High School Musical 2

To Feel Infinite High school is a place where teens have to deal with social hierarchy, teenage angst, and hormones. Loads of young adult movies try their best to portray and include this lovely time of high school life. A movie in particular that does it really well is about an alienated freshman boy who meets two seniors. The seniors take the boy under their wing and help him discover the world from a new perspective after everything the boy has been through. All at the same time the boy is…

possible at my school. I believe my experiences of stepping outside of my comfort zone and pursuing interests outside of the ordinary have given me a foundation on which to build the next level of my education. I am a three sport athlete, a straight-A student, an active volunteer in youth sports, and a section leader in my high school band. From the beginning, I have always been involved in sports and band, but as high school has progressed I have become more involved in my school. I…

Throughout my time in middle and high school, I was always surrounded with people like me, minorities but with the dream of succeeding. In high school I have noticed that more, but I have also noticed that something is holding people back. I have groups of friends that were born in the United States, and others were born in Dominican Republic or a Caribbean country. But the point is that whether we were born here, or over there, there are different traditional values pointed to gender roles…

Failure Happens In the sixth grade my father dragged to a wrestling practice at Milwaukie High School for the youths league. I was ecstatic about the whole thing even though I didn’t know a single person at the practice. I met the coaches who were great at understanding that I didn’t know much about wrestling perse but knew a lot about grappling because I had done jujitsu before I had gone to any wrestling practices. Something no one knows is that after the first practice to see if you really…

Apollo: Hidden Oracle for high schoolers. You could tell that this book was written by high schoolers by the thickness of the book and the different type of words that are mostly used at a high school reading level. The reason why people look at the thickness is because most thick books are used by advanced readers and most thin books are used by beginner readers. Lastly, the book has a lot of types of words that are “high school friendly” and are easily understood by high schoolers. I…

Currently, during my senior year, I have conquered my anxiety and it has made me a better person as a result of it. My freshman and sophomore years when I had anxiety or panic attack I would not be capable of going to school occasionally for days at a time and would miss school work and important events because of it. Now I am able to resist the anxiety and continue with my life despite the struggles that I am faced with and I am an exceptionally strong person because of it. Some people let…

Bryan Dyson Being Comfortable has been a real struggle for me these past years i’ve been here in holmes.6th grade for a 5th grader is scary, not knowing what is coming for you. 7th grade becomes easier because you already have an idea of how junior high is. 8th is all about reflecting over 6th and 7th grade. But it’s not always about problems, stress and sadness, there's also good times, like when we went to camp duncan in 6th grade, when I performed in the V-Show in 7th grade, And when went to…

I was up scared questioning, “What if they don’t like me”, “what if make a fool out of myself, I could not just call home and get picked up.” After what felt like days of worrying, we got dropped off at the high school, where every camper was huddled in a group so excited. I already felt like an outcast. There was a girl I recognized amongst the group, her and her sister were in my French class, so I gravitated towards them. I sat with one of them, Elizabeth on…

Gonzaga Prep I am looking forward to attending high school. All the movies make it seem so scary to go to high school, but I am excited and a bit nervous. I have many friends that either have attended or attend Gonzaga Prep and came out loving their experience and I hope I can too.I was definitely scared the first day of school because who is it a little nervous on the first day? Although Gonzaga Prep will be more challenging than the previous schools I went to. I am ready to accept this…

eighth grade. I walk into school and the sudden realization that I am the oldest in the school. Knowing nothing of what the year will have in store, I venture to my first class. The excitement rushes through my veins, a brand new year, lots to come but deep inside the fear of high school is prevalent. My knowledge of the High School is insignificant, but I recognize I must get good grades or my placement next year will not be the greatest. Rumors about how the High School is even more strict…
