Milestone 3: Motivation For High School Students
With so many of life many failure attempts to succeed in life, we see those individuals that have dropped out of school and feel that their life now
seems meaningless. Their determination or will power wasn't strong, and they had no one to push them forward to want to be a better person or
succeed in life. Some students today feel that all they have to do is just attend school just because of their parents' wishes for them to receive a
diploma. Some feel that classes are boring and frustrating and a waste of time and energy. Why do students of today feel this way?...show more content...
Now how can you learn if you're not interested? This is when the teacher should consider providing fun and games, praise, and love within the
classrooms, making the classroom exciting and more interesting.
Before entering the classrooms, teachers should sit and study each individual student and learn their likes and dislikes. They should know what
particular student need help in what particular subject. Some students need more help in other subjects than other students. This is when teachers
should consider making their lesson plans focusing on subject matters that are current and relevant to high school students, implementing cooperative
learning strategies with their lesson plans while students show off their talents. If students are demonstrating what they have learned in a skit, they
tend to learn more positively. When providing fun and game within the classrooms, the students are excited about attending class because they
already know something very eventful is going to take place in that particular class. Not only are they learning they are having fun while doing so.
They are able to act out some of their personal talents, giving others a sense of who they really are, and what some of their greater skills may be. As
acknowledge in the article "How to Motivate High School Students," "By allowing students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge in a way
that appeals to their strengths, you're giving them a chance

Sample Of Admission Essay For High School
My whole life I have been invested in doing what I love, focusing on my true passions, as well as finding new ones. I have been very involved in
my high school, and have been lucky enough to be a part of multiple clubs and activities. Without these activities, my high school experience and life
would be a lot different. I have been an active drama club member, a part of 'Bottlecappers,' a club advocating anti–drug, alcohol, and bullying to
younger students in my district, and many other community service opportunities. I am lucky to have the opportunity to be in these activities, as they
have shaped me to be the young adult I am today.
Before I even entered high school, I obtained a love of theater and the performing arts. I have been singing and acting since I was nine, as well as on
and off dancing since three. Taking classes at a local theater really introduced me to this interest of mine. When I entered highschool, an injury kept me
from doing shows. But now I graduate with nine high school shows under my belt, as well as being in multiple community theater productions. Being

chance to save a student's life through this club. Another community activity I enjoy doing is related to performing, but at senior citizen homes. Some
of my friends and I often just like to get together with some music and go sing for them. This is a rewarding experience, as seeing the senior citizens

High School Sports Essay
High School Sports In high school many kids often choose not to participate in extra curricular activities saying that there pointless or that only a
certain type of person would do something like play football, or join the chess club. While this type of thinking may get some people through school
and through life, can it really be looked at as being a healthy lifestyle? Today sports have proven to be a healthy outlet for students, in dealing with
stress in the classroom at home and among their peers. The "dumb jock" stereotype we've all heard it used before and for some of us have even been
called it. However in recent surveys across the United States has found that student–athletes grades are generally higher than...show more content...
As far as athletes on the field a great many lessons are often learned there and one of the biggest lessons is sportsmanship. For any sports played
teamwork is often times essential for winning. It also allows for a person to become more confident in their own abilities allowing them to become
more proud and not ashamed of what they can or cannot do. It allows players to build bonds among their teammates and while this maybe be one of
the main creators of the "jocks hang out with jocks" stereotype it is only because athletes feel a connection to someone that is going through the
same time of training and emotions that sports tend to create. Sportsmanship teaches a person the value of working together in groups and allows
the player to learn how to adjust to situations that he or she may not agree with. The work ethic sportsmanship creates is also carried off the field as
well into the school and more importantly the working environment, because we all know that in our lifetimes we are going to have to work with
someone that we do not like or agree with. And having the ability to be able to work through a problem which sportsmanship can do allows for an
easier job experience. Athletes also tend to be generally much more healthier than non–athletes, do to the type of training and experiences they are put
through for their respective sports. Athletes

