Education In High School

The beginning of my freshman year of high school I realized that unless I got a job right after I turned 16 I wouldn’t be able to pay for college so I needed to start making steps in the right direction now. I started working at McDonald’s my sophomore year of high school four months after I turned 16 and continued to work there until I graduated from Polk Collegiate High School. A friend told me about Polk Collegiate High School the beginning of my sophomore year and I knew that it would be the best financial choice that I could make at the moment. I spent the last two years of my

Now, I’ve never been a terribly awful student. I was the kid that made honor roll every term, passed my tests, and was very well liked by my teachers. My problem was rooted within my attendance. I tried numerous options that varied from being enrolled in online school that gave me the option to work at my own pace, to applying for a program called Job Corps, where I would live on campus and be on a boot camp like schedule. Nothing worked, school just wasn’t for me. When I turned 16, I made the decision to not only drop my online classes, but also made the decision to stop calling my counselor for Job Corps. I was never encouraged to return to school until I moved to Wisconsin a year and a half after being out of school. You don’t realize how important that year and a half is until you return to public school as a junior with three and a half credits. My attendance when I moved here was much better with the encouragement from Niki and Dave Pohnl. They gave me the motivation to actually want to finish my schooling and for that, I am eternally grateful. I attended Logan high school for the last half of my junior year where I finished with seven and a half credits. Obviously, still not even close to what you need to graduate. So, they gave me the option to come to Western Technical College to attend a program that would lead to me taking four separate

I attended Braden River High school until I heard about the opportunity to participate in the dual enrollment program at SCF. I have always been motivated in school, but was ready for a new challenge. I started at State College of Florida my senior year of high school as a dual enrollment student. During my first semester, I took thirteen credit hours and earned a 4.0. The second semester I increased to fourteen credits and again earned a 4.0. By May I had earned twenty six college credits and retained a 4.0 Grade point average. I have always had a passion for school, so there was no chance that I wanted to take a summer break. In May, I enrolled as a non-degree seeking student so that I could continue going to State College of Florida until I received my high school transcripts. This summer I have earned another fourteen college credits and so far have maintained my 4.0 grade point average. I plan to attend State College of Florida in the fall and spring to earn my AA degree and then transfer to either University of Florida or Florida Atlantic University. I want to study microbiology and cell

My high school experiences have become imprinted into my memory and parts of me. I changed entirely from the first day I walked in as a freshmen to the last day I walked across the stage with my diploma. Not only do I look different but I act, think, and understand differently. I realize now that an individual’s character is largely constructed by other people’s opinions, unwritten rules, and a subliminal hierarchy. The reality of high school makes it difficult to escape the ideal image of a perfect student, friend, respectful significant other, and model child. With all these different forces pulling students back and forth, the primary goal is to be accepted; despite how much change one must undergo. From my high school experiences I know how to deal with labelling, peer pressure, alienation, and cliques. Thus my former high school social lessons and knowledge allow me to reshape my perception, values, and self-image to this day.

A month into freshman year, I moved yet again, from Tennessee back to New York. I noted that the grade of a student at my new high school was based upon the amount of credits a student amassed, rather than their age. This caught my attention, as my dream of becoming a pediatrician required me to complete seven years of medical education following a baccalaureate degree. Graduating early would shorten my journey. With that in mind, I continued to do well in my classes. At the end of that year, I had enough credits to return a junior in the fall. I was confident, as I had done this once before. My parents approved of my decision and signed a form my guidance counselor had given me. Reflecting on my grade school years as a senior, I like the course of events; when I graduate, I will be sixteen. According to the laws of my current state of New York, I will not even have my learner's permit yet. But I look forward to the many years ahead in undergraduate and medical school. As Kevin Hart once said, the only time you should look back in life is to see how far you have come. College is the next stone I need to lift so I can move mountains tomorrow, and I hope to

High School is one of the most prominent time in one’s life. During this time, one is taught to be financially literate, how to use grammar and punctuations wisely, be mathematically inclined and aware of different sciences. Notice how I excluded history, but there is a reason for this. History is often manipulated and told by those who are comfortable telling fabricated stories made up by the white man. This causes for students, especially African Americans have a false interpretation of their history and come to college relatively unprepared. ADW and its concepts go into the root of history without giving out false conceptions, however, it is very unfortunate that it is not taught until one’s young adult years because that is when distorted information is already drilled into their brain. ADW concepts being taught in high school such as issues of identity; the intersection of race, gender, and social class; displacement, and conditions of servitude could only lead to the enrichment of the inquiring minds of this generation, allow them to see relatable circumstances, and help diminish their ignorance of African history.

