High Noon

Act. In the Act Michelle has planned out two meals that met the health requirements for students to be able to get the nutrients they need. Type A lunch is for students in elementary school and type B is a lunch for students in middle school through high school. Michelle Obama says “There are studies that show that kids who are eating their fruits and vegetables on a regular basis actually do better in school” (1). Students are getting healthier lunches by staying at the school, if they go off…

isn’t as high as I’d like it to be, but is good enough for the time being. I’d much prefer it to be around a 3.4 or 3.5, so I’m not really satisfied, but it’s still early enough that I can change it. I have no grades lower than a B-, and an A in my Astronomy class, which certainly help, but I’m very nervous about possibly dropping lower. A major problem I’ve had in that regard is messing up due dates between classes – if I have one class requiring assignments to be turned in on one day at…

it does, once when I was a sophomore in high school something really bad happen and it changed my life. One day around June right before school ended, it was my “Friend” birthday so he wanted to hang out but my mom didn’t like me hanging out with anyone she didn’t know so I lied to her and said I was hanging out with someone else but really I was hanging out with him and his friends for his birthday. Anyways him and his friends picked me up around like noon or maybe later but once he picked me…

to understand and complete my lessons as quickly as possible so I could go outside and play. I was never forced to sit still in a classroom listening to teachers lecture for half the day. Even during my high school years if I started school by eight am and worked diligently I would be done by noon and if the weather permitted I did my work outside. “Plenty of people throughout the world today find a way educate themselves without resorting to a system of compulsory secondary schools that all too…

school years, we are never actually given the opportunity to study the world through observation nor experiment. Contrarily, we are asked to “research” and evaluate matters that we can already provide an answer for without experimentation. To a recent high school graduate, science takes a linear form where a question is asked of them, them providing an educated hypothesis, them conducting an experiment through conditions laid out in a handout, them referencing…

Educational History Narrative I have received most of my education outside of school. The one person who has always left a lasting effect on me is Anthony Scalzi. My freshman year of high school I realized I needed a way to make money. A lot of my friends were getting jobs, and I didn't wanna be left behind when they had money to do things and I didn't. At the same time, I was a very shy person who hated interacting with others. The idea of getting a job terrified me since I would have to…

On Spirit of Service Day, I was associated with Student Senate and we volunteered at the FoodBank for the Heartland. It was a morning section, we left for the place around 8:30am and came back at noon. Our group was in charge of making food bags for children in need. Some students, due to the income of their family cannot afford meals. Usually, through having the family monthly income, the government determined which students to aid feed through public schools. During the weekdays, the selected…

In my initial years of high school I sought to discover myself. Encountering many challenges within my years. Everyone has a unique way of encountering them, which develops our own character. My greatest strengths being my ambition and persistence to give back communities. My goals for my education is to increase my knowledge to assemble myself for life. Growing up in a family of 5 and being the youngest. In my family I was never opened to the idea of college. It was more of you graduate and…

The alarm clock screeches, sounding the end of yet another short night. Internal protests eventually subside as the millions of American teens roll out of bed against all of our instincts with one thought on our minds: I want more sleep. On the bus that thought consumes us until we lean against the window and sleep regardless of the bumps that crack our skulls against the window. In school, that thought pesters us, urging us to close out eyes for just a minute. As a student I often find myself…

Anyone that knows me will tell you that fall is my favorite season. From the vibrant fall colors, to just sitting around a crackling fire with family and friends. I love so much about the fall season. When the air gets cool and crisp, I just cannot help thinking about Halloween and all things frightening. My favorite place is Six Flags, it is a yearly necessity, for lasting memories, great food, and Fright Fest. As far back as I can remember, my family and I have been going to Six Flags. It…
