Carolina Flores's Life Analysis

To many freshman the first day of high school is the opening chapter of a new novel, a fresh start to a sometimes embarrassing middle school experience we would all just love to erase from our memories. August 13th, 2012 was the beginning of my four year long narrative at Cypress Bay High School. Despite my desperate desire to grow up, become an adult, and move far away from my parents for college all that did not seem possible because I had never previously attended a public school. I was struck with fear that I would not be able to adjust to the fast pace dynamics of a large high school.

Working in schools for over 20 years, Ms. Morris has gathered a great deal of experience working with students. She has taught in parts of Tennessee, Florida, and Waterloo, Iowa, and has worked with hundreds of students there. What brought Ms. Morris to East High School was the enormous amount of school spirit students had. After attending a school game and experiencing the pride students had for their school first hand, Ms. Morris knew that East High was where she wanted to be. Surrounded by students who were so drenched in their school, she felt stronger desire to get a chance to work with East High Scarlets and fell in love quite quickly.

In the article “Doing School” by Denise Clark Pope , a senior lecturer and alumni at Stanford Graduate School of Education, Pope follows three students from Faircrest High through daily life as a highschooler, to see what it was really like. She then explains her thoughts and research on the different school dynamics and what kind of students they are producing.

Lexi Herrick would describe her high school experience as involved and inclusive. “I was allowed the opportunity to stand out and try a bunch of different things, which I think empowers you when you get to college and to the career force. A lot of times you have to pick one niche or one part of yourself to really hone into, but I think the high school experience at Hanover makes you more diverse.”

As I prepare to graduate from Emil A. Cavallini Middle School, I feel tremendous pride for being waitlisted at an institution where academic achievement and social as well as moral values are prioritized. Exeter’s high standard of excellence would encourage me to compete against myself, while the collaboration necessary in the Harkness system would prepare me for the world. When I first walked onto the campus, the culture was in no short supply. By simply talking to my tour guide Jack, I felt a sense of belonging like no other. He was very helpful, welcoming, and relatable; we laughed at the same things and he astonished me with every experience he spoke of. Even though Jack attended one of the most respected schools in the country, he was very humble. From his words, I knew that Exeter was a place where I could not only learn, but grow as a person as the near-culmination of my

Ms. Blakovich’s first impressions of WAHS was that she was blown away by the facilities and opportunities. “WAHS has so many incredible opportunities for students when it comes to classes, activities, and sports that it really creates a unique high school experience for all and an experience that you should definitely take advantage of. For instance, why didn't my high school have a TV production class? I don't know, but now I'm bummed that we didn't! It's just so cool to me.”

In summary, a person can change from the smallest things like Melinda. Whether it would be a conflict with a friend like Heather, gardening, or finding a safe haven like an old janitor’s closet. Although high school may seem hard, scary and stressful sometimes; in the end you will find ways to change and/or transform your perspective to make school enjoyable. If Melinda can change and overcome what she has been through, anyone can grow stronger

When I was in my last year of middle school, I knew that Ramon C. Cortines of visual and performing arts was the school for me. However i encountered a slight problem that could have affected me from going. The school was in downtown and I live in south central. There was another high school that was right around the corner, where i could have taken an easier approach to my high school years. I could have woken up later, eaten breakfast and I didn’t need to rush myself. Going to my local school, Augustus F. Hawkins, would’ve given me a simple, painless morning where i didn’t have to wake up at six o’clock. However, Hawkins didn't offer the things that I wanted, and the environment of the school made me uncomfortable. It was a high school ridden

Kassidy has been at Easton school for basically her whole life, she left in 3rd grade and returned in 8th. She regrets no trying hard enough during her freshman year. Her motivations that got her through high school was music, and her friends. Kassidy didn't play sports in high school, but she did archey for the first three years. The subject that challenged her the most was english with Mrs. Allenbaugh. Julie Miller was her favorite staff member because “she always motivated me to keep going.” Kassidy says.the accomplishment Kassidy is looking forward to is making a living for herself. I asked her if she could go back in time and tell her self something, what would it be? She said “To try harder in school and finish homework on time.”

Upon being asked by a new friend about “What it was like to attend Jeffersonville High School?” and “How do you feel about becoming an alumni of JHS?”, I will have bittersweet memories of this unforgettable time in my life. In order to answer their question, I will have to reminisce on the wonderful educators, coaches, and students that I’ve encountered in my time at Jeff High. I will say that I was able to learn lessons in high school that I can carry with me for the rest of my life and I wouldn’t trade the experience. I would not be the person I am if I hadn’t been academically challenged by my teachers and mentally/physically challenged by my amazing athletic coaches. Individuals who don’t attend Jeff High, miss out on a chance to be apart

The decision to leave the large public high school in Montclair, New Jersey, where I grew up was, in one sense, an unanticipated change of direction. I recognized by the latter part of my sophomore year that I needed to find a new setting where I could better realize my academic potential. I had studied at Columbia University's Gifted and Talented program the summer after my freshman year and was ready for something more. And thus I enrolled at Simon's Rock: a small, academically intense environment with a strong core curriculum. The

My high school years, unlike the past years of steady achievements, felt much more like a sine graph with ups and downs. To begin with, I conquered my freshman year in a breeze. My easily achievable classes not only earned myself confidence, but also admiration and respect from my classmates and teachers. As a result, I comfortably acclimated myself to the status of a star student.

High school often times has a drastic effect on many students. From freshman to seniors, everyone looks at high school with a different perspective. Some love it, some hate it, and some just go because they have to, or the exact opposite; they don’t show up because “high school is not important.”

It had been a year since I transferred to Lakewood High School. Just like with every other school, I had busy days going to and from classes and trying my best to finish the not-so-modest amount of homework assigned to me. However, this school was different from the rest too. Instead of racing through the halls in fear of being late for class, my schedule now allowed me some time to take a breath and calmly walk to wherever I was going. While the subjects were still boring and there was still plenty of homework, somehow, it didn't feel as difficult as it did before, and the teachers were very nice. In fact, the whole atmosphere was very
