My entire life has been centered around starting my career and getting to do what I love. I want to help people. That is why I’ve worked so hard throughout school, I want to be successful in my life goals. This can be seen in the academic history I have. For example, I have a 4.1 GPA, a 28 on my ACT and I have over 100 hours of volunteer work. I’ve devoted a large amount of time to my community and I’ve always wanted to be a positive person who helps others in any way I can. I have also committed to my career, I attend Summit Technology Academy for Pre- Professional nursing and I will graduate with my CNA. I hope to go straight into my area of choice and work at a hospital, right out of high school. Overall, I have…
There are many types of goals. Growing up, I always dreamed of being two things: a mother and a nurse. I am blessed to have two wonderful children ages 14 and 16 and have had the privilege of being able to be a stay-at-home mom during their younger years. Now that they are older and a bit more independent, I have decided to go back to school and fulfill my goal of earning my degree in Nursing. Throughout the years of growing and maturing, I have learned how important it is to have good morals, values, goals, a passion for something, and a good education. I have not only taught my children the importance of these characteristics, but I have also shown them that regardless of one’s age or stage in life, that…
Fortunately, by the fifth grade my parents were able to rent an apartment nearby our school and had found jobs in multiple Brownsville restaurants. After the move, things became much easier and we were able to have a much simpler life, though we were never able to forget the hardships we experienced and the effort we put into enhancing our lives. Today, I am sure my successes as of now are gratifying my parents as I am in the top 10% of my class, the Co-Captain of the Golden Stars Dance Team, member of the National Honor Society, Piano Club, HOSA, and in TRIO UTRGV talent search program. I attend rigorous AP classes to improve my opportunity to attend a university and have the finest future I can give myself. Although my triumphs may not look like much to most, I can assertively say that the trial of going through difficulty to have a superior future has been overcome with the comfort of focus, strength, and the right set of mind to build a better tomorrow for my family and…
If I am not helping other people reach their dreams, I’m not reaching mine either. I am so strongly devoted to making a difference in as many lives as possible. Furthering my education will put me on my path towards success. My view on success is much more than my personal accomplishments, it’s how much I can help others. I want my life to be the reason someone else’s life is made better. Helping others is what defines…
I’ve been in MHS since my freshman year, I walked into the school knowing A handful of students and now I’m walking out knowing everyone. I have built so many different relationships good/bad ones throughout my four years being here. I’ve experienced my good and bad days here. I’ve had accomplishments and failures. I feel like I matured a lot, not from the school itself but the path I took in this school which is something I hope no other student ever experience. Everything that I know now that I didn’t know my freshman years feels like I taught myself, my learning method has always been in trials and errors before I actually learned from it and progressed and that’s what my four years have been. I had good grades also bad grades throughout school and it wasn’t anything due to my behavior or me not being smart but I can most definitely blame it on my laziness and if I was to really put my mind to it without a doubt I can do the work that’s handed to me. I am a pro at procrastination, which usually leads to me not accomplishing what needed to be done on time, so I just totally gave up on myself and began to walk around with this “I don’t care” mentality. I don’t usually regret things because I obviously went through them for a reason which is to learn from it and I did but I wish I can turn it all around because now I’m sitting here stuck on the edge not knowing if I will be walking on June 6th Thursday afternoon which is a really scary feeling. It’s sad how when the time officially approaches reality begins to kick in when it should have a long time ago. I can sit here and blame myself and not anyone else for everything I brought on…
The red bricks, stacked on top of each other, distract me from realizing where I am going. Looking out the window, the tired teens sigh as the bus advances towards the building. Other large, yellow buses also approach the uneven sidewalk, which leads to the school. Finally exiting the tightly-packed bus, the exhausted teens walk slowly off the bus and onto the sidewalk. Walking within the crowd, each step I take becomes one step closer to the closed doors. These doors are the Gates of Hell. Once you enter, you cannot leave (until 2:14 PM). Inside, at a glance, everything appears to be white. Like a dirty white, or beige. Beige walls, with tape stuck in the crevasses of the bricks to hold up colorful and motivational posters, line the inside. The crowd advances at a slow pace like cars stuck in traffic. The smell of Axe rapidly fills my lungs. Suddenly, more and more brown doors start to appear on the beige walls. New hallways create an intersection. The tiles of the floor look like a heterogeneous mixture of tan, white, and black materials. A glass showcase, displaying the artistic abilities of many students, forms a five second art show. Even further, there’s “Main Street”. Composed of mainly lockers, this is the prime and busiest hallway in the building. Wandering around, I attempt to understand the confusing setup. Clenching onto my florescent orange paper, I discover new hallways branching off of Main Street. Hallways labeled “G Hall East”, “G Hall West”, “F Hall East”, “F Hall West” on wood with white, engraved letters. More brown doors are in these hallways. Each door leads to a different destination, yet each destination looks similar. The same heterogeneous mixture for tiles, the same beige brick walls, the same white boards, the same desks. Regressing to Main Street, I, and other baffled teenagers look like lost puppies as we continue to explore.…

