Lazy high school students will do anything to get out of a job. I led a few different groups in my drama department, who never wanted to be working on theater. They were the type of people who would come up with any excuse in the book to get out of work. Many fell under the category of a logical fallacy. An illogical fallacy is a persuasive way to make people think a certain thought with no real basis or evidence. One of the most popular is Ad Hominem, where someone attempts to discredit…
delving into volunteer work, the source of that feeling became clear: my struggle has served as the foundation from which I built my strength as an advocate for Appalachian health. Nestled in the heart of the mountains, my hometown did not have a high school, let alone a hospital. A dentist visited the town once a week and a few family care physicians had limited business hours and busy waiting rooms. Individuals cannot afford medical care, let alone transportation up curvy, mountainous roads,…
cast in a role, I have made an effort to be involved in the other aspects of the performance. Unfortunately, I still do not have much experience beyond this, other than a few roles in plays at Florence-Darlington Tech and drama club participation in high school and at Florence-Darlington Tech. My passion is acting, but I have yet to experience enough to be able to differentiate myself from others to directors. As a result, my auditioning skills and ability to make myself marketable is lacking. I…
I have lived in Athens, Georgia my entire twenty-six years of life. I went to the same high school in Athens that my mother and father both attended and my parents know just about everyone in Athens in some way or another. Even though Athens is a college town, there are people that have lived here for generations and never ventured out. My mom’s side of the family is from rural Oconee County and full of farmers. My dad’s side of the family is from Jackson County and full of factory workers and…
It would seem that they are not doing the best that they can, citing that in Ron Wolfe’s “Too Many Students Pursue Worthless Degrees”, 2012, he states that the degrees in the fields of math and science for the high paying jobs in the industry are some of the least popular among students, that’s not good. He goes on to say that most of the degrees that are earned in those fields are often earned by foreign exchange students, who take the knowledge back to their…

“People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt. When I was in high school in the 1980’s, college was for the very academic students most of my high school classmates went on to a vo-tech school and trained to be mechanics, beauticians, plumbers, carpenters, electricians or joined the military. I was a good student and I was accepted into a college. I began college not having a clue what I wanted to study nor…

I am still deciding what college to go to, currently I have gotten accepted into 5, but I am most interested in Emporia State for there nursing program, I still very much want to be a nurse. I have been thinking about going further into that career, after that I was thinking about becoming a tech surgeon or a neonatal nurse practitioner. I haven’t really decided…
Beginning high school, I was troubled with how I would fit in the community. I was asked to join the broadcast team during the fall of that year. I decided give it a try since I enjoy technology and videography. I was never too knowledgeable about football, nor would I ever imagine myself running the entire show and announcing the games. I believed I solely belonged behind the scenes. Four years later, I run the entire broadcasting crew, announce every game, and know so much more about football.…
such as “fifty thousand bucks in cash” which was offered to Neely to go to Tech this needed to be said a long time ago. This contributes to Neely’s recovery because he is surrounded by old Spartan football players and some of his close friends in high school. Also Neely can catch up to where everyone is and what everyone is doing. Also to visit the place where he grew up and to see the field that he worked on for his high school days. although Neely didn’t want to come back he felt that…
