12 Year Old Research Paper

Freshman 101 is a class adapted from the parrot program (Fay & Medway, 2006, p. 226). The parrot program was designed for college students at Cornell University. Freshman 101 is the first of its kind in the state of South Carolina and the first to extend Parrot’s college program to high school freshmen (p. 226). Each two-hour intervention class contained 25 to 30 freshmen students. The objectives of the class were to have participants understand the definition of acquaintance rape and the frequency that it takes place along with South Carolina’s laws regarding rape (p. 226). Students also learned about mixed messages associated with verbal and non-verbal communication and how to clearly state their wants and desires (p. 227). Communication,

When it comes down to it, I am a weirdo. If someone were to take a consensus of what people thought of me, it would defiantly be along the lines of that, however people probably would have come to that conclusion for some other reason all together. The reason I’m talking about here is because I know how to ride a unicycle and juggle. I have had the basic talents for becoming a circus performer since I was seven and I’m still accumulating a repertoire of amusing, yet odd talents that, who knows, maybe one day will be useful.

Throughout our lives, we will endure plenty of mistakes and take ownership of situations we did not mean to create. When asking the question ‘If you were to get one do-over in life, what would it be and why?’, my answer would be to attend an early college high school.

This writing challenge is kind of impossible, how can a 16 year old me reading this? But, a challenge is a challenge, so here it is:

Attending Cross Creek Early College High School is interesting to me because I will be able to complete high school and some college courses at the same time. I have always dreamed of going to college and this is school will allow me to get a head start on my goals and ambitions. My goal is to be the first person in my family to attend and graduate from college with a bachelor’s degree. Here you need to explain your career goal or what you want to major in. It is my belief that Cross Creek Early College will provide me with the support to reach this goal and to let my other family members know that a college degree will allow me to be a productive citizen.

“Since 9/11, (America’s airport security has) largely been a line of defense ahead of a departure gate to keep dangerous people and dangerous materials off a plane. By Bin Laden’s calculations, its cost $56 billion since 9/11. In one sense, it is worked as planned: No planes have been blown up or hijacked for a decade” (Airport Security Statistics). This quote explains that since 9/11 the airport security’s line of defense has been successful so far in keeping the people and the dangerous materials off the planes. While there are people who think that airport security is too strict, there are others who think that it is just fine the way it is right now. “They check every

Sophomore year had ended, and my summer had just begun. After a long wait to gain permission to go on a backpacking trip. My father gave me the approval. I took my love for the outdoors and began to explore it even more.

Freedom is all about being independent and making your own choices and decisions. Freedom is about not having to listen to other people and being able to do what you want and when you want to. With making all these choices on your own requires responsibility. Responsibility and freedom go hand in hand with each other.

If someone ask me what is my favorite memories in high school for now. I’ll says that is my sophomore year. Because sophomore year is the year that changed my mind and my life, the year that I meet my awesome friend and everyone look at me a different way and here is what happened to my sophomore year.

I can fairly say that sophomore year of high school has changed who I am completely. In sophomore year I decided to take on miscellaneous experiences to gain valuable work ethic that will help me to persist in college. These include joining a sport, and being accepted into a three year paid internship after going through an interview.Being the daughter of parents with a restricted income has limited my plans of funding my college education. My father is retired and my mother is a housewife which minimizes our financial abilities, however, this doesn’t prevent me from my pursuit of a college education. Gathering a sufficient amount to cover for my tuition and fees has been on my mind since sophomore year of high school, so I started to save up.

Freshman year is not to be taken lightly. When teachers and staff tell you that freshman year is a crucial part of high school, they mean it. Students who dive into freshman year with the notion that it’s insignificant because it’s the first year of high school are alarmed at the effect it has on their following years. The years following grade nine are almost entirely determined by your achievements and effort during freshman year. How you grow and progress will define what classes you take in your sophomore, junior, and senior year at Durfee, and what kind of opportunities become available to you.

College students have no yet grasped the threat of this cancer, according to researchers at Auburn University who followed 131 students over four years of college at least 70% saw a dramatic increase of 12-37 pounds. They take lightly the common pop culture reference for weight gain, the freshman fifteen; if college kids are looking at stats like these, then they begin to develop fear, which is the most important step to change or prevent an unhealthy lifestyle. Too many are suffering from health related diseases from their poor choices and I believe this is mainly due to the lack of knowledge. It’s easy to say it should be required for all college kids to take a health course or gym in order for them to learn how to live a healthier lifestyle

I think our country should have 18-year-olds serve in compulsory military service. There are many beneficial things from this, you will learn some discipline if you didn't already have some, also you won't have to pay a full college tuition. However, you can't choose where you go, you do what they say, not what you want.

You’re a freshman right now. You’re soft, sensitive, and vulnerable. You’ll meet a girl who happens to be four years older than you. You’ll give her all of your heart. You will open up to her and believe every word she tells you, most of which turn out to be lies. You’ll start lying to your family because of her. She’ll demand you stop talking to friends that she doesn’t like. She will be the reason you let your grades drop. She will have complete and utter control over you, but you won’t notice, nor believe it if someone told you at that time.

Remember when you were 16? And you actually first started to receive real, more mature decisions to be able to make yourself? And most of the time, you didn't make the best decision, right? Like, when you thought dying your hair purple and bleaching it yourself was a good idea, but your mom or dad stopped you, maybe saying “you’ll thank me someday“, yeah, that's because they were 16 once, and they matured and lived longer to know better and to know that 16 year olds are stupid, and sometimes, tend to make the wrong decision, or maybe tend to to follow what everyone thinks is right, or cool and “correct” at the time to young, inexperienced with life, young adults. Something like voting for our next elected representative is not to be taken
