The Importance Of My Senior Year Of High School

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

I just can’t believe there is only few more days of high school left. As the days are getting closer and closer, it's getting sad. I still remember the day I stepped into Maine East High School as a Freshman, at that time, all I wished for was to graduate from this school with good grades. High school was not the way I imagined, it is way different from what I thought and definitely different from Middle School. Freshman year was the “exploring/adventure” year, finding where each classes were, what activities/clubs were offered at this school and many more. Freshman year went quickly and then Sophomore year came up. Sophomore year was probably the least stressful year in high school but from Sophomore year my family and friends started asking me the scariest question “What are you doing after high school, which career?

Freshman year at Renaissance High School, I was hanging out with the wrong crowd. I was skipping class and didn’t do classwork the handful of times I was in class. Time passed and before I knew it, it was my junior year in high school and while you are supposed to have 33 credits I only had 9 credits and 1 regent exam. When I was 16, I became depressed because I was raped. Throughout the time I spent in therapy, I was considering dropping out of high school. I thought it was too late for me to catch up with the credits I was missing. I felt as if my life had spun out of control and I couldn’t take control again. I thought I wouldn’t be anything besides a Bronx girl from the ghetto who dropped out of school. One night I was talking to an old

My second semester of 11th grade was very difficult. The previous semester was spent learning to manage my time and becoming acquainted with a new lifestyle I was attempting to adopt. A lifestyle full of responsible choices and a well managed schedule. After a few weeks of struggling I finally started to get the hang of it. My grades were looking great until I decided that I wanted to take a 10 hour a week college class at Los Angeles City College. My life began to fall apart as soon as the class started. Every Monday and Wednesday I was forced to rush home on the metro then make my way to class to let physics 101 lessons consume me. It was fantastic at the time. I loved every minute of the experience. I met an abundance of people that helped

Once cheer try outs for my senior year rolled around it was hitting me that I was a senior. We had cheer camp and I realized that was my last ever cheer camp for cheer in high school. Once school was starting and we had to get prepared for football season it really hit me that I was a senior, I wasn’t quite sure how to really take it. I didn’t think me becoming a senior would come so quickly and so fast. I can remember homecoming week like it was just a couple weeks ago, now that went by super fast and I didn’t really realize it till about a month ago. To me time fly’s by when you’re having fun, senior year is probably been the best year yet. I’ve had more memories my senior year than probably any other year. When basketball season came around

Entering my final year of high school has caused me to think about my future and the goals I hope to accomplish. One goal is to attend Douglas collage to obtain my associate art degree, and the other goal is to improve my diet.

So far in my Senior year, things seem like they're going by so fast, I mean it's already mid-quarter and it still feels like school just started yesterday! Some things I am doing well to get me to graduation is taking all the classes I need to get whatever credits I need for this last year, participating in Extracurricular activities, and overall just enjoying everything about Senior year as it comes. Things that I catch myself still struggling with is doing all my assignments on time, managing my time between school, chores, and sports, and finally, not being as "on it" as I should be about doing all my school work because it's all going to count if I want to go to college next year. Adjustments that I need to make is being way more

I understand, that there might be questions about the courses I have chosen my senior year. I hope to answer them now. It was planned from the very first year I came to the Stony Brook School, that I will spend my senior year doing what I am really passionate about and getting ready for college. I’ve shown that I challenge myself academically, and, despite, my international background feel comfortable and confident in the American system of education. However, during my final year at the school, I spend more time working on my outside projects, like the retail store, and personal development, taking philosophy classes at school, and online. As it was mentioned, we are transitioning to the franchise and it takes a lot of work to put all the

If you had spoken to me seven months ago about my plans for my senior year and for starting my college education, my answer would be different than what it is now. Throughout those seven months, I struggled with my health, causing me to reevaluate how I would reach my goals in life, and if I would ever be able to reach these goals. I had based my entire high school career around being a “scholarship boy” and preparing myself to succeed in college. Instead of continuing this course during the first half of my senior year, I was practically bedridden; only leaving my house for doctor’s appointments. Thankfully, a diagnosis followed by the help of a few avant-garde holistic doctors, gave me my life back by enabling me to return to a semblance

Over the past few years, I feel like i have matured so much faster than other people my age due to the lack of excitement in my life. I realize my senior year is so important, but i can honestly it has been one of the most difficult times of my life.

As the last quarter of my high school career nears its end, I can’t help but think about the last three years of high school and how much I have evolved. Freshman year I was far from the quiet person I am now. I was very talkative and much more outgoing. I used to play basketball for the school and that was my only worry at the time. There weren’t any SATs like junior year or college applications like this year. The last three years flew by so fast that I never got a chance to actually see how much I grew until now.

A few things I expect from my freshmen year at Calaveras High School is new friends, like weather or not they are going to be my friends just through high school or if they are going to be my friends throughout my whole life. Another expectation that I have is sports I expect to play high school football and baseball. There are so many more expectations that I have for my freshman year at Calaveras High School.

My senior year so far has been going pretty good, it's not really what I expected it to be but i'm still going to make the best out of it. Something that I've been doing well so far and very proud of is being present to all my classes. This year I am trying to have no absences so I can be all caught up on my work and not have piles of makeup work to do. I guess something's I struggle with personally that may affect my school work is when i'm in a despondent mood. I'm not really myself and I don't really like to work, I'd rather just push everything away and not do anything. My only adjustments would be to not let my mood interfere with my work. I have to get my priorities straight. One thing I really want to improve this year is to be

2016 is a very important year for my freshman year self. This year will be the first year that I will have the opportunity to cast my ballot and vote. This piece of independence and freedom comes with the responsibility to make well informed decisions based on my ideals and morals. In following the 2016 Presidential Election, I became very interested in the candidate’s views on science related topics and issues.
