High School Musical 2

lacrosse team my junior year of high school. Up until my junior year, I had played lacrosse for 10 extremely successful years. Growing up I was always one of the best elite lacrosse players in the state. As a result, I played for teams that represented Rhode Island and even New England. Lacrosse was something that came easily to me. The parts of the sport that did not come easy, I enjoyed working on to improve to ensure I stayed at the top of my game. The coach of my high school team also…

I was always taught that hard work, preservation, motivation and drive would excel and get me far in life. Outliers almost paints a different picture. Outliers states how luck might have to do with one 's success, such as succeeding and becoming a high ranking sports player. Outliers also mentions how Asians are better at math, because they practice more and if we all contributed at least 10,000 hours into a hobby we enjoy, we could be the best. All these possible reasons as to why, someone…

destroyed it and it was probably within 2 weeks of getting it, so I wasn’t interested for long. I don’t have much memory as a kid with reading and writing at home, because my parents never really forced me to read or write and I don’t ever remember being read to either. The only time I ever remember being forced to read something was when I got grounded for lying and my mom grounded me for the whole summer and made me stay inside and read the whole…

There are many instances in my life that shaped, formed, and helped me become who I am as a writer and a reader. There were certain teachers that got me interested in reading and later helped grow my love for reading. There were experiences that weren’t always so good but that didn’t make them insignificant to my development. Everything that I experienced could have had a different affect on another person. It may have even negatively affected them. However, in my case, because of how I was…

with (Detrick “Components of Music”). I have always loved to sing, and was an alto in my high school choir. Being an alto, I was always assigned the harmony. I have grown to have an obsession with harmonizing, and it is now easier for me to pick out the harmony that the melody, which feels awkward to sing. I am willing to expand my musical exposure, yes. I had an amazing choir teacher all throughout high school that worked diligently to expose us to all genres of music. I am able to appreciate…

“Dreaming Big” For my entire life, I have always been a dreamer. I fantasized about everything under the sun. Imagining clouds tasting like cotton candy and pet tigers on aureate leashes. I would also dream “realistically” about starring in High School Musical, becoming an international Pop Star like Beyoncé, or having a private limo. Needless to say, I have a lot of hope and imagination (sometimes a bit too much). I’ve always had it, and that is why my strength is my weakness. I struggle with…

stomach, nerves rushing throughout my body, excitement, yet also sadness for leaving my grade school friends summed up a drastic change to my morning: August 16, 2013. Coming into Notre Dame High School (NDHS), most of my closer friends in grade school only sought the negative characteristics of the school, therefore chose not to come here. One in specific being the neighborhood. Most people judged the school from the outside because of the area around it, but what really matters is what is on…

During High School ? Students in school should not have to have a job during high school. Even though society says that we should work, and even sometimes our parents say we need to, we don’t. It is proven kids who do not have a job do better in school due to having more time to study. As to while you’re at work, there is no time for you to study, or even do homework that may be due the next day. According to statistics, 58% of seniors acknowledge that their jobs interfere with their school…

Waking up before the sun on the first day of high school, I pictured myself walking into heaven. No more jail-like school uniforms that I’ve been stuck with since kindergarten, overly handsome varsity athletes everywhere, popular cliques that all the dorks －like myself－looked up to, and freedom. Freedom from being treated like a baby. I was practically grown. At least that is what I thought; it was only the beginning. I felt as if I was living the dream, and then I actually stepped on campus.…

My Favorite Mistake It seems like everyone has a special talent. At annual school talent shows I would come up empty handed trying to think of what I could perform. It seemed as though I didn’t have any talents that I could perform. I received outstanding grades, I could easily comprehend literature, and I was quick at solving math problems, but I couldn’t perform any of those talents for an audience. I blame myself for my lack of performing talent. I once was an excellent pianist. The…
