Mother Cabrini High School

from what I hear from my peers, a pretty decent one as I have been at for going on 13 years now. My journey to where I am now was definitely not without extreme effort and sacrifice. I would have loved it my story went more like the focused high school student who graduates and immediately goes on to an institution of higher learning, gets her BSN degree after just four years,…

too”. (Stephen Covey) In today’s society academic integrity has become a problem. More than 70% of students admit to cheating. Some of this is due to pressure from society to get good grades. Studies show that the cheating starts as young as middle school. Google defines academic integrity as “the moral code or ethical policy of academia. This includes values such as avoidance of cheating or plagiarism; maintenance of academic standards; honesty and rigor in research and academic publishing”.…

made the goal of participating more in class thanks to my grade eight teacher who suggested that I should break out of my shell and share my great ideas more since I never actually did in elementary. I tried my best to try to participate in summer school transitioning to grade nine, and it was the hardest place to ever participate in class. Almost everyone in the class was an advanced placement student and rose up their hand way faster than I could ever think! I felt that I would never catch up…

Drawing the Line between Classes Class systems have been around for ages. During the olden days people would have the job their parents had. Even if they had other dreams or aspirations they were forced to have the job their parents had. Other countries and cultures had a similar class system in which people could do whatever job they wanted as long as the job stayed in the class there parents came from.

(Wiki Catch-22) Catch-22 never made the New York Times Best Sellers List but it did keep selling. By 1963 the book had sold over a million copies and was a huge success in the United States along with Great Britain. (Wiki Catch-22) So why would schools across the United States want to take this great American Novel away from their children? This book is a very truth unfolding story about the struggles and problems soldiers face. Catch-22 was written by Joseph Heller and when originally…

I agree that students are judged to be either book smart or street smart because my experience in Pattonsburg High School confirms it. In my small school of merely 75 high school students, students are considered either book smart or street smart, and like it states in the book, the two groups tend to not get along very well. I think that society believes that in order for a person to become successful in the world they must be book smart; however, I believe that some students are challenging…

It is often said that a college degree is better than just a high school degree but a college degree does not assure you a job. In the article College, Jobs and Inequality it states “That means recent grads have about the same level of unemployment as the general population.” In other words the author of the article…

My life goals are to complete my Graduate Program in School Psychology; this would lead me to fulfill my second goal, which is to become an independent individual who can be economically self-supporting and self-sufficient doing something that I enjoy and, in the meantime, helping the young generation. My third goal is to have a family of my own with a husband who is caring and devoted to his family. My first goal, at this time, is the most important one for me because this one can lead to…
