High School Musical

Rapids Team During the summer leading to my sophomore year, I tried out to be on the colorado rapids youth soccer team. At first, I didn't know whether I was going to make it or not but I tried my hardest. I remember the day perfectly. Me and 3 other friends their names are Abel, Wyatt, and Kendrick. We were all lucky and got onto the same team with our couch ben. The first try outs were hard only a few people made it to the team. When I tried out I was going to play as the goalie and I did…

Senior year is one that should be unforgettable. It is the one where you start to realize who you are and some find out who they want to become. We grow to know one another as a family, an East High Blue Ace family. High school has taught me countless lessons, like being the most popular is not important at all, getting to know the people you thought you would never talk to is a very favorable experience, and never waste a second on someone who wouldn’t take a bullet for you. There truly is a…

I MADE SUGGESTIONS/CHANGES IN ALL CAPS just so you can see them :) I belong to the community of dumb blondes. This community is a shortcut created by society; an automatic indicator of people not worth listening to. Its members are capable, yet compliant. Smart, yet silent. They understand their heads ARE made for nodding, not thinking. At first, I was confused BY my admittance into the community of dumb blondes. I never asked to join. I did not even know this secret society existed until I…

I grew up the same way any other boy would; I went to the pool with friends; I played every sport possible; and I loved everything about myself. Then the questions started coming. “What is wrong with you? Why does your chest look so weird?” Whenever I had my shirt off I appeared to be a different person. At the pool I turned heads as I walked around, playing sports I shocked teammates when I changed my shirt, and eventually I even began to ask myself what was wrong with me. I learned that I…

In the article, Revenge of the Geeks by Alexandra Robinson, there are a lot of allusions to stars and their popularity in school, and how some of the biggest stars today were some of the least popular people in high school, and being different and embracing how different you may be will lead you to success someday. The author uses three different techniques to get her point across, one being the tone or her attitude toward the subject. “Taylor Swift’s classmates left the lunch table as soon as…

During my sophomore year in high school, a friend of mine convinced me to try out for the majorette team at my school. I never thought in a million years that I would ever be a majorette. In fact, I didn’t even know what a baton was or how to even twirl one. Even though I was clueless I was ready to learn all that I can. I remember trying out and thinking I would most likely not make the team but I still went out there and tried my best because I believe in the slim possibility that I had a…

Everyone has a high school experience. There’s generally two sides to every school. The outsiders and the popular kids. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s lots of different kinds of people that make up the popularity food chain that is high school. Some people think high school is the best years of your life while others tend to disagree. There are several differences between being an outsider and being in the popular crowd. One of the first differences between being an outsider and being popular…

In middle school a young boy named John had some shy problems and he was afraid to talk to people and make new friends because he was afraid to make a fool of himself. He will have a small conversation with someone but after about one minute he'd dart out fast. He would try to talk to some people but they would have nothing in common with them and he'd get shy and walk away feeling like a fool. There was this one kid in his math class who he thought they had a lot in common and one day they got…

the statement that high school contained the best years of my life held no merit to me. I recall my freshman reputation presenting itself as one commonly found among the introverted crowd; unpopular, lonely, and scared of stepping a toe out of line. I felt trapped by dullness and repetition I’d brought upon myself. This instance rings itself as one of my most noticeable moments of high school purely for my stunted assimilation into high school culture; I avoided clubs, after-school plans, and…

I think what sets me apart from other students applying to the University of California is my innate work ethic and drive to be successful. I look back to when I was a child playing catch with my dad in the backyard for hours at a time. I have had a drive to be successful and work hard to accomplish my goals since I was little. This is evident in my years of dedication to baseball. When other kids were playing with their friends or watching television, I was out practicing my craft. Every day,…
