Tall bleachers filled with people surrounded and hovered over the field like a vulture over it’s dead prey. Prior to this race‚ I had only ran one high school race‚ a 3k. Even though I had trained all summer long‚ my hamstring problems that had started a while ago‚ we’re just then beginning to clear up. This meet

4 day school week pro’s final draft Jincy Who wouldn’t want a four day school week? This would be really beneficial. In my opinion a four days of school each week sounds good. First of all‚ a four day school week can lead to more family time and activities. Usually when we have a 5 day school week‚ we don’t get to spend a lot of time with our families. Or we don’t get to do other activities we would like to do. So this idea would make the time for that. We can also

college night classes…I purchased and began carrying a gun after [taking firearms training] sponsored by the local [police department]. It may seem odd now‚ but at the time many girls [at our school] carried guns everywhere‚ including in classrooms. How much things have changed. Fast forward a few years to my full-time job after college. I worked for a CEO and had a glass office next to his. I never thought about how easy it would be for someone to watch me through those windows on the late nights

Sitting at the living room table I began to do my homework‚ which instantly started the wrestling match between letters and my mind‚ consequently setting off my short fuse when it came to reading. I sat there balling while my parents were nearby in the kitchen. This was not a new occurrence‚ it had begun to be a regular happening by the time I was in second grade. I couldn’t come up with words for things‚ or I would blend parts of two different words together making a completely different word. I

let you engage in this topic that I never get tired of talking about... which is my high school life. Many people‚ including myself - agree that high school is one of life’s craziest and most unforgettable chapters. It is where one would begin to cross the boundary between childhood and adulthood‚ and where many phases of learning occur‚ not only in school but in real life as well. I spent four years in high school‚ and I can say that each year has its own story to tell‚ and is special in their

the transition from elementary school to middle school was hard. All I wanted was to be accepted by everyone else because I believed that that was the only way to make friends. I tried to change into the person I thought the other students wanted me to be‚ instead of having them accept me for who I was. As the year went by‚ my self confidence got smaller and smaller. This was caused by focusing too much on what the “right” clothes‚ hairstyles‚ and shoes to wear were. My definition of “right” was completely

“Should schools have a shorter school day?” Imagine going to school at 8 AM and coming home at 2 PM‚ that would be the life. People have their opinions about school being too long or too short. In my opinion I enjoy school‚ but there’s only so much before I crack. I feel if we lower the time at school‚ kids can go home get their homework and studying done and still have time to do other things during the day. First‚ Student works longer than adults do. Students have 7 plus hours of school and come

In my town’s Little League‚ everyone gets a trophy and a high five from the coach. When I decided to try out for my high school’s baseball team‚ I had the mindset of Little League: you show up and you play. I arrived at tryouts wearing my school baseball hat. I hadn’t trained over the winter‚ but because sports are relatively non-competitive at my school‚ I felt confident I would make the team. On the last day of tryouts‚ my coach called my name. “I don’t have room for you on my team‚” he said.
