Lincoln High School

my mind to it. Unfortunately, the entire foundation I had attempted to establish at a young, but fragile age, was about to be ripped out from underneath me. As a sophomore in high school, life’s first significant milestone is reached. I turned sixteen within the first month and a half of the school year, and already had set up my driving test in Carrolton. My mom bought me my first…

Golf is probably one of the most frustrating sports, but it’s a great one. It forces you to make smart decisions and makes you strong mentally. It can drive you crazy at times, but also be very giving at other times and that’s exactly why I love it. No one can just be good at golf without putting in the work which is how every sport should be. I’ve spent countless numbers of hours on the golf course and still have room for vast improvements. Golf has done wonders for me, but none of it would of…

"I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down" -Abraham Lincoln I would like to participate in the bridges to success program because it will assist me tremendously in my journey to a better future. Without the program I would encounter financial adversity and go through the tedious process of achieving my educational goals alone. On the other hand, with the program, I would have a constant day to day reminder that someone believed…

doctor sounds much safer financially than being an actor at the end of my acting career i was earning double my sisters salary. Does this mean i had twice the success as someone who attended college? Does college always guarantee that I will get a high paying job like my parents, who constantly hammer this idea into my head? To what extent does attending college assist any teenager reach…

Family and social status can have influence in a person’s identity, but can never truly make up the entirety of it. People who are raised in poor conditions are capable of turning their lives around and accomplishing great feats. Abraham Lincoln, arguably the greatest President of the United States, grew up in a household stricken with poverty, yet he was able to overcome what he was born with, form his own identity, and leave an illustrious legacy. In addition, these sentiments also go both…

hear the quote daily to cope with the mistakes we make, but do we fully understand the context of the phrase? I ask this because it is important to recognize that literally nobody is perfect. That means that Bill Gates, Michael Jordan, and Abraham Lincoln have all made millions of mistakes in their lifetime, yet we still regard them as some of the most successful people in the history of America. I believe that success, rather than being a number in the bank account or a shiny car in the…

It is like an extra practice that we need. As a Pakistani, this Common Core Standards is a right and a good way for students because in Pakistan the teachers teaches math at a high level and this seems like a high level for me. Also, there is a benefit of practicing to work together in groups.
