Hanford High School

Toward the end of my junior year of high school, I was given a blue paper with a space for teacher approval and space for an ‘X’ mark. This was the senior classes sign-up sheet for what classes we wanted to take in our last year in high school. Having always been interested in and fascinated by the sciences, I put an ‘X’ next to Biology II – Honors. I had never taken an honors science class before, but I was able to get my teacher at the time’s signature in the space next to the class name. I had

start of my reading career. After I finished this book I moved on to a new book. This time I read all seven books of the Harry Potter series. I always felt cool in class when reading these books because as we all know they are very thick books. At school we would go to the library once a week and the librarian would read parts of a chapter book to us. This was my favorite part of the week. I would check out the book that she would read to us and read it so that I would already know what was going

entitled, A Tale of Two Schools: How Poor Children Are Lost to the World, by Jonathan Kozol, the writer is comparing the differences between New Trier High School, a school in Illinois that’s nestled in an affluent neighborhood against Du Sable High School, a school situated in an impoverished neighborhood that has 100% African American student in attendance. The article sadden and confirms things that myself and many others are already aware of, but has not been able to change. Schools located within the

those legally obligated to do so. Requiring hours of community service has been seen as a punishment for criminals in the past. Despite this still being true, community service has recently become a requirement for a whole new part of society. Many high schools are now requiring hours of community service to be performed by students before they are allowed to receive their diploma. Criminals must

From early childhood to adolescence, school is an institution where young people are taught technical skills like reading and math, as well as a place where they learn about morals and develop an understanding of the world around them. The ultimate goal of school is to prepare students to effectively navigate society as an adult. In order to achieve this, somes schools enforce strict rules and disciplinary actions, while others

learning-oriented schools for their children. In 1996, President Bill Clinton challenged schools that “ … if it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms.” (Boutelle 36). As a result, the "Manual on School Uniforms" was issued by the government to provide guidelines for those considering establishing a school uniform policy. Ever since, proponents and opponents of mandated school uniforms

out well in the end for them, so after reading this book I think everything will be just fine for me. Ever since graduating high school many career plans have run through my mind, many of them have been careers that are high risk, high reward type of jobs.

University because I believe that the MCU can make my dreams become true. The only issue I have is Mathematics. I don’t like math since high school. Since I was a kid, I always loved computers and everything related to technology. I started programing when I got into high school. So far I have only built software’s to manage businesses such as: Hotels, shops, schools, pharmacies, and clinics. I am not sure if I will be able to major in computer science because I don’t like mathematics. The strange

That is when it hits you and realize you are the one going crazy and you are thirty seconds away from arriving at your destination. The road towards the school is beautiful during the summer. As you enter, you see green everywhere; an awesome feeling of nature approaches your heart as the fresh air rushes inside your nose and you begin to liberate your lungs. The street takes you on a small happy ride with
