Permian High School

I’m going to start off by saying that I wasn’t a very logical kid in high school. I tried so hard to be someone I wasn’t. You defiantly can’t change the past, or even predict the future. But, you can control what you have right now. My grades in school started to get very bad. Because I wanted that I don’t care about school vibe to come off. I eventually failed every single one of my classes freshmen year of high school. The worst part was that I was a completely different person to my…

I once read a quote that stated, “Literacy is the most single significant skill needed to function effectively in school, work place, and society… it is vital to a successful education, career and quality of life.” I find this quote to be true especially in my personal life. I now realize how important it really is and what an impact it can have in a person. I remember teaching a 55 year old man to read and write; his self-esteem was so low he felt he could not function correctly in the work…

I was anxious because of the scary thought: if I was in regular high school, I would be graduation by next spring. It made me think about how short life really is and how much passes in a blink of an eye. I was scared and I am still scared. The reason why is because once I graduate, it would be me all alone in the real…

Essay one The first semester of a college’s students career will be one of the most exciting yet stressful semesters of their college career. Coming straight out of high school or a job, college will be a very different kind of education any student has taken in their academic career.

So many students decided that working is the best option right after high school because you need to make money if you want to be fed and live under a roof. I grew up being conflicted by the people around me facing problems with money and having to work every day just to support themselves. It just made me question what was…

nine o'clock. With school starting at 7:44, the first two periods seem like a waste. Students aren't learning to their full potential, and as a result aren't getting the grades they are capable of. Over twenty percent of all high school students fall asleep in school at one time or another. It's hard to learn while you're sleeping. Also, part of the reason why students don't get enough sleep is because they are up late studying. You can't expect students to come home from school, study, eat…

The age of first sexual experience hasn't gotten any younger — 17 in the U.S., and 16.5 in Canada. The use of condoms and hormonal birth controls had increased as of 2002 in the States, and in Canada, contraception use has risen — nearly 87 per cent of teens have safe sex. (This further suggests that abstinence-only programs may not work.) And adolescents here aren't having any more sex than earlier generations either. "In some ways, [teens] tend to be more conservative now than they were in the…
