just come out of the blue. Failure is seen everywhere in life especially in school. Students stress a lot over school and lose focus on why school is so important, students must have a comfortable working environment. A student in the Anaheim school district goes to school on a daily bases for 8 hrs Monday through Friday and some even attend on Saturdays for at least 4 hours. More than half of the students stress out over school and classes and the environment the students are in…

went up to a person and started to explain to the person why he wasn 't going to graduate. To begin with, the person didn’t know what he was talking about until he asked him and started talking to him. He explained that he didn 't want to finish high school nor go to college because he didn 't have anyone to make them happy or feel that he accomplished something for someone. This made many people realize that there are students that don’t have the support of anyone to keep them motivated into…

The average student thinks of school and sees a prison. He despises the rigid schedule and depressingly early start time. I, like many other students, have felt incarcerated, as I have sat through history lectures and algebra lessons. Lone Jack High School (LJHS), the place that I have spent the past five years, can feel that way with its prison gray walls and blockish structure. However, over time, I have grown content with these features. Aspects such as the library and the dynamic student…

Some high schools even start to use them as necessary educational tool in classroom. Bring graphic novels into high school curriculums to support teacher education is a highly charged issue and has been debated in a long time. In…

I was about to go to an after school club, when suddenly I remembered that my music teacher said I could come to earn my "Rainbow Belt" for the recorder. No one else in my grade had it yet. No one was even close, except for my best friend. He didn 't know what I was about to do. I ran down the hallway with my recorder. Looking back, I 'm not sure whether it was the need to be the first, or that I loved playing my recorder. It was probably both. Later, I walked into the club, proudly displaying…

Many people find my family dynamic strange. My family structure is not a picture perfect family. My parents are separated and both seeing other people. My only sister is 5 years younger than me. My Dad came from a religious family where as my Mom did not. They read me bible stories and occasionally brought me to Buddhist temples, mosques, and gospel churches. I did not grow up with a strict religious background but I was introduced to religion and taught to respect everyone’s faith, making me…

for seven hours for my high school and college classes. I have to have that balance in order to get through the school year. Its as if another responsibility has been added onto my already overloaded plate. I have dealt with his health issues since I was in sixth grade. Along with my father being sick, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away in January 2013. That was a tragic event in my life, and I still had to be able to focus on both college and high school classes as…
