study for everything, now I haven't been studying as much.I haven't really been preparing myself

2. My Time at Boarding School Essay
My Time at Boarding School
At the beginning of year six, when I was ten, my mum brought up the subject of secondary school
and I realised that, after that year, I would have to leave the school and people I had known for
many years. I knew I would have to leave my friends, because they were all going to the local
comprehensive school, and as my brother was at a private school, I would have to go to one too.
I had a choice. I could go to Dauntsey's school, the same as my brother, but I would have had to
wear the horrible brown uniform. Therefore, I went to Bruton School for Girls. A private Girl's
school in Somerset. I did not particularly like that uniform, but if I was to go, I would be a boarder

She asked me my name and pointed to a door opposite the door we were stood at and told me that
I was going to live in there for the next year. I thanked her and carried on dragging my suitcase.
When we got in, I was so nervous. A small staircase that led up into a little room that looked out
onto the downstairs impressed me. I chose a bed and wondered who would live in the two other
beds up there. Everybody had a small, uncomfortable bed, a chest of draws, with three draws; the
top drawer had a lock on, and a small narrow wardrobe. My mum unpacked all my stuff, while I
watched the other four girls unpack. AChinese girl was talking to a girl with bushy black hair, and
there was a very pretty girl arguing with her mum and dad about her poster that had a cat hanging
off a branch and a rude word written on it. The other girl seemed to know the girl with the rude
poster because she kept talking to her every now and again. It was surprisingly noisy, so I could not
hear their conversation.
After about an hour, my mum took me to see the housemistress. I walked down the corridor short
corridor. Standing in front of me was a dumpy woman with white hair and purple tinted glasses.
She was very nice to me and showed me into a nice small cosy room that had a sign on the door
saying "Old

3. 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 our high 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

4. My School Essay
We all know School is one of the biggest and most important parts of our lives, but is it really that
important? We meet new people and learn what we what to do in life, the big question I have is
"Does it actually do what we think". Everyday I walk home, it's a short walk, only around a mile,
but afterwards I'm tired from both my walk and school. I'm always hoping I have no homework
and no chores, but that's never the case for me. No matter how much homework I get I have at
least 2 big chores that can take upwards of 40 minutes, and stacked with the hour to two hours
homework I get, I feel stuck. All I ever think about is "What are my grades" and "Am I going to be
able to talk with my friends". I can't explore my interests and my own...show more content...
They have the highest graduation rate and more people go to college and get PhDs and
Doctorates. The reason for this is because of their student idea friendly system, they support their
students and who they want to be. Teachers work harder for a much higher pay to help students,
bullying is down and kids enjoy going to school more. In Sweden they have massive amounts of
electives for the children to choose from and almost every single type of interest for a growing
child. The US school system usually has little electives and in recent years have decreased them.
At LRMS alone, 6 have been dropped in the past 7 years. I have so many friends that tell me that
they don't know what they want to do with their life. Most people don't look at the school system
as the problem, they just blame it on "Millennials being lazy and useless". Another commonplace
to blame is the teacher's, people think that the reason the US school system is failing is because
of teachers. The true and real reason the school system is being pointed at people that have perfect
grades is the curriculum, homework, and higher ups that choose a lot of the ways teachers have to
teach. A great example of a great teacher is Mrs Sullivan, she rarely gives homework and pushes
her students in class instead of out of school. Sullivan does exactly what a teacher in Sweden does,

5. My High School Teacher
My high school teacher, a lady, has inspired me to become a teacher. She demonstrated to me how
caring, enthusiastic and accessible a teacher can be to students. She inspired me with her unlimited
patience when interacting with students including myself. She would approach each student in her
own way and gave every student their own privacy when it comes to getting assessment results. I
respect her very much as she respected me and made my final year of high school very memorable.
Teaching is a good career choice because of the satisfaction you achieve when you teach or help a
student in any way. I believe teaching is also the transmission of knowledge and information. It is a
pleasure to be able to transfer the useful knowledge and...show more content...
Being a teacher means being compassionate, tolerant and responsible for their students, the
community, and the society. A good teacher is influential and can impact others positively by being
a role model/good example for them(young children). A good teacher definitely should have a strong
dedication towards teaching and students' learning.
A good teacher helps students overcome their fear, low–self esteem and struggle that they may face
in school. A good teacher should also encourage students to discover their own interest and talent. It
also important that a good teacher will teach and demonstrate to students the importance of honesty,
good morals and values so that they know what to do and what not to do and what is wrong and
what is right. This also helps by shaping their personal understanding of themselves and the world
which will benefit them in their future.
I am an attentive listener with unlimited patience. I can listen to students; questions, needs and
worries. I am also a great observer meaning I can see and obverse if any student is facing
problems or need an adult to talk to. I care about how others feel and it is why my friends tend to
speak out to me about their struggles and concerns. I try my best to comfort them and also offer
some advice to overcome their needs or to reduce their stress. I am willing to devote my time to
help others.I am flexible and collaborative when it comes to group work, I enjoy sharing my ideas

