High School Freshman Research Paper
Do you think that it is acceptable for freshman to take college courses? Studies indicate that most high school freshman are not mature enough and not mentally prepared for the weight of college on their shoulders. Me personally I couldn't agree more because taking on college classes at a young age is a huge responsibility, so therefore in this essay I will express how I feel about high school freshman taking college classes. Recently in the State of Texas it is now acceptable for high school freshman to take college courses, but studies show that most high school freshman are not prepared to take on that responsibility. Depending on how you like to challenge yourself college courses may or may not be right for you. When you are taking college courses it is very important that you try your best to pass the class because if you fail the class, it could potentially bring down your GPA. Most of the students that are in college are taking classes called “Dual Credit Courses” students need to be cautious when taking these courses because it will affect their high school transcript and could make them ineligible to graduate. According to The University of California Santa Cruz “Going on Academic Probation means that you have not been passing enough courses with at least a C or better…. You need …show more content…

    Freshman 15 Research Paper

    One of the biggest fears of college students is gaining an excessive amount of weight. As most UMass students know, the school’s dining commons are currently ranked second in the United States by the Princeton Review. When I began attending school, the term “Freshman 15” was a common term that was often spoken about amongst my friends. The term “Freshman 15” refers to the amount of weight which is expected to be gained in the first year of college because of the easy access of food. I always looked at the “Freshman 15” as a myth before college. I wanted to learn more about UMass Amherst’s food. I wondered if it could be possible that UMass could be ranked as having one of the best dinning commons in the country and also have healthy…

    The freshman 15 is a real thing and for adolescents heading off to college, they should make sure to be cautious of their eating habits. With 142 million Americans being obese, it has become more of a problem with people of all ages, but college freshman have a history of gaining weight when they arrive at school. People speculate that the behavioral, environmental, and occupational changes cause this, along with stress, exercise habits, and the fact that food is available at all times. No matter what the cause is, gaining weight in college is a real problem.…

    As seasons change, and the school year progresses, many students lose that “first day of school excitement” (I know that I do!) (parenthesis) that they once felt. So how do we regain that joy that once filled us? The answer is simple, year round school. Having school year round will enable students to expand their knowledge, decrease the time during which kids are idle when they tend to get into the most trouble, and reduce the stress levels of both teachers and students.…

    When my parents first expressed to me that I needed to take advanced courses starting freshman year, I was skeptical. I desired an easy, laid-back experience in high school; however, my parents declared otherwise. I began freshman year with three honors classes, and the parental expectation to make at least ninety-five percent in all of my classes. At the time, I thought this to be too extreme, but little did I know that colleges look back on all grades…

    * Destiny, Life and Legacy these three words have so much power behind them than one could imagine. These three words have been made up the web of my life. Destiny is something that is to happen or has happened to particular person or thing, it’s the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible course of events. It’s the power or agency that determines the course of events. We all have a destiny it’s our purpose in life. Not everyone discovers their destiny but those that do are the few lucky ones. Life is what we make it. We…

    Some schools offer programs that allow students to graduate in three years instead of four. Most people who follow this program must take classes in the summer or may not be able to take elective courses. I do not think that this is a good idea because without electives, students will not have a way to take classes that they may enjoy. Also, requiring students to take summer courses is not a good idea because most students have plans during the summer. I do not believe that students should be able to graduate early because it stops students from taking enjoyable classes, students have plans over the summer, and would quickly overload students with work.…

    “Since 9/11, (America’s airport security has) largely been a line of defense ahead of a departure gate to keep dangerous people and dangerous materials off a plane. By Bin Laden’s calculations, its cost $56 billion since 9/11. In one sense, it is worked as planned: No planes have been blown up or hijacked for a decade” (Airport Security Statistics). This quote explains that since 9/11 the airport security’s line of defense has been successful so far in keeping the people and the dangerous materials off the planes. While there are people who think that airport security is too strict, there are others who think that it is just fine the way it is right now. “They check every little thing you bring on to make sure it is not a bomb” (Airport Security Regulations). “Regulations at U.S. airports are not strict, the Bureau of Homeland Security and the T.S.A work very hard to ensure that we are safe when flying” (Airport Security Regulations). Airport security regulations for flying are not too strict. While some may argue that airport security is too strict, it violates our privacy, inconveniences travelers, it is clear that the current rules and regulations are needed for our safety.…

    While students prepare for their grade 12 year they all must go through the process of choosing the correct courses required to get into the program of their desire. It is known that ENG4U is a necessity when it comes to course selection for those applying to university. For some individuals such as myself, this may be seen as an irritating task that we do not excel in and/or ‘need’ for the post secondary education plan we have in mind for ourselves. Even so, I do agree that grade 12 university English be a requirement for all university programs although it may not directly correlate to the program we wish to be a part of.…
