Having been an elected officer of the prestigious National Honor Society essentially enhanced my leadership and scholarship. The secretary job taught me vital awareness, responsibility and attentiveness. Having gotten involved in extracurricular activities at London also dramatically changed my self-perception as an individual worker. More specifically, my role as a design editor in Yearbook practically forced me to familiarize myself with the corporational system. I learned to adapt new work…
with Devon, who had questions about assignments he had failed to complete in the few days before. I found myself asking so many questions about the circumstances in this moment – “What is his home situation like? Does he have any extra curricular activities that are sucking up his time? What is his family support network like? Do we know why he hasn’t completed these assignments yet? Is he understanding what he is being asked to do?” – but they fell on deaf ears, because I failed to ask them…
A Typical Teenager In my opinion, being a teenager is the hardest part of your life. The majority of people don't like them or understand them. Being a teenager is the hardest part of your life because you’re confused and you don't know what you want to do with your life. This is made even worse by older people who think all of them are crazy, loud, annoying, or argumentative. This becomes apparent in J.D Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye”. In the novel, the narrator Holden Caulfield, is…
Passion Will Be My Paycheck I could sense all 32 of their hearts beating. They were nervous, very nervous. They gathered their flags and headed to warm-up. They were awful quiet for a group of teenage girls, but rightly so, they were about to perform their first winter guard show. Myself and the other co-directors, gave instructions that they listened to very carefully. “Smile, chin up, and have fun.” The girls responded with multiple anxious questions. My words gave them short term comfort as…
Growing up, I was always surrounded by inspiring well-rounded people. My introduction into medicine came at an early age. My entire family line, including my parents, are all nurses and doctors. I have been inspired to take the medical route since I was a child. The most I knew about science was from the Magic School Bus and Bill Nye the science guy. Even though I knew little about that subject other than being surrounded by scrub suits all the time, I couldn’t see myself pursuing any other…

Growing up in a house with three sisters was a very interesting childhood for me. My parents raised all four of us and it could not have been an easy task. We were all very close in age and became the best of friends. Through the good times and bad we always stuck together. Even in school we saw each other, had the same classes, teachers, and friends. However our lives are so much different from each other 's. Yes, we all were homeschooled and yes, we all have the same family, house, and schools…
In school, many subjects are taught to students including English, math, history, and science. Students spend a lot of time in a classroom learning about events of the past, memorizing formulas, and computing formula after formula, but some students make it through school without learning the basic skills that should be developed at a young age in order for them to succeed in their later lives. Teaching students how to repeatedly solve a math problem or understanding is not enough knowledge…
One of the founding pillars of STRIPES is that we are non-judgmental towards our patrons. Briefly explain what being non-judgmental means to you, and why you believe it is essential to our mission. To me, being non-judgmental extends beyond the general definition of not judging on the basis of one’s personal standards or opinions. In its simplest form, non-judgmental is acceptance. It means being accepting of others and their situations without blame and condemnation. In addition, to not judge…
decrease the amount of stress homework puts on students. Homework affects a students grade more if they receive a zero than a hundred. Also, homework put pressure on students because they must decide whether or not they should attend outside of school activities or complete homework. Homework is harmful to students because it causes stress, lack of socialization, and grades will drop…
