dated slurs were still regularly used‚ school was definitely still practicing segregation in the same classrooms. [I]Coloreds[/I] sat in the back. But I was light complexion‚ loose curly hair. As far as I was concerned I was [I]mixed[/I]. so unless I opened up my mouth and said something they thought I was white and I sat with the white kids. I was told to keep my mouth shut cause I wasn’t supposed to be in the school anyway‚ as it wasn’t my neighborhood school. So I never corrected anyone and white

In my previous Academic History I went to Cape May County Technical High School. Throughout my high school career I was a very contentious student. I study very hard and put a lot of effort into my school work. In high school I really enjoyed getting involved. My Sophomore year I managed the swim team which I continued to do until I graduated. My Junior year is where I found my love for cross country. I ran both my junior and senior year and it really helped me mentally and taught me that anything

should once again be thuaght in school‚ others think it shouldnt. I believe that cursive should not be in froced on the students. I do not use cursive and many others do not as well. Most handwritting is not in cursive‚ so theirfor I believe we do not need cursive. When I was younger I was tought cursive in the fourth grade but I did not understand and didnt not learn it. Cursive dose not make a child smart‚ and dose not need cursive for many things in life. In high school most teachers want the students

A time I experienced failure was during last year’s school volleyball season‚ when I was a junior. I had worked hard throughout the season and towards the end of the season it all went downhill. It started with my coach talking to me about swinging down to JV‚ this had happened a little over half way through the season. He said it was a good opportunity to play more‚ I saw it more as an insult since I had been full on varsity up until then. I had worked my butt off to earn my spot and in my heart

good in school‚ being involved in the community and of course going to college to break the cycle in which we lived. At a young age‚ I never really gave much thought to what they said or even thought about growing up‚ especially not in the community in which I was raised. I am originally from a very small town in the Central Valley. Our population consist of over 90% Latinos and agriculture workers from low economic backgrounds.

Everyone at some point has to go to middle school. For me i went from Maiden Elementary to Maiden Middle. Let me tell you it wasn’t all fun and games. Anyone who says different is most likely lying through their teeth. I got out of the car on the first day and i was nervous. I had no idea what would happen when i got inside. I didn’t know where i would go once i got inside. When i walked in they told us to go to the gym. When i got in the gym there were tons of new faces seventh and eighth graders

I awake before the sun. When I rise‚ I am greeted by the comforting darkness of the night‚ lulling me back to sleep. I engage in the daily brawl against my bed‚ struggling to get up. After a rough victory‚ I get out and start my day. I reach school by 8:00‚ where I spend the next 7 hours listening to the droning of teachers‚ laboring over assignments‚ and killing trees by taking pages of notes. Now‚ this scenario is not uncommon among most students. The average profile of several students shows that

Driving to school has been tough because most kids at my school dont know how to properly drive within the lines and park straight‚ so dodging a bunch of reckless rednecks in trucks and preppy girls in smart cars is a struggle. It’s not getting to school that’s the problem for me it’s the leaving at the end of the day with the other 1‚700 kids that drive. Our school population is about 2‚400 something and the more kids that decided to try for a parking permit is only making traffic worse. One evening

School spirit is what can make or break a school. Who wouldn’t want to go to a school that gets excited about all the things their school does? Everybody wants to go to the school that is excited about their sports and their theatre and their preforming arts and their academics and their clubs. Everybody wants to go to the school that has hype Friday night games. Blue Valley West is one of the best schools about school spirit and school pride. People get excited about the football games even when

decided to drop out of High School. I reassure myself that working was more important at the time than sitting in a classroom for eight hours. As years went by I needed to find myself a better paying job but I had one problem and that was not having an education. After working under the table for so long I knew I needed to move up in life. I wanted a better paying job. I put applications in everywhere but nobody wanted to hire someone without having either a GED or High school diploma. I knew I had to
