Seton High School Reflection

The main two ways that I believe that I have grown this year are athletically and academically. Both have helped me to better understand what I might want to do when I grow up. 8th grade just happened to be my very first year ever playing an organized sport. I also made starter for all but one game that season. On the academic side, my 8th grade year was one of my worst school years ever. 9th grade however, had me turning over a new leaf of academic excellence.

This semester I participated in a service learning partnership with two other students. Through the semester I spent a little over ten hours with each of my partners. Most of the activities we participated in were activities in which we were able to get to know one other on more of a personal level. The thing that made this partnership interesting was the fact we were all from different parts of the world. Which means the way we had grown up was very different for each of us.

Joining a club blind of who else was joining challenged me to interact and develop relationships with people who would have otherwise been strangers to me. This helped improve the quality of the High School experience of others and myself as it helped form bonds that will continue post-graduation. Participating in activities with these new friends from Key Club has made me a better person because these relationships have acted as training wheel in the process of associating servitude with fun. Most importantly though, the expansion of my social life through Key Club has helped me cope with the stress of

One of the interesting facts about these videos to me is that University of Phoenix produced and used challenge coin without the approval from the military just to trick veterans to believe that Department of Defense has looked and examined that organization and authorized them in some way to provide them with the

After almost 12 years in the Napavine School District I have had many different experiences. I think the Napavine High School is a pretty good school, although I don’t have experience with other schools. I do think there is some changes and improvements that the Napavine High School could use. One of the main issues I think the school has is the amount of core classes required and the total number of credits required.

At the open house, I got a chance to have an engaging conversation with some currently attending seniors [Nilay, Patrick and Celine] at the academy, and as we talked I felt that I could really relate to them, whether it be in terms of interests, hobbies

The event that I attended was hosted by the Academic Success & Tutoring Center (ASTC). It was a one hour program that was part of series to help new students ease into and survive their first semester at Stony Brook University. The particular topic that I decided to attend was Goals and Motivation. I have a hard time staying motivated and getting my work done. I always seem to wait until the last minute to do things and then I break down because I am so stressed out. I'm also having second thoughts on what I want to do in my life and how I am going to get there. Therefore I thought that this topic was particularly good for me and I think that it was actually quite helpful.

I was not one that I was excited for but I did teach me and reinforce some valuable lessons. For starters I learned that sometimes in life you have to do things in life that you do not necessarily like or want to do. It also gave me a slight taste of the amount of independent work and research I would have to do if I choose to prosue a career in a legislative field. In addition to having to do things I don’t like and giving me a glimps into the future, this project stressed the importance that college is not always about having fun. My overall goal is to graduate and that means that sometimes I may have to miss out on certain events. Most importantly this project let me know that the only thing standing in the way of my success is myself. I can achieve anything that I put my mind to all I have to do is fight the urge to procrastinate and work

I hope that your winter break was relaxing yet productive. Over the break, I watched a documentary that featured Crellin Elementary School in Crellin, Maryland. The purpose of this documentary is to show how real schools are putting democratic education into practice and what steps the school is taking to cultivate a democratic school environment. After watching the documentary, I took a brief trip to Crellin Elementary School to get a better idea of how to put democratic education into practice. Two results of putting democratic education into practice include encouraging parent involvement and student voice; which are three aspects of democratic education I look forward to implementing into my classroom this new year.

My senior reflection on Sam Houston High School. After high school, I plan to go to college and I plan to major in nursing. My band directors was my star educator. They help me to pass all my class and get a good grade. When I'm was in Thailand, my rank was always the last one or the second to the last one. Now my rank was 26, that why they are my star educator because they there to support me when I have low grade and help me to keep my grade up. If they don’t help me I will not be in the rank 26. I thank you my family for help me not to fall apart and to get through school. They help me to focus on my education. They don’t let me get a job while I still go to school because if I got a job I will not do my study and I might be working late

Another session I found interesting was High School Groups: Ins and Outs. In this session, I learned that there are many types of groups people can

I’ve made friends and contacts with other students much like myself. At first, I was terrified of participating in such a large event filled with unknown faces. Being one of the two freshman invited to the event, I felt out of place. However, the people who sat near me helped me open up and as a result, I now have a sense of confidence I didn’t originally have before. Guest speakers such as Jack Andraka, Shree Bose and Nobel Prize winner Richard Roberts gave insight on the world of science and about their journey to where they are now. Thanks to their words of guidance, I was able to find a sense of ground on my future. The advice of the speakers and friends i made gave me the motivation I needed. Overall, the experience left me as an improved person and prepared for my future better than anything else I’ve

While in Soquel high school I had to spend extra time in my English classes, I needed emphasize in my writing and overall skills, so I could be able to get better grades on my essays. My teachers helped me plenty of times although I dislike writing but I knew I had to do it for my own good.

In the beginning of my junior year, I applied to the Junior Leadership Program of El Paso, a well-known and competitive organization within our city. The application is only open to current juniors in high school and I was one of the lucky four to be selected to represent our school in the program. This was the first time Northwest Early College High School would participate in the program. Within the first month, I met with forty other students from other high schools around El Paso and we soon became close friends. Our first meeting with each other, was a team building exercise where we got to experience a Ropes Course. Not only did we have to depend on each other, but we cheered each other on to the finish. That is all it took

I was also involved for three and a half years in a student government club on campus. In this club I learned many life lessons. One of which was the value of hard work. I was one of the few people that organized the Junior/Senior Prom of 2000. My responsibilities included planning corranation, buying and organizing decorations, planning the busing schedule, booking the photographers, fundraising, ect. This taught me about hard work. But the best part of it was going to Prom knowing I was one of the only reasons that it happened.
