The Importance Of Education In High School

High school helped me become aware of the fact that I’m not the best, but I’m okay with that now. Being in advanced classes with advanced students made me feel like I didn’t belong in there. Freshman year was when I realized I had a problem and that problem was self-doubt. I wasn’t confident in my work. The significance behind this is I struggled with it for about two years and never mentioned it to anyone, but I’ve dealt with it and I’m a stronger person now.

Have you ever wondered, who am I or who do I want to be. For most people going through highschool helps them find out. You might think your someone your not in middle school or you might be trying to be what people want you to be. There are so many activities or clubs you can be in that will help you find out.

When I got to high school, my grades started to climb. I was trying. In middle school, learning was hard for me, so instead of trying, I chose to give up. When faced with failure in class, I caved and quit without a second thought. When I encountered failure yet again with my grades, this time being worse, it made me feel like nothing, so I decided to conquer it and become something. Feeling ashamed of myself for being a poor student has brought me to improve myself. At first I wanted to improve my grades so I didn’t look dumb, but now I was doing it for me and my future. If my friends didn’t make an effort to receive good grades in school, I wouldn’t be the same student I am today. They helped change me for the better, and they don’t even

High school taught me how to properly dissect a cat, how to find the missing angle of triangle, and to raise my hand and ask for permission when i need to use the bathroom. What high school never taught me was to learn how to find a job, pay taxes, buy a house, nor how to establish a good credit. High school has given me a good education but it didn't shape me as a person, i was shaped by people, experiences, failure, and loss. Through experience my parents and family members taught me that when one door closes another one opens, how to be independent, and the difference from right and wrong. Experience is one of the main keys to success, experience has taught me to make good decisions. My parents took me traveling to show me when a person

A climax of my life was moving from New Jersey to California over the summer between 6th and 7th grade. Luckily I had already made the transition from elementary to middle school, but I still had considerable adjustments to make. For instance, I came from a grade of 250 students to a section of just 80, and was introduced to the concept of honors classes. Nevertheless, I found that the academic adjustments were minor, and the bigger issue was cultural. My New Jersey hometown is tiny and has a library with limited resources. On the other hand, Beverly Hills’ beautiful library boasts a newly renovated children’s section. While many of my friends’ parents rode the train to commute to New York City, Beverly parents all seem to drive. My family

It is important to have a high school education, because the higher education you have the better job you get. Also getting a high school education sets you on the path if what you might want to do in the future.

Going to college as a sixteen year old would definitely be a change any student would have to become accustomed to. My mom, dad, friends and pets are all within the city limits of Corbin, Kentucky. I am extremely close to my parents and don’t know what I would do without them. Going a full week not seeing them face to face will be a challenge. I am the proud owner of three furry pets whom I am very attached to and love so dearly. I would miss my cats curling up next to me for an afternoon nap, or my dog deciding to lick my face so he can get a treat. My classmates and I have bonded for over eleven years, sharing the time facing disappointments and overcoming obstacles. To not finish out high school with my friends by my side would be bizarre,

I have not attended many different schools but I know that they all have more than one thing in common, and these things need to be changed somehow, they are just not working. Whether you are attending primary school, secondary school or college there are always issues with how we are taught, what is being taught to us and how will it help us at the end of the day. I am sure there are many reasons why we are taught the way we are and why we need to learn these things. The list is endless. My entire school life I have come to discover patterns from different students including myself. Attending school and learning is not boring or tiring. The schedule, the process and the reasoning behind going to school is unfitting.

I will be sharing my personal experience on why high school plays such an important role in our lives, and how it has impacted my life. Earning a high school diploma is extremely important, many people don’t have that in mind, but education is very essential to students. To have basic knowledge of all the subjects in school and identifying skills and how earning a high school diploma will take you further in life than you expect.

An ideal high-paying job has been saturated with the fact that going to a four-year school is required. Now, when this concept may be false, it still is important to understand that your chances of landing that particular job or career will be increased. Something that should also be taken into consideration is that college isn’t for everyone and it's ultimately the student's decision whether or not to go. This relates to Ken Robinson’s TED TALK when he stated that the misconception of education within high schools have taken a turn away from a human system and towards a mechanical process. In this case, it provides the opportunity for a more diverse system that incorporates a broad and flexible curriculum that could lead students towards wanting to go to college.

They didn’t teach me anything! I learned more in pre-k and kindergarten then I ever learned in high school! I have always loved learning new things, but oh! How sad it is to know my best learning years where in my lowest level grade. Why do teachers force you to cram and now at such a young age but when you get to your teen years it seems all teachers get amnesia and forget how to teach students, and just hand you the easy grade. Just go ahead and call it an easy A in that class because that’s what it is! The system is letting us down! They are giving students easy grades. Is there a difference in handing out grades and teaching?

Sometimes I wish I was four again. The amount of imagination and creativity that a four year old has is vastly more impressive than that of a high schooler. Harper, the four year old I babysit every Sunday, has never-ending amounts of energy, excitement towards reading, and is intoxicated by learning how the world works. Me, on the other hand, not so much. Like other high school students, I find myself bored and annoyed with school readings, apprehensive about life outside of school, and dragged down by the everyday hustle and bustle of school, homework, and extracurriculars, all while still trying to be socially active. Kindergarteners get to learn about new topics and interests, but by the time those children are in high school, they are

There are many opportunities through one’s life where it is possible to gain education. Some may find these opportunities through books, movies, friends, or even just from daily activity. Although I have learned a great deal of information from these themes, I have noticed that I have surprisingly gained a lot of education from my band class provided at my high school. Not only have I learned the importance of music, but I have gained many educational values. Throughout my life, one place I have surprisingly gained education from, including time management, knowledge expansion, and hard work ethic, is my band class.

Having a quality education is the key for succeeding in life. High School was the beginning of my journey. There are various differences between a High School student and a College student. The major I chose was Practical Nursing. I believe this major will be the stepping stones of my Nursing career. The services provided at HCCC to students will aide me to obtain my Practical Nursing degree. The transformation from High School to College will be a smooth transition with the help of HCCC’s assistance to obtain a higher education.