Descriptive Essay About High School
Panic, anxiety, lost, confused, this is what I felt as I arrived on campus. I am sixteen, a junior in high school, and this was my first day attending a
college course. My expectations of what the campus, teachers, and people were like, was nothing compared to what I ended up experiencing.
On Tuesday, August 24th, I began the next step towards my future. I arrived at 12:20pm, my first class was Introduction to Psychology with
Professor Sample at 12:45pm. My palms were sweating, my stomach was turning, my mind was racing. This is really happening, I kept thinking to

My High School Experience Essay
When people start high school they're usually so excited. They can't wait to experience everything that comes with being in high school, I mean
who wouldn't? Everyone says that high school is the best four years of your life. Now that I'm months away from graduating, I can't say they were
my best years but I can say they were my most educational years, of course I wouldn't say that they weren't fun because they were. When I say
educational, I mean I've learned so much about myself and so much about life. I learned what the words family, love, betrayal, law and life meant. All
these events changed me, and I'm glad they happened because I wouldn't have learned all these lessons. My personality hasn't changed; I'm still a

My freshmen and sophomore year, I had my first real boyfriend. I was completely and totally in love with this guy, he changed me in ways that I'm
proud of and ways that I'm not proud of. I revolved my world around him, which wasn't a good idea. After almost two years of dating, we broke up
and it literally shattered my world. During our relationship I became friends with his friends and I even considered one of them my best friends,
so when we broke up I didn't only loose him, I lost all of them as well. It felt so awful to all of a sudden have everything, and then just lose
everything in a day. A couple of weeks later, I found out that my best friend was actually dating my ex boyfriend. I couldn't believe that a person
could betray someone like that, especially after everything that she and I went through together. I'm not proud of the events that happened after
all of this, and I'm not proud of how I let them change me. The one thing that saved me was my family; they saved me in ways I can't even explain.
They gave me hope and a new life for me that I am extremely grateful for. I've learned to be wiser when it comes to picking friends, and choosing
who to put my trust in. I also became a stronger person, I don't let people walk all over me or I don't let people control my life anymore. The last
event is the one that taught me the most about how hard life is, and how life isn't always fair. My junior year was spent in Tijuana,

It's the end, high school is finally over. It's finally graduation day, and a wave of emotion hit, and I've never been hit with a wave quite this hard,
not even at the beach. I'm not the type to get sad, but as I walk around in my long draping gown, my cap the doesn't quite fit because of my
abnormally large head, and my state championship ring I can't help but be overwhelmed with emotion. Being the guy that I am I ignore it as
always and I continue going around to teachers and give them hugs, thanking them for the help they've given me. Watching everyone take pictures,
crying, talking about their futures, and how "they'll have to meet up sometime" as if they're moving to another country when they are just really
moving to the next town over. I swore the day before, the week before, even months before I would be sad, and wouldn't know what to do with
myself when today actually comes, but I can't seem to find the emotions. All of them are on the inside and won't come out. On the inside I feel sad,
and upset and I want to just hug everyone and cry, but I can't. I don't have time to think about crying, because of all the chaos going on around me.
We only got one practice in ahead of time, just about nobody actually listened to what we are supposed to be doing, so everyone's doing their own
thing. I walk through the halls and realize this is my final last. I've had my last soccer game, I've attended my last football game and cheered them

My academic interests throughout the years have really changed and evolved as I have matured as a student. Since I started school, I've always
had an appreciation for academics and the various subjects that I learned. I would attribute this to the fact that I was able to work with and learn
from students, teachers or friends that were passionate about a particular subject, helping me understand a subject's value even if it did not
particularly interest me. By having this exposure during my formative years where I learned to think independently, I came to cherish my own
education in addition to realizing the importance and value education can hold for others. As I grew older and began to think for myself, I
developed an affinity towards math and science. I would attribute this to the fact that my mind is more analytical than creative, leading me to find
interest in areas of study that progress logically and introduce concepts that can be built on top of each other. Once I got to high school, the science
classes that I took started to utilize concepts from mathematics and vice versa. I was particularly interested when concepts and ideas stemming from a
variety of fields were put together in order to accomplish something practical. I began to seek out articles and videos online to further develop my
knowledge of technology and scientific phenomena. At the end of my junior year, I was motivated to seek out and apply for various research
opportunities that involved working

