Essay On High School

The process of being chosen for Future Leaders of Jones County included writing an essay and then being interviewed by a panel that oversees the Future Leaders of Jones County. In the organization, we were broken off into small groups and mixed with students from different schools around the county. I played a large role in my group— the fundraising leader. Our goal was to meet the needs of our local Battered Women’s Shelter, which were providing bedding, laundry, and a new playground for the women and their children that were also being homed. This project was very close to all of us in my group because there are so many battered and abused women in our community. In order to achieve the shelter’s wishes, we had to raise at least $1,000, so I had to go out and raise the money. With the help of many in our community, I was able to help my group reach our $1,000 goal, and we were able to go above and beyond accomplishing our project of service. After buying the necessities (pillows, sheets, blankets, detergent) for the shelter, we were able to purchase and put together a completely new play area for the children. The whole project was a success and getting to help better our community by enabling these women to stand up and get out of the situation of being abused so that they can start a new life. Seeing women like this made me realize how important it was

Middle school was a lot of fun for me, I met a lot of new people and lots of new girls. It was also kinda tough in the beginning with switching classes and things and having so many different teachers and lots of homework from different classes and having to remember the room numbers of each class but eventually I got used to everything.

Student Council and the National Honor Society both share a common purpose: helping others. I have been a representative for my grade in Student Council for three of my high school years and a National Honor Society member for two. In the National Honor Society, I have served as president throughout my senior year. Coincidentally, one of the four pillars of the National Honor Society is service, a component in a good citizen. As a National Honor Society president, I have helped coordinate a blood drive and assisted in others, provided support to the students who struggle socially or academically, and coordinated award presentations to a majority of the student body. The other side, Student Council, has also provided for me a way to help others and be a good citizen. Through Student Council, I have displayed citizenship through boosting school morale, volunteering for various school events and creating and approving new, innovative plans to make school life better. As an active, volunteering student, I hope that I made a positive impact, big or small, both inside and outside of the

I thought long and hard about the Boy Scout slogan: Do a Good Turn Daily. For years those words echoed at our weekly meetings, but I always wondered, how? How can I do a good turn every day? Surely there is room for flexibility in scouting’s ambitious challenge. I already belonged to a community service organization and was involved with community outreach at my church, but the daily basis challenge seemed daunting. As I continued to think about this, I became inspired to pursue public service as a career. I have learned that when we make profound decisions, opportunity knocks. In my senior year I initiated a capstone project that involved working on a political campaign, and began an internship for Ted Kennedy Jr. Additionally, I joined an unofficial mock congress, where we regularly seek bipartisan compromise on issues such as tax code and foreign policy

I never understood when people told me that time flies until I looked back on my life. Being a senior in high school, I have been to college and high school graduations of my siblings, but I never imagined that this time would come for me. I always wished for this year to come, but now I am regretful that I wished these precious moments away. The cliché phrase of high school being the best time of your lives keeps ringing through my head. I have changed since freshman year, which I am so thankful because I believe that time is a blessing. It allows me to grow into the person I want to become. When I had not made the Varsity soccer team Freshman or Sophomore year, I wanted to quit. Against all desires, I turned my sadness into determination

An anonymous author once said, "What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now." Over the course of my school years, it has been an exciting and shocking experience. These experiences have been an enjoyable journey from my elementary to middle school years. However, after several years the end of my middle school adventure is coming to a close. Soon my new journey will start as a freshman. Eight grade will surely be one of my most memorable years. It has been an absolute wonderful one hundred eighty days, and I will miss some of the aspects of eight grade—but certainly not

