Lincoln-Sudbury Short Story

1159 Words5 Pages

Light overwhelmed the cafeteria as the rising sun penetrated the transparent windows and touched the stainless steel fixtures of the kitchen. A morning fog wisped across the courtyard, flooding it with vapor that would rise inch by inch, covering the benches and tables, covering the school. All life inside would be stifled without a sound. Boys, girls, teachers, staff, everyone. Life would cease to exist within the walls of Lincoln-Sudbury. The suffocating pressure of the impending school year pressed upon the brains and spirits of the students about to begin their first year. Their experienced guide and mentor stood before them. He glanced at the page of notes that he had prepared and set it down wordlessly on the table before him. …show more content…

These devils continually punish the damned in two ways, by their heavy guarding of campus and their refusal to provide a max-ed card. As underclassmen, you can have no idea of how torturous the campus aids truly are. They heckle and ridicule the students whom they forced to stay on the Lincoln-Sudbury campus. The demons ask stranded upperclassmen questions of conscience. Why did you not complete your community service requirement? Why did you not listen to the advice of your advisers to do your community service? Why do you act in such a lazy manor? They prevent the upperclassmen without max-ed cards from leaving campus by monitoring the elusive parking lot and threatening them with further damnation in the form of a detention. Each day they are revolted by those upperclassmen who refused their responsibilities and must remain within the confines of the Lincoln-Sudbury Cafeteria. ---O, my mentees and future upperclassmen, may it never be that a single soul here is found among the disturbing few condemned to spend their lunch break within these walls. I pray that not one of us may ever hear ringing in our ears the statement of denial: You may not receive a max-ed card. Disappear away from me into the cafeteria and its encompassing tortures prepared for you by the

    On September 10th, 2015, my fellow classmates and I entered into Mrs. Fountain’s room, unknowingly entering a room of despair. We had all forgotten that today was the day we would have to write our first AP Language essay. One of the main reasons we had forgotten was because we had been told, “There is no possible way for you to study. The only thing you can do is to come in prepared to write”. The day had started normally, laughter filling the room, with not a worry as to what would be asked of us.

  • Should Students Be Forced To Complete 75 Hours Essay

    932 Words  | 4 Pages

    Every year students face the pressure of graduating high school and getting into a good college. The new graduation requirement that will be effective with the class of 2020 will put even more pressure on students. In fact, the National Honors Society actually only requires 25 hours of community service. If the best performing students are expected to do only 25 hours why should the entire class of 2020 be forced to complete almost triple the amount NHS students are told to do. Many students will have to face the reality of not graduating all because they did not complete.

    Since GC is about to start finals, I wanted to focus on the topic of education in the United States. At this point, a lot of students are suffering from the stress involved with finals, and this stress really impacts each student in specific ways. Some people cry while studying, while others become angry trying to relearn all of the material from the semester. These intense feelings tend to make students hate the education involved with college, and they only stay at college for the hope of obtaining a better job in the future. This viewpoint on education can actually be witnessed in “Raisin in the Sun.”

  • Disparities In High School Essay

    460 Words  | 2 Pages

    Human development is a long and complex process, varying wildly from individual to individual. Some children do not speak until they have learned to form complete sentences, and others remain in the stage of incoherent babble for years longer than average. Likewise, advanced math occasionally clicks in the brain of a prodigal eight-year-old, whereas many adults can never get a grasp on algebra. Disparities such as these are quite normal, even good for the survival of our species, but in recent years, a developmentally stagnating epidemic has swept through our school and debilitated many students. While most children are able to walk before the age of twelve months, it seems that an astoundingly large portion of Central’s population has not reached this basic milestone.

    School boards have been debating if high schools should require community service hours before graduation. The two main points of view on the issue have been supporting the issue, or protesting it. The ones who oppose the idea do so because forcing students may cause them to see it as homework. The ones supporting the idea think students should experience the important lesson before graduation. Volunteering can be an important experience for students, but depending on the reasoning behind it could play more into it than the service at hand.

    When we reached school, on Tuesday, we were all scrambling for calculators and #2 pencils, becoming more anxious the closer it got. We then began shuffling into the room with rows upon rows of desks. Each desk was perfectly spaced apart from the next. I sat down instantly going through a checklist in my mind, of everything I was taught. Go to bed early the night before, eat a healthy breakfast in the morning, wear comfortable clothing, bring extra #2 pencils, take your time, and if you run out of time, fill in C. Four hours later, filled with timed test sections, we were done, and I finally had inspiration for my essay.