I knew I wanted to do this because I was very interested in sports my whole life. It wasn't an easy decision in choosing a school, but I think I made
the best choice based on my major right now. In a short essay "College? What's in It for me?" by Steven M. Richardson, the author makes some very
good points about college. Richardson states that there are a lot of reasons to not attend college, but furthermore states that attending college is your
best bet at succeeding in life. Richardson states "The biggest reason for not going, probably, is that college costs money" (169). On the other hand, he
states, "The decision to attend college is an investment in your future–a risk, certainly, but one with a big payoff if it's the right decision for you" (171).
These are the things I had to think about along with millions of high school–students before making my decision on what I wanted to do with my life.
Choosing a college is only the first part of the decision making process. What I want to do for the rest of your life is the question that the majority of
high school students will ponder. As Richardson states, choosing a college as well as choosing a major is definitely an investment. The way you
handle that investment is up to you. If you handle it correctly your investment will pay off immensely in the end (171). This is why I chose Athletic

My High School Year Essay
There was a point in my time where I enjoyed school and took pleasure in attending school and that was elementary. Those were the best school years
of my life, having nothing to care about, the school lunch was unbelievably amazing and we had recess. Middle school was manageable but was also
beginning to become tough because the classes were becoming difficult. As we approach the beginning of ourhigh school career, parents and teachers
always tell us students that it's the best four years of our life, which in my case I did not find high school fascinating or enjoyable. I found high
school to be very stressful, overwhelming and not easy, understanding that the next four years of my life will be filled with obstacles and
challenges that I will face. I knew that I would have challenges with my courses, but I did not think I would have trouble with my emotions such as
feeling depressed, sad, or that I would cry every other day, but to some teachers or parents thought it was normal for teenagers because we are going
through different phases of our life. My freshman year was probably the best year of my high school year but I did face many challenges. I was
immature, did not obey my teachers, always getting in some sort of trouble. I was carefree, fun, outgoing and had decent memories whether they were
good memories or bad memories. Towards the middle of my freshman year I found out that I had Hyperthyroidism, and was quite confused and did not
understand what it meant. As I

I need a program that will help me find new things that will interest me. As an 8th grader getting ready to go into high school I was looking at
applications and, I came across Lake View High School and I was intrigued. As I read on I was satisfied with what I read because I know that this
program will help me succeed in high school and college. Knowing that, I really want to be a part of this school. Lake View is a HOME, which

Essay on How I Changed in High School
Everyone has heard or been told, "high school is what you make of it." High school is in fact what you make of it, but it is also the time of great
change in everybody. Entering grade nine you still feel like a kid, your post–secondary and career choices are far from top priority. However, by grade
twelve we become more mature and grow into young adults. Personally looking back to my grade nine self and comparing her to my grade twelve
self of today, I am able to see changes in my character, my athletics and my goals. There are many aspects within my personal character in which have

Over four years, I have made, as well as, lost friends. We all need to grow and mature and sometimes others just do not want to follow that path
with you and you end up growing apart. Further changes can be seen in my athletics. Although this may seem a mute point to mention, my sports
are part of my life and today are part of my career choice. Therefore, my sports have obviously impacted me. In grade nine, I was curling seven days
a week on multiple teams and different leagues. I joined the school team and ended the season winning Female MVP. In grade nine I was aiming
towards going to Provincials for curling while in grade twelve I now aim towards placing higher than bronze in the 2010 Summer Games for
archery. I do not have much time for school sports with my archery outside of school taking off and I rarely get time to go shoot some rocks. Archery
is my main focus in sports right now. Along with my goals in sports changing, my goals in post–secondary matters as well as career choices have
changed. Today I am looking at applying to either Canadore College or Brock University, where four years ago all I knew was that I wanted to attend
college and move out. Now I realize staying home would save me a lot of money. As well, I am more open to looking at both university and college
courses, like Brock, as their program I wish to take is said to be excellent. In grade nine I was jobless and did not truly

When Has High School Taught Me Essay
In school, I learned many ways the world has been changing, the people and the environment. Something that I like about the schools I went to, gives

