during my final year in elementary. It was tough being the new kid in school. I was the odd man out in the campus. The Alien. The Outsider. People stared at me mockingly and I became the object of their taunts. However, it did not take long that I made some solid friendships and what was ironic of it all, these long term friendships I built was from the individuals who were making snide remarks at me during the early months of school. But it was not all a joyful ending for me, on my senior…

Parsons then begins to give examples of why the old “instruction” method of the high school level had worked. Parsons states that “teacher makes you learn” because if not proven by “standardized tests” they are the ones “blamed.” In other words, students have been taught partial responsibility for the past four years. The “job” used to…

research/review on the CFTR protein (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Protein). After working for many hours with my peers researching and forming a poster, we presented our poster with our model protein at the conference as one of few high school student posters in the undergraduate hall.

Sleep Hard, Work Hard: Schools Start To Early Remember when you had to wake up every morning at 6am so that you would be at work by 8. Well you 're not the only one. Most teens in America arrive school before 8:30 a.m. and that does not take into consideration the time it takes to wake up in the morning.

huge step, public high school. I was homeschooled from 3rd to 10th grade because medically, it was my only option. Taking that step was the best choice I 've ever made. The one school that stood out to me was Minarets High School, this innovative school that prepares you for the real world, and works with you, for you. Everything about it was exactly what I wanted for high school. I excitedly told my friends and family about it, and was frequently reminded that, "high school isn 't like the…

School pushes us and makes us go through tremendous amounts of work. All through the school year we are constantly put through paper after paper and assignment after assignment. That is just what high school is though, it teaches us lessons we could not learn anywhere else. In Mr. McGee’s class especially pushes us because of his overload of work that we are given. Still his class prepares you for the next level of education in college. Throughout high school there have been three ways to…

filled with both excitement and an overload of stress. While still attending high school and its workload, pile college applications and scholarships on top of all that. Most seniors feel ‘senioritis’ during their senior year and it getting past it becomes one of the hardest parts of senior year. We tend to forget that although we are so close to being done with high school, that we still have time and work left in high school that needs to be done. Evidently, a majority of the work that still…
