Honestly I love college rather than my high school. My high school can rot in hell for all I care. They always left us loads of homework, six packets plus reading a day, for six classes. As if we did not have a life, and we went home to be couch potatoes. Some of us had a job, others like myself were in a sport or club, so when we got home either it was 10 PM or 11 PM. Monday through Friday we call them all nighters because we wouldn 't go to sleep until 3 AM just to get done with half of the homework
swallow. For me wrestling was my life in high school. Nothing was more important being on the mat. Wrestling knowing at the end of the day that only you could stop yourself. It wasn't until i reached college and tried to make the leap for high school to college that reality sat in. I applied to San Francisco State providing film hoping to insure a scholarship. In return they told me that my skill weren’t at the level they need. Wrestling in high school was the life. I started every match from the
says high school isn’t all that bad, and for some it isn’t, but for others it can ultimately define who you are, and who you will become. Under extreme pressure and depression, most people come to a breaking point. This wasn’t the case for me. I knew when enough was enough, and it was time for a change. Throughout childhood I was obese, according to my doctor. As years passed by, I became lazy and out of shape. Video games were my passion, and food was my gateway from casting aside all my problems
When helping others you always believe that you are doing the right thing. In this case, the right thing ended up with my parents’ jewelry gone and loss of what I thought was a friend. The start of my eleventh grade high school year in Seattle was not only the worst year of my life, but the most eye opening experiences of my life. How could someone play the role so well, and smile with a big, innocent grin to your family, but be so evil and empty inside? How could someone betray your trust when you
Up until high school, I never really knew what I wanted to pursue in. There were so many options and although I did have some idea before entering the 9th grade, I was still waiting to find a subject that I truly enjoyed. During my freshmen year, I finally found that subject – biology. Before high school, I was never really interested in science classes. The only reason why I took biology in freshmen year was because it was a prerequisite. It turned out to become the most pivotal course I took throughout
Living life in the fast lane for the second year in a row. No parental guidance. Freedom. The best times of a person’s life. College is certainly an experience that is a wake-up call for high school students transitioning to and adult lifestyle. My particular experience, my sophomore year, caused me to learn some life lessons the hard way and fast. I allowed all of the fun that undergraduate life had to offer steer me, and my focus, away from my main purpose of being in school which was to earn a
High school has been an experience to say the least. I’ve spent the last four years at Father Ryan attempting to find myself and my place in the world, much like puzzle piece. A puzzle has many pieces that contribute to an entire image when properly placed among each other. High school is similar to this idea because throughout the past four years I have constantly been trying to find my perfect fit and where I belong. When I was a Freshmen I molded my personality to fit anywhere just to have friends
important journey in my life was the transition from middle school to high school. I had to complete all my homework every night. I had a lot of studying to do as well. I also had to complete one more thing, my high school applications. In order to get into a good high school I had to maintain a high GPA, study for the HSPT and complete my high school applications. First things first, I had to get good grades. I had to listen in class and not zone out. I had to complete all my homework and reach out
during summer school. Maybe what one person enjoyed learning another did not. It is ok for people to enjoy learning completely different things. There are many different things that were taught during the summer like lessons on life, how to write essays, how to take notes properly, and many more things. These are my favorite things I learned this summer and this is why. I have always had a tough time with writing essays and doing stories. I never fully understood how to write an essay until I got
The topic that I plan to explore in my Manson essay will be is college education worth? The workable thesis is going to be college education is worth it because high school doesn't teach life experiences and lessons like college does.
