High School Research Paper

Life comes with swift transitions and I have come finally meet mines. The time has come to my 12th grade year and I have to leave my family alone and start planning for a bigger picture .I’m now excited to say that it's my time to start applying to some of the best colleges around the country.I’ve made great progress from my 9th grade year up to my 12th grade year. I started off making bad decisions now to being focused in all of my classes.I finally realized that I couldn’t get in college doing the the things I was doing ,so I made myself active with sports because that was a big drive to how I could do better.

I am a student who has a passion for helping others. I have been a part of a couple of clubs and organizations in and out of school which focus on helping out the community. There is one in which I have been involved in for four years. I started of as a club member and in the beginning of my third year I was chosen to be the president. Through this club I have had the opportunity to lead a group of students through a pathway of success. I have been able to encourage members to pursue a higher education, and help out their community. We have all been able to work together in several occasions. I have been able to get them to participate in soup kitchens, concession stands during football games, and helping out in the elderly home. Last year our club was able to collaborate with the autism club, and together we helped create a garden.

Being one of the 12 kids that are LDS in my over 3,000 student school has been an interesting aspect of my life. For the past four years, questions like “ Does your Dad have multiple wives?” or “ Woah, you aren’t a cult?” have been surprisingly pretty easy for me to explain and answer. The nervousness and feeling of being scared about what someone might say or think has never been a problem throughout my four years of high school. Although I am able to successfully talk about my religion, the struggle to do so was very evident during my middle school years.

Is it still cool to be in school? What if, I told you that we are going to figure out how to create a balance of working a job, maintaining an active social life with friends or family, and working towards a bachelor’s degree? To me, it sounds demanding and stressful. However, I believe there is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Finding the right structure is an important aspect of achieving your goals without causing unpredictable dilemmas. I’ve managed to work my way through the challenges that everyday life can create for you. I have found a sense of organization with getting school work accomplished successfully, and you will too. With three simple steps this guide will help you prioritize, set up goals for yourself, and maintain

The one minute I regret the most was the minute I decided that I would not return back to school. As my middle school years began, I entered in with the mindset that I would be on top of everything: My grades at the very highest, my GPA way above 2.0, homework assignments turned in on time. As that school year began to progress, that desire to remain on top of everything academically began to diminish over time. My grades, and GPA began to drop. As I was beginning to notice this all happening, I began to take action towards improving that mistake, just to later on go through the same motions. This problem showed up all three of my middle school years.

Do you understand the importance of acknowledging our children’s world they live in? Do you understand the importance of fighting this misinformation with education? It is our job to protect our children and help them grow and develop into capable citizens. Our highest hopes are that they grow up to be happy, healthy, and capable citizens. If we do not provide education about pornography, then our children are going to be in unhealthy relationships expecting unrealistic things about themselves and their partner (Weber et al., 2012). We all want our children to grow up and be happy. Limiting them of this education on pornography is hindering their future. It’s unacceptable to let anyone hinder our children’s bright future.

My parents have said to work hard and do my best in school. I never understood why until I got older. The reason they told me to do my best in school was because they wanted me to think about school and my future. Both of my parents didn't get the chance to go to college. They both came to the United States looking for what most people come to the United States for ‘The American Dream’. They wanted a place where they could raise their children and find a stable job. Well what they had planned didn't work out. They found physically demanding jobs with low wages. I watched as they came home tired and stressed. Even through all the hardships they still maintained a positive attitude. They have pushed me to get better grades and to succeed in school.

First of all, middle school students part-time job meeting and learning conflict, thus affecting learning. If we go to work after school and vacation, there will be no time to attend to study, so students will learn less time. Besides, middle school students are easily confused by the material society, which will lead to the wrong idea of making money in the first place, which will lead to academic neglect. This is for the middle school students, it is to pick up the sesame and lost the watermelon!

Right now… our school, is a prison. And you, the students, are the prisoners. I’m Prempreet Brar, leader of the Window of Light. Vote for me, and I’ll make sure that I open up your window of opportunity. We will focus on finding a solution for the four main issues that make up our party platform. To improve the safety of our school and community, we will install surveillance cameras to reduce crime and mischief. This investment will save us a lot of money in the long run, as it prevents students from making bad actions. We will encourage safe transportation of our students both to and from school. We will do this by increasing the amount of advertisements around the school that inform students to go to school with a trusted acquaintance.

Through the school years I have been to two schools. Some of my years were near-perfect but, others were a train wreck. I would have to say that my worst school year was sixth grade. Thinking back I have found many issues that lead me to think the year was a train wreck. First off, in the first semester I had an I.S.S. which stands for in school suspension. I regret doing what I did to earn that because it was as boring as a sack of wet sand. But as my wise 8th grade teacher Mrs.Moncada once said “You can make any choice you want. But, you are not free from the consequences that come with that choice.”

I was very involved at my high school, so I was constantly busy and rushing to the next activity.  I’m not sure how I did it, but I balanced the tennis team, volunteering at school and community events, attending meetings for various clubs, and my actual schoolwork. A lot of my time was also spent at my work: the Big Thrill Factory. The laser tag, bumper cars, and arcade games made it a fun job, if you could get past the loud music and screaming kids. My paycheck didn’t go much further than getting me gas, but I made tons of friends, and gained experience and communication skills from working the front desk. Whenever I had free time, I loved spending it with friends, going for walks, and enjoying the outdoors.

If I were able to tell a freshman beginning high school what to do in order to succeed, I would begin by explaining what is necessary for them to do. The day I began high school, I was unable to differentiate the things that should be taken seriously, versus what should not. Because I was unable to decide which subjects I should study in school, I ended up far behind in credits.

There are many programs that schools are trying to build to help students achieve more in life, specifically the Office of Metropolitan Impact at University of Michigan- Dearborn. The main goal of this program is to; increase motivation to go to college, post secondary and/or enter a selected career. Another goal is to, increase readiness in students who are about to enter college or a career. They also want to encourage their students to develop a long-term goal so they have something to work towards and accomplish.

Late into my seventh grade year of school my parents told me that they were going to give me a choice to either continue going to my local high school or go to a private, college preparatory high school in my area. Because I come from the St. Louis Missouri area there is a plethora of private schools to choose from, each with their own unique atmosphere and level of academic challenge. I knew that with a college prep high school I would presumably be getting a better education than what was offered in the public school, but I also knew that none of my friends from grade school would be going with me and I would be going into a completely new environment with no backup plans or friends to rely on. The hardest part for me was that I felt like

High school has been a very interesting experience for me I definitely had my highs and lows and as a freshman, I definitely didn't know how high school worked. In my freshman year of high school, I saw some familiar faces in high school. One of the toughest things was getting to know new people and honestly I stuck with only a couple people in my freshman year and their names were Rebecca and Ruby. Even when my classes got boring I still had someone to talk to. These two people I still talk to this day they never changed who they are. And in my sophomore year I took this class called general science when I walked into the class I saw so many familiar faces and I even saw Rebecca my friend from English. And in this class, we had so much drama and the reason why the class was so