High school fucking sucks. While this was a given, all of your school and high school experiences were terrible. Your parents were hunters since their teen years and when you were born, your parents were ecstatic to have a child they could teach everything to. By the time you were ten, you could shoot a pistol and killed your first werewolf. While this life was a little fun, you had to move schools at least once a month. It was harder when you were younger because all of your friends played with dolls and played dress up. You practiced shooting and helped your parents dress as the fake FBI. Eventually, this didn't bother you. It took you until you were 15 to learn that it was best not to make friends or have any relationships with other students. It worked out really well until you were 17. There was this boy that you went to school with that peaked your interest. He was the bad-boy type; he was tall and handsome and had a new girl on his arm every day. He wore old jeans and a flannel every time you saw him, which was most days. His name was Dean Winchester. Now you weren't the type to get into trouble so you a Dean never really talked until it was your last day in town. The vampire your parents had been hunting suddenly died and they assumed that it was another hunter. You were given the day to say your goodbyes but there was no

Students spend four years of their lives attending high school. Going through high school is mandatory as it prepares them for college and strength to face “the real world.” Having part-time jobs has become the phenomenon among high school students and many students follow this trend as well. Moreover, there are some pros and cons attached with it. Though it may seem like working throughout high school is a bad idea, it could better prepare students for “the real world.” Although some people believe that the primary duty of a student is studying, I am of the opposite position. I strongly support the idea that high school students should work throughout high school. This is because they can earn money, become responsible and get

As I made the walk into my first hour, geometry, my first day of high school; I thought to myself I would never pass this class, I am a freshman in a sophomore class and I have not been taught any of this before. Nervous and scared about the rest of the day and how hard my classes would be, I looked forward to a year of low grades and failed assignments. However, this was not the case, high school classes were much different then what I had thought. Many teachers were easy on students, gave less homework than I had expected and were lenient on the homework assignments. Much different than what I had expected, I have flown through high school with ease and superior grades. On the other hand, as I begin to take college courses, I have learned that those grades in High School were much easier to obtain and were of less value. High Schools have made it easier to get higher grades, and that in turn, will affect my grades in college.

I can’t remember when I first heard about the University of Pittsburgh; I’ve lived in Pennsylvania my entire life so Pitt was always in the discussion when in came to colleges. I do, however, remember when I started seriously consider Pitt as somewhere I’d like to attend. In the Summer before my senior year of highschool I was working a pizza place and one of my coworkers was attending Pitt in Fall. Whenever we had shifts together all she would ever talk about was how excited she was for school to start. Being that I was still in highschool and hadn’t done any of my Summer work I didn’t share her sentiment While I was initially a bit annoyed by her enthusiasm eventually through osmosis I started to absorb some of the information and it all sounded pretty good. As the school year began and I started to get into the thick of college visits I added Pitt to the list of schools.

Children go to school to learn basic skills in reading and writing. It is also a place where children learn how to be independent from their parents and how to interact with other people. Parents have a hard decision deciding where to send their children, and picking between private and public schools seems to be the hardest choice out of it all. Both private and public schools appear very different in their own ways and need to be taken into deep consideration when choosing the right school to send their child. Private schools would prepare a student better for college, but public schools would better prepare a student for the real world after high school because private school teachers have greater discipline towards the children and

Thank you for subbing for me today! Please leave me a note with how my class was acting today.

This year, I was able to be both my dorm’s Senator and Spirituality and Fellowship Commissioner. These roles have allowed me to have a greater influence on the entire student body through Student Government and get a better idea of the issues that an organization can face and how it deals with them. One of the most rewarding experiences I had as Spirituality and Fellowship Commissioner was planning my hall’s retreat in the Fall of 2015. Both of the retreats in the past two years had been cancelled due to lack of attendance, so my fellow commissioner and I made it our goal to not have the same thing happen a third year in a row. We implemented new marketing strategies, designed an entire retreat from scratch, and successfully held our dorm’s first retreat in two years with twenty girls in attendance. That endeavor alone was one of my greatest Notre Dame accomplishments because I was able to strengthen my own role in the Notre Dame community as well as make a difference in the experiences of others in this

31st Dec 2013 08:30PM It was 08:30pm and I was sitting in my office, enjoying the last day of this year. I was happy, my friends,my colleagues, my seniors everyone was happy because we were about to leave for the biggest party of the year. Every year our company organizes this biggest party and in this party they announces the best employee of the year. I was also in the list of nominees of the best employee and some of my seniors told me that in this year I will get this award. I was very very excited.

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.
