Wichita Heights High School

laws that govern the natural world. I am one of those strong advocates, but although everyone has this perception of English as a key that opens the door to many opportunities, to me, my freshman year, English was dreadful. In middle school they advised us that high school would be no child’s play, I came in freshmen year expecting a ridiculously hard teacher who would assign us strenuous work. Instead I met an affable teacher and although I revered my teacher for being amiable, I detested the…

I believe that the school bullying appear on every primary school and middle school, though the high schools’ situation are better, it still exist on high school. It is seem like that the bullying case usually relate with the teenager. The most of the teenagers have been a part of the bullying, whatever the bully or victim. Meanwhile, the relationship during the campus bullying case is really complicate. Someone want to reinforce the bully, getting to involve a bullying group. Some like to…

Health science is the route I shall take after my days in high school. I have known this for a very long time because I want to help my Hispanic community. Although, I would like to about another subject. A subject that has haunted me ever since the day I learned what a period was. English for some people comes naturally, they write fluently and very courageous without any worries because they know their piece will come out wonderful the first time. I need to re-read almost everything that I…

Courage to Speak up I have always hated high school from the day I left middle school, until my junior year of high school. For myself, it felt like being in jail; I say that because you had no freedom, you had to eat what they provided for you, had a dress code, and behave how they wanted you to. The beginning of my junior year of high school was a difficult time for myself, so I made the decision to drop out. Months had gone by, and I realized that it was a huge mistake. I returned at the…

From the time when I was a young student in the public school system, I wanted to be a music teacher. Music has always been a strong pull in my life. I have learned most of my common school skills with music. I have always loved to sing with the radio when I was with my mom in the car, I loved to sing my abc’s, I loved to sing my times tables, and also my states and capitols. When I got to middle school I picked up the trumpet for the first time. I loved to play and loved my teacher, but I had…

to just pass each course; I want to really understand the content and nature of each subject that I am currently taking because each course after the fall quarter builds upon the previous one. My goal GPA is 3.5 or better to be on par for medical school acceptance. I hope to become involved in research this year. I plan to apply to the STARS Scholars Program. I also applied as an undergraduate lab research assistant position for federal work study. I would like to become involved and campus life…

called it “The School of Animals”. I would make up my own lesson plans, pretend to take attendance, and actually teach the animals. My mother did not enjoy me writing on the mirrors, imagining it to be a dry erase board. As soon as my parents were eligible to put me into preschool they did for fulltime. I was so excited to go every day. In my distract, our school started at Kindergarten and went all the way to either grade. I enjoyed being able to get familiarized with my school more and more…

The average person spends 13 years in school, just to acquire a high school degree and receive an education. However, in recent years, the U.S. Congress passed the No Child Left Behind Act: an act that requires states to administer assessments in order to receive funding from the federal government and to enable that all the states to have academically equivalent. In effect of this act, schools have now changed their entire curriculum to teach these standardized tests and pay their teachers…

In “The Allegory of the Cave,” Plato uses shadows as a metaphor to show deception and limited information. In Plato’s story, there are many prisoners in a cave. They are chained so they can’t move and all they can see are the shadows that are cast onto the wall in front of the prisoners by puppeteers. The shadows are not real objects, but the prisoners believe that they are because those shadows are all they know and see everyday. This metaphor that the shadows, illustrated by Plato, can still…

Many school in the United States have adopted a dress code for their students. Pro-Con.org states that as of 2008, 22 states in the U.S. had authorized school districts to institute dress codes and or uniform policies. Occupytheory.org gives a number of reasons why schools should not have a dress code, but there is always those against not having a dress code. Certain schools do have standards of what the students may wear. There is numerous parents and staff members against having a dress code.…
