High school is one of the biggest decisions that I, as a young teenager, has to make. I am truly concerned that I am going to choose a school that is not going to help me. Though immediately as I walked through the doors of Thomas More High School for the open house in 2014, I knew right then and there that this was the school for me. I loved the environment and how everyone was so welcoming. The academics fit perfectly for what I want to do in my future. There are other little details that really sold me on the school. It had ultimately a great school that had everything that I could ever ask for.
Recently I went to the Thomas More’s open house for a second time and I decided to take the initiative to visit the teachers of my favorite subjects.
Wanting to attend Archbishop Mitty High School had never been a question of mine. I aim to go far in life and I am confident that AMHS is the school that will lead me down that path. By shadowing and attending the open house, I noticed that AMHS is like a second home to its members. The positive vibe radiating through its students offers me something to look forward to and another reason to wake up in the morning and go to school. Although I wasn’t a student, I was treated as if I belonged. I enjoyed how I didn’t have to be noteworthy to be accepted. Unlike typical high school movies, I could be myself without worrying about judgmental stares. I am certain many unforgettable memories will be made.
High School is every Junior High students dream. It is a time in a student’s life where he/she receives a large amount of freedom as well as responsibility. Mom no longer accompanies the teenagers at the movies and one can even drive himself/herself there. Academics are important also because these grades determine if you are college bound material. But, are freedom and academics the only parts of a solid High School career? I myself believe that there is more to High School then freedom and academics. High School is also a time when young adults are entering into society as individuals. They are on their way to adulthood and their education during this time should stretch further than just an academic education. I attended a private high school known as "Brother Rice High School", where I received more than just an academic experience. When some people hear the word "Private" school they think of words such as: "Stuck up," "Rich," or "Snobby," but these are not accurate portrayals. One must look inside the doors of the school before making such negative connotations and if you did you would realize that this is not the case. Brother Rice High School is an academic institution that teaches young men academic fundamentals as well as Christian morals and social values.
It wasn't a typical Friday for Josh, the curly haired sophomore. He was just finishing shoving his backpack in his locker when his friend, Taylor, came up to him and said their goodbyes. As the principal told all the students to go outside for announcements over the intercom, Josh left through the back door to be alone instead. He did not tend to have good friends and if he did, they didn't stick with him very long.
On October 29th Saturday, I participated in a volunteer opportunity with the democratic campaign. The office had more than 20 people, some of them were making phone calls. I received a package with a map, a list of people’s name, address, and other basic information about the person. My duty was knocking those people’s doors and ask them “who are you going to vote?” “Do you have any things that you want to say about the society?” I do not have a car so they assigned me to the place which is located in walking distance from Beloit College. A married couple who were at the office offered me a ride to Campus. Both of them are in their 50’s. They told me that they have a friend who is now teaching at a university in Tokyo, Japan. The lady also had been to Japan in 1980 as a student. Her husband did not talk much.
Before I enrolled into SAC, I was a non-fan of sports, nervous, young man, who heard about SAC from a friend in Upper School and has tons of hopes for Grade 9. Something was hold me back to go to SAC. , although that "something” terminated after I knew that everyone were Andrean Brothers and that's why I'm currently aiming to perfect the role of a well-rounded citizen. As they say, “Friends are the most ingredient in the recipe of life”. Friends, like Daniel Zhao, who told me about this school changed my whole life. Once I stepped on Andrean soil, I knew that I was part of something special. In addition, I never had "fun" in sports events because I thought I might get hurt. Yet when I joined SAC sports teams, I was afraid
Fairfax High School is a great place to go to school. There is multiple reasons why Fairfax is a great school to go to. The best thing is that all of the teachers actually care about their students, and are hard on them so they work harder. In big schools where there is about 30 kids or more in every class and the teachers teach the same thing for each period all day long. Those big school teachers don’t really care at all what grade their students get in their class. At Fairfax if students get a bad grade teachers are willing to give their students a second chance to get a better one. Also those teachers would take time after school to help their students understand to stuff they have been learning. Teachers
At first, the Latin teacher, Mr. McAllister taught his students from their desks. He did the textbook worksheets, and it was a very structured, boring class. Then Mr. Keating came along. Mr. Keating took his classes on walks outside to teach them different life lessons, having an interactive style class. Mr. McAllister saw how much more productive his class was, going outside and experiencing things instead of just hearing them.
Following my end of my education at the Saint Marys Catholic Middle School, I was looking for a way to give back to the school that blessed me with so much knowledge over the past three years. One of my favorite teachers, Mrs. Bon, gave me that opportunity. She was the librarian at the middle school and needed help in organizing and doing inventory of the school library. I enjoyed assisting my former teacher in doing this. Through my hard work, I was able to give back to the Saint Marys Catholic Middle School.
In conclusion, teens’ having the freedom of making their own choices has its down sides as well as its good sides. If someone is not able to make a decision that really was not right for them, then they would never know what it feels like and will not have the knowledge that they should not do it again. Most teens know what the right things to do are, especially when it comes to helping others, like their elders. Also, they know that they have to think about the decisions they are making and how the choice they make will affect them and those around them. There are approximately 600 students in Lorenzo Walker Technical High School. This means, about 600 teenagers chose to come to a school that would lead them on the right path. Essentially, having a wide opportunity for choices is helpful for today’s American teens.
I remember the years preceding senior year at Corcoran High; I remember quite vividly, 9th, 10th, and 11th grade. I recall the meals the school used to serve students. They weren’t too bad; some were decent and were often looked forward to. I have had many experiences at this school, but none stand parallel with the experience I had with this year’s lunch program. The lunch meals being served to the students at Corcoran High are not nutritious, healthy, or at all fresh. The school claims the meals are healthy and harmless, yet the taste, scent, and the students’ judgment reveal otherwise. I understand that Corcoran High is trying to save money, but spending a few extra dollars certainly wont hurt. It is necessary for this matter to become a
First of all, choosing a school was difficult at the time, many were bad schools and others were good schools. So after many days of thinking, I had narrowed my choices down to two high schools. One high school was four hours away from home, that was Alchesay High School and the other was about five minutes away, that one was Mountain Pointe High School. I had to think more. I could either stay with my mom and sisters in Phoenix or leave and stay with my grandma back on our reservation. While thinking of a high school to go to, I also had to think of what
At the first arrival I was introduced to Mrs.Guldin, and got to know a little about her she briefly introduced me to the kids and they continued with their lesson. I noticed the class room was very decorative As many as hundreds of wall ...
During my time as a teaching assistant I realized that I thoroughly enjoy teaching others. Each week the professor
Let’s flash back in time to before our college days. Back to then we had lunch trays filled with rubbery chicken nuggets, stale pizza, and bags of chocolate milk. A backpack stacked with Lisa Frank note books, flexi rulers, and color changing pencils. The times where we thought we wouldn’t make it out alive, but we did. Through all the trials and tribulations school helped build who I am today and shaped my future. From basic functions all the way to life-long lessons that helped shape my character.
The week of October 2nd through October 6th began with an ARD on Monday morning at 9:10 a.m. the meeting went for about an hour and the parents were concerned about some of the teachers who are not providing the accommodations according to the individual needs of the student. As a committee, we discussed some changes that needed to be recorded and the administrator assured that she would call in the teachers who were not adhering to these policies. I attended a faculty meeting where we discussed Title 1, the McKinney Vento Act, Leap Forward, CBA’s, flat panels, homecoming, red ribbon week, attendance policies, band achievement awards, duty, and technology. Ms. Menchaca spent some time explaining to the staff the importance of submitting attendance on time because she
