Lincoln High School

that separates me from others is my involvement in collegiate athletics. I competed in wrestling at both the Division I and Division III levels. Through wrestling, I have obtained a large amount of experience that will help me in physical therapy school. One of the greatest American wrestlers and coaches of all time, Dan Gable, once said, “Once you have wrestled, everything else in life is easy.” While life is in no way easy, this quote describes how wrestling prepares someone for the struggles…

Megan Lee Professor Christian English 100 2 November 2016 Managing Senioritis In today’s society, being a senior in high school is tough. This one year we are expected to decide what we are going to do with our lives by picking a career path to follow and going to a college that can teach us how to excel in that career path. We need to be able to dazzle these colleges and employers with not only our knowledge, but with our extracurricular activities, our skills acquired from jobs that we are…

not know well. Because I was so quiet, confrontation was something I tried to avoid at all costs. When I entered high school, I joined debate and competitive speaking, and it changed my personality forever. Because I transferred to the high school, I only knew a few people there.

The one class where I was able to be myself was debate. At…

I secured a face-to-face interview, that I would be able to explain why my grades suffered my freshman year of high school. I was hoping that once in an interview that a reputable college would take a chance on me, to take into consideration the bullying I endured, for me to showcase my academic abilities. Endicott was that school. In 2013, I graduated Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School and never looked back. With the help from Jewish Big Brother Big Sister, I was able to express my true…

education in hope that I will land a well paying in job in my field of study.

But with college tuition being at an all time high and student loan debt crippling most college grads, it is becoming quite a nightmare trying to pursue a higher education. It is time we put a…

Life is never what you expect. I thought I had my life all planned out. I graduated from high school, became the first person in my family to receive an undergraduate degree, moved around, experienced life, and started a career in the field that I always dreamt I would. I thought I would one day go back to school and become a therapist or social worker. After all, I work in child welfare and that is what all my colleagues did, so why wouldn’t I? But every time I thought about taking that…

that this career will also allow me to continue to serve the people around me. In the long term I would like to open my own firm and do some general contracting work as well. To obtain my dreams I am going to attend the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. The structure of the program is very broad and will be very easy to expand from. I will be able to get a lot of engineering knowledge from the architecture portion and the first year will allow me to get a better feel for design. The College of…

three or more people. Each serial killer has their own way of doing things. Serial killers differ from one killer to the next because they are different in the way that they kill. There are several differences between the Beauty Killer and the After School Strangler. Many things are different from the two, but the fact that they are both psychopaths remains the same. First, Gretchen Lowell is the Beauty Killer. The name Beauty Killer is a coincidence for Gretchen. The name comes from the…

have given myself the opportunity to be educated at a higher level than high school, which will allow me to learn all that I need to in order to be successful and eventually work in the career of my dreams.

What’s so special about Lincoln in particular is that it is home to the honors program, where the…

The experiences I participated in this last week are ones that I have been doing since I began at the Crisis Center in August. I did learn a bit about how to work with a diverse student population when visiting the school was Renee and Darius. I have never really worked with a diverse population until coming to the Crisis Center. As learned in my social work courses, it is important to treat each person as an individual, but not to single them out because of their…
