My High School Career

After high school I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for a career. After years of wandering I decided to join the military. I completed basic training and technical school in Texas. I was miles away from the comfort of family and friend back home in Maryland. This was the first time that I was truly on my own. After training was complete I was moved to Spokane, Washington. where I completed my term in Spokane and it was time to reenlist or get out the military. I was ready to have my life back so I decided against enlisting for another term. When it was time for me to discharge the first question everyone asked me was “where I going?”. In my mind I had two choices. I was either going stay in tiny Spokane or go back home to Maryland. I spent a few weeks thinking about my options and at that time I was certain home was the best choice. Moving back home made sense for several reasons:

During my high school career, I have been involved in numerous activities. One of my favorite and most impactful activity was FFA. I have participated in many career development events and have competed successfully on the state level. I have been a team member of the state winning Ag Issues and Parliamentary Procedure team. Also, I have won the state Prepared Public Speaking contest as well as earning a national semi-finalist title. In addition, I have achieved leadership positions. I have served as my chapter’s Reporter and a mentored Agriculture 1 students. Another pivotal activity that I have participated in is 4-H. During 10 years of membership, I have served as my club’s Reporter, Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice President. Six of my static

Every high school student becomes anxious when waiting for that day to graduate but as graduation gets closer we become more worried on what we will do next and how we will pursue our career out there in the real world. Senior year is about applying to any colleges or universities that will judge you based on how you did throughout your high school years. In addition, the career i'm going to pursue when I graduate and leave high school is in the criminology and criminal justice studies. With a bachelor in criminology and criminal justice I have a variety of jobs I can pick out of. My first choice is to become a customs and border protection officer because I want to protect what enters the U.S. and to keep terrorist from entering. My second

As soon as students begin their high school careers, colleges are looking for who will meet the requirements set to be accepted into college. Tulsa Community College specifically requires current high school students to make a certain score on each section of the ACT so they may take college courses while still in high school. For that reason, I took the ACT for the first time just after my sophomore year, hoping to score high enough for concurrent enrollment. Being a concurrent student allows me to receive college credit so that I may have more time for sports or extracurricular activities when I am an actual college student. My main goal is to major in music then have a career in the music industry. The music industry is a difficult career

A decision that will last a lifetime my parents had to make was a name between Alexis and Malori. I was four days away from being Alexis. I am Malori Kristine VonTobel and active within the school. I participate in Sunshine Society, Student Council, Pep Club, Knitting Club, Drama Club, volleyball, cheerleading, and swimming. Being this active and still having time to complete my senior project shows how determined I am with anything I do.

Throughout the journey of my highschool career I developed a passion for both sports of soccer, and track and I overall developed who I am as a person and what job characteristics would interest me for my pursuing future. I realized that I want my job to consist of helping others, and being active within the community which led me to the topic of criminal justice. After observing the University of North Carolina Wilmington's web page I reflected on why it would be such a good school for me to pursue. Im very interested in attending UNC Wilmington because it provides the courses i'm very interested in studying which are psychology and sociology and criminology. Another contributing factor that leads my interests into UNC Wilmington are the athletics

Broken ankle, separated shoulder, concussions, herniated disc and stress fracture in my back are all injuries I have endured throughout my high school athletics career. It is true to say that athletes can be some of the toughest people on the planet. But, one thing that can knock anyone to their knees, is the dreaded six-letter word, CANCER.

Glancing back at my high school years I would say it was difficult. I was not the individual I am today, I was indiscreet and dull. I wasn't worried about my principles. The beginning of high school is the most basic year that will set your GPA for what's to come. Raising your GPA won't be a simple thing to do. Concerning me I had begun with a moderate GPA, however, all through the rest of my high school years I needed to work hard to bring it up.

As one approaches the middle of his high school career, it is good to acknowledge the progress he has made and the goals he should accomplish. Jesuit has established a description containing five points in which a graduate should have improved during his high school career. This description contains great goals to strive for during school and in the future. During my first three years at Jesuit, I have improved in two ways: becoming more open to growth and more committed to doing justice.

Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.

This was a very interesting article to read, and I found myself agreeing with just about every point. I definitely know that I have never really been an amazing writer so when some unfamiliar genre comes up I just default to what I know. The point about most students only really writing the same 5 paragraph essay throughout their K-12 school careers is very true. The only time where it was not that style that I can remember is the last couple years of high school. In my 12th grade English course it was almost all rhetorical writing even though the teacher never really framed it as something different. There was also different forms in the science classes that I took where one year I even had to write a scientific report and journal. While

I have messed up numerous times throughout the course of my high school career. I had situations in which I was really lackluster of myself. Freshman year, I received a C in Biology because of a group a mishap, and I really took a plunge for it. The second semester of my sophomore year was perhaps the start of a trend that I had, in which I was not performing the best I should have been. Rather, I was intimidated by the courses, when I should have been much more prepared for them. Could I have done something about it? Of course I would, but, I did not, and since that moment, I really felt so lackluster. I really tried to overcome, but the results were not much better, and my grade and GPA suffered greatly for it.

During my school career, I have excelled in science, math, and music. I enjoy these areas of study, and I like the challenge each disciple requires. I feel my background in these areas has prepared me to begin work on an engineering degree. During high school, I took AP math and science classes and did well on the AP exams. In addition, I took a robotics class for three years, and competed in the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) state robotics competition, two of the three years. In addition to academic classes, I was in the marching band and advanced concert band playing the most difficult part each season. I participated in the UIL state solo and ensemble contest and state marching contest multiple times. Once at Texas A&M, I joined

As my academic career as an undergrad comes close to an end, I sought out to explore the different opportunities that await me following graduation. As a requirement for this course, I met and interviewed with two women, Ana Reyes and Emily Angus, both of which are enrolled in the Counseling PhD program here at the University of North Texas (UNT) and serve as Licensed Professional Counselor Interns (LPCI). I chose these two women specifically because the courses of work they did following their bachelor’s degrees are similar to what I intend on doing following mine. As a Criminal Justice major with a focus in juvenile justice and minor in Counseling, I found it essential to conduct the interviews with individuals who could give me some insight on exactly what it is like to work with children children who are either delinquents or fall into the category of troubled children. In this paper, I will speak specifically about each of these two women and explore what led them to their current positions and profession in general, get into specific details about both past and present job positions, and discuss exactly what it mean to be an LPCI.

Senior year is a big year, the year where you have a lot of last firsts, having to apply for colleges and having to decide what you want to do with your life after high school. It's the year to surely remember and is very important. I have a lot of goals this year that I hope to achieve, but there are also things that I am worried about.
