Junior High My Junior High years were filled with ups and downs. Now I don’t remember much from my junior high years‚ but I do remember my first homecoming dance in my seventh grade. I also remember when I first joined band in sixth grade. Ever since sixth grade I could not separate myself from band. Band is my home away from home and I hold it fondly in my heart. Another memory from band is my first parade. Through my junior high life‚ I slowly gained confidence especially after I picked up a trumpet

The high ground is an all important strategic position in war fare‚ it is also important in debate. In debate‚ there is no physical high-ground but there is the moral high-ground. It is the position of truth and justice. It may not always be the position which makes the most people happy or creates the most wealth but it is the right-position.

It may be hard for some of us to let go‚ but in the end we have to move on. It was a great three years‚ but now we are stronger‚ independent adolescents ready to start a new chapter.

High-Stakes Testing High Stakes testing is a highly debated topic in the education field today. The goals that it seeks are widely criticized yet also praised by the public‚ mainly the government. The article which I read‚ entitled‚ “Issues in High-Stakes Testing Programs” by‚ Anthony E. Kelly and Finbar C. Sloane‚ touched upon the various pros and cons of the required state testing.

High School Drop-outs Dropping out of high school is an issue faced by too many teens today. It comes from a few common causes. The first reason kids drop out is often a lack of involvement in extra-curricular activities. Another reason kids drop out revolves around the parents not being forceful in demanding that their children commit to staying in school.

highly paid? Nowadays‚ many people criticise entertainers’ high salaries because they are giving less but gaining more. However‚ in my opinion‚ it is unreasonable to justify one’s income only by the amount of work they do. I strongly believe that stars are never overpaid but people in other area are actually underpaid. The majority of entertainers suffer from different types of pressure that ordinary people cannot bear. Thus a high salary should be paid to compensate for the stress. Firstly‚