6. My Experience At My School
Everyone knows that one kid... who is always up to something, but never gets in trouble. Well
that was me, Aiden Young, until I realized that I needed to change my attitude. It all started on a
Monday, and everyone knows Monday is the worst day of the week. I woke up at 7:06 a.m. With
only nine minutes to get dressed, brush my teeth, and eat breakfast. I had missed the bus, and
today is the one day they both my mom and dad start work early. So they were not home to drive
me, so I had to ride my bike to school. When I got to school, I had one minute till the bell rang. Of
course that was not enough time to go to my locker that is on the first floor and make it to the
third floor. As I guessed I was three minutes late. I tried to slip into the class going unnoticed. I do
not know how but it worked, this may be because my last name is Young and I'm at the bottom of
the roaster. I have algebra first, and as usual I talked most of the time. This is the teacher's
mistake because she told us we could choose our seats, and I sat next to my best friend Michael in
the back of the room. Unlike me Michael does well in school, and he is kind of nerdy. I asked him
how his weekend was and he replied with, "I spent my whole weekend study for our Social
Studies test." He seemed so annoyed with me, and I totally forgot to about that test. That is another
subject I am going to fail. There was always one thing I wonder about and that was why I was ever

7. Essay about school days
Now that I am coming to the end of high school and to the beginning of my college education, it
scares me to death. Going to school has been one of my biggest priorities and the most routine part
of my life for the past thirteen years. I have many more years to get through, but the years that I
spent in elementary school and junior high were the most memorable. I have learned so much since
then, it has made me a different person today. I have so many memories from my earlier years in
school. I especially remember how much easier it was back then and how much harder it is
becoming now as I get older.

Especially since I would always get in trouble for it. For some reason I do not remember much about
first grade. I do not know if it was because it was just a boring year of school or because I just did
not like the teacher. One thing I do remember about first grade is that I won the spelling bee. That
was a big accomplishment for me in first grade. I think the challenge of first grade was the whole
reading concept. Learning how to read is very difficult for a little six year old. I was actually very
good at reading, which made me enjoy first grade a little more. I am just glad that it is over with.
When I was in second grade it was a big year for me. The main reason is because I made my First
Holy Communion. My family is very religious and they were very proud of me for making my
Communion. My teacher in second grade was Mrs. Lignowski. She was an old women, but she
was very nice. The main subject in second grade was of course religion, so it was not very
exciting was a child, but it means a lot in my life now. We would take many trips across the street
to the church and practice what we would do in a mass. I remember being absolutely terrified to
make a confession with Father Hanley. That was part of making your first Communion so we had
to do it. I of course did not confess my sins face–to–face, so I went in the confessional booth. It is
done and over with now, it still kind of makes me nervous if I were to do it to this day.

8. My Life As A Student
My life as a student has been a fairly good one. I've received good grades throughout all my years
of high school and pride myself as an intelligent individual. But my individual ability to grow and
learn has been always changing and shifting as I have grown. I think that currently, I am at a low
point in my mindset and learning ability, but there is hope on the horizon. This essay will explore
the growth and mindset of Will Roser, and how I can grow as a learner, friend, and individual. As
a student, I have some habits that I rely on, both good and bad. I am usually a good student,
receiving above average grades and I am moderately happy with them. My strength is that I
always get everything done on time. I never have an excuse because my work is always done. I
pride myself on that fact. And although that may seem like a good quality, the fact that I
procrastinate so much does affect how good that work may be. So yes, I always finish my work
which is always a good thing, but it may be at the expense of my sleep schedule. I tend to do most of
my work the day before, despite telling myself over and over again that it needs to be done earlier.
Luckily I have hope for my habits as I am still young. I still have to work on my procrastination but I
think that I can improve as long as I start to see the benefits of starting work early. As William
James says in his essay Habit, "The period between twenty and thirty is the critical one in the
formation of intellectual and

9. Essay on A Day in School Life
A Day in School Life
The day begins with a high–pitched yell, "moooooooorninnnnng" from my mother. I wake up tired
with a headache as I think I have a cold. I rush to leave the house, my father complains about the
lack of urgency in my movement by shouting out the time every five minutes.
There is not enough time to drink my tea; the tea burns my tongue as I gulp it down my throat,
leaving a nasty taste. I ran as fast as I can towards my bus stop. Upon arriving I realize that despite
the hectic hurry of mornings I am actually early. "I really should tell my parents what time the bus
comes so my mornings can be more relaxed," I tell myself.

However, I come to realize that the squabbling penguins are not very interesting so I find
somewhere comfortable and detached to sit and my mind wanders off.
The official day starts with a tutor period. My mood is lifted as I make quite a few people laugh.
The first lesson is French. The teacher is absent so I am free to take part in a conversation with my
friend concerning the weekend. The teacher next door keeps telling us to keep quiet. For some
reason the rest of my fellow students feel the need to shout and keep getting louder after each
complaint.
The second period begins. The teacher ignores my enquiries as to whether we will be using the
"metro " book this lesson then yells at me for not having written the title in my book, even though
she hasn't started the lesson or even written the title on the board. When I point this out to the
teacher another student already distracts her. After twenty minutes, the tiredness sets in and hinders
my work effort. The headache from that morning begins to throb and my eyes are itchy and
bloodshot.
The mountain scenery contrasts against the blockish and uninspiring appearance of the school, as it
leaves a light and breezy atmosphere. The sea breeze carries a sense of freshness, which promotes an
industrious work ethic. However, during the summer months the stifling heat and humidity
