Senioritis In High School

As a senior I hope to accomplish many goals, some of them being in high school and some relating to college. A goal is an aim or a desired result, but may not always be achieved. Going into senior year I have aspirations of going to a good college and working for higher grades.

Junior year; considered the most difficult year of high school. Junior year wants to make senior year as relaxing and stress free as possible. Part of this preparation: community service and then writing a paper and making a presentation surrounding that service. Kennedy calls this project the integrated service learning (ISLE) project. For my ISLE project, I built houses in New Orleans through Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization. I found that when hurricane Katrina and the Levis broke it left a tremendous amount left in its wake. Since the trip would knock all my service hours out in a week and I became interested in the project I went and worked on houses and learned a great deal culture and poverty

His shoulder was thrown in reverse and twisted, and left by his body which was driving forward almost completely leaving it behind. He jerked back as if the force would spring his arm back into place. Gravity took over his knees forcing them to buckle and hit the ground. Some might say he looked like newborn deer, fresh out the womb. His arm was left hanging with barely any support at all. His only support was his hand holding it closely to his side as if he could protect it from further harm. His arm looked like a gummy worm...except more flimsy. The adrenaline took over his body like a built in anesthesia, taking his mind off of the pain only for a short time. he didn 't even bother getting up as the other players scrambled to the huddle

According to College Board, every year, colleges rescind offers of admission, put students on academic probation or later financial aid package as a result of “senioritis.” Colleges may also reserve the right to deny admission to accepted applicants if the student's senior-year grades drop. Colleges expect seniors to maintain the previous level of academic success. As a result, they look at both a midyear report and a final transcript. Seniors who are suffering from senioritis have a high chance of losing their spot at their accepted college if they do not learn to deal with

Urban Dictionary states that Senioritis is “a crippling disease that strikes high school seniors. Symptoms include: laziness, an over-excessive wearing of sweatpants, athletic shorts, and sweatshirts. Also features a lack of studying, repeated absences, and a generally dismissive attitude. The only known cure is a phenomenon known as Graduation.”

In my senior year of high school I had what people call “senioritis”. An excuse for students being lazy, having a lack of studying, and decreased motivation towards the end of high school. There was a huge project two other students and I were doing over news broadcasting for a competition. The year prior we also did the project in which we had much more time to do and we ended up finishing second in regionals.

Senioritis is a common issue across American schools today and can have many different intensities that come along with it. The main cause of such an event is the loss of motivation, especially one who may already know what they are doing for future endeavors such as college or having an awesome job plan lined up for themselves. Everything from just wanting to graduate high school already, to truly despising the building you are locked up in all fall under what senioritis truly represents. Within Woodstock Union High School, whose numbers are slightly less than 400 students, one can see how broad of a spectrum this whole issue has become today.

People may think that senioritis is just for seniors but that is an incorrect assumption. I started to feel it when I was in my freshman year. As the classes got harder, the motivation got weaker for the students, including me. Junior year is mostly declared one of the hardest years in high school and that is when my senioritis came in, full blown. It was the year that decided to take some difficult classes; pre-calc and Restaurant and Food Industry Management 113 (ServSafe Sanitation and Safety). The agonizing pain of pre-calc as I struggled through the semester was more than what I wanted. This is where the Journey to Excellence started last year and having the free will to be able to turn in assignments whenever, and not getting marked down

My senior year is so trash but it started being trash like last year so. First trash thing I moved so I had to leave all the people I enjoyed being around. I knew these people weren't my forever friends but the time we had together was great. I lost things like being in the yearbook and my lettermen. I feel like I didn't enjoy my year because everything I wanted was gone at once. Everything I had planned had to change and the people around me that grew up with in school I wouldn't talk too much anymore. Jefferson has plenty of kids who are stuck up and they hate people from winder so yes perfect. I'd rather have been home schooled and look and my parents face all day. So no this wasn't like in the movies this actually sucks and I'm so very

The senior year, a year that has many faces. With only one year of school a student can possibly learn so much, but is this statement still true when it is senior year? Senior year is infamous for being the lazy year, and often many students have fallen prey to senioritis or a lack of motivation. As a senior myself, the thought about if senior year is necessary has been on my mind.

Senioritis entails the increase of laziness and the decrease of motivation. These students often wear an excessive amount of sweatpants and sweatshirts because putting on real clothes requires effort. The lack of studying and unexcused absences becomes the cause of declining grades. These students usually have a dismissive attitude and can’t be bothered with anything or anyone.

People generally ask upperclassmen in high school on a daily basis what they will do after they receive a basic education. There will always people who know for sure where they are going and what they are doing, then there are many who may just go with the flow of things and see what happens as it comes. Generally speaking, one may place myself in the category of people who know where they are going to go to school and what they will do after that.

Being a senior in High School comes with a lot and of one them is stress. Stress is what

1. Family problem – family issues affect students performance in school as students are not cognitively developed but psychologically,emotionally, or affectionately developed too therefore if they are in a bad state or when family issues such as child abuse,sibling rivalry and many more are burdened on students there is the possibility for the student to flop especially in a case where the student is an excellent child.

I understand fully that the juniors are not seniors yet, and generally the seniors are the ones who have SENIORity. But the fact is, we are the oldest grade, and we may not experience true high school seniority unless the administration takes proactive measures to allow us this experience. By the end of this year, many of the juniors hope to experience some form of seniority (LUNCH LINE, PEOPLE!).
