At The Lawrenceville School, an elite high school, that pushes hundreds of students to academically achieve. Student’s, correctly distinguished the single most important concern is their GPA. For as long as anyone can remember a Lawrenceville education was centered around grades and the lengths students will go for an A. Stress levels of students are truly concerning; and all for what? A grade? It’s absurd the amount of attention comes from a grade on a paper. An entire life depends on how well you do on your English paper.

How can young adults be expected to apply themselves and reach out of their comfort zones to attack a…

“You are going to get a major.” The Dean uttered strongly. Feeling like I just took a bullet to the chest, I responded “I understand your decision making.” I came to The Lawrenceville School as a new third former, with hopes and dreams of succeeding in every aspect of boarding school life. Before coming here I dreamed of coming in and being handed a perfect gpa and commitment letter from a college for hockey on a silver platter; soon I realized this would require an absurd amount of work. I…
Three years ago I went to a hockey camp at Boston University. On the fourth day I suffered an injury to my neck. The scene was dramatic, and there were murmurs that suggested the injury could have been quite serious. I was lucky to just come away from the ordeal with some sheared hockey equipment and two weeks in a neck brace. The physical impact of the injury was short lived, but the impact it had on my life was significant. Before the camp, I did not concern myself with my future.…

difficult to locate particular places, regarding the topic. It is disappointing, as I lacked time to explore and experience many sites. However, I do recall places I’ve visited often within the Gwinnett County, which are associated with the following regions; The Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, East Asia, The Pacific. These places are less than 20 miles, because other areas where too distant. Moreover, other regions such as Central America, South America, North Africa-Southwest Asia,…
