John Ehret High School

best times of my life. While living in Texas I really enjoyed going to a school that didn’t require uniform like they would in Louisiana. Eventually we returned home, and because I did not find life in Louisiana as interesting as Texas I cried for about four months. To make matters worse, I was out of school for 3 months before finally getting enrolled in a school that I didn’t know existed. I wasn’t able to go to school because I lived with my grandmother whom did not have legal guardianship of me. The fact that my mom is incarcerated and refused to sign over guardianship to anyone caused a major dilemma in life, not just school. Not having an active father in my life made the process much more difficult for me. If I had at least one of my parents available I would have been in school. After all of that madness I ended up starting school in the spring time. Not long after being in school I realized that even though I was out of school for a while I was still ahead of all the students. One pro to living in Texas is the school system was much more advanced than what we had in Louisiana. I was in 6th grade learning things that were taught in 5th grade in Texas. I guess everything happens for a reason. As I got older I eventually readjusted to life in New Orleans again. Breezing through middle school, and graduating in 2011, I decided to challenge myself and joined the honors program at John Ehret High School. Though the work was tough, the fruits of my labor begin to ripen.…

my life changed in one day: Some of the worse things that can ever happen, end up saving your life and making you grow into the person you are today. It all started when I was in John Ehret high school; I was a typical eighteen year old senior skipping school on the weekdays and partying on the weekends. I was dating a boy named Todd that I thought would do anything for me and loved me just as much as I loved him. We did everything and went everywhere together; we hung out at his house a lot…

to learn the basics and do well in school. Some ideas in school were completely foreign to me, such as writing poetry and summaries for books. I began with learning the alphabets, and attended summer school to improve my reading skills. According to educators, teenagers who arrive unable to read in any language face tremendous pressure to earn an independent living while racing to catch up on more than a decade of academic building blocks. It was nearly impossible to learn in class without…

I heard that there are different formats of essays so I expect to learn all of them and use it accordingly. Similarly, I assume that presentations are common in any subjects. I anticipate in learning the different ways to effectively deliver messages to the audience. Another style of writing I would likely use is team collaboration. I personally expect a lot of fun with team assignments because there were not much of them during my high school years. I would enjoy sharing ideas and arguing…

college I would attend and would I be able to succeed. I imagined how collage would be, would I attended a large university or a small local community college. Students may even worry about the ACT and SAT and how successful will they be when taking those two extremely important tests. Luckily, I choose a school that didn 't stress me out about those test scores. I choose Lakeland Community College. It was the fall of two-thousand and fifth-teen my senior year in high school! With so many…

Ever since I could remember, my father would always play our Steinway piano in our living room. The sound would always flow through the walls. My father would let me sit on the bench with him and I would press the keys down. The excitement that rushed through me was uncontrollable. When I was seven I had the privilege to take piano lessons. I was not enthusiastic about practicing, but I stuck with it for nine years. After my lessons stopped I continued to pursue piano as a serious hobby. I have…

As a child I was spoiled my parents did not know how to say no to me since I was the first born. I noticed that I was spoiled between the ages ten and twelve. This affected the way I perceived things and how I believed that the things around me I should have whenever I wanted them. When I first started high school at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School I learned solitary, being kind to others, and reflecting on the past. I knew I was spoiled at a younger age but did not do anything about it.…

same story told in the past, and I share his position. Though I concede that it is difficult to transition to new procedures, I still maintain that it is necessary for public education to change paradigms in accordance to the changing generation. For example, a student may lose all motivation to go to school once he learns that a college degree does not always mean a job. Although he already dislikes spending countless hours at school, he may be turned away completely if he is told he needs a…

Being a freshman in high school is extremely hard , especially when all your friends went to a different high school. Here I am at Rocky River High eating lunch alone, shy to talk to anyone, and just being “a loner “ people would describe me. Meanwhile at Butler High all my friends are happy reunite with one another , have class and lunch together. The feeling of being alone sucked. A couple weeks into school they had volleyball tryouts. I decided to go since I knew how to play. Tryouts lasted…

God doesn’t only have to be a serious but can also be fun and with friends. Some fun ways include going to club and paying games then listening to a leader speak or going camp and listening to talks by the guest speaker. At both of these you are able to have fun and be serious while trying to expand you faith. Another purpose of Young Life is to show that you have people that want to support you and show you that you aren’t alone in your journey. They want to show you how to get through the hard…