After each year of school, my teachers got better at teaching. I think it was because that they were given the talent to know what each student
understands and what the students don't understand. Over the years of going to school, I hear students saying,"I want to have a "fun" teacher for this
period." The thing about most "fun" teachers is that they don't really teach a lot and they concentrate on having fun with the students although I know
that not all "fun" teachers are bad at teaching. I would much rather have a smart teacher who has experience on actually teaching the kids because
school isn't a time to have fun, it's a time to learn what you don't know and understanding what you already know even better. I know that the teachers
give every kid to learn, but it is the student's decision if they want to go to school for the actual purpose of going to school, or go to school just to

My High School Career Essay
Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I'm not quite sure if it was
because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to
everyone else. Maybe there's just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not
make these mistakes again.
I remember going into my freshman year of high school nervous but excited because I thought I'd learn so many new things. Next thing you know I
found myself dreading school. Was I being lazy? Was it my lack of motivation? I still can't grasp why exactly I lost that excitement or that yearning
to go to school. I was raised to have the idea that school was a place to learn not socialize. But at the age of 14, what teenagers don't want to socialize
and that's what got a hold of me. I spent too much time worrying about other things that didn't involve my education.
Once I became a junior in high school I had been too far in the process of skipping school, not paying attention, and putting all my focus on other
things. I'm not saying I didn't learn things while or whenever I did go to because I learned a lot of things but not enough. I didn't reach my full
potential. I think this was the year I made friends who weren't as great of influence. So, at this point my lack of focus on my education was because of

Classes are the second main reason high school differs from college. Classes in high school generally consist of no more that 25 students.
Counselors usually arrange your schedule the way they think is best for you. You are not responsible for knowing what it takes to graduate. Usually
the school year is 26 weeks long; classes may have to be taken the whole year in order to get credit for them. You are graded on most assignments done
in class. In college some classes may have from 75–100 students. It is your responsibility to enroll in the classes that are required for your major, plus
a week for final exams. The year is divided into two 14 week semesters; most classes need to be taken the complete semester in order to get credit.
College professors tend to grade students on tests and major papers. Responsibility has a lot to do when it comes to high school and college. When
you attend high school you are provided textbooks for each class. Your time is usually structured by others (parents and/or teachers). Many parents
are there to wake you up in the morning before school starts. In high school you are required to go to school everyday. You often read or hear
presentations once in order to learn what you need to know. Students are expected to read short stories at home which will be re–taught in class. When
in college you must pay for each textbook necessary for class.

My Greatest Accomplishment In High School
A Found Friend I thought I knew everything about high school then I met Da'kevus Arceneaux. Well it was 7 o'clock in Ms. Phyllis's English 1 first
hour when De'kevus Arceneaux smoothly cruised into the classroom with a smile from ear to ear. De'kevus discussed with me how high school
changed him and helped him grow and he answered with a bright smile and clear answers. Speaking with De'kevus, I learned more about the high
school experience, coming of age and making future plans. Da'kevus had a very good experience when it came to sports and academics. I asked
Da'kevus, "What was your biggest accomplishment in high school and how did you accomplish it". Da'kevus answered "My biggest

obtaining good grades is not much of a struggle, and exams are typically easy to pass. Course load outside the class is no more then a few hours of

The school system supports students to make sure their performance in classes in adequate to move on and aid students who are behind. Teachers, will

Sometimes at a computer controlling a projector as he/she presents new topics to discuss. Students sit quietly, doing their best not to converse, while
the teacher is speaking, in fear of the common response, to "be quiet." Students have their pens, ready to write down the next important note. Likewise,
the learning progress progresses similarly. Each course has a set curriculum that the teacher must follow and complete before the end of the course.
Teachers follow textbooks, handouts, and chapters as they lead students through the required material. The path the teacher follows can vary because
texts differ and teaching styles differ but the structure is always similar.
For example, math topics follow corresponding chapters, as they build upon the previous ones. This becomes a routine learning style, but it is effective
and the instructor has the ability to adjust it. The grading system is a fundamental part of education. The earliest recording of the commonly seen A
through F grading system comes from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts in 1877. This common system is still necessary. High schools all
around the world follow this simple grading scheme to classify how a student is preforming in class and on the work he or she is turning in.
Likewise, this system is what high schools and colleges use to grade students on the quizzes, tests, exams, and papers given periodically throughout the

