junior/senior year i finished the whole season. The reaction during my freshman year would have been totally different then when I started my junior / senior year. If I were to start my freshman year I would have not finished the whole season, due to the teasing and “bullying”. For example some of the guys would try to match with me even knowing that they were stronger, knew more moves, and where on varsity.

It was your first year of school and it was as easy as pie, then, you went onto your second year, then the third, and now you have finally arrived in high school.

Skipping school for an entire year? Sounds too good to be true, but it is true. This phenomenon is called a gap year which defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is “a one-year hiatus from academic studies to allow for non-academic activities.” Many European countries are doing this method, where students take a year break after graduating high school but before college to give themselves time to do what they please without the anxiety and stress of academics.

Just to find out later on that they weren’t. I thought that this was going to be a great way to bring in the New Year; I was wrong. On the night of the 31st I was getting ready for the New Year’s Eve party that we have at my church every year. I’m always a part of the program, so naturally I was practicing. While I was practicing, I…

The Thirty Years' War was a great power struggle between Catholics and Protestants of Europe. Countries became involved for not only religious reasons but also political and economic reasons. Warring factions among the Protestants and Calvinists brought upon more unrest within the Christian community and it was only inevitable that a religious war would soon break out. Firstly, the Council of Trent led to suspicions of Catholic conspiracy. Moreover, Ferdinand stripped the political freedom of…

programs while enrolled in year-round schools. Given that the school runs through part of the summer, parents see this as being impossible for their children to expand their knowledge outside of school. “Many people believe that summers are valuable times for students to grow and learn outside of the classroom environment,” (O’Sullivan 410). However, a way to fix this would be to have the schools include these in their program. Offer the parents a type of summer camp run by year-round schools…

Year-Round Education Although some people are opposed to year round education because it interferes with their lifestyles, The United States should adopt a system of year round education, because children forget what they have learned the previous year and therefore fall behind in school. History Year Round school is an opportunity to keep kids in school anywhere from six to nine weeks in a row and then are broken up by two to four week vacations. This is called a track. Originally…

Year round schooling is a system that provides students with a longer period of education throughout the year by decreasing the amount of vacation days. It rids of most of summer vacation and replaces it with extra months of schooling. Although most students may think of this as inferior to the traditional arrangement, there are many pros and reasons to support it. Year round schooling should be enforced as it is beneficial for a student’s academic, financial, and social performance. It is…
