amazing. But once you get in high school it is like it all goes away. There is no more recces, you have to switch class rooms all the time, and P.E gets boring. You also have to go from being the big sixth graders to the big eighth graders to the small ninth graders. Who might I add get pushed around and sent to the back of the lunch line because of seniority. I have to ask “Do you like lunch?” Well if you do, you are going to hate high school because the lunch absolutely sucks. Some of the…

basketball. I would not say that I am the best but I also would not say I am the worst. I, personally, took an interest in basketball in the sixth grade and it grew from there. In sixth and seventh, I played in parks and recreations. Then in eight, ninth, and tenth grade I played for our school. Eighth and ninth grade we had undefeated seasons and in tenth grade we only lost one game. We lost that game because we were playing the Leonardtown girls for a third time. As always it is hard to win…

Summer Transition Academy. Cited as a ‘best practice’ by Wheeler and Miao (2005), a summer transition academy for low achieving students may help to alleviate academic deficits. Similar to the Freshman Focus course, the summer program would provide opportunities for students’ academic remediation and support in study skills, reading, and/or mathematics (Cauley & Jovanovich, 2006; Neild, 2009; Wheeler & Miao, 2005). Cited by Neild (2009), Chicago Public Schools created such a program for students…

I thought. I said that I know my strengths and weaknesses for example, one of my strengths is that I can usually catch on pretty quick to what is going on around me, but one of my weaknesses is that I don’t really try as hard as I could. When I look…

Fitness Analysis In the beginning of ninth grade on my twelve-minute run I got 2400 meters; soon after on the posttest I got 2900 meters.
