Why Is It Important To Be Allowed In High School?

Hello, My name is Sarah and I am writing to you regarding the new policy that is being adopted. The one about "Students who do not have a B average or above, can no longer participate in after school activities including any clubs or sports."

As I stepped on the field, I knew the next few minutes could make or break my college options. Although I was only a freshman, if I were able to make varsity, college would be closer in reach. The first feed I had from behind cage was low, my stick drug the ground as if I was using a shovel, I cradled through the ball and somehow came up with it, no problem. My next challenge was to finish the shot. As I made a fake and the ball plummeted to the ground, I knew I needed to step up my game. The second pass came right into the pocket of my stick, I faked low and shot high, directly into the top corner of the goal. I slowly jogged off the field, behind me I faintly heard “way to go kid”, I knew it must have been the varsity coach.

One night her best friend showed up at their doorstep after walking four miles from her house. The family had known this girl for two years and never knew about the abuse, torture, and neglect she endured at the hands of her father and step-mother. The family gave her a place to stay while they tried to figure out what to do. The girl’s father arrived fully expecting to take his daughter home, but Steve and Trudi knew they could not let her go back to that house. Law enforcement was called, but since there was no physical proof, the girl was sent back home with her father. The abuse got worse because the girl was being “punished” for running away so she left home again, albeit this time she went to the house of someone employed at the school. The father never believed that the girl was not at Steve and Trudi’s house so he would constantly harass the family and demand to have his daughter back. The girl’s living situation was only temporary. She quickly found an abusive boyfriend and became pregnant. They moved away after graduation and the connection was lost.

Each year, 1.2 million students drop out of high school in the United States alone. According to Dropoutprevention.org teenagers leave school because they feel they cannot complete course requirements, cannot keep up with school assignments or feel they do not connect with their teachers. When the young adults stop their education, they no longer have positive examples to follow and lose a plan for their life in the future. Teens are not yet experienced enough to make these types of life changing decisions. It is important for the government to set regulations for them to follow so they have a better opportunity of success later in life. Students should be required to stay in school until they are eighteen years old because high school teaches them life skills and their diploma qualify

In “Serve or Fail,” Dave Eggers dissatisfies the phenomenon that although college students have too much leisure, they are not willing to give a few hours doing community services. Eggers suggests that colleges should consider instituting a service requirement for graduation, and colleges are best-poised to create in their students a lifelong commitment to volunteering. He pointed out that there are even programs done by colleges and high schools in order to gain more than two million volunteer hours a year. Owning a lot of time, Being mature and able to handle wide range of tasks, and receiving the opportunity to discover a potential career, make Eggers believes that college students are uniquely suited to do volunteer work. Eggers admits

The rule to measure twice and cut once was changed to; check your proportions twice before you poured once. Insure everything was level and square before putting it together was changed to; check for consistency or evenness prior to pouring or shaping. Always have a safety buddy at your side when doing things that can cost you to lose a finger was changed into; having someone near to check everything off on your list according to the directions. Soon questions were being asked and recipes were being changed for the better, and in some cases beyond the teacher’s expectations. One thing Mrs. Riviera had tried to do was get the other teachers to be taste testers, but was never successful. We had an idea and it worked out perfectly.

I walk out towards the middle of the gym floor, the reggae song “Mr. Boombastic” blasts through the stereo system, tens of thousands of eyes stare at me as I am dressed in a blue one piece with a hood. I raise my arms while looking at both sides of bleachers, undoubtedly in attempt to get the entire school on their feet and cheering. In a matter of seconds, there is not a single student seated. All of them have risen and the cheers and hollers echo throughout the gym. Before I can even think my body and lanky limbs are moving in crazy and hilarious motions nonetheless in unison with the girl next to me who happens to be my best friend. We are the representatives for the senior class in the beloved and well endowed traditional dance off during the first pep rally of the year.

I was about 13 at the time, wasting the night away over at a friends house. Me and my friend, lets call him Joe, went way back to grade school. We were quite the troublemakers in our early days, causing most teachers to separate us or the class would have to endure our smart-assery. When we were finally separated it’s almost as if the class collectively sighed of relief for they could finally get things done.

In high school it is mandatory for all students to take four years of Math and English classes, three years of science, two years of social studies, at least one year of performing arts, and also take any elective classes. High school students are not able to choose classes that they desire for a certain career they would like to pursue in the future because of the mandatory classes that are forced upon them.

While she was in the shed, she experienced emotions she has never experienced to that extreme before; being alone and afraid. She thought her dad would never let her come home again! Not knowing what to do, she stayed in the shed shaking in fear and sadness. As the minutes went by they started feeling like hours, and she decided she needed to leave. Than, she decided she would run away to the Wendy’s across the street. Her mom works at Wendy’s and she will be safe there. She thought to herself, that all she had to do crossed the main road, go to Wendy’s and everything will be fixed. All she wanted was some fries to make everything better, even though she has no money to pay for the fries. She knew she couldn’t stay in the shed forever, nor did she want to. So, she decided to run to her fence to get ready to run away. Looking out onto the road she got too frightened and decided to go back into the

The School system's faculty is suppose to work for the best outcome for students in their future. So if the school's system is voting for the B average or above, they are clearly not doing their job. These new rules have been coming in effect since many believe technology is becoming an uprising career. Some students are not the smartest, but are the best at the sport or enjoy the sport, it has happened in the past before, and the past has been correct before.

What is the most common reason why high school would go to college? My old friend Sean Kisch is going to graduate with a major in music. His eldest sister will be done with her degree in modern dance this semester. Looking at myself, I am not that far along. I attempted to navigate around college because it was seen as too expensive. The mountain of debt for going to a private Christian college is to grate to pay off. Most people are not made out of money. The money may not be the case because an alternative does exist, it just is not as glorious. A person can obtain an associate’s degree at a community college for considerably less. Which is the choice I have made.

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.

“Are you ok? Do you need a cold towel? Water? Anything?” August stood there in the doorway looking at her mom. “No i’m fine. Are you going out today? If so could you bring me a drink?” August rolls her eyes and walks to her bathroom. I wish she would just stop the drinking, it’s messed this family up enough. From downstairs you could hear the bottle being set down on the table. “Here she goes again”, August thought as she walked down stairs. August stands at the bottom of the stairs and says, “I can’t keep letting you drink like this mom. It’s hurting us, it's hurting YOU and it has hurt this family! You need to stop! Dad leaving is not an excuse for you to continue to drink like this, do you not know what it can do to you? Do you not see the damage it has done?” Her mom looks over at her, stands up and begins to stagger towards her. You could see the fury in her eyes. “I’ve told you time and time again i’m a grown lady and I can take care of myself August, mind your business.” August steps back as she looks into her mother’s bloodshot eyes. Her mother gets ready to say something else but stops...she then raises her hand and BOOM! August is left there holding her face crying as her mom staggers to the
