1) Use the 5 mL transfer pipet and the pipet bulb to measure 5.00 mL of the commercial bleach and drop into a 100 mL volumetric flask.…
When preparing for college, create a list of what you'll need. Even if you are attending school close to home, it is much more convenient to have everything with you rather than calling your parents to deliver things. This is even more important if you will be attending a college that is far away.…
Pack only the essentials if you're staying in a dorm. They're not big and don't offer a great deal of organizational space. Write down the essentials on a list, and do not buy extraneous items when doing your shopping. Find some things that can help you with organizing your things.…
There Are No Children Here is a story of the struggles two preteen boys live with while growing up in the projects. From the first pages the scene is set amongst the all too familiar gun fire blazing through the neighborhood. This story is of eleven year old Lafeyette and nine year old Pharoah dealing with the daily fight for survival in inner-city Chicago circa 1987.…

Being organized, this is the most important and first step in surviving college. To aid in being ready you can get daily planners and calendars to keep up with your homework, assignments and classes. At the beginning of every semester your professor gives you a class syllabus which can ease you in keeping track of all due dates and test. Also marking vital information with highlighters and pens in your notes and textbooks can also aid you in being more ordered and to learn key points you’re required to know for future work.…
When I was a freshman, I never expected I would be so stressed out as a junior. As a freshman, a sophomore, and a junior, my body and my mind continued to exert stress. My parents, like other parents, tend to forget that students today, deal with more stress than they did as students. The competition of getting into college, the stress of schoolwork, and the responsibility of managing their time when playing sports can overwhelm me as a high school student.…
High school students typically have mixed feelings of relief and anticipation as their senior year approaches. Many will plan to go to college, or jump right into the workforce, and some will pursue other paths, such as joining the military. Colleges are making it easier for students who are transitioning from high school to college by offering freshman based events, services, and groups (Turner, Thompson 2015). Although, this tends to ease the anxiety that high school graduates have when entering college, students that have the option of completing their senior year, or getting an early start on college have an even heavier choice to make.…
A survey of individuals at the level of executive Vice President of 75 Fortune 500 companies showed that 95% of them played sports in high school. While it might be hard to argue that sports participation could guarantee higher incomes, promotions, and better jobs, the leadership skills and development of teamwork, hard work, and determination might help prepare students to be leaders at work and in their communities later in life.…
I've accomplished quite a bit in the few short years I've been in high school: I’ve participated in the school’s Literary Magazine, helped start a GSA program with a few other friends, taken a number of honors courses, became apart of our Academy of Information Technology, started teaching a dance class for younger children, and quite a bit more. One of the first programs I joined my freshman year was GIR Tech, which is almost like a mentorship program. We provide free, in house, high quality work for the entire district when requested, which may be for a variety of events, including sports events at our stadium, awards ceremonies, political debates, and theatrical productions. We work backstage, at the light and sound boards, as ushers, and…
Students can do many things in order to get ready for high school. They can participate more in class so they can focus and pay attention to what they are learning. Furthermore, students that study regularly can develop a good study habit, which can help them prepare for high school. Also, students that manage can be more organized with time, which can help when given a large amount of homework, due on different dates, in high school. This is how students can get ready for high school.…
Remembering the first thought of school can be quite hilarious. Thinking why do I have to attend school, why even is an education important? However, I began to get a swing of the whole school and education thing. There was preschool, elementary, middle school, and before you know it high school. After high school I realize there is this place called college. I commenced that cycle over again and begin to ask well, “Why is a College Education Important to Me”?…
I have had to master the important things in life, like how to file my taxes, maintain my car, balance a checkbook, and figure out how to pay for college at a young age of 19. My parents have not cared much about my education since middle school. They were always available to sign report cards and talked down to me when I did not make a grade that pleases them, but they weren't there to help me. Stressed out of my mind with test and projects with no support from my parents or family; was on my own when the time came to choose my classes. Whenever I was falling behind or not doing well in a class I had no one to confide in; it was all me. I spent my junior year looking for a SAT prep center and paying for it with my own money. Senior year…
2. The value of a college education can be taken in all different kinds of aspects. (Intro)…
Another benefit of staying in school until students are 18, is because of higher income they will receive in their future careers. In the interview with Missy Remiss, she says, “Those without a high school diploma have lower earnings”. It is showing that the majority of the time, students who have not graduated high school and have not earned a diploma make very low earnings. Also in a graph, researched and made by the U.S. Department of Education, it shows how high school dropouts make about 7,840 dollars less than students who graduate and get their diploma. High school graduates will, in the long run, make a lot more money than those who do not graduate. Lastly, students who stay in school have more social benefits.…
