My High School Career

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

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

Throughout my whole high school career what has happened to me in my life has reflected on how I perform. The first two years of high school was smooth sailing for me. I had a little bump in the beginning of the semester. However, that was only for I was not use to the high school setting, so I was only trying to get comfortable with my teachers and their working style. I had the mindset at the time to only focus on school, for I did not have anything else to worry about. The classes I had were fairly simple to keep up with. I believe this was because I only had honors classes during this time, and only one AP class. The teachers I had did not have that many high expectations, as an AP teacher would.

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.

In junior high, I could not wait to grow up. I wanted to be older, be able to drive wherever and whenever I wanted, and hang out with all my friends all the time. Little did I know, that is not really how it works. In junior high, I had a variety of friends and we hung out as often as we could. I was with the same group of girls all the time, we would go to school together, play sports together in the evenings, and hangout together on the weekends. In high school friends change and I was told that it would happen, but we all thought that it would never happen. We, of course, were wrong. Most of my high school career had been taken up with playing sports. It started the summer before my freshman year, I would go from a softball game, to basketball

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.

I was a C average student in Jr. High. That's why I set a goal for myself the last day of my middle school career--”get straight A’s in high school”. At the time it seemed more like a “set your goals higher than you think you can accomplish” kind of task. It wasn't something that I truthfully felt I could obtain. Little did I know, I was greatly doubting my abilities as a student. Every hour of homework quickly paid off. When I received my first report card, my mother had the brightest look of pride in her smile. She was relieved that I was able to break the family habit of slacking off in high school. Many family members before me have succumbed to a life of just getting by. I chose to deviate from that philosophy, then, and now. They call

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 am very proud of myself and the grades I’ve accomplished to improve each year in my high school career. Freshmen year was a little difficult since I had trouble processing work, but sophomore year I improved a little more and reached my standards. I've always tried my best and worked really hard to get the grades I wanted and managed to get them up by junior and senior year. and I feel so proud because it was a goal of mine. I was always a kind and hardworking student and I never gave up. I always ask for help when I needed it and have a better understanding on what I’m doing after high school.

Throughout my high school career, I have been a very dedicated student. Much like the prestigious students I surround myself with, most of my nights are spent studying for exams, completing homework assignments, writing essays, and keeping on track for the long term goal of college. My academic record does show how I am as a student in limelight. Some years my grades fall due to personal indolence. Other years my grades would be in flying colors, it was dependent on what my motivation was. I found that motivation around junior year and ended that year with a 3.79 GPA and a class rank of 40/145. Though I wish my class rank were higher, my school is a charter school so it is very competitive, even students with GPA's of above 4.00 nearly miss

Looking back, there are a plethora of interesting accomplishments I have attained throughout my high school career. I swam with dolphins in the Bahamas, I bring smiles to faces while working at a nursing home 3 times every week, I was privileged to admire the beauty of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, and I was invited to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York. I could go on to discuss how one of these entitlements shaped me, because they definitely did, but instead I would like to write about something that I have dedicated everything for. Something that controls every decision I make. Something I am so passionate about, that my application would be incomplete without it, and that is marching band. Being in the marching band has turned the last four years of my life around completely by teaching me time management skills, giving me the opportunity to constantly perform, and allowing me to build relationships that I have only ever dreamed of having.

My high school career was mediocre. I was that average student, did not talk much, did not care about my grades, just being carefree about my life. Therefore, when I finally decided to reevaluate myself, it was too late. The effort of AP classes, earning a decent GPA, receiving a below average SAT score, and failing one class, just shot my hopes to going at least a CSU. Lack of skill, participation, and arrogance, shot my confidence down the drain. The fall of my high school career started when I failed in a class.

Recently it dawned on me that I only have a couple short years left of my high school career and it’s probably a good time to begin thinking about my future: no matter how terrifying the thought is. I’ve begun my “future planning journey” by considering my likes, hobbies, and talents for future career plans and college major options. As I started to narrow down my options, one stood out from the others– my love for animals. Growing up with a dog and two cats, my fascination began at a young age when I would go to their vet appointments and observe the doctor's routine. I’ve always had an appreciation for veterinarians and a desire to be surrounded by animals, so the choice has always been so clear to me; I just have to become a vet! To become a veterinarian or work anywhere involving medical practices, there is a lot of school and training to undergo.
