High school dropouts -- a growing problem in our society‚ or is it? After hearing about dropouts heading back to school to receive a diploma on the local news‚ I often wonder what they were missing out on. I mean‚ does a dropout really need to head back only to solve a quadratic equation or to write an five paragraph essay on The American Revolution? I’m willing to bet that more than half of parents who’ve graduated from high school don’t even know how to solve a quadratic equation or how The American

I also started getting adjusted in my community and making new in church. I attended prayers every evening and helped in cleaning of church every weekend. While at my community church‚ I noticed that many students in my community were culturally different

Freshman year of high school was an exciting and nerve wrecking time. The first week of school I stuck close to my friend from middle school. We had hung out over the summer nonstop and were extremely close. That first week we did not see each other much during the school day. All our classes seemed to be different except our lunch periods. This friend was someone I trusted and let influence me‚ for better or worse. It was not until a couple months into the school year that I realized how my friend was

picture "high school". Cheerleaders‚ proms‚ report cards‚ football games. We all remember the A honor roll students‚ and how much time they spent studying. The thing that I have always questioned is‚ do children that come from lower status families do worse in school than ones from higher status families? I noticed as early as middle school that the ones who weren’t as secure financially tended to study less than the ones whose families were well off. This bothered me to a point‚ for my family wasn’t

I quickly realized that I have finally accomplished my biggest goal. I have been dreaming about running on that track since I was a freshman in high school. Being a senior‚ I aimed to run my last race of my high school career at outdoor state. Coach Bell would say to me‚ “Walterhouse‚ I can’t wait to watch you run at state.” “Coach‚ I can’t wait either.” I would say in a reassuring tone. I could feel the pressures and expectations lying on my shoulders like an elephant‚ but I knew I had the means

Football‚ to me‚ is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school. When I joined the team senior year‚ I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work‚ nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season. See‚ football is more of a mental
