I Am A Junior At Ballard High School

There is a misconception about the professors (sometimes called instructors). Questions arise such as; will they make time for me when I need the extra help? How large will the class be? Will they understand that this may not be as easy for me as it is for others? These questions enter our minds and may seem discouraging at times. Through my personal experiences I have found that classroom atmospheres may not always be for everyone. However, that does not mean college life is not for everyone. You can take many alternative routes. You can take advantage of telecourses, online courses, accelerated courses and many other options that may be more suitable. My professors have been great. They come in earlier to help and return e-mails and/or phone calls promptly.

My transition to Isothermal Community College has been really good; Although I am still a high school student and have not had to go on campus, I still have been able to be apart of a college community. It has allowed me to better prepare myself, for when I actually sit in a college environment through time management skills with class work as well as homework and how strict the professors are. I’ve had to use time management to be able to manage all my classes work, so I could turn in my homework on time. The online class has also prepared me for how the rules are in college: No late work, and no exceptions. While in high school sometimes teachers let you slide on missed work and some allow students to make excuse after excuse my transition to Isothermal Community College has shown me that college professors will no put up with it. I think its great that professors set dates and don’t let people ‘excuse’ there way out of things. It helps prepare student for the real world and when they get a job they are not going to be able

Adding just an extra ten minutes to each class, the new schedule would create the potential for students to have more homework time, lab time, learning time, and/or valuable free time to read for pleasure, relax with music, draw, etc. (Hadfield). Especially as students get older and more involved in extracurriculars and rigorous academic courses, the need for any spare moment to get assignments done, study, or even sleep increases. When this time is unavailable or extremely hard to get, students are more likely to fall asleep in class, miss school due to illness, misbehave, cheat, hand in incomplete assignments, or drop out altogether. The same is largely true for teachers. The more homework turned in by students, the more grading has to be done by teachers who are already exhausted from a long, often repetitive day of work. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the fact that this extra time should not be used to cram in larger quantities of learning standards or homework problems, but rather to enhance the quality of the already demanding school regulations that are in schools

Being a Bunker Hill Community College student is not that easy unless you are associated with all the useful and valuable sources provided all over the school. As I seamlessly move from my high school experiences into a two-year college at Bunker Hill, I was so anxious to explore new things in the new college world. After I come to this college, I found that this college has many friendly and helpful resources that help me engaging myself in the new world. For example, I found that the admissions office staff members are very helpful in providing student information. Besides that, the school mentors are also helpful for bringing new students on a tour around Bunker Hill Community College. Furthermore, Life map Centre staff members are also very friendly in helping students organize their study plan and to register for class. The most interesting part is I found a reliable resource called A.C.E Mentor that tremendously could help the students to succeed in their classes.

most student athletes get drafted after their first two years playing sports this will allow the athlete time to focus only on his sport to come to realization on if he can go to the pros or not. Starting classes your Jr year is a nice way to start to transition the student athlete mind to start thinking about life after sports, helping them realize that they might want to start focusing on life after sports. if students play the first two years without classes it will give them a chance to focuses all their energy on sports and health, and when they start to take classes by jr year it will act as a warning track for most athletes that wont make it to the pros giving them two free year of schooling after

But Kuhfeld knows the pros and cons of late-start high schools. She attended one in North Carolina. "I enjoyed waking up later than everyone in [other schools]," she said. But as a member of the tennis team, she had to miss sixth and seventh period classes to compete at other schools. In junior and senior year, that meant AP classes had to be made up. "It was hard to balance everything," she said. "I'd get home at 8 p.m. and hadn't had dinner yet."

