Nathan Bedford Forrest High School

to caring. My freshman year of highschool, was wild and also nervous about being the younger ones in high school. I didn’t care about anything, beside my grades in school. I was a great student in school, I made excellent grades, and I got along with everyone. The first semester of my freshman year, I was playing volleyball. I had games at least two days a week, and practice everyday after school. The first semester was almost over, Thanksgiving had passed and Christmas was right around the…

like it was his last game. Day in and day out he left it all on the court. Will’s father, Steve instilled this work ethic in him since day one. Steve was a pretty good basketball player himself. He never played college, but he excelled at the high school level. Steve and Wil both shared the same dream, to play at the University of Kentucky. It didn’t work out for Steve, so he decided he’d do everything in his power to help his son reach that elite…

Teaching Again tells the story of a college professor going back to the basics, where his teaching experience started, teaching high school students. This is an experiment and experience that many would be too afraid to do. However, Dr. Poetter seems to grab the bull by the horns and jump into the world of teaching again. Dr. Poetter was kind enough to help out a fellow teacher, who had an overloaded schedule, for the semester, taking on one of the freshman English classes. It is evident, that…

or Jen as some like to call her, was born July 24th, 1970, in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, Illinois. Jen Townsend was the name she grew up with through out her high school and college career, but on October 7th, 1995, her life changed when she married David Claeys, a man from a town smaller than the size of her entire high school.

early 1900’s some American schools started using a year around school schedule but did not become a wide spread education system till the last two decades (Sindhu Nair, 2012). The school boards have been opposed to changing the traditional school calendar to the year around school calendar. Should America change to the year around school calendars?

“In 2008, when President Barack Obama first took office, more than 1 million students didn 't finish high school. In 2012, just under 750,000 failed to graduate, representing a 27 percent reduction… ”These common-sense policy changes had a near immediate effect,” the groups wrote… What 's more, from 2008 to 2012, the latest year which comparable data is available, the national high school graduation rate rose from 74.7 percent to 80.9 percent, and there 's new data to suggest that trend will…

Years ago college in our world was not as popular as it is now. More and more young people are going to college after high school and will be the first in their family to do so. In her article “A Case Against College” Linda Lee brings up that college is not necessary. She points out all the negative aspects of college and none of the positive. She fails to grasp the reality that college is important and that its importance should not be downplayed. People should not take this article to heart.…

response usually falls along the lines of “because the school is pretty,” or “I wanted a big school that was near a city,” or my personal favorite “because National Treasure Two: Book of Secrets was filmed on campus” (pro-tip: some cute boys do not find that answer funny). The thing is, I am not entirely sure why I chose to attend Maryland. Compared to the majority of people, my college application process was somewhat untraditional. Throughout high school, my spring breaks,…

laws that govern the natural world. I am one of those strong advocates, but although everyone has this perception of English as a key that opens the door to many opportunities, to me, my freshman year, English was dreadful. In middle school they advised us that high school would be no child’s play, I came in freshmen year expecting a ridiculously hard teacher who would assign us strenuous work. Instead I met an affable teacher and although I revered my teacher for being amiable, I detested the…

I believe that the school bullying appear on every primary school and middle school, though the high schools’ situation are better, it still exist on high school. It is seem like that the bullying case usually relate with the teenager. The most of the teenagers have been a part of the bullying, whatever the bully or victim. Meanwhile, the relationship during the campus bullying case is really complicate. Someone want to reinforce the bully, getting to involve a bullying group. Some like to…
