What Are The Challenges Of Balancing High School

High School is one of the most prominent time in one’s life. During this time, one is taught to be financially literate, how to use grammar and punctuations wisely, be mathematically inclined and aware of different sciences. Notice how I excluded history, but there is a reason for this. History is often manipulated and told by those who are comfortable telling fabricated stories made up by the white man. This causes for students, especially African Americans have a false interpretation of their history and come to college relatively unprepared. ADW and its concepts go into the root of history without giving out false conceptions, however, it is very unfortunate that it is not taught until one’s young adult years because that is when distorted information is already drilled into their brain. ADW concepts being taught in high school such as issues of identity; the intersection of race, gender, and social class; displacement, and conditions of servitude could only lead to the enrichment of the inquiring minds of this generation, allow them to see relatable circumstances, and help diminish their ignorance of African history.

The transition into high school remains one of the hardest obstacles that I have faced. It was difficult for me because the curriculum and rigor of the English courses I took in middle school were not as equal with what had been taught by the middle school affiliated with my high school. Attending a new school and trying to find where I fit in, while also struggling academically, created a stressful environment. I was very nervous to ask for help since I had

After a rough time in elementary and middle-school, I thought high school would be a great fresh start for me. In some ways it was. I formed a new perception of myself, attained friends and felt content with where I am socially. I have a group of close friends and many acquaintances, but most importantly I am myself. Having finally become comfortable with others, I needed to find myself internally. It has been my continual struggle and a hard course of lessons to learn. For me, hard work and happiness have been in conflict. I wanted to be happy but every time I attempted to do homework, or take a test, I did not feel happy so I would avoid it homework and tests even skipping the class. Taking on that bad pattern much like my first failure I endured many more. Some failures and hardships I was able to conquer, with my first E in math class, I was able to attend summer school and get a

A challenging goal that took a long time to achieve was maintaining a 3.5+ GPA by the end of junior year along with taking care of my family while my father is sick. Throughout middle school and high school, I have helped my mother and father with chores around the house as well as assisting my father whenever he needed medicine or other tasks to be done. It has been a responsibility of mine to step up as the head of the house along with my mother to meet the family’s needs. My brother is younger than I am, so I have had to help him with school and any problems that arose, from friends to health.

High school was a rigorous time for me as I’m sure it is for many teens. I made it harder for myself by not doing the best I could. For example, when a huge exam was coming up, I wouldn’t read all of the material.

The traditional four year school system does not meet the needs of some high school students. Students in today’s society have their own unique method of learning. The more opportunities Education Achievement Authority offer the better students will be successful. Flexibility should be accommodated with the traditional school system because it will offer advance students extensive learning objectives, meanwhile assisting struggling students to a better understanding.

Throughout high school, it seemed as if obstacles surrounded me. At every turn I was attempting to move every block around me in order to succeed. I wrestled to figure out the best ways to accomplish goals. I learned to take extra time to study and practice in order to obtain good grades. I worked twice as hard in every aspect of my life, in my academia and extracurricular activities. Then another block got in my way – my mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2009. Although her diagnosis was a setback, it sparked my interest in medicine. Due to early detection, my mother was

High school is full of many twists and turns and no one knows exactly what's going to happen in high school. There can be many things that can help to have a simple high school life but there is also things that can make it harder. I am going to be talking about three of my hardships I have faced during high school.

Summer vacation is over, time to start a new level in my life, high school. I was scared to start high school, it felt as if I was barely going into kindergarten. My older sister Diana, and brother Robert were no help. Instead of describing high school in a more positive way, they described it as, “High school is boring and not even helpful instead it feels like Jail” I was full of fear, questions after questions would be running through my head. What if I don’t fit in? What if I fail every class? It was Saturday morning, my family and I were just done eating breakfast, and decided to go shopping, I bought all my school supplies to go prepared. Sunday night, I was writing in my diary how frightened I was to not fit in or be alone, with no friends. Two weeks before starting my freshman year I went to pick up my schedule, My first hour was physical science, second English, third Avid, fourth advisory, fifth period and six lunch and seventh Chinese and my last hour was theater. So Monday came I woke up, brushed my teeth, showered, and got dressed.

I have always been a hardworking student, but throughout my high school years I have experienced what I later found to be extremely common: immense stress, health problems, and depression. As an Early College High School (ECHS) student, the expectations bestowed onto a regular high school student have more than doubled, leaving the unprepared and carefree eighth grade students spinning the second they step into an ECHS class.

During my high school career I have encountered many obstacles and many challenges. I have also met many great peers and teachers to help me along the way. My freshman year was my most challenging year, since I was still recovering from my accident. I was getting pulled out of class fairly often for cognitive testing and had to miss a lot of school for doctors appointments. Before school even started I already had seven doctors appointments scheduled. Every time I went to an appointment there was a new test done on me. I had MRI’s, EKG’s, and ct scans left and right. I also had wires hooked up to my head to check my brain's activity while strobe lights were being flashed in my face to see if I would have a seizure. So you could say it wasn't the most fun experience ever. Plus it made keeping up with my school work challenging.

To begin, when I was in high school, I had no pressure when it comes to the responsibilities. Most of the times I was constantly remembered by my teachers on when homework is due. I was usually corrected by my teacher and sometimes parents when things are going wrong. I never struggled alone. I remember in my junior year in high school, there was a time I was overwhelmed with the number of academic classes I was taking and the extracurriculars I was involved in. Clearly, from time to time I felt as if I was losing control with all the sports, clubs and activities I was involved in. But unlike college, high school is more open and you don’t have to struggle alone. The responsivities were fewer because I could get help from my teachers, classmates and sometimes parents and

When most people think of high school they think of the memorable football games that would embrace the zesty flavored hot dogs, and the beautiful cheerleaders. They also think of the tasty school lunches that would make your nostrils flare with desire, and possibly maybe the cute guy that you “accidently” sat by each math class. Though, this seems ideal, my high school experience wasn’t quite that pleasant. High school was very difficult for me. My complications began with my full time job at McDonald’s that took effect on my school work. Than, proceeded with my family thinking that I would follow my mother’s footsteps that supposdely led to failure on my end of the rope. Finally, ending with me being constantly harassed in school. Regardless of my many issues, I still managed to graduate on time.
