through our wrestling carriers so I did, making my number one goal, “An undefeated season.” I worked so hard from there on out to accomplish my goal and my senior year I had the satisfaction of completing this goal. Unfortunately I did not apply this to school, until the Summer Transitional Program. Through the program and the year I am excited to feel that same feeling of accomplishment and excitement after fulfilling each academic and social goal that I set for my self. The University of…

the movie whether it may be verbally or nonverbally this film portrays many of the interpersonal communications behaviors. This film is a satirical and comical movie portraying a high school with the typical “mean girls” clique and the other cliques for example the jocks, the nerds, the prep and more created in high school.

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…

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.
