High School Year Research Paper

In high school, I was very involved with the school’s musical theatre program. I loved to act and sing, and I was pretty good at both, but I never got a part better than being in the ensemble. This was because I was not part of the “privileged” group of students.

Everyone has goals and everyone has been alive at some point in their life, obviously. To me, living so far has been pretty easy. What I’m really worried about is the future. It seems like nowadays everyone has a clear idea of what they want to do with their life. I am really not sure. I have almost no idea what I want to do with my life. Maybe I will just join the circus, or maybe even become a penguin! Penguins are fun! Penguins don’t have to worry about taxes or paying for college. All they do is stand around eating fish and making weird noises! How come I can’t just be a penguin? Or maybe even an elephant... wait never mind, I need to get back on topic. As you can see the beginning of the paragraph has explained my personality pretty

When the end of summer approached, I believed I was prepared of what 7th grade was going to throw at me. I was wrong. I had tons of homework. School overall was stressful. The best way to solve this problem was to not procrastinate, it was my main goal this school year. Reducing the amount of time playing on electronics would not only make my school life less stressful, but making my parents happier about me not playing as much as I usually do.

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.

So it’s the start of senior year, and I got this assignment to write a High School Letter to myself. My first 3 years of high school were anything but “normal”. Still, the experience I’ve had and continue to have were very fun.

I was in a new realm of what I considered to be failure. My junior year was loaded with college classes. On top of that, I had three advanced placement courses. These included: AP Chemistry, AP Spanish Language and Culture, and AP American History. The end result of this terrifically horrible year was all two’s on my exams. The exams that I had worked towards for an entire year had ended in a missed goal and quite a bit of tears. The exams that I had put my family on hold for. The exams that had made me cry, laugh, and fear all year long. The anticipation for the exam results was excruciating.

In my honest opinion, the uttermost difficult part of being a teenager is planning ahead a successful life. High school years are one of the most prominent stages of your life. It determines whether or not you will proceed to college as well as what college you will attend. Getting into a superlative college, is another struggle countless high schoolers stress deeply about. Once you are accepted into the college you desire, another struggle you would be necessitated to do is find a well-paying job that would suffice your expenses. All of this constitute toward your high school years because if you do not achieve the required grades, you will not be able to enroll into a commendable college, which also means there is a high possibility that you

My faith had never waivered with God until the day I tore my ACL. I thought it all was going perfectly, my freshman year of high school. The most crucial year to set the social barrier, and the chance to establish a solidified reputation. My year was aligning so perfectly, you would almost think that destiny had mapped out my entire high school life. As a teenager, you never think of the bad things happening to you that you see on television. You never think of those what-ifs or aftermaths that could possibly occur, and change your life for the good or the worse. Though, that day, that day I tore my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), I did think the possibility of never playing basketball again.

I know high school has been a very interesting experience for you. You get a knot in your stomach. It’s difficult to describe a jumble of fear and sprinkles of nervousness with a side of excitement. There’s a lot of uncertainty and expectation in the air, and I suppose that’s what makes it so exciting, but equally as frightening. A fear develops because you’re afraid you might not find the answers to these questions, or when exactly will you find them and you may not like the answers at all. The only things you can control are our ability to work your hardest and do your best. High school has definitely had its highs and lows and many confusing experiences in between. High school has taught you many things, both academically and emotionally.

Junior year was the best school year so far for me. My junior year i accomplished many of my goals. I accomplished goals last year that i never thought i would achieve. One goal I set for myself my Junior year was to not get suspended and if i did no more than twice. Last year i was only suspended once and that was only for tardies. Another goal i had set was to not get anything lower than a C. In the first Quarter of my Junior year I made A’s and B’s and no C's.

Have you ever been to high school? Is high school scary or fun? Do you like high school or do you not like it? I have mixed feelings about going to high school. I think high school is going to be bigger than what I am use to in middle school.

Humans are constantly learning. Whether inside a physical school building or in the middle of a desert, a person can learn so much about the world around them, and it has always been that way. The idea of school has evolved from learning from experience to the system that currently exists. Although school has changed over time, it still supposedly exists for the same reason it always did: education, but its goals and methods have changed along with the system itself. People should consider reevaluating the school system in America and whether it still serves its purpose. Presently, school works, in the sense that ‘working’ means achieving the goals it was created to achieve, but those goals no longer benefit students in the way they should.

School is meant to be business environment and should be treated as such. We come to school every day to learn and to teach. I, along with many others, have been in this district for as many as 12 years. The teachers here have never failed to prepare the student body for our futures as best as they could.

It was a normal spring afternoon, the midday sun shone through wide windows, lighting up the otherwise dim living room. I had just returned home from school and I dropped my bag heavy with my algebra textbook to the floor with a loud thump. My mom stood in the kitchen, shuffling noiselessly through the mail. She presented me with a thick white envelope that had my name neatly and elegantly handwritten on the front. My curiosity was brimming and I quickly tore open the thin paper, revealing the contents within.

What I can do to ensure to keep myself a successful end of high school year is basically keep doing what I am doing . Stay on track do my work and just get marvelous grades .as well as applying myself more. Studying more and not doing my work so late . I don't feel as if I need to change anything so far . Mostly because I do my work and get things done no matter what the problem would be . Even if It's the day before I get it done, I'm a high achiever . I would say if I really, really had to change would be not waiting so long to get my work done . For me, I feel that's when I get my most tremendous work done .