set in yet." Tony finished getting ready, and then we left for the high school. The parking lot was filled with all the other seniors' cars. Tony and I
walked into the library ten minutes late like usual, and the principal had already started giving instructions. I found my place in line and then was all
ears. I couldn't help but look around at all the others. Smiles were plastered on their faces as if they had heard a hilarious joke. Once the principal
concluded his speech, the whole senior class paraded down the hallway to the commons in two uniform lines stopping just outside the gymnasium

This is when the teacher should consider providing fun and games, praise, and love within the classrooms, making the classroom exciting and more interesting. Before entering the classrooms, teachers should sit and study each individual student and learn their likes and dislikes. They should know what particular student need help in what particular subject. Some students need more help in other subjects than other students. This is when teachers should consider making their lesson plans focusing on subject matters that are current and relevant to high school students, implementing cooperative learning strategies with their lesson plans while students show off their talents. If students are demonstrating what they have learned in a skit, they tend to learn more positively. When providing fun and game within the classrooms, the students are excited about attending class because they already know something very eventful is going to take place in that particular class. Not only are they learning they are having fun while doing so.

  • 4. Sample Of Admission Essay For High School My whole life I have been invested in doing what I love, focusing on my true passions, as well as finding new ones. I have been very involved in my high school, and have been lucky enough to be a part of multiple clubs and activities. Without these activities, my high school experience and life would be a lot different. I have been an active drama club member, a part of 'Bottlecappers,' a club advocating anti–drug, alcohol, and bullying to younger students in my district, and many other community service opportunities. I am lucky to have the opportunity to be in these activities, as they have shaped me to be the young adult I am today. Before I even entered high school, I obtained a love of theater and the performing arts. I have been singing and acting since I was nine, as well as on and off dancing since three. Taking classes at a local theater really introduced me to this interest of mine. When I entered highschool, an injury kept me from doing shows. But now I graduate with nine high school shows under my belt, as well as being in multiple community theater productions. Being a part of these shows made me feel a strong sense of belonging, and whether I was an ensemble or lead...show more content...

The feeling that those students may look up to us is very meaningful, and I feel it is a unique experience. I am lucky to have the chance to save a student's life through this club. Another community activity I enjoy doing is related to performing, but at senior citizen homes. Some of my friends and I often just like to get together with some music and go sing for them.

  • 5. High School Sports Essay High School Sports In high school many kids often choose not to participate in extra curricular activities saying that there pointless or that only a certain type of person would do something like play football, or join the chess club. While this type of thinking may get some people through school and through life, can it really be looked at as being a healthy lifestyle? Today sports have proven to be a healthy outlet for students, in dealing with stress in the classroom at home and among their peers. The "dumb jock" stereotype we've all heard it used before and for some of us have even been called it. However in recent surveys across the United States has found that student–athletes grades are generally higher than...show more content... As far as athletes on the field a great many lessons are often learned there and one of the biggest lessons is sportsmanship. For any sports played teamwork is often times essential for winning. It also allows for a person to become more confident in their own abilities allowing them to become more proud and not ashamed of what they can or cannot do. It allows players to build bonds among their teammates and while this maybe be one of the main creators of the "jocks hang out with jocks" stereotype it is only because athletes feel a connection to someone that is going through the same time of training and emotions that sports tend to create. Sportsmanship teaches a person the value of working together in groups and allows the player to learn how to adjust to situations that he or she may not agree with. The work ethic sportsmanship creates is also carried off the field as well into the school and more importantly the working environment, because we all know that in our lifetimes we are going to have to work with someone that we do not like or agree with. And having the ability to be able to work through a problem which sportsmanship can do allows for an easier job experience. Athletes also tend to be generally much more healthier than non–athletes, do to the type of training and experiences they are put through for their respective sports.

