High school

brooding teenagers, it was a bunker inside of a warzone: high school. Among the crowd, one boy stood away from the wall. His arms weren't physically entangled with the rest of us, his blue eyes were slightly brighter, and I knew that somehow different. I later found out that he was…

Where you go to high school is usually not a choice that you make on your own. It depends on where you live, or if you attend a private school, how much money your family has. I spent the majority of my high school years in two different schools; Eisenhower High School in Lawton, Oklahoma; and Sheridan High School in Sheridan, Oregon. Although there were some similarities between the two schools, they were so different enough that I was able to gain a good understanding of how students learn in…

High School is a place where people figure out how they wish to spend the rest of their lives. These are the options that students have after high school: attend a four-year university, attend a community and technical college, or enter the military or workforce.

Being a captain of a high school drill team, i’ve been faced with many obstacles and had to deal with a lot of different challenges. As you can imagine, 74 high school girls in one team can be very interesting. Especially when each girl has there own personality and some sort of an attitude. Learning to deal with them was hard but it wasn't impossible to manage. But what I can’t seem to get used to is there lack of respect and their attitude towards the things they “commit” to, in this case…

It has now became a clever choice that America has made almost one hundred years ago, because of the high school education there has been major growths in factories and industries. Today this same debate has come across the headlines of media against college. With the…

An obstacle I have encountered in my last four years of high school was transferring schools. This brought about an unexpected shift causing a setback in my high school career. This challenge has affected me greatly, but I have also learned the importance of understanding and accepting the idea of impermanence. I started off high school with all my middle school friends at Warwick Veterans Memorial High, just minutes from my home. I had phenomenal connections with all of my teachers, friends,…

High school is key to the future, but what future door ways does it unlock? Jobs are more prone to opening up to those with a high school diploma than dropouts are given. To go to college it is mandatory to have a high school diploma no matter what you do in high school.

The writing literacy objective for Brockton High School requires the students to argue a thesis and support one’s thinking. We did this by choosing whether or not The Ugly Duckling was appropriate for children to read. For this writing assignment we were required to provide evidence and explain our reasoning. Writing this essay was one of my favorites, because it allowed me to think more about my personal views and morals as an individual. I enjoy debating with people and hearing their personal…
