The Navajo people washed and dried themselves. Then they heard the gods four times on the 12th day. The god appeared before them they carried a rarer buck skin and two ears of corn. The gods put the buck skin down with its head in the west then the two ears faced the east. Then the feather of a white eagle under the yellow eagle feather. Moments later two humans appeared one man one woman.…
When I first arrived at high school, I was extremely nervous. The school was huge and there was not a familiar face in site. Although I was nervous, staff and students did their best to create a positive learning environment. Going into my sophomore year, I received the same positive energy from the staff and my peers. My guidance counselor, Ms. Hunter, helped me to prepare and offered me the opportunity to enroll in…

We are having a Spring break Camp at the Lincoln park Community Center starting April 10th-13th from 9-3pm. I was wondering if you can come out and show our camp kids what the K-9 unit is about.…
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…
Last fall our school board decided to make it mandatory for students to attend school year-round. There were many issues to look at before making this decision. I feel that year round school can both benefit and hurt children. There are many issues that people are for and against for year round schooling. What will happen to kids who have summer jobs or even part time jobs? Employers look for kids who are willing to work during the summer months when there are more activities going on in our community. During the school year students can only work part time and during the summer they are able to work more hours. When school is out during the winter months, things are slower, so business is slow. When this happens, it decreases will decrease…
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.…
I was awarded a wonderful education at Windham High School, but beyond the information I retained, I also learned what is important in life. At first, I thought all that mattered was the clothes you wore, what makeup you had on, and who you were friends with. There is more to life than all that. I love helping others and my induction into the National Honor Society allowed me to do just that, especially in my four service projects I had the opportunity to lead and be a part of. I try to please people and make sure they are always happy and I now know it is most important to give back to the community who gave me so much.…
Currently I am on the Indiana Core 40 high school diploma. I think that I chose this diploma track for myself because I don't really plan a whole lot on going to college. I have had thoughts of going to college and getting a degree in something. Personally I would much rather just go to a trade school and learn what I want to do rather than going to college and having to learn stuff that is oblivious to the career that I pick.…
“Forty five percent of children in America live in low-income families” (Child Poverty 1). The many negative effects a low-income environment causes can greatly impact a child’s life. Keeping these children motivated to be successful and to get out of this negative environment can be difficult. As a Sport Management major, I plan to serve the common good by volunteering my time working with local high school volleyball teams located in Pontiac, Michigan. My goal is to motivate these young women to finish high school and get out of Pontiac.…
Going back to my best year! Sophomore year was the year I had to get myself together and stop acting so amateur, it was the year I start acting like an adult. Therefore It was a great year for me. My sophomore year was not like other teenagers, I had many downfalls, but that didn't stop me from accomplishing my goals. Around this time I wanted to try a sport for the first time, so I tried out for the wrestling team, but they didn't work out so well. Sophomore year I didn't make any new friends, cause I don't like making new friends, it's just too much. My day one friends stayed the same, these are the people who have been through hell and back with me. I didn't learn how to drive my tenth grade year, because I was procrastinating. I was skipping school and getting into…
Being in the honors program would be advantageous to my academic experience. This program is highly prestigious on campus because students must satisfy certain requirements to enroll and stay in the program. With the opportunities offered in the program, it is easy to see why many students would want to take part in it. This program opens many doors and opportunities that otherwise be inaccessible to students. The Honors program will affect students for the rest of their life in a positive way. It will not only affect them in college but after as well. The honors program teaches students much-needed skills and gives them many opportunities t hat many students would and will miss out on because they are not in this program. To me the program…
Throughout my three years at Woonsocket High School, I grew as in individual. Enhanced my sense of the community. Also I have advanced my knowledge basis to prepare myself for the workforce and life outside of school. These are all important things because they taught me what life as an adult might be and taught me a lot. Woonsocket High was a very good environment for me. Sometimes I felt like school was very stressful, but I could I say I saw Woonsocket High School grow as a school, and I’m happy to be apart of the class of 2016.…