  • 6. Descriptive Essay About High School Panic, anxiety, lost, confused, this is what I felt as I arrived on campus. I am sixteen, a junior in high school, and this was my first day attending a college course. My expectations of what the campus, teachers, and people were like, was nothing compared to what I ended up experiencing. On Tuesday, August 24th, I began the next step towards my future. I arrived at 12:20pm, my first class was Introduction to Psychology with Professor Sample at 12:45pm. My palms were sweating, my stomach was turning, my mind was racing. This is really happening, I kept thinking to myself. Luckily, I had two common faces to embark on this journey with me. My best friend since middle school, blonde, taller, Noelle Stevens. Along with an individual I have come to know and be close with over the past year, Ocean Klein. As we were pulling into the parking lot, I noticed many differences between Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) and Licking ValleyHigh School, almost instantly. My eyes were pealed to the huge and colorful building. They were nothing like my simple high school building I attend. The very next item that drew my attention was, the way individuals were dressed. Girls looked comfortable in the heat. At licking valley high school, the dress code is very restrictive. Bottoms can be no shorter than four inches above the knee, shirts must cover shoulders and bra straps, and there are to be no holes showing skin in tops and above the knee of bottoms.

  • 7. My High School Experience Essay When people start high school they're usually so excited. They can't wait to experience everything that comes with being in high school, I mean who wouldn't? Everyone says that high school is the best four years of your life. Now that I'm months away from graduating, I can't say they were my best years but I can say they were my most educational years, of course I wouldn't say that they weren't fun because they were. When I say educational, I mean I've learned so much about myself and so much about life. I learned what the words family, love, betrayal, law and life meant. All these events changed me, and I'm glad they happened because I wouldn't have learned all these lessons. My personality hasn't changed; I'm still a carefree girl,...show more content... My freshmen and sophomore year, I had my first real boyfriend. I was completely and totally in love with this guy, he changed me in ways that I'm proud of and ways that I'm not proud of. I revolved my world around him, which wasn't a good idea. After almost two years of dating, we broke up and it literally shattered my world. During our relationship I became friends with his friends and I even considered one of them my best friends, so when we broke up I didn't only loose him, I lost all of them as well. It felt so awful to all of a sudden have everything, and then just lose everything in a day. A couple of weeks later, I found out that my best friend was actually dating my ex boyfriend. I couldn't believe that a person could betray someone like that, especially after everything that she and I went through together. I'm not proud of the events that happened after all of this, and I'm not proud of how I let them change me. The one thing that saved me was my family; they saved me in ways I can't even explain. They gave me hope and a new life for me that I am extremely grateful for. I've learned to be wiser when it comes to picking friends, and choosing who to put my trust in. I also became a stronger person, I don't let people walk all over me or I don't let people control my life anymore. The last event is the one that taught me the most about how hard life is, and how life isn't always fair. My junior year was spent in Tijuana, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. It's the end, high school is finally over. It's finally graduation day, and a wave of emotion hit, and I've never been hit with a wave quite this hard, not even at the beach. I'm not the type to get sad, but as I walk around in my long draping gown, my cap the doesn't quite fit because of my abnormally large head, and my state championship ring I can't help but be overwhelmed with emotion. Being the guy that I am I ignore it as always and I continue going around to teachers and give them hugs, thanking them for the help they've given me. Watching everyone take pictures, crying, talking about their futures, and how "they'll have to meet up sometime" as if they're moving to another country when they are just really moving to the next town over. I swore the day before, the week before, even months before I would be sad, and wouldn't know what to do with myself when today actually comes, but I can't seem to find the emotions. All of them are on the inside and won't come out. On the inside I feel sad, and upset and I want to just hug everyone and cry, but I can't. I don't have time to think about crying, because of all the chaos going on around me. We only got one practice in ahead of time, just about nobody actually listened to what we are supposed to be doing, so everyone's doing their own thing. I walk through the halls and realize this is my final last.

