Sophomore slump

Ever since I was a child, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. Until recently, I did not know that I wanted to be a music teacher. When I was little, I loved helping my friends through hard work or teaching them how to do something. In the fifth grade, I started to play my first instrument, the trombone. I instantly fell in love with how fun it was to learn a new piece of music and the joy of correctly playing a hard composition. In the sixth grade, I switched instruments to the tuba. When I…

Wing Commander, command the armed drill team, attended Nationals Drill Camp, and General Franks Four Star Leadership Camp. Although my dedication does not end there, I also play cello in our High School chamber orchestra. First of all, during my sophomore to junior summer, I attended a month-long Russian immersion camp, which I completed with a perfect grade. Even though knowing attending this camp would make me yield most of my summer, I did so without hesitation knowing it would further my…

One privilege that I have had that many others have not, was being admitted into International Thespian Honor Society my freshman year. The rule to becoming a thespian is that you must have had spent one year with Mrs. Pla-Guzman, the head of theatre department, you must have completed a total of two shows, either teching or acting, and you must be in her class. I had only been in Mrs.Pla's class for a total of two months, and I had just begun rehearsals for Oklahoma, when I received an email…

Despite the fact that my ultimate goal in college is to attend nursing school, I still thoroughly enjoy activities that involve speech and debate. My school is small, but still offers a wide variety of debate clubs and competitions. I have participated in several, but the one that has had the most influence on me is mock trial. Mock trial is a competition in which students are given a fabricated case complete with characters and evidence. The case is split into teams of plaintiff and defendant.…

In response to the 1st Step GR, Disqualification from the Apprenticeship program. Ashleigh Robinson feels that she was unjustly disqualified, there was a lack of progressive meetings with the committee, and she was unaware of the areas she needs to work on. After much debate and review the company feels that Ashleigh was in no way unjustly disqualified from the department. For 15 months Ashleigh has haphazardly participated in the program from obvious lack of engagement, to not turning in…

Attending Cass had many ups and downs, I created new bonds and watched the old ones either fade away or come back even stronger than before. When I arrived on the first day I was proud of myself, ever since I was a kid I wanted to attend Cass Tech and now one of my dreams came true. At Cass I met a variety of people, all from different paths of life, although I began at Cass on the quiet and temporarily stoic side I still met people who enjoyed the things I enjoyed and became friends with many…

away from his movement around the league is that every team he plays with he is noted as extremely coachable, a leader, has a great attitude, and shows respect and class. Tebow’s will to push forward and take everyday as it comes, even if he is in a slump, translates to every aspect of life. The book portrayed a figure I have since looked up to for an example when times are rough. In athletics players have bad days where nothing seems to be going their way, but to…

that I approach my writing. It has brought me to see the deeper meaning of things and to continue to understand my everyday encounters.

These inspiring words really did change me as a…