I did 4 years in Senn High School and there were a lot of problems in school. Dropping out of high school is a huge issue for many teens today. As society demands hardworking graduates with good character, the nation should require keeping teens from dropping out of school and improving student’s education for the future. There are many causes for why teenagers drop out of school. But there are few solutions for allowing them to finish high school with high diplomas. Pregnancies, drugs, gang involvement and bullying play a big role in the dropout rate. How can high schools help students to earn their high school diplomas and stop dropping out of school? Many kids attend High schools that have a different culture, or way of doing things.…
After reading this article I thought to myself that this is exactly what high school sounds like it is just a social combat, some people are already on the top and do not have to try and others try to climb to the top but never make and some just stay on the bottom they do not even make an effort to climb. I know that in adolescence us teenager try to find out who we really are and to be able to define ourselves and according to the article high school is one of the hardest places to do that in. But I think that even though people experience social fear because they are sensitive towards what other people think and have the least amount of control I think that high school is beneficial because it prepares you if what is ahead. Because in life you will encounter these things so it is better to have experienced it before hand but the difference between life and high school is that in high school it is really easy to be judged and labeled where as in real life you do not really fear what others think because after high school you find who you really are, you bloom, and you become more confident in yourself and stand for what you truly believe in. So I think that even though high school can be hell sometimes it really prepares us for what is ahead, because life is not fair and we have to learn that the hard way.…

My high school years have been the most transformative years of my entire life. Although many aspects of who I am have essentially remained unchanged, some alterations in the way I behave around others and basic mentality ultimately left me with a completely new persona.…
My life is different today than what it was seven years ago. Seven years ago, I lived in my home country, Bangladesh, and now I am currently live in the United States of America. First of all, In Bangladesh, I was in middle school. Attending middle school wasn’t too hard. It was actually a bit fun. In middle school, I had less homework to do, and it was fairly since I did not have many responsibilities. Now I am in college, attending Macomb community college. I am getting really stressed out and having many types of difficulties. I am struggling to keep good grades and have lots of homework to do daily. I had many friends during my days in high school, but as I attended college, friends grew apart; now I am stuck with just a few. Secondly, I did not have any responsibilities seven years ago. But as an adult, now I have to learn to take care of many responsibilities and give my all to live successfully. I did not know how to even cook at the age of 15, but now I know how to cook pretty much everything. Finally, in Bangladesh, I did not need to drive since everything in my town was close. Living in America, on the other hand, I am forced to have transportation to get around. Therefore, I had to get my license to accomplish each day’s task. Many changes have occurred in the last seven years in my life; however, these changes made me live up and the face world daily.…
K-12 program is composed of Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of junior high school and two years of senior high school). Two years were added to our basic education. The government implemented this because of poor quality of education in the Philippines. President Ninoy Aquino signed the Enhance Basic Education Act of 2013 last May 15,2013.…

It feels like just yesterday I was in high school, without cares just making my portfolio. Now, it’s been a couple years since college and I’m trying to adjust to married life. It’s been about a year or so since I got hitched. I’m getting ready to have my first child, Winter. I hope to have another in a few years. I currently teach fifth grade in a local elementary school. It’s an okay job, the pay is alright it will get me through my bills, after a few more years I should be getting a raise. I talk to my parents a lot now, they are very important to me. My husband and I are trying to decide how to raise our child. I believe the most important value my parents taught me was to always be polite to people because you never know who is watching. I hope my child grows up learning that. I am very in love with my husband, we met at school and we had an instant connection. Both my grandmother and grandfather have died, it was very tough but time heals all wounds. My husband and I live in a little house but we are looking to relocate to somewhere a little bigger, for the children. We go to the Catholic church every sunday and are very involved in church life. My hope for the future is that I raise my kids to be fabulous people and never give up. The three most important things that have happened since high school would be, graduating college, getting married, and now having my child. What I miss most about the “good old days” is just being able to horse around without having to care about bills and work. When I die, I hope everyone remembers me as a nice person who tried her best to do well.…
