Husky Seniors Case Study

At the beginning of this school year, the Husky students were introduced to the new idea of "Husky PRIDE" where every student should be proud to be a Husky. This idea was introduced as a way to keep students motivated and really show them what we should demonstrate here on the Chino Hills High School campus.

Seniors have a tendency of taking their last year of high school for granted. They do not realize that the relaxed classes and fun filled weekends with their best friends will all soon come to a devastating end. They have applied for college, bought miniature refrigerators, and sent in their housing applications, but none of them have really thought about college in the way that they should. When asked about college most high school seniors image the huge parties, attractive people, and freedom; however, college is much more than that and, in a way, much less. College and high school are completely different when it comes to a student’s actual lifestyle, but they have many of the same traits that most high school seniors do not see coming.

Victoria Angulo has been a Husky at Chino Hills High School for the past 4 years. She was involved in Softball as an underclassman and continued her passion outside of school as an upperclassman. Her love for softball and drive to work hard paid off when she committed to Blue Mountain College in Mississippi. She is continuing her education at this school with a scholarship and will be able to play the sport she loves. Victoria is also a member of the Yearbook Staff at CHHS. She finds time to go to school events and capture memories to put in the Husky Yearbook. Victoria expressed in an interview how truly blessed she is to have had her best friend Renee Chang, also a Husky at CHHS, by her side these past four years. We are truly lucky to have

In today’s extremely competitive, job-scarce economy, having a college degree is now a steadfast requirement when applying to even entry-level professional jobs. Choosing a college has always been a challenging task for high school seniors, but it is now fraught with stress and anxiety for nearly every adult who seeks to further their education. Questions abound: what school offers the exact program I desire? What school is in the best location, or has the best campus? What school feels ‘right’?

As seniors in high school, our minds are all about graduation and what the next step in our lives are going to be. Many students plan on going to college after they graduate; however, deciding what college to go to is one of the hardest decisions most seniors have to make. I have narrowed it down to two colleges, The University of Illinois and Southern Illinois University. After close examination of the factors of the history of the school, admission, tuition, campus, and academics, I decided rather then going to The University of Illinois I should attend Southern Illinois University.

The years go by to fast so choosing the colleges or universities is very important in our juniors years and senior years. It's better to be ready for college and have your future set go. Katy Hopkins “there more than one college you can go to” which is very true. There are a lot waiting and you can go too. Setting the pros and cons are very important to set for college, Katy Hopkins says “rank your priorities”. The college can help you with loans, Katy Hopkins says to “compare financial aid pages” which is right to find out the better college to help. Staying close to the college is very smart to do, safe gas and money Katy Hopkins says “go back to school” which is saying to stay close to it as you can.

People have dreams and beliefs that they could make it big in life after of highschool. These high school students are transitioning into adulthood. They have passions and know what they want to become and do in the future. Mireya Mora is going to Chaffey College, and she is becoming a radiologist.

I am Brenda Gomez, a seventeen year old senior at Valley View High School. High school has contributed in my development as an individual. Throughout high school, I have been able to grow from many experiences, met many people and work towards on my goal to be the first high school graduate in my family. I started my first year at Valley View my senior year. The previous school I attended was Segerstrom High School, which is located in Santa Ana. It was an extremely difficult transition because I was raised there, but over time I adapted to the new environment. It will be a year since my move from Santa Ana to Moreno Valley in May. Next year, I plan to go to college. I decided to receive my general education at Moreno Valley College then, transfer

I am eager for what my future has in store for me. I am apprehensive about the obstacles i will have to overcome on my way to success. I have a great deal of support from my friends and family when it comes to what I am driven to do after graduating from Buckingham Charter Magnet High School. Throughout all the years of my school career, I have always been indecisive about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Buckingham Charter Magnet High School has helped me finally decide that I wanted to go to Solano Community College to attend their Cosmetology Program.

But by the end of my two years as a community college student, I had only dipped my toe into the vast pool of academic potential. Not only does the University of Washington offer infinite career and social opportunities, it provides a community of diverse student body and experienced professors all aiming toward the same goal of success. At the University of Washington I can continue my education and work toward a major that utilizes and builds upon my existing

Everyone looks forward to their senior year, whether it’s to rule the school, or just to simply graduate. There are many changes that go along with a final year in high school. At every family gathering one is asked those loaded questions about where they want to go to school or what they want to be in five or ten years. Those questions are what some students dread being asked, especially those who have absolutely no idea what their plan is. Today’s society has made it the social norm for young people to know what they want to do, and have made it difficult to go to college not having already declared a major on an application. Often this request is unrealistic. For some students, going to college is not what he or she wants to do. Students

In high school, I graduated with a 3.89 GPA, I was a member of the National Honors Society, I was president of my class, and I founded the drama club at my school. I was even a member of the choir for four years. I joined the sign language club, and I volunteered annually for the Walk for Hunger. I did everything I could that counselors suggested to end up in a great college. “Be well-rounded,” they advised. Nevertheless, I enjoyed keeping busy; I enjoyed the responsibility and strong relationships that came with it.

As a high school senior progresses towards their graduation day, making the the correct choice for their higher education institution is a very important decision that may affect them greatly in the long-run. Students are usually presented with the decision of attending either a two-year community college or a four-year university. Although, both higher education institutions are designed to teach and prepare individuals for their future career goals, some differences can be anticipated. As a result, attending a university and a community college may be compared to determine which institution is the most beneficial for a high school student in the areas of learning environment, cost of attendance, and student culture and campus life.

The other day I got to sit down with my cousin Ashley Cuccinello and interview her about her college experiences. She grew up in Cicero, Illinois and moved out here during her middle school years. She graduated from Troy Middle School and Joliet West High school. ‘Cicero wasn’t the safest place to grow up, but my family made the best of the situation and always kept me safe” Ashley says as she looks back on her childhood. She is currently 25 years old and attends College of Dupage. Throughout her high school years, she was highly involved in many sports and clubs. She also spent her four years exploring her career options. When she graduated from high school, she started her career at Joliet Junior College for two years and then graduated and

As a future social worker, I would like to implement program development to make life better for aging Americans. The On Lok group of non-profit organizations, founded by dentist Dr. William Gee and social worker Marie-Louise Ansak, demonstrates it is possible to support and provide affordable services to elderly. Some of the services provided by On Lok are as follows; a comprehensive health plan for long-term care, senior center, housing for seniors, and health care for at home seniors (On Lok, 2015). On Lok receives funding and support from Medicaid and Medicare for these senior services.
