Fitting in is unnecessary. Embrace who you are. You will go through rough times in high school, but always stay strong, and never deny yourself said Neon Hitch. In ‘’Best in Class” by Margaret Talbot, relays a similar message that choosing only one valedictorian adds power to an already powerful social hierarchy high schools already create. Talbot releases this message to open the eyes of schools who decide to only pick one valedictorian and how people are taking school boards to court just to get the number one spot. She emphasizes her message by using informative diction and pathos from her interviews.

As a junior, it is important to be informed of where to find scholarships, and what to do with them since it is beneficial for the future. Personally, being informed of scholarships is beneficial to me because there are scholarships that juniors can apply for and it also allows me to know where to find them for my senior year. However, as advantageous as it may be to a junior such as myself, it is more beneficial to seniors. Scholarships are important to seniors, and having knowledge of how they can receive free money to pay for the tuition is important to most students since not everyone’s parents pay for their tuition. Along with scholarships, college visits benefit seniors and juniors by informing them of the specific programs those college offer, the type of school such as: a four year, a two year, technical or community college, and cost. College visits also inform students of scholarships and ways to make their schooling more cost effective and without homeroom, seniors or juniors would not know where to find this information with discussing it with someone in an authoritative position within the school such as the guidance counselor, principal, vice principal, or teachers and

If you do not set goals or achievements for yourself then, you will not be successful in life. One major goal that I set for myself is to be elected at the ROTC program at Colts Neck High School. Unfortunately, it will not be an easy goals to achieve. It is going to a long bumpy ride until I reach my destination. However, if I study hard, complete all of my school assignments, and get antoshining grades then, I can find a shortcut to make this ride shorter and maybe even smoother after all. Also, participation is one of the main keys to achieving this goal. I make sure that I participate in class and in after school activities such as track and field and basketball because then my teachers and my coach could recommend me. This single goal persily will overall make me smarter and a hardworking student by the end of the year.

The Office for Equity and Diversity (OED) is eager to launch our first-ever Student Emergency Fund. OED primarily serves minority, first generation, and low-income students. Some of these students face many obstacles while pursuing higher education. These obstacles include lack of resources, obligations to family, unstable living conditions, loss of scholarship, unaffordable tuition, etc. Facing these types of adversities leaves our students vulnerable to unexpected emergencies endangering their college career. This Student Emergency Fund serves to support our students in their time of need and allows them time to recover from their financial

In terms of goals it is very important to set short term and long term goals. I have set my short term goals as one class at a time, just get a great grade in this class whatever

With all of this school, there has to be money

There were many questions, but the most frequently asked was, ‘What is the money for’? We asked local National Honor Society leader Wade VanVark this question. In hopes that things would slowly become clearer as more explanations come.

Many college students face this same struggle of deciding the rest of their future right out of high school. Unfortunately, freshman college students are under educated about their finances and tend to over borrow when they come to college. Student loan debt is a major problem in America that could easily be fixed by educating students before they are allowed to borrow large sums of money.

One of the biggest challenges college students face today is debt associated by student loans. Nearly every college student will graduate with debt unless supported by academic or athletic scholarships, grants or financial aid. This issue can be addressed by encouraging students to pursue scholarships, and applying for financial aid. Though not all scholarships are capable of fully funding a student's tuition, most can help provide for fees, books, or housing. Many websites and counselors are open to providing scholarship opportunities to students who seek it. Applying for smaller scale scholarships often can result in a larger amount of money than at first anticipated. Applying for large scale scholarships are worth the time that is spent

however, are the non-popular students who are poor and trashy looking, known as “Loadies”. Each group

Since not enough money is being put aside for college, people will apply for a scholarship or a loan

“Student Council is in charge of a lot of different activities you see, for example the homecoming dance, the snowball dance, the blood drive, they organize, plan it, come up with a theme, and then decorate the events,” Rudebusch .Said

They’ll have enough money to pay for their books, utensils, notebooks, and meal plan. As a college student, it’s already hard enough to find a local since we spend so much time with homework and studying for exams. Those that are working are complaining because it’s almost like waste of time; most of them are saying that sometime they have to work at least 40 hours a week, while attending school, just to live in an apartment or dorm. Now, as a freshman in college I have witnessed and lived a life of a college student and it’s not what it seems like; before attending college I had a misconception about college lifestyle. I thought it’ll be a life of rollercoaster, where there new things to explore in every turn, but no that wasn’t the case, matter of fact, it was the totally opposite. As a freshmen I had to find a job and though I can save some money while attending school at the same time. The money I had before school I used that to purchase few books which total out to be $500-$700. At that point, I was disappointed because I knew I had to work more hours in order to balance myself. I started working 20 hours a week as a full time student; taking 12-13 credits. After a month of paying for books and school materials, I needed to find extra money for personal spending so I worked full time instead and school was kicking my ass, but I had no choice to work as hard as I could

“It gives us another chance to bring up our grades.” says freshman Kristina Marin adds.

While the Socs are in no way morally superior to the Greasers, they are given a higher opportunity to succeed solely based on their high-ranking social class.
