New Experience The senior interview was a unique and interesting experience. I have never done anything like it before. It was interesting seeing a senior’s (George’s) perspective. Due to this interview, how to succeed in high school was reiterated, I learned more about myself, and learned more about the interview process. I am now able to reflect on this encounter. Overall, it was a fascinating experience to discuss with a senior and learn about their high school career. I expected…
Take a deep breath. We’ve made it! We’re finally here! After 13 long years of homework, crowded hallways and waking up painfully at 6 am, we are about to graduate high school and forever be remembered as the Class of 2016, one of the best classes North Mesquite has had in years. Congratulations! Unfortunately, as one door opens another door closes. Take this time to look around you and realize that this will be the very last time the entire class of 2016 will be together. As we each take our…
This is my third year as a high school cheerleader. I am currently serving as the senior high cheer captain. Through the past three years of my high school career, cheer has continually impacted my life positively in more than one aspect. It has opened numerous doors for me. It has made me not only more physically active, but also more active in my school. Cheerleading has been the one activity that keeps me physically active. During football season, I have practice four times a week and a game…
According to the Institute of Education Sciences, there were a total of 1,420,900 crimes committed among high school students in 2013 alone; in addition, the violent crime rate at these schools was numbered at 62 percent. These staggering numbers show just how much illegal activity and violent crime that is being committed in high schools alone. Imagine the amount of innocent children being violated, hurt, or even killed. The people that are arrested for these crimes lose everything. They get…
A Senior, at Last Congratulations class of 2018!!! That’s what will be said after everyone walks down the line for their diploma. It took a while to get to this point, eighteen years or twelve school grades, but I made it. I think in some ways this has been one of the bigger milestones during my school life and even life. There is no doubt that my senior year has left a big impression on my life: from beginning to end. The beginning of my senior year was all about remembering my schedule…
I moved to Michigan in summer 2013. In fall 2013, I went to Crestwood High School for my senior year, and I had to take an ACT test to be able to apply to a four year institution. However, the test style…
Munford High School various would have shriveled under pressure and kept life’s tasks to oneself, however, Ann Smith, the new guidance counselor, stood her ground and became an inspirational soul that walked the halls of Munford High. Telling a personal story to the graduating senior of 2016, almost complete strangers, is terrifying for society as a whole, yet Mrs. Smith gives countless examples of how life has a funny way of figuring itself out showed a different side of herself to the seniors.…
After High School After high school, I want to go LA (Los Angeles), for our senior trip. I also want to work in Anchorage at CVRF (Coastal Villages Region Fund) for the summer internship. What I really want to do is attend AVTEC, which is a training program, or UAA, which is college. For the senior trip, I want to go Los Angeles because it is a really big city and there are so many lovely things to do in LA. For example, shopping would be fun and pretty cool. I would love to go to Knotts Berry…
The high school I attended was called Eastern Hills High School and was located in Fort Worth Texas. The area primarily contained students of middle and lower class. As far as race, about eighty percent of students were African American, ten percent were Hispanic, five percent were white, and the other five percent consisted of mixed races. Administration at my high school primarily consisted of women as they represented eighty percent of the staff. However, from high school, I also saw that the…
(source). The problem is that people in my school are unaware or don 't know enough about going into college; to solve this we must provide more information from counselors about college. Getting colleges and high schools involved with each other is the missing piece to this problem. I am personally going through the struggle of not feeling ready for college after my senior year of high school. The audience should care because it effects students in high schools which are the people who…
