I think the improvements for the school are going to be significant, even though you may not be able to see them.”

    As many people have told me before, it is a very different ballgame than middle school’s easy going years. There is much more work, the classes are harder, and the environment is completely different. Many people’s grades may slip and they may cower in fear at the barrage of assignments they receive class after class. Unlike other people, I am confident in my ability to excel at all classes and to sustain exemplary grades. Therefore, while many are trembling in fear at the prodigious assignments and work is bombarding them from all angles, I will be at ease, knowing that whatever obstacle is thrown my way, I will conquer it and be its own

    Making the transition from middle school to high school is a huge stepping stone in a teenager’s life. High school represents both the ending of a childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It’s a rite of passage and often many teens have the wrong impression when beginning this passage. Most began high school with learning the last thing on their mind. They come in looking for a story like adventure and have a false sense of reality created through fabricated movie plots acted out by fictional characters. In all actuality high school is nothing like you see in movies, television shows, or what you read about in magazines.

    The process of looking for a job in my eyes is getting online and going directly to Craigslist.com or Monster.com. I thought that’s how everyone does it. The journey an actor or actress goes through is much more grueling then I could ever imagine, their hustle is ongoing and sometimes crushing when they don’t land parts. I normally apply for a job that I am already experienced in, a job that does not need much training, just direction.

They have a lot of options available to get them ready for any kind of opportunity that may be available.

    Having no job makes it easier to find time for schoolwork and It makes it a lot easier to get things done during the day. My boyfriend Trey and I are living in the basement of his retired parent's house since we move to Washington state about a year ago. I've started to get somewhat of a pattern going during the day. I wake up, run any errands, do all my chores, and get any craft projects done and then I sit down to do schoolwork before bedtime. My chore responsibilities are only limited to a few things since my boyfriend's mother Katje does most of the cooking and cleaning. I take about a good two to three hours every other week cleaning our studio sized living area. Every few days I'll do our laundry and clean the upstairs bathroom. Our hedgehog's cage gets cleaned once a week and the cats litter box gets cleaned daily.

  • My Senior Year of High School

    Having spent twelve years of my school life in just one small red brick building, the years tend to fade into each other. But the year I remember most clearly and significantly is my senior year of high school, where I finally began to appreciate what this institution offered to any student who stopped to look. Before, school had been a chore, many times I simply did not feel motivated toward a subject enough to do the homework well, and seeing the same familiar faces around ever since I was 5 years old grew very tiring soon enough. But I began to see things from a different angle once I became a senior.
