Importance Of Unique Characterities In High School

With every new school year, teachers look out across their classroom and see there are more and more culturally and racially diverse students; young people, with no clue, to who they are, who they will be or what their future holds. Student identification and educational success falls on the shoulders of the teacher and it starts with the pronunciation of the students’ name. A white teacher who has no experience outside of his or her culture will have a difficult time with a students’ name especially those of African-Americans; consequently, some names sound unfamiliar. Comedians Key & Peele who are of color make fun of name mispronunciation in a skit on YouTube only the roles have been reversed, “While taking attendance, inner-city substitute teacher Mr. Garvey has trouble adjusting to a classroom full of middle-class white students.” For some students, especially older students, their name is what identifies them; it’s their link to their culture. The need to feel or be accepted or tolerated can come at a price, the cost of abandoning their cultural identity. Student identity is a major building block for a positive educational environment and inclusive school experience. In other words a teacher has the power to make or break a student and with such influence there is the accountability of elevating or discouraging a students’ potential. With the majority of educators still compellingly white, and classrooms becoming more and more diverse, educators have the obligation to know the students (i.e. race, culture, and economics) in order to provide a quality education and that includes the correct pronunciation of their name.

In this essay I will argue that high school I will argue that high school students not let people around them influence them to enroll into college right after their high school career because it often leads to wasted money, long term financial issues, including stress and many other factors that come with long term effects.

My exposure in the field of engineering can be traced back to my high school days. Not only did I take science classes such as physics, but I was also a member of two engineering clubs which taught numerous material outside the school’s curriculum. With that

Most students want to try to fit into a certain group and try to act just like them even though they may acting in an awful way. Instead of trying to impress people and act like them students should just be oneself and not like anyone else. One of the hardest parts of high school is trying to find the right group to sit with at the lunch table. The first day of high school every student needs to be confident in themselves and not worry about what other students think about them. Colleges look at all of the other activities that students participate in high school and not just grades so students should participate in as many school activities they can. If students become more active in other activities then they will be able to be themselves and meet many new people. If students want to fit in and be themselves, they should follow these

As a member of several clubs and organizations, I have always valued the wide range of people you can find within the walls of my high school. If you walk into my Physics lab, you will find me collaborating with a dancer strongly involved in his cultural heritage and a volleyball player in the engineering academy. If you come to my Calculus class, you will see me calculating derivatives with a football player, a snowboarder, a National Honor Society officer, and a painter. The word “diversity” is often used to describe a cross-cultural population, but it is so much more than that. At Bartlett High School, students originate from hundreds of different cultures, with an abundance interests, and participate together in an assortment of activities.

Throughout high school, I challenged myself by taking Advanced Placement math and science courses, such as chemistry, physics, and calculus. These classes jump started my interest in pursuing a STEM related career. I also had the opportunity to take an Introduction into Engineering and an Engineering

Every year, hundreds of thousand of high school students go to a place of higher learning, be it a community college or a high standing world-renowned University. To get accepted to these places of higher learning, students must write essays about topics, have high grades in high school, have participated in extra curricular activities at school and other things as well. These students expect to get something from these great institutions, and that is why they try so hard to get into the very best universities.

However, it was glaringly obvious that in a school of 3200 people, I was one of the only females in my STEM classes and interested in becoming an engineer. Los Osos High School had zero clubs for olympiads or engineering, so I started the first Engineering Club and High SChool.

My first idea is that you can choose where you want to go to college. That is very important, if you want to be a certain type of engineer, there are better universities that have stronger engineering programs than others. Which of course, high school is a big factor on that, because they aren't going to accept you if

Big hallways, lots of people, and knowing where all the classes are. “I didn't know high school was going to be this tough and frightening”. If I were to give advice to upcoming eighth graders, I would tell them behavior requirements are a priority, along with academic, and attendance requirements.

Three characteristics separate me from average High School students. First of all, I have an exceedingly high work ethic. Whether it is a cross country workout, a study session for a test, or a concert band practice, I will never be outworked. In addition, I genuinely care about others. The community service I am a part of is not merely for an application, but rather for helping others and improving today’s society. Lastly, I possess the ability to deal with adversity. Even after I became sick with E-Coli for two weeks, I maintained my 4.0 GPA and worked my way back to good physical

While attending middle school, I applied for the Engineering Magnet Program at Cedar Creek High School, and was accepted. I live in Galloway Township, so I would be attending Absegami High School if I was not accepted into this program. I am enrolled in Honors and Advanced Placement courses. I really enjoy learning and putting forth my best effort in my work. In the years to come, I plan on continuing my education in college in preparation for my career.

Entering high school is the beginning of a whole new learning experience. Transitioning from middle school, high school presents more classes, students, and a bigger campus. It brings new expectations and responsibilities to each of us. High school also offers fresh chances to make new friends, try new sports and activities, and really explore who we are as individuals. The goal is to maintain good grades, score high on the SAT test, and keep a positive attitude so colleges and universities will accept you. Of course it's not as easy at sounds, but it's achievable. It requires a lot of work and dedication to every subject. Some students breeze their way through while others live in misery trying to pass their

While this trait may be overlooked by grades or class rank, I still want colleges to know I have worked hard for the grades I have achieved. I always strive for the best in everything I do, no matter the task. I do this by keeping myself prepared, knowledgeable, and that I am ready for the next assignment presented to me. This trait is very important to me as I know throughout my life that I have achieved everything with my maximum potential as a person. While grades and class rank are and should be an important factor, I believe that hard work should also have some weight while deciding admissions.

There are some subjects to study in high school for engineers like: physics, chemistry, computer science, geometry, algebra II, calculus, English; if available, electronics (Science Buddies). I have already completed or am taking most of these subjects already. I just need to take physics and calculus soon.
