My passion for K-State will make my college career so much more fun, and also filled with many more activities than high school. I hope to be involved in marching band, I also want to have a job on campus, and help my fellow students, and I also want to go to a lot of KSU sporting events with my friends. I think the fact that I care about more than just academics will reduce my stress level too, and make me generally happier too. I hope that the more accepting college atmosphere will improve my…

American students, Korean students focus on education the most during the high school years. When most high school students enter into universities, once they attain their rights in adulthood, they focus more to enjoy their freedom. Most students drink alcohol to express their freedom and it became part of the Korean universities’ culture. Due to this reason, alcohol was necessary for most of the school events such as school field trips and explorations. But I wondered why students expressed…

culture has been derived from a community that encouraged group activities in schools and sports, but remained mostly private and individualistic as a whole. In all actuality, I have no clue where I picked up my open-mindedness, but I believe this has granted me the ability to respectfully learn about other cultures, their beliefs, their activities, and their instruments. My culture is pretty heavily based on music: mariachi, band, Norteño music. This part of my cultural context definitely…

Schools spend an excessive amount of money on sports, and it really needs to stop. High school dropout rates are higher than ever, and it seems that no one even cares. The school system cares more about sports than the students’ well-being. Schools should cut spending on sports and use that money to educate the future of America. America is the only nation that puts its focus on sports instead of education. Because of this, students who play sports view school as a waste of time. They no longer…

their everyday lives as well as their faith. After college, I plan to join the Peace Corps and spend time volunteering in a developing country to better the living conditions and education of those less fortunate. Currently, I enjoy teaching middle school aged kids on Sunday mornings as well as volunteering with the other youth and children's programs at my church to obtain a head start on reaching my goals of helping others. Through my church, I have also been given the opportunity to attend a…

I am honored to be considered for the National Honor Society program at Bryan High School. To me when I hear that someone is part of this program I imagine a student that is equally prepared intellectually and is also involved in the community. The qualities that a student in NHS should possess are scholarship, leadership, service, and character all these qualities make a good leader and great a role model to others. I believe that I have all the qualities listed to be a successful member of NHS…

an Accidental Band Geek,” Erin Dionne describes the life of a high school band student thoroughly. Erin Dionne keeps the book interesting at all times, by describing the drama that shows up in a high schoolers life. This book is written informally, making it seem as if the book is somewhat of a journal or diary. These reasons alone will make any reader jump at the opportunity to read, “Notes from an Accidental Band Geek.” As a result of Erin Dionne describing life as a high school music student…

Andrew, I truly believe that trade schools or some call them vocational schools are vital for positively influencing students particularly in the Alaskan villages. Believe it or not there are villages that do not have broad band availability let alone dial up capability to support cell phones, laptops or computers. This leaves the Alaskan native population void in those areas without educational opportunities. However school districts like Galena City or Mt. Edgecomb in Sitka offer vocational…
