High School Musical

My fellow students, my teachers, and the faculty of Brookwood High School; today is a day that we have waited four long years for. Today is the day that we grow up and end our crossing over the bridge into adulthood, which in the context of our lives, is high school. For some of us, the bridge was short and sweet; these people ran over it like a child would run across the bridge over a creek while playing tag with a friend. For some of us, the bridge was bland and boring; like a grey cobblestone…

Hearing the alarm go off to indicate that there were only thirty minutes left until classes began, Daveigh groaned. There was no way she wasn't going to end up late today. Not because she was only just waking up, the seventeen year old had been up for hours, but because she had been so busy getting her makeup just right that she hadn't even bothered with her hair yet let alone her having enough time to go get coffee from the student lounge. The question was, which one was more important? If she…

broken and even gained. My family and I were now separated by a state. It took two moving trucks, three cars, and about one day to get the main part of our house to our new home in Ohio. The first day of school was even difficult for me because everyone was different from the students at my old school, East Noble. Let’s just say that when I moved from Indiana, my life got really difficult. This was the most difficult thing that has ever happened in my life. Less than a week after…

In high school there are various things to do, countless decisions to make, what to choose? The choices consist of art, dancing, sports, and so much more. With all of these oh-so-overwhelming choices, I found my place in the St. Thomas More Cougar Band and St. Pius the X Life Teen program. I have actually participated in the St. Thomas More Band Program since the eighth grade where I continue to be a member of the flute section. I first participated in the Life Teen Program, Edge as a seventh…

During my senior year of high school a majority of my graduate class became fixated on creating “The Ultimate Senior 2014 Bucket List”. They even created a Facebook page and group to get as many people as possible involved. Unlike the standard bucket list, the goal was to complete the list before graduation. Surprisingly, a large portion of the list was accomplished. My fellow high school graduates are not the only ones captivated by bucket lists. As a society we have become obsessed with the…

Your senior year was the best you could make out of it. You wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. You seem quite nervous about going out in the real world but you can’t stay in high school forever. High school went by really fast and it taught you amazing life lessons. Such as you don’t need to fit in with everyone because you are not everyone, you are you, so be yourself. Set examples be a leader when people need one, don’t sit back and assume someone will, stand up make things happen,…

perspective on the world and the people in it.I had just made a new group of friends considering that I was transferring into the Jr.High from the Intermediate school and I was trying to find my place or as said where I belonged in the world ,well at least that was what I was thinking that i was doing. With those friends I had made in the new school, I made many poor decisions, sadly more than the average teenager. I was surrounded by what I thought were good people. The “friends” that I was…

into high school I knew one thing; I wanted to get involved. Service was my way of doing just that. Throughout my four years of high school I got involved in Student Ambassadors, Student Council, and National Honor Society. These activities helped me to make a small difference in my school, while also meeting new people and making new friends. Groups like Student Ambassadors and National Honor Society offered opportunities…

each other in jest. Each member of my family has taught me important lessons, from how to appreciate poetry to how to be spontaneous and anything and everything in between. Being from such a large family has taught me more than what I’ve learned at school about love and compassion and reveals more about me than any award that I have…
