Aunt Nancy just continued to work at the job she acquired, right out of high school, and work her way up through the ranks at this job.  There was no push by her parents to continue her education, and therefore

High School Sports In high school many kids often choose not to participate in extra curricular activities saying that there pointless or that only a certain type of person would do something like play football, or join the chess club. While this type of thinking may get some people through school and through life, can it really be looked at as being a healthy lifestyle? Today sports have proven to be a healthy outlet for students, in dealing with stress in the classroom at home and among their

Gender in Sports In high schools and junior high schools across the country the importance of interscholastic sports competitions is strongly demonstrated to the students. They see the rewards and accolades given to the accomplished athletes, not only at these levels, but at the collegiate and professional levels as well. While most of these teams are formed and exist for both men and women, it is interesting how different each team tends to be treated. At High school football games, for example

Stay in High-school First of all, I think the students should be motivated mainly by their parents and then by their teachers. Parents should motivate their children by telling them how being a high-school graduate High-School Drop-Outs How can students be motivated to stay in school?

self-discipline, teamwork, cooperation, and concentration. Too bad none of these attributes rubbed off on my schooling. The university said that they would help me out with my schoolwork but that was just a lie, one in which they still use today. The school put me into these "easy" classes which didn't teach me anything except how to fall asleep in class. The university was only worried about winning games and being nationally recognized. They didn't help me when I was doing poorly and even after I was

Is College Worth It? In Life today a college education is no longer an option or privilege, but rather it is a necessity. We are raised to believe that a person needs higher education in order to succeed in life. There is a saying, “if you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” You may ask is college necessary? There are people out in the real world that have never set a foot on a college campus before and they are doing better than others that have their master’s degree. There are

with a developmental disorder like Attention Deficit Disorder. The contrasts of home schooling to public schooling are in structure, socializing and behavioral expectations. These areas are often the core issues that a child with A.D.D. in the public school system will struggle with. Although home schooling does offer flexible structure it does not allow for as many social opportunities nor does it allow room for the child to meet the behavioral expectations of many other authority figures.

from Virginia’s Woolf’s essay, “A Room of One’s Own”. Here she is making a point about universities and the funding that they received from men that had gone to school there. Woolf’s essay takes place during the early nineteen hundreds when most women did not attend a university. There was great inequality of those who attended school because men had control over all the money. The men in society either received

Four years of my life drained away at this place called Troy High School. After this year I will be walking away from Troy, worn and torn from the hours of anticipation for grades to be posted, the next weekend to arrive, the answer to whether that special someone will say yes to the next dance, or the unbearable wait for that painstaking bell to ring. Troy is a place of education, a very good one at that, with its Blue Ribbon Award and national recognition, you’d think I would be walking away with

Our freshmen year, we still had that leftover feeling of needing to be "cool," that carried over from middle school We'd spy out the upperclassmen and latch on to them like leeches, hoping that somehow their "coolness" would rub off. In sports, we were the tackle-dummies, the worthless 3rd string ball boys who dreamed of the day we'd be first string. Yes, this
