Recommended: The problem of bullying in schools

Although most people think all high schools are the same, my experience in switching schools said otherwise. Going to Mount Juliet High School then transferred to Lebanon High School taught me a lot of different things. Transferring made me realize people are not the same everywhere; I learned the environment, people, and teachers are very different.

I attended Mount Juliet High School for my freshman year and Lebanon High School for the remainder of my high school years. The people at Mount Juliet were very nice but kinda uptight, whereas at Lebanon most of the people were rude and bullies. I enjoyed my time at Mount Juliet high school far more better than I did in Lebanon. The people at Mount Juliet were always friendly and willing to help you whenever you need help. At Lebanon that did not happen as often as I was used to; Lebanon High School also has a big problem with bullying. …show more content…

Mount Juliet actually cared about your education and wanted you to succeed in life. On the other hand, Lebanon High did not care about what was happening within the school. Teachers did not really teach and you did not have to do much at all to pass, as long as you get to walk the line they do not really care about your academic future. Since the teachers do not care they have a lot of students drop out of school because they do not care either; therefore, I realized if I want to go to college I will have to do it with no

    I preferred Romeo and Juliet to Shakespeare in Love because Romeo and Juliet felt like a tragedy, while Shakespeare in Love was sad at the end but there wasn’t as much bloodshed and violence, and nobody in Shakespeare in Love were bitter and heartbroken at the end besides Shakespeare and Viola. Even though it was hard to understand at times I like the iambic pentameter and poetic language in Romeo and Juliet. Although I did enjoy the humorous parts of Shakespeare in Love but there was still funny parts in Romeo and Juliet.

    Being in a little community and little school, 150 in the graduating class, made it nice that there was constantly a lot of school spirit and the community was constantly included in everything the school had been going on such as; any games for any kind of sports, any fundraisers or any volunteer work that needed to be done. All the students and teachers were greatly welcoming; it wasn’t highly diverse at all. If I had graduated from there, there would have been only four African Americans in my graduating class. From experience and in my opinion, racism is a big cause of violence and causes more drugs; this school didn’t have any violence and very little drug use from what I saw of students. Everyone knowing everyone made it easier for everyone to get along, there was never much drama, even being a girl.

    Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a tragic love story about two young lovers who are forced to be estranged as a result of their feuding families. The play is about their struggle to contravene fate and create a future together. As such, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood would try and emulate Shakespeare’s masterpiece. This had been done before in many films. Prominent among them were, Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 “Romeo and Juliet” and Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 “William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet.” Both films stay true to the themes of Shakespeare’s original play. However, the modernised Luhrmann film not only maintains the essence of Shakespeare’s writings, Luhrmann makes it relevant to a teenage audience. This is done through the renewal of props and costumes, the reconstruction of the prologue and the upgrading of the setting, whilst preserving the original Shakespearean language. Out of the two, it is Luhrmann who targets Romeo & Juliet to a younger audience to a much larger extent than Zeffirelli.

    At this point you’re probably thinking well Juliet of course, but hang with me. What about Rosaline? If Romeo would have met Rosaline instead of Juliet at the Capulet’s party? Would Romeo and Juliet still be the “star-crossed lovers” the text makes them to be? Personally I believe that Romeo would find love with Rosaline because they would meet and fall in love.

    When i got to Morrisville, there were so many different people that was not like anything i have ever seen. By this time i was in first grade so i hadn 't seen much of anything honestly. When i started school i was of course the “new kid”. Being the new kid was the scariest thing to me because i have never made or never had to make new friends before because somehow everybody i knew and went to school with in Lexington was somehow my family. Well atleast the ones i talked to were. So you can only imagine how scared i was when i stepped in the classroom with the resource officer and the principle introducing me to everybody, and having all of these peoples eyes on me. Turns out i never had a problem because all the kids were nice, plus i was good in sports so that made them like me even more. While being up there became less frightening, everything became harder. I found myself in a gold Ford Expedition going back and forth from moorisville to Lexington, we moved around a lot p there so i never really had a consistent group of friends outside of school, and in school was majorly hard because of the work. I have never experienced work that hard in Lexington. I went from getting all a’s in lexington, to a parent teacher conference every other week. So you can only imagine how that went.

    I come from Bedford, Indiana; a small town that is about the size of a quarter. On the first day of my sophomore year, my cousin allowed me to ride with him to what the locals call “the mansion on the hill.” The school had three floors, two above ground, and one below. The building itself covered six acres. The sports fields added another four acres. The previous year had ended the three-year construction schedule. Most of the school was brand new. As we walked in, the sight of people running around, and the sound of teenagers screaming at the top of their lungs about the new school year, made me think we had just walked through the gates of hell.
