Most students see high school as the calm before the storm of post-secondary due to the fact that most of them are uncertain of their future. In fact, numerous seniors that have already matriculated still are hesitant about their chosen career paths; several still deciding their fields of interests. Although the high school curriculum incorporates required courses to aid students, the structure can be altered to bring out the most of its four years. The compulsory course of Careers and Civics in…
experience, they express what they feel. The dispute between if teens should or shouldn’t date in high school is very belie. Although there have been many facts proven that teens should date in high school, one may believe that teenagers should not be able to date in high school because they are not mature enough emotionally and…
and I am here to discuss my goals in high school and goals leading into college. The next four years i will be attending high school, I would like to see myself achieve at least a 4.0 grade point average, if not higher, and maintain it. I believe this is very important to my high school education since I haven`t done well in my previous schooling and feel like I could have done better. However, if I am able to get a high GPA in the next four years of high school, it will help me be able to be…
High school students are burdened with the amount of credits that they have to complete in the short four years of high school that they have. The credits range from twenty credits to twenty-three credits. I feel that making each student finish one-hundred hours of community service in order to graduate is unfair. It also makes no sense because the average number of students that go to a high school are roughly four-hundred. That means that if every student has to do one-hundred hours of…
Throughout high school I have volunteered and have been an active member in my community. Through Key Club and National Honors Society I have completed over 50 hours of community service to date and I am still regularly volunteering. I also bell ring through Salvation Army around Christmas time periodically. The past two years I have volunteered at "Zooloween Boo" and "Egg-citing day at the Zoo". These two events give children the opportunity to take part in holiday festivities. Another event I…
vocational high schools in the country. The highly competitive nature of these programs makes them highly sought after by many residents including myself. There are five vocational schools located within Monmouth County, but students can only apply to one, and only one student from each town is accepted. It was my dream to attend one of these prestigious schools, but events do not always unfold as planned. The entrance exam was not as difficult as I thought it would be, and I was in high spirits…
of a high school is how many people try to go about their four years of education, however this will not help you grow into a better person. High school has been a place that can be compared to a weight room for me. I go to the weight room to grow my muscles just the same as I go to high school to grow my ideas, education, and morals. “I’m a peacock, you gotta let me fly!” a quote by the most loved character, Terry Hoitz, describes how everybody in high school feels. There are days in high…

Everyday, teens go to school. Six classes, seven hours, five days a week, They all learn the same things. So, how do you set yourself apart from the crowd? In a country based on standardized tests, you have to work hard in order make yourself stand out. So many people just barely get by in life because they are afraid to work a little harder to make themselves better off. Students do not realize the importance of getting good grades and involving themselves in their school and community to…
after being out of high school for a few years can be difficult, hopefully my journey will be rewarding. Graduating high school back in 2013 I have to adapt to my school surrounding as well as face some outside barriers. Being a single mother, i am always worrying out finances. My daughter will always come first; although, I didn't have her in high school, now her needs come before mine. So, if I had to pick between school supplies and…
