The Meaning of High School “Particular individuals who might never consider dropping out if they were in a different high school might decide to drop out if they attended a school where many boys and girls did so.” -James S. Coleman. This quote illuminates an unfortunate truth. Imagine a very smart student in school. This female student is in 11th grade and performs well in and out of the class room. Now let’s assume that she has some friends that aren’t so intelligent. Her friends are always…

College athletes are a part of some of the most hardworking students at a college. They put in lots of time and effort to do what they do. Student athletes are very strong individuals. They balance their grades in school, while maintaining good skill levels in their sports, and also balancing their personal lives and any other clubs that they are in. The problem we encounter today is that most athletes are dropping out and are struggling for financial reasons. Most athletes go to classes, and…

Who knew that band in high school had such a surprise in store for the new students. On top of the changes from middle school to high school already being terrifying. My experiences throughout high school band were enjoyful, prideful, and exhausting. Starting from the fun treats that band came with, to the long hot sweaty hours spent on the football field practicing our hearts out for every football game. I definitely would be a different person, if it wasn’t for the band experiences that I had,…

A well-known public figure that I would like to talk about is Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson. Even though he is well-known, and one of the highest paid actors around, he didn’t always have it as easy as he has it now. There are several instances in his life that could have defined him and had negative consequences that would affect who he is now. Dwayne Johnson’s family moved around a lot during his childhood, following his father’s job as a pro wrestler, and at age 14 his family relocated to Hawaii…

yelling chants for football players. However, there is more to cheer than just that. Even if girls standing on sidelines cheering at football games is not a sport, there is also a competitive side of cheer. This kind of cheer can be very dangerous because of the physical strength it requires. It can cause many different types of injuries, even some of the same injuries caused by playing football. Some activities cheerleaders do can even be more dangerous than the things football players do. They…

During their time in High School, many students get involved with after school activities. Whether they are in sports, a club, or in a job, they find a way to occupy themselves with things outside of school. But a lot of times, these activities can become consumptive and take away a lot of our time. I faced this problem the first semester of my junior years as I battled to balance football and my job with school. Prior to the beginning of my junior year, I had been working out all summer in…

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…
