The Importance Of My Experiences In High School Schools

Alberto Salazar once said, “an athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn’t been there. Goals can be exclusive, which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding”. Training in athletics is like training for college. You have to start all the way at the beginning and work your way up to the top. I come to you today to explain how my difficult journey through high school has influenced my decision about what I want to do in my future, and how it has influenced my family.

Students who are becoming freshmen often ask “what’s it like to be in high school?” High school is not what you think. Freshmen don’t get pushed in lockers, there's not that one popular girl who shoves other students books out of their hands, and the cafeteria is not the most embarrassing place to be. High school is not an amicable. If you really think high school is a amicable place where students smile at each other, think again. Here is some advice from my high school experience.

1. Provide a short description of your high school experience. How have you grown/evolved from 9th grade to this point? List some of the highlights of your high school career.

School uniforms and dress codes are becoming a popular trend among schools. Most Students and some parents don’t agree with the enforcement with school uniforms, saying that uniforms are taking away self-expression in schools. But, school uniforms are not a negative thing to have. Yes, uniforms and some very strict dress codes limit what the students have to choose to wear to school every day, but it doesn’t limit them from learning which is the main reason they are in school. Some students treat school as a fashion show, so eliminating the size of wardrobe shifts the attention toward their school work. Although requiring students to wear school uniforms may violate their self-expression in some ways, a uniform is supposed to be looked

Students had a standard uniform policy that they continued to challenge daily. Students felt that their individuality was being challenged and that teachers weren’t focused on learning, but rather their attire. Brown and Knowles speak about how students have disagreements with adults about their personal fashion decisions and how they are determined to express their own values about the issues more openly at that stage in their

When I was a child attending elementary school all of my friends loved the way I dressed, but there was also other children that attended school with me that seemed inferior to me simply because of how I dressed. Usually the children that praised the way I dress always wore nice clothes themselves, while the others who didn’t dress ad nice would try to pick fights or make fun of children that did dress nice. Later on in my life as I approached high school the tables turned; the teenagers who dressed nice became the ones who picked on other students in school because of the low quality clothes certain students wore in school, this would result in student violence. My stance on student uniforms is that I believe every public school in the

Doesn’t it get boring looking around at the same clothes on everybody. Certain clothing helps put people into friend groups. Why would you want to go to school when you can’t choose what you want to dress and there is no comfort to the clothes you are forced to wear. What about all of the parents that can not afford to pay for the pricey uniforms, sometimes for more than one child. There are many reason that a child should not be forced to wear uniforms, and it's not always just for the kids sometimes parents can’t afford to pay the extra fees.

Many people think that I’ve got everything going for me. I’m captain of my school’s varsity cheerleading squad, I’m an honors student, I’ve got a talent that works for me, and I’ve got a bright future ahead of me. Few people understand that getting to where I am hasn’t been easy.

A significant part of an individual's personality is what they wear. It enables people to manifest themselves both physically and emotionally. Each year, thousands of people spend countless hours worrying about what to wear or how they look. Not only do parents spend multiple hours a day getting ready but kids do as well. However, it is possible for kids to get up every morning and not have to worry about what they are wearing, due to school uniforms. This is actually all becoming a common reality as schools in many civilizations are bringing back school uniforms. School uniforms are becoming a popular trend among many schools across the globe. Uniforms are a distinguishing dress worn by members of a particular group. (Merriam-Webster

The high school experience is something that will forever dominate the psyche of most American adults. It was an unforgettable time of fun, rebel-rousing, summer loves and parties. It was a time of warm summer days at the pool and chilly autumn nights, watching the football team and wondering were the party was going to be that night. School dances and hotel parties. Seems like all I can remember are the good times. High School is a very emotional time for many teens and everything matters. The insidious problems that I had to face are but a smudge on my memory, things like too much homework, zits, mean people, gossip, and algebra. The social atmosphere that permeated every aspect of high school could

It is no surprise that children of all socioeconomic backgrounds, races, religions, and cultures attend the same schools. Individuality is a beautiful thing, but many times children seeing differences among their peers allows room for confusion, animosity, jealousy, and even anger. If a child is insecure about their clothes or appearance, their self-esteem can suffer. Principle of Barbara Comstock Morse Elementary School, Mike Gulden, puts it plainly when asked what would happen if uniforms disappeared tomorrow, “’Our needy kids and fairly well-to-do kids might become magnified and polarized… There’s that stigma of ‘my socioeconomic status.’ Kids 5, 6, 7 years old shouldn’t have to deal with that.’” (Boutelle 36.) When children aren’t worried about what their clothes say about how much money their family has or their home life, they will feel more confident knowing they are dressed how everyone else is dressed.

Individuality is what makes a student unique, but with the introduction of school uniforms, they create militaristic ideals damaging the student’s environment instead of promoting diversity. Some argue that school uniforms are beneficial to students and education, but a plethora of research shows that there are more negatives than positives. Among those are the lack of self expression in schools, the cost involved in having uniforms, the violation of rights and time consumption, and how there is no academic gain correlated to uniforms.

Robyn Silverman explains why she doesn’t believe in uniforms, “At a time where teens and preteens want to express themselves, clothes provide a vehicle, a benign vehicle, to allow them to express themselves and say, ‘I’m different,’ without having to approach more risky ways of saying the same thing” (Falm). Someone who is anti-uniform would argue that the clothes teenagers wear provide the opportunity to express their own individuality. However, there are other ways to display individuality. Students can still express themselves by adding accessories to the uniform. Even though there are negative aspects of school uniforms, students can handle them in creative ways.

When people start high school they’re usually so excited. They can’t wait to experience everything that comes with being in high school, I mean who wouldn’t? Everyone says that high school is the best four years of your life. Now that I’m months away from graduating, I can’t say they were my best years but I can say they were my most educational years, of course I wouldn’t say that they weren’t fun because they were. When I say educational, I mean I’ve learned so much about myself and so much about life. I learned what the words family, love, betrayal, law and life meant. All these events changed me, and I’m glad they happened because I wouldn’t have learned all these lessons. My personality hasn’t changed; I’m still a carefree girl,

I was 7 years old when I first started wearing a uniforms at my school in Meridian , India. My morning routine was quite simple. It started off with me putting on my navy blue skirt , white button down blouse and a dark blue tie. I’d run I ran down the stairs to put on my jet black shoes with white socks as my mom braided my hair. Then we'd have a leisurely breakfast where she'd make me my favorite chocolate chips pancakes and I would head to school. At school,I would to see my friends and classmates wearing the exact same white button down shirt paired with a navy blue skirt and a navy blue tie , and black shoes; We all looked the same. Nobody made fun of each other, we didn’t compare ourselves and no one picked on someone else because of their appearance. I didn't care what I was wearing or how I looked as all my friends would also be wearing the same clothes as I did.