  • 9. My academic interests throughout the years have really changed and evolved as I have matured as a student. Since I started school, I've always had an appreciation for academics and the various subjects that I learned. I would attribute this to the fact that I was able to work with and learn from students, teachers or friends that were passionate about a particular subject, helping me understand a subject's value even if it did not particularly interest me. By having this exposure during my formative years where I learned to think independently, I came to cherish my own education in addition to realizing the importance and value education can hold for others. As I grew older and began to think for myself, I developed an affinity towards math and science. I would attribute this to the fact that my mind is more analytical than creative, leading me to find interest in areas of study that progress logically and introduce concepts that can be built on top of each other. Once I got to high school, the science classes that I took started to utilize concepts from mathematics and vice versa.

I knew I wanted to do this because I was very interested in sports my whole life. It wasn't an easy decision in choosing a school, but I think I made the best choice based on my major right now. In a short essay "College? What's in It for me?" by Steven M. Richardson, the author makes some very good points about college. Richardson states that there are a lot of reasons to not attend college, but furthermore states that attending college is your best bet at succeeding in life. Richardson states "The biggest reason for not going, probably, is that college costs money" (169). On the other hand, he states, "The decision to attend college is an investment in your future–a risk, certainly, but one with a big payoff if it's the right decision for you" (171). These are the things I had to think about along with millions of high school–students before making my decision on what I wanted to do with my life. Choosing a college is only the first part of the decision making process. What I want to do for the rest of your life is the question that the majority of high school students will ponder. As Richardson states, choosing a college as well as choosing a major is definitely an investment. The way you handle that investment is up to you. If you handle it correctly your investment will pay off immensely in the end (171). This is why I chose Athletic Training as my major. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. My High School Year Essay There was a point in my time where I enjoyed school and took pleasure in attending school and that was elementary. Those were the best school years of my life, having nothing to care about, the school lunch was unbelievably amazing and we had recess. Middle school was manageable but was also beginning to become tough because the classes were becoming difficult. As we approach the beginning of ourhigh school career, parents and teachers always tell us students that it's the best four years of our life, which in my case I did not find high school fascinating or enjoyable. I found high school to be very stressful, overwhelming and not easy, understanding that the next four years of my life will be filled with obstacles and challenges that I will face. I knew that I would have challenges with my courses, but I did not think I would have trouble with my emotions such as feeling depressed, sad, or that I would cry every other day, but to some teachers or parents thought it was normal for teenagers because we are going through different phases of our life. My freshman year was probably the best year of my high school year but I did face many challenges. I was immature, did not obey my teachers, always getting in some sort of trouble. I was carefree, fun, outgoing and had decent memories whether they were good memories or bad memories. Towards the middle of my freshman year I found out that I had Hyperthyroidism, and was quite confused and did not understand what it meant. As I Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 14. Essay on How I Changed in High School Everyone has heard or been told, "high school is what you make of it." High school is in fact what you make of it, but it is also the time of great change in everybody. Entering grade nine you still feel like a kid, your post–secondary and career choices are far from top priority. However, by grade twelve we become more mature and grow into young adults. Personally looking back to my grade nine self and comparing her to my grade twelve self of today, I am able to see changes in my character, my athletics and my goals. There are many aspects within my personal character in which have changed since entering grade nine. One of these aspects is my time management skills. When I first started out in grade nine, I used to rush home and rush...show more content... Over four years, I have made, as well as, lost friends. We all need to grow and mature and sometimes others just do not want to follow that path with you and you end up growing apart. Further changes can be seen in my athletics. Although this may seem a mute point to mention, my sports are part of my life and today are part of my career choice. Therefore, my sports have obviously impacted me. In grade nine, I was curling seven days a week on multiple teams and different leagues. I joined the school team and ended the season winning Female MVP. In grade nine I was aiming towards going to Provincials for curling while in grade twelve I now aim towards placing higher than bronze in the 2010 Summer Games for archery. I do not have much time for school sports with my archery outside of school taking off and I rarely get time to go shoot some rocks. Archery is my main focus in sports right now. Along with my goals in sports changing, my goals in post–secondary matters as well as career choices have changed. Today I am looking at applying to either Canadore College or Brock University, where four years ago all I knew was that I wanted to attend college and move out. Now I realize staying home would save me a lot of money. As well, I am more open to looking at both university and college courses, like Brock, as their program I wish to take is said to be excellent.

