One jumping jack, that is all it took to change my entire high school experience. I was in physical education class during the fall of my freshman year when it happened. I lifted my arms up, and when I lowered them I heard a pop, and felt extreme pain in my right shoulder. I went to the school nurse, and they told me that I had dislocated my shoulder. The nurses were not able to put it back in place, and I had to go to Boston Children’s Hospital. There, they struggled, but were eventually able…
My experience at Northview High School has prepared me in many ways to take the next step towards my future. Here at Northview I have learned many lessons, both good and bad. From being a student at this school, I have learned a lot of things that I should no longer do, and refraining from these things should give me a more successful future in college. Along the way, I have also learned plenty of lessons that have helped me better myself as a person and also as a student. One thing I have…
viewpoint validated, as it was very obvious she enjoyed her time at Mitty. Throughout that day, I was greeted by many people, freshmen, and seniors alike, and all were friendly. The positivity just broadened my favourable view of Archbishop Mitty High School. I also know that Mitty can offer me a lot in the athletics department. During the guest program, I had the opportunity to meet the varsity volleyball coach, both as a math teacher and as a coach. At the Open House, I had a chance to meet…
In my rush to imagine I had totally forgotten my experience in high school and my observations. All of my teachers interacted with each other and it was not strange to see them pop into a…
tough on me going through the tiers of the educational system was dealing with bullying that either happened to me or my friends while we either walked home, rode our bikes home, ate lunch, or simply got pushed around by those bigger than us while in school. The worst one to face was the most ironic as well, Brendan was the smallest bully we’ve encountered, but also our biggest problem as well. One day while we were simply walking our bikes home until we got to the place where we could ride on…
When I first arrived at Sanderson High School I was fundamentally flawed in my approach to academics. I was ignorant of how much importance there was in my level of focus and effort. Although my mind was sharp my will was lacking, I still had the mindset that homework and studying weren't top priorities but more something to do with spare time. I would do poorly and then spend much time reflecting why I didn't get an A in an easy class or at least a B in an honors class. Now my GPA is rising…
1.) If I were working with a high school student who asked me if I had every smoked marijuana, I would probably tell him that we are not meeting to discuss me. However, I would be open to sharing that I was once his age and I know that the peer pressure that students experience in high school can be difficult to deal with. I am not too sure that I would ever feel comfortable sharing my personal information, because clients are not coming to hear about what I am dealing with, they are coming to…
Introduction When looking back at my experiences from Elementary School to High School, there are always two people that immediately come to mind. These two people are my parents '. They are the reason for all of my success academically and in my life up to this point. I believe the reason why my parents where such an impact on my educational success is since they were so involved in my school and they want me to be as successful as possible. My parents were not crazy dragon parents, but they…
struggling with seniority rule (i.e., custom of respecting the elders) in Japan, I remembered my experiences in junior and senior high schools. As opposite to two participants, I did not have problems with keigo. Maybe that was because I watched many Japanese drams that contained characters to use keigo very often (e.g., campus-life stories). However, for the first few months at my junior high school, I could not understand why many of the seniors were behaving bit bossy or spoke down to younger…
My first experience working in a low income community was when I was a sophomore at Georgia State University. I was a member of a Post Readiness Educational Program (PREP). My role at PREP was to go to low income middle schools during the week and help seventh and eighth graders with homework and talk to them about how to prepare for high school and what they will need to do in order to succeed. When helping the students with their homework I realized how incredibly smart they were, yet they…
