James Campbell High School

The world outside of northern Michigan is competitive, and I’m supposed to join it readily. By the end of high school I just want to still be a person that smiles at others in the hallway, and I want those smiles to be real. That’s really the only personal goal. Oh! I also want to give a commencement speech at graduation, I already have it half written. Next cross…

I am very thankful for taking this course as I feel I have vastly improved in multiple areas of my communication. I had never taken a course that involved writing a paper and then presenting a speech on it to the class. It was either one or the other, not both. That is what intrigued me to take this course before the semester started. For myself great strides were made in my ability to convince readers through the toulmin model, learned in this course. Help was received along the way…

to go to college, but I was to let him decide what he wanted me to major in. My first time at University of Mobile was when I went to the orientation.

It was not till one day that was towards the last week of my senior year where I realized I should 've been giving a hundred percent towards my school work. My math teacher, Mrs. Richie, who had blonde hair with blues pulled me aside to her giant desk after class while no one was in the room to tell…

Flowing cherry blossom petals are telling the end of spring. I was a middle school student in Japan who did not have any interest in playing sports. It was about lunch time, and everyone was eating lunch. I was eating my lunch and thinking what I am going to do for the rest of the lunch time. After I ate my lunch, I begun to walk around the campus of Oyaba middle school, the school that I spent two years of my precious adolescence, and I saw my friends, Shugo and Takumi, playing basketball at…

His class color was orange, and since they cycle around, that was to be mine. Perfect, I thought, I can keep being him. I was just as smart as Avery. He made good grades his whole life, so I of course had to. My brother went out for tennis in high school, so when I became a freshman, I tried out. I made the team and the comparisons to Avery followed soon after. How we setup to hit the same, how we served the same, and even how we ran the same. My coach, Stockwell, started saying I was better…

to a small group of high school students. These students had unknowingly started a case that would end up making a huge impact on how the public school system may limit a student’s freedom of expression. Starting at the beginning, students John Tinker and Christopher Eckhardt wished to protest the war by promoting peace the way they went about this was by deciding to wear black armbands with a peace sign on them. However, even before they could wear them to school the school board heard of their…

The state that I was born in has established a process to determine the level of knowledge gained during a school year. The Oklahoma Board of Education has a requirement that every student take standardized tests at the end of each school year. These sets of tests are commonly called “EOI.” EOI stands for End of Instruction test that are supposed to determine the level of knowledge gain on the corresponding academic level on a yearly basis. Also the test is a means for the state to…