To begin, starting school later can improve students’ health and safety. The CDC urges people to schools to start later, and they have solid reasons for it. Researchers from Minnesota University analyzed over 9000 high school students and discovered that altering the original start time to a later one improved attendance, test scores, grades in math, social studies, and English, and decreased tardiness, drug abuse, and depression. Sadly, over 75% of schools in over 40 states start before 8:30. Without a doubt, later start times have obvious benefits

I have attached a copy of my high school transcript with the courses and grades I have received throughout my last two years at Anacortes High School. This semester, I am taking ASB Leadership, Strength and Conditioning, Drama 3, Pre-Calc, AP Environmental Science, AP Literature and Composition, and Teacher's Aide for Mr. Thompson. My favorite classes I have taken at AHS are Honors World Religions and ASB Leadership. Honors World Religions is one of my favorite classes because it challenges you to think differently than any other class does. It not only talks about religious history, but also current world issues that involve religion. This class is said to be one of the hardest classes at AHS, but it is also the most interesting class I have

There are various schools within just the Ohio area that can provide AP course classes. Most schools provide more than others. Benefits to taking AP courses as early as starting your freshman year is, getting the rigorous coursework and challenge in the class. Most students prefer that, plus you still get credit for the class if you pass the final exam. On another note, taking AP classes can boost up your GPA, meaning the classes are more heavily weighted. Another benefit to taking them is if you have a certain grade it automatically bumps up to the next higher grade.

Last year I took a few classes at Columbus State Community College. There were definitely some changes that I had to make so my life could still run smoothly. Some of the things that changed were my extracurricular activities. I had to swim less often than before because I had classes or homework that I needed to do. My study habits didn’t change very much, surprisingly. I still did my work sooner instead of later. I won’t say I always did it as soon as I could because while that would have been optimal it didn’t always work out. And I made sure I always got the work that was due first, done first. Also during the school year my classes at Columbus State were on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. In addition to those I still had all

When i was in eighth grade,teachers and students from my current high school came to visit my middle school to talk to me about the Anteater Academy. What this academy does is,it helps students prepare themselves to go to a four year university. They do this by having students challenge themselves by taking difficult honor and AP courses starting freshman year. I guess you can say that ever since i was in middle school i knew i wanted to go to college. Being in the academy for about 4 years now has been a challenging journey but, has made my pathway to college easier. This academy taught me how to be responsible,dedicated and confident. There was times where i felt the pressure of having so many AP classes in my schedule but i was surrounded

The first reason why you should not start something at the last minute is because, it will allow you to ask questions. For example, if you wait until the day before it is due to start your project and you have a question, then, you won’t be in a good situation. You might do the whole project wrong or forget to put something on it. Emailing your teacher might seem like the best option but they may, or may not, be awake, or they might not answer your questions fully. It is easier to ask your teacher questions in person so they can elaborate more. Therefore, you can get a better grade if you meet all the requirements. Your teachers are there to help you, and that is why starting something early allows you

One reason a late start would benefit students is that very few teenagers actually have time to sit down and eat a nice healthy breakfast in the morning. For example, some mornings I either eat a tiny granola bar, or I skip breakfast completely. Skipping breakfast actually makes people more likely to snack throughout the day and eat larger meals at Lunch and Dinner. In fact, studies have

When it was time to pick what High school I'm going me and my mom got in argument. I want to go to Hayward high and she wants me to go to Mt.eden. Well the problem here is that Hayward high is far and Mt.eden is closer to my house. But my mom doesn't realize that Hayward high is a better High school. Is better at teaching and learning as a student. Mt.eden can be closer but later on it's not going to care if it was close or far. Is going to care what I learn and how was I teach. That what my mom really doesn't get. She told me “ no matter what school you go if you want to learn you learn” She said in a mad and happy voice. But what my mom told me that really didn't convince me of changing my mind to go to Mt.eden.

I am very fortunate to receive the endless support from the Uplift Education College Prep program. I would have never thought about preparing for college as early if it was not for the teachers and counselors’ guidances. They helped me working through the college tests but also hosting writing classes to prepare us with the most outstanding college application. Academically, I have had the most passionate teachers who willing to go beyond the lesson and infuse us with wisdom and encouragements. I feel challenged through my classes, similar to a college level course I have experienced during my visit. In class When working in robotics, my coach always pushes me to think of the ending game when working on projects. With these beneficial life
