A Short Note On Graduation

From a young age I have been taught that education is a tool and an opportunity that not many get the option of acquiring during their lifetime. Originally , It was not in my plans to graduate early so when I found out about the great news I felt very proud of all my small accomplishments that led up to this. Finding out that I had enough credits in order to graduate early was honorable. Even though there are still a few arrangements that need to be done like taking the ACT or SAT, I believe that with the help of my counselor I will be able to succeed. Being enrolled in the CNA - One semester program at the Peoria Tech campus is my first step into the career force. Upon completion of this course, Tech places students in a clinic/hospice to

Many middle schools claim to have either integrated or exploratory curricula. After visiting Alden Central School District website, I noticed that this school has a little bit of both curriculums; however, it tends to go more on the exploratory side. In other words, this school offers more courses on vocational studies then it does on integration of courses. According to the text, “Teaching Goals exploration fill the "gaps" in regular curriculum help students make future course decisions now stimulate and broaden students' educational options before it becomes a forced choice to choose”. One can see that the website is full of vocational courses for students. The school offers many courses that students can utilize to explore different career

I walk into the classroom and Mildred's looking at me. I can't believe it, she's looking at me. how wonderful it would be to sit and talk with her. For sure. That would help sooth the pain in my heart, at least for a little while, the thought of that bring on a slight smile. "Zach Parker you sit down right now!," a shout snaps me out of my thoughts. I look to me right shoulder and see Ms. Sparks glaring at me with her arms folded across her chest, I quickly look away, speed walk over to my desk, and sit down.

Graduating from college should be one of the best feelings in the world. Is not just a moment of happiness, but also a moment of proudness. There is an enormous difference between the people who graduate from college and the people who do not. Earning a college degree is one the smartest and most important achievements a person can achieve in life. College is not only making me a wiser person, but is also teaching me how to be open-minded. Dropping out of college is the biggest mistake I could make in my life right now because it can have many negative consequences in the future. As a college student, if I am unable to complete my college education, it will affect my income, lifestyle, and knowledge negatively in the future.

Now that autumn is upon us, we can reflect on what an amazing season The Apawamis Club had in its 125th year of service. From the United States Seniors’ Golf Association tour to the staggering numbers on the 4th of July and the countless weddings we have serviced thus far, WOW! My staff and I are all in awe of this season’s business, but can we expect anything less seeing that it is The Apawamis Club’s big 125th anniversary? What an incredible way to celebrate this banner year!

I nervously walked down the colorful hallway decorated with children’s art projects and posters with cliche quotes. I approached the room labeled 208, took a deep breath and opened the door. Instantly I felt the intense glare of 25 4th grade students. Their teacher introduced me and explained that I would be helping out once a week because I would be studying education in college. Giggles and whispers filled the room and even some comments about my above average height. After quieting the rambunctious children, the teacher proceeded to give the class a math assignment and then gestured me towards her desk. “Could you take Maya into the hallway and help her with this fractions worksheet?” She asked. I was shocked I didn't expect to be working

I have two years left before my anticipated graduation date. My parents and family are unable to offer me any financial support, as they devote all of their time and money to the three foster children that they are caring for, and also my little sister. I work a part-time job with Eckardt Electric, but my pay there goes to my car payments, gas to drive the 155 total miles from home to work to school each day, and also to any food or other bills that I have. The one scholarship that I have received is going to pay for half of this upcoming summer semester tuition and fees, and the rest of the fees I will have to save for and also accept a student loan, if possible. I am working off of a really tight budget to get by every day so that I can save

Meanwhile, my teacher blabbered on and on all about the dull classroom expectations that never prevail towards the end of any school year. The blabbering continued until footsteps were heard entering into the class. I looked at the entrance’s general vicinity and I saw no one other than Adelaine walk inside. I heard her softly apologise to our teacher for being late and she soon seated

I stumble into English about 5 minutes late, clutching three binders and feeling the stares of the class on me. I awkwardly walk to the back corner, sit down, and put my stuff on my desk. I look up to see Mrs. Kobayashi walking to the front of the room.

Since the beginning of junior year in high school, my desire to graduate and become successful has increased with every passing day. My parents are my motivation. My mother suffered greatly, yet continued to work hard to provide a better life for her four children. My father, who worked since the age of 9, worked everyday of his life to support his family, even if he could only find small jobs. One day I want to be able to return the love and support that they have given me, since the day of my birth. Graduating from college, being independent, and enjoying life are my top priorities. I am interested in a career that is both steady and exciting.

I finally found the classroom after asking a few other students where to go. I smiled knowing that I would love French, but not knowing if I would love the teacher. Mrs.Groom was her name as it was put up on the promethean board for all to see. I let my eyes wander around the room to see if I knew anyone. My eyes landed upon my red-head friend Kristyn. As she talked with another girl I didn't know the name of, I found a seat closet to her without technically sitting on top of her. French class went by in a rush, I didn't speak much because, I was nervous. The knot in my stomach had seemed to grow larger and tighter as the day progressed. The bell rang dismissing us and most students jumped at the chance to get out, but I had to stop pull out my schedule and look at it. I groaned inwardly as I saw that I had English I next. I picked up my stuff and walked out saying au reviour to Mrs.Groom. Due to the fact the English was not one of my stronger subjects, I wondered how I would do in it this year. Walking into the class, I take in the sights of the people sitting around the room. I noticed that I knew 9 people in this class. I smiled knowing that their were some people that I knew in here. I sat down in a seat wondering who my teacher was. I never bothered to look and see the name on the teacher on my schedule, but instead looked upon the board. Mrs.Goodwin was typed in black letter on the board. My thoughts immediately went to what her appearance was and what she sounded like. I was so deep into my own world I hadn't noticed that the door had been shut. I took in Mrs.Goodwin's appearance, she had dirty blonde hair that reached a little past her shoulders and her smile made her brown eyes pop. I smiles as she began to talk about expectations and what we would being doing/learning this year in her

The final portion of the model requires two years at a four-year university. At this stage, it is imperative to see what factors may be helping or hindering students’ advancement towards a baccalaureate, since some ECHS students tend to deviate from the six-year model at the undergraduate level. These students may choose a different pathway due to various reasons: i.e. changing major, taking a semester off, and not graduating with an associate’s degree as a junior in high school (requiring more time to complete a baccalaureate degree). The research done in this paper will begin to focus on the dependent variable of college graduation, with the goal of identifying the variables that may hinder or increase the odds of obtaining a baccalaureate

Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.

Stepping upon a simple stage was the best thing I could have ever done. Overseeing the multitude that was there to witness my every word, every tremble, every emotion, and every heart beat, was then that I realized that the sentiment was real. It was essentially the end of time and I could not bear to hold back what I no intentions of doing. Cry. Tears of joy darted down my face as I walked across the stage and received my ultimate gift. With fancy inscription, my gift was entitled “Class of 2009”. I had just graduated.

Meanwhile I dragged my feet out of the wretched classroom, look straight down at the floor with my head hanging. Ugh can it get any worse than this.. Right after the last students come out of Mrs. Morgan 's classroom I see Lia, her shoulders slumped, frowning, I couldn take the stress and neither could she. As soon as Lia saw me, her face got even more darker like she was mad at me. Why was she mad! What did I do wrong, this whole incident is Lia’ś fault and she shouldn 't get mad at me for it. I was just trying to be a good friend and make conversation. If Lia wanted to be friends with me she couldn 't give me all this stress. I was done with her, done with all
