choice on whether to further his education or not, and many are heavily pressured towards college. I believe each individual should be able to choose the path appropriate for his needs with support and affirmation. By the time I was a freshman in high school, I was constantly being asked, “Where do you want to go to college?” “What do you want to major in?” “What career will you have?” At the time, it was exciting to think about the future and making all those “big kid” (emphasis added)…

than it seems. A major concern for reducing the size of classes is forcing schools to hire underqualified teachers. With the lack of space, administrators are forced to create classrooms out of closets and place portable classrooms on the playgrounds. High authority believe that for better achievement, teachers must alter their lecture style instead of focusing on the amount of students in the room (“Class Size” 2). Even if reducing the size of a class is costly, the question should remain,…

Your senior year of high school can be extremely stressful, from keeping up with class assignments to preparing for the next immense phase of your life, college. Preparation for college comes with a lot of important decisions. Deciding where you want to attend and how you’re going to finance the cost, are only a couple of questions that have to be answered. All of this can be tremendously difficult and overwhelming to students who have no clue where to start. Ms. Phoebe Smith set out to make a…

basketball, but I’m not very strong or coordinated. All through middle school, I was a B team player, so I was not that good. I didn’t really love basketball at this time, I only played because everyone told to because of my height. My freshman year of high school was the same story. I grew four inches going into my sophomore year putting me at 6’5”. This made me even more uncoordinated than before. So I didn’t play much my sophomore year either. I…

Aristotle once wrote, ¨educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all¨. Aristotle’s message is intended to be heard by high school students because it is important that our education system is created to benefit students. Students wanting to succeed and learn are more likely to achieve higher grades than students who slip into bad study habits and are not engaged in the classroom (Haynes and Berkowitz 1). In today’s society, many students are not becoming educated in an…

and SSS are important in order to help people from disadvantage backgrounds succeed and achieve their career goals. My participation in RAMP has influenced my overall college experience greatly. RAMP has helped me feel comfortable in my transition of high school in college with tutoring session, providing workshop, and an assigned counselor. Federal funding programs like RAMP/SSS are important because they provide an opportunity for people who generally would not have the chance to achieve…

I was a fairly quiet kid who did not like talking to people I did not know well. Because I was so quiet, confrontation was something I tried to avoid at all costs. When I entered high school, I joined debate and competitive speaking, and it changed my personality forever. Because I transferred to the high school, I only knew a few people there. The new and unfamiliar setting caused me to be even more quiet than usual, and in the first few days of school, most people did not even notice I was…

At the end of every high school year there is always an evil, beastly force standing between the students and glorious summer break; the final exam. A final exam is supposed to test one’s knowledge of the information taught throughout the year. Having these two hour test stacked back to back can only lead to high levels of stress. Without going into details, I am not the most proactive student. I am basically the person who won’t start a project until the day before it’s due or will be up late…

precautions can be taken to help prevent any type of serious and permanent damage. The number one problem we need to look at is school. This is the main cause for sleep deprivation in high school students. A subject explained by Ellin Holohan, was the fact that starting school early could actually endanger teenagers in high school and the people around them.
