Pros And Cons Of Poston Butte High School

We all remember how terrified, clueless and lost we felt during our freshman year of high school. By the time sophomore year rolls around, you have a decent amount of friends, you know where your homeroom is, and you 're pretty much used to everything the school has to offer. During my freshman year, I felt the most typical emotions a freshman would feel from starting a new school. Similarly, in the beginning of my sophomore year, I experienced some of the same emotions as a result of transferring to a new school. The ninth grade was not a great year for me academically, socially and emotionally.

At this age your social life is very important. I’m not saying you have to be the most popular or have the best reputation. But, you should try to make friends who will always have your back, because you never know what might happen. A good way to make friends is to join after-school activities life drama, ASB, and after-school sports. If you get yourself involved in these recreational activities, you will have more fun at school and with the people around you.

I’m preparing myself to raise a child. High school changed everything in my life. I one was good at math, I never had so many teachers leave at one time, my taste in friends was proven to be a typical high school experience, and my free time changed. After Senior year I’m not looking forward to adult for the rest of my

Life back then was worry free; I can definitely relate to Tom Brennan when he describes his juvenile self as a “happy, free, no fuss type of bloke” (P.76). As I transitioned into high-school it was much the same process, making friends, continuing sport and getting on with work. However, in saying that, high school was vastly different to my primary schooling and I was forced to face challenges that I didn’t foresee. I’m assuming this was relatively similar for you?

This essay will be discussing and answering all six assigned comprehension questions about the education of Omarina , a troubled student who got the support many kids never get 5)the two questions that were asked have very different impacts. The first question”what college are you going too” was asked to students in a more developed community where money isn't a very serious issue. This had a positive impact as it was implying that students have reached that level of education where they will continue studying after high school. While on the other hand kids in a more lower class environment were asked”if they are going to college or not”This would have a completely opposite effect compared the first question, as it was implying that not everyone has reached the level of education where they can not continue their

Catcher in the Rye Relevance The Catcher in the Rye is a common book used to educate high school students. But is it still relevant? Teens are having a harder time relating to Holden 's problems from “phonies” to all the “fuck you”’s(Salinger, p.g. 201). That is no longer a real problem to teens anywhere.

While at Nashoba, I have only had a few classes that have caused so much distress as my freshman World History class. I left eighth grade with a huge ego in history, but that was middle school and Mr. Sakellarion’s class was a whole new ballpark. Looking back, I should have dropped to accelerated and gotten an easy a, but my pride and love for that class got the better of me, and my grade. For those of you who were wise enough to stick with accelerated, Mr. Sakellarion’s tests and quizzes caused severe anxiety, breakdowns and stress from most of his students, however the day to day classes made that stress worthwhile.

In October of my freshman year, myself, a senior named Cyera, and one of our school 's City Year members, Fevean Keflom, came together to form a student-led club we called The College and Career Committee (CCC). We came up with the idea of CCC because we noticed that our school lacked the resources it needed to prepare students for high school and college, clubs were almost non-existent at school, the graduation rate as well as students remaining in college after their 1st year was at an all-time low, and to simply motivate kids to get involved in high school activities and through community service

The transition from high school to college for many can be quite terrifying, however, as a result of the Craft Academy this transition was dampened. Although the switch happens just as quick, there is a support system in place which helped me through it in a way unmatched by the university for incoming freshmen. Looking beyond the transition, the academy provided experience in taking courses tailored for students who are normally about two years older than I am. At many high schools today courses are designed to be easy enough for all students to succeed and to provide only basic information regarding standard academic topics. Courses at a university provide in depth comprehensive information on these topics, they required me to think for myself and develop as an informed individual rather than another cookie cut by the same cutter.

One of the most stressful things of any high school students career is taking the SAT, or the ACT. There are advantages and disadvantages of both tests depending on your abilities. For example, the ACT test questions are more straightforward ,whereas the SAT questions take a little more thought to understand what the question is saying (Princetonreview). On the other other hand, the SAT test is given in ten sections that revolve around subject areas, and the writing portion is given at the beginning of the test. The ACT writing, which is optional yet required by a lot of schools, is at the end of the test and could be a disadvantage if you are feeling very tired.

Transition is often a definitive word for an unfathomable time in one’s life. Synonyms to transition is change, conversion, and metamorphosis. They all mean the same thing when it happens to someone-when everything changes. In the novel Fangirl, Cath experiences a rapid transition period when she goes to college.

Fitting In: High School Edition Blake Lively once said, “In High School, there are so many cliques. You’re never safe” (Lively). Whether teenagers like it or not, there are a lot of different types of cliques in high school. There are the populars, (a.k.a. the jocks and cheerleaders) the nerds, the party animals (they are usually the troublemakers), the misfits, and then finally, the floaters.
