts per month or bi-monthly without…

High school is an experience most people look back on with fondness. I agree with that assessment to an extent. I look back on my time in high school as a time and I wonder why I look back on it with so much dread despite the memories I hold of it. I will never forget my high school experience from the first day to my first friend to prom night. The crowd of people rushed around me with the sound of the first bell still ringing in my ears. I saw the dark statue of a knight holding his sword and…

put cash in my pocket and I went to the market again to buy my required items. This really makes me tired. This incidence introduced me with the importance of credit/debit cards and ATM machines in our daily life.  Temperature on Saturday noon was little bit high than previous days but it was very hot day for me because I could not use my room air conditioner or fan. It is very easy to switch on the air conditioner or electrical fan of our rooms and taking rest in a pleasant room environment…

United States miss the mark to exploit on the ability through hard work. High school students’ math score, during an international math competition, underperformed compared with other countries. In Intelligence and How to Get It, Nisbett explores how the educational systems of East Asian countries put importance on hard work and not as much on inherent talent: He explains how the Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans excel at math compared to Americans. He emphasized that students in Japan attend…

a study in South Korea, “The findings highlight the potential adverse consequences of disappointment in high-stakes testing and suggest that the risk of suicide may be significant among high achievers too” (Wang 345). Their study shows that stressful tests can increase the risk of suicide in teenagers. By moving finals after break, it would lower any chances for students reaching extremely high levels of stress because there would be plenty of time to recover from the long break. Having finals…

I now appreciate the art programs and focus on art in my education growing up. I always had art at least twice a week in elementary school and I had a class every year in high school. It is simple to take something so accessible to me, like art, for granite. Because of my exposure to this subject, I fell in love with it. I realize that with art comes expression and that can be so powerful in a society that is influential…

What makes college classes much more different from high school classes? Is it the deadlines, school work, teachers, time managing, or maybe all of the above? Many students figure it out during the beginning of first semester, they’re slowly being drained with class work, exams are coming their way and learning so much new information at once begins to get to them, trust me I can relate right about now. Students begin to realize this isn’t high school anymore, it’s much more serious now.…