When I first began attending Porterville community college my goal was to finish within 2 years and transfer to a CSU. But among the way i encountered some obstacles that unfortunately delayed my progress I had to retake three classes twice because of the grades i received in my first attempt i knew i was able to perform at a higher level than what I was doing so I took these classes again and I did much better then the first times along with my appeal I am including my unofficial transcript so that the grades I received in the first try can be compared to the second attempt and the grade differences are much higher than the first ones. I also encountered some personal issues along the way that did not permit me to continue and unfortunately i had to take two semesters off from school due to an illness of a family member so this also delayed my process a little more and it pushed me behind from my original goal.

Education has been a priority in my life since I realized that thing are not just given to people. Being the first to have the opportunity to attend college is a huge honor. It is a challenge to motivate yourself to love learning and understand the importance of hard work although, I appreciate my guardians for pushing me and dedicating ​themselves to my human capitol.

I am from a low-income family and from a community that has a low college participation rate. When I started high school my parents made me aware of what our financial situation was and I was frightened by the idea that I would not end up going to college because the money was not there. So I did some research on something that would help me succeed and help me get into college. I found out that I was able to take college classes at a nearby community college and they would be able to transfer to a UC and this gave me hope. As soon as I became more informed I started the enrolling process which was extensive because several school officials had to approve my attendance to the community college. As soon as I had the approval I started to enroll

The United States has the world 's most extensive higher education system, a compound set of institutions- including public and private community colleges, liberal arts colleges, comprehensive universities, and world-renowned research universities. Every year, college students throughout the nation fall victim to theft, stalking, all forms of sexual assault, homicide, and other crimes. The law enforcement, campus officials, and legal professionals charged with identifying and dealing with violence risk at colleges and universities throughout the United States provide an important service under unique and (more often than not) challenging circumstances.

After I graduated high school in 2009, I went to the University of Idaho for one semester. I was really excited to go to a school with Greek life, and I was able to get a great college experience. However, I realized I wasn’t focused on school like I should’ve been and I decided to move back to Boise. When I moved back to Boise, I decided to go to BSU after a year of being back. When I started at BSU in 2011, I was going to school full time and working full time at Sonic. I ended up not doing so well my first semester at BSU, because I felt that I wasn’t prepared for the material, and I was more focused on making money to be able to afford rent, food, etc. My second semester at BSU, I was a couple months into the semester and I ended up breaking

Do you know what we are learn in high school? I do, because I have experience first-hand. We spend 4 years in high school learning information that can be beneficial in our everyday lives, while some things in anyway have feasible real-world applications. High school is mediocre because of the information we are learn, method we learn, and the information we retain.

Currently in the U.S education system, I can only think of one policy/practice/program that is similar to the Cardinal Principles outline. In many high schools around the country there are CTE courses and teachers that students can participate in. CTE (Career and Technical Education) are taught in many areas that are found in the professional world from business management to technology to arts to legal studies. To be a certified teacher in any of these areas, one has to have a degree/certain amount of credits in that CTE topic or a set amount of years of real world professional experience working in that field. CTE courses and curriculum is very aligned to what the Cardinal Principals authors had in mind with the structure of a comprehensive high school. This high school utopia that allows students to venture in to many different areas outside of the core subjects was what the Cardinal Principals authors seemed to believe was the answer to stronger educational outcomes and members of society.

A transcript can show where someone is headed in life. The high school education I have received so far has shaped me into the person I am and has steered me into the direction I want to go in. Every choice I have made, about my education, has been much considered and has made changes to the course I am following to better fit the future I am aiming for. Over time, much has changed in my life; my interest, point of views, and the way I approach situations. My transcript is a reflection of these changes. A lot can be told about my education and how it has affected me by looking at my transcript. The person I am that is reflected on my transcript has been decided by strengths and weaknesses of mine, impressions that have been left, and what I have chosen to participate in.
