At first I experienced the initial reluctance that everyone faces when presented with a new‚ alien situation; however‚ I was also possessed with an intense

University High School Admissions I’ve attended Pius XI High School for three years now; I still have not found the culture of a catholic whole person education there.

The school activity that I have been most involved in would have to be Marching Band. I’ve done this activity for all 4 years of high school.

Its taught me how to teach others and be comfortable while doing it. At first it was difficult because I was new to playing baritone and the growth that I saw in myself I wanted to to give

Last year‚ I experienced one of the lowest point in my high school career. It is what gave me those two B’s on my transcript.

I grabbed an arbitrary book which had probably sat on my shelf during the whole summer. On the cover‚ it read "Voices and Values: A Reader for Writers by Janet M.Goldstein and Beth Johnson".

The Most Terrifying Experience I have always on mind a trip with my class when I was in high school. Normally‚ when you travel with your class to a foreign country‚ you have fun. But the visit to the concentration camps in Poland was not funny at all. I was just sixteen years old and I didn’t know if I was enough strong in my head but I thought it was a good opportunity to do it. I had already seen movies or pictures from these terrible places. Nevertheless it’s not the same thing when you are