Something that I like about the schools I went to, gives the students a good environment to work and learn in. The teachers gave all the students a chance to learn what they had to teach us. School has given me the education to get me where I am now, high school. My schools have given helped teach me a life lesson on how the world can give me a hard time or go on smoothly, but most importantly, school has taught me to follow my dreams and never give up on what I think is right.

After each year of school, my teachers got better at teaching. I think it was because that they were given the talent to know what each student understands and what the students don't understand. Over the years of going to school, I hear students saying,"I want to have a "fun" teacher for this period." The thing about most "fun" teachers is that they don't really teach a lot and they concentrate on having fun with the students although I know that not all "fun" teachers are bad at teaching. I would much rather have a smart teacher who has experience on actually teaching the kids because school isn't a time to have fun, it's a time to learn what you don't know and understanding what you already know even better. I know that the teachers give every kid to learn, but it is the student's decision if they want to go to school for the actual purpose of going to school, or go to school just to mess around with Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. My High School Career Essay Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I'm not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there's just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again. I remember going into my freshman year of high school nervous but excited because I thought I'd learn so many new things. Next thing you know I found myself dreading school. Was I being lazy? Was it my lack of motivation? I still can't grasp why exactly I lost that excitement or that yearning to go to school. I was raised to have the idea that school was a place to learn not socialize. But at the age of 14, what teenagers don't want to socialize and that's what got a hold of me. I spent too much time worrying about other things that didn't involve my education. Once I became a junior in high school I had been too far in the process of skipping school, not paying attention, and putting all my focus on other things. I'm not saying I didn't learn things while or whenever I did go to because I learned a lot of things but not enough. I didn't reach my full potential. I think this was the year I made friends who weren't as great of influence. So, at this point my lack of focus on my education was because of Get more content on HelpWriting.net

In order to acquire a satisfying education, one should complete high school prior to college.

As recent high school graduates and college freshman's many can clarify similarities and differences between the two.

Classes in high school generally consist of no more that 25 students. Counselors usually arrange your schedule the way they think is best for you. You are not responsible for knowing what it takes to graduate. Usually the school year is 26 weeks long; classes may have to be taken the whole year in order to get credit for them. You are graded on most assignments done in class. In college some classes may have from 75–100 students. It is your responsibility to enroll in the classes that are required for your major, plus a week for final exams. The year is divided into two 14 week semesters; most classes need to be taken the complete semester in order to get credit. College professors tend to grade students on tests and major papers. Responsibility has a lot to do when it comes to high school and college. When you attend high school you are provided textbooks for each class. Your time is usually structured by others (parents and/or teachers). Many parents are there to wake you up in the morning before school starts. In high school you are required to go to school everyday. You often read or hear presentations once in order to learn what you need to know. Students are expected to read short stories at home which will be re–taught in class. When in college you must pay for each textbook necessary for class. Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Student workload is minimal, obtaining good grades is not much of a struggle, and exams are typically easy to pass. Course load outside the class is no more then a few hours of homework each week. Teachers and faculty help facilitate a moderately laid back culture to learning. The school system supports students to make sure their performance in classes in adequate to move on and aid students who are behind.

Sometimes at a computer controlling a projector as he/she presents new topics to discuss. Students sit quietly, doing their best not to converse, while the teacher is speaking, in fear of the common response, to "be quiet." Students have their pens, ready to write down the next important note. Likewise, the learning progress progresses similarly. Each course has a set curriculum that the teacher must follow and complete before the end of the course. Teachers follow textbooks, handouts, and chapters as they lead students through the required material. The path the teacher follows can vary because texts differ and teaching styles differ but the structure is always similar. For example, math topics follow corresponding chapters, as they build upon the previous ones. This becomes a routine learning style, but it is effective and the instructor has the ability to adjust it. The grading system is a fundamental part of education. The earliest recording of the commonly seen A through F grading system comes from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts in 1877. This common system is still necessary. High schools all around the world follow this simple grading scheme to classify how a student is preforming in class and on the work he or she is turning in. Likewise, this system is what high schools and colleges use to grade students on the quizzes, tests, exams, and papers given periodically throughout the year.
