It's Time To Raise My High School Career

Personally, I would encourage all the freshman and sophomores that I converse with to start looking at colleges and get the best grades possible right now because high school goes by faster than you think. I went through high school just coasting when I know I have the ability to get great grades and even be in the top of my class. If i knew that my senior year would have came this soon I would have gotten prepared a lot earlier than I am now. Now that it’s my senior year and I’m looking at these colleges most of them aren’t even looking at me because of my grades and it is a terrible feeling knowing that I could have gotten prepared sooner and have a better future than now.

Don't judge any one because if you do judge people during high school then they may never be your friend and in high school there are a lot of group projects all so you may desperately need their help and they may not assist you because you were mean to them. Don't be like odysseus Don't brag to a Cyclopes and be rude don't think of yourself smarter than anyone else be kind and caring. Don't become an egotistical “hero Figure” and think you're better than anyone else.

“There’s a freshman! Let’s stuff him in the trashcan!” There are so many new things that you learn during your first year of high school. These new things that you learn will either affect you or not affect you the slightest bit. When you don’t quite understand the new things you learn ask an upperclassman they have already been through what you are experiencing.

To all the kids about to be freshmen, and have been told high school is either going to be a breeze or a struggle, I can assure you it's much easier the more effort you put in. While it may not be a walk in the park, it is definitely not a sprint. Your attitude is going to be a major part in your experiences. The more effort that you put into it, the easier it will be to make it through high school. Coming to school energized each and every day with the attitude that you are determined to learn at least one new thing each day will make it a more positive and enlightening experience. School is a free education that most people are not able to experience. Why not make the most of it? Learn what you can while you're there. Be proactive in your

There are some things that you do not desire to accomplish your freshman year. Although on the other hand, there are something’s that freshman should try. If I could go back to being a freshman, I would want to make sure I attempt all the actives. Secondly, I wouldn’t be concerned what others contemplate of me. Lastly, I would tell you to take all the college credits that your school offers, these will help your degree of choice. These are some tips for high school.

During my school career, I have excelled in science, math, and music. I enjoy these areas of study, and I like the challenge each disciple requires. I feel my background in these areas has prepared me to begin work on an engineering degree. During high school, I took AP math and science classes and did well on the AP exams. In addition, I took a robotics class for three years, and competed in the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) state robotics competition, two of the three years. In addition to academic classes, I was in the marching band and advanced concert band playing the most difficult part each season. I participated in the UIL state solo and ensemble contest and state marching contest multiple times. Once at Texas A&M, I joined

8:00 am. Get to class, don't make eye contact, sit down quietly, participate only when necessary. These are the actions taken by a freshman straight out of high school, just about two weeks after her graduation, to fit in to a totally new community. Coming from an all girls school in the upper east side, Berkeley College was and, sometimes still is, a culture shock. My high school only had approximately 200 girls overall and I graduated with only a class of 36 girls, even a class size too small for that school, but Berkeley College has however many campuses stocked with people. But high school was high school and this is college. It’s time for me to grow up, mature, and take responsibility for my own establishment in this world, but how?

I am a penny hoarder because I’ve worked every summer since I have started high school. My very first job was working in my grandfather’s company cleaning the offices every week. This job has taught me the importance of responsibility, and encouraged me to go out and find another job. After two years, I was hired at the local park district to work first hand with young girls, teaching them discipline, skills, and teamwork through the sport of cheerleading. This was my favorite job all throughout high school because I love working with kids, but unfortunately you can only be in high school to be a coach, so I did this for two years. My last year of high school I worked at a different park district at a summer camp where I created activities

Your high school career can be a roller coaster. It all depends on what you make of it. Some people make the best of it and when they leave they want to come back. While others make the worst of it and would never come back. High school is a difficult time of your life. When you go into ninth grade you know what you want your high school career to be like but usually their is some bumps in the road. High school can be a riot if you make it that way.

Looking back, there are a plethora of interesting accomplishments I have attained throughout my high school career. I swam with dolphins in the Bahamas, I bring smiles to faces while working at a nursing home 3 times every week, I was privileged to admire the beauty of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, and I was invited to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York. I could go on to discuss how one of these entitlements shaped me, because they definitely did, but instead I would like to write about something that I have dedicated everything for. Something that controls every decision I make. Something I am so passionate about, that my application would be incomplete without it, and that is marching band. Being in the marching band has turned the last four years of my life around completely by teaching me time management skills, giving me the opportunity to constantly perform, and allowing me to build relationships that I have only ever dreamed of having.

According to the Hagans scholarship foundation website, this scholarship is designed for students in need that have the drive and intelligence to succeed in college. My future career has always been in the forefront of my mind, and many of the decisions I have made have been swayed by that persistent thought. Although academics have alway been prioritized during my high school career, I also found time for a variety of activities and hobbies as well as for a job and my family.

My high school career was mediocre. I was that average student, did not talk much, did not care about my grades, just being carefree about my life. Therefore, when I finally decided to reevaluate myself, it was too late. The effort of AP classes, earning a decent GPA, receiving a below average SAT score, and failing one class, just shot my hopes to going at least a CSU. Lack of skill, participation, and arrogance, shot my confidence down the drain. The fall of my high school career started when I failed in a class.

Remember how in high school they tell you that junior year is the most important year of your entire high school career and it's the best time to make yourself shine and show your “dedicated to your work and love being apart of your high school community”? I'm certain you’ll remember because you probably still tell kids this today. My experience wasn't so great, but I have a story to tell about it.

In my high school career, my only focus was on my dream job, becoming an Plastic Surgeon. However, I also stressed about going to College, entering into the BS/MD program and obtaining a degree that allows me to pursue my dream. Although, throughout high school I’ve have faced many obstacles, most of which began at the start of high school. I also had emotional obstacles as in the middle of my Sophomore year as I transferred schools from Scioto to Olentangy High School, the place I struggled the most and a school I regret attending. The school has changed me in a way that made it more difficult for myself to regain how I was before and for me to find the drive I once had before in school.

As some high school students might think their educational career is not much compared to graduates with masters and PhD degrees but I feel that my educational career as a high school student is very much up to par, as those other graduates. On my way to graduating high school I look at that as a success. One of many that I am hoping for in my far future. I am Isamar Velazquez a soon to be senior this fall at Cass Technical High school and my educational career will soon be embarking on a journey for greatness.
