My high school experience would not have been complete without swimming. I have been swimming since the age of 9‚ and I have learned many valuable lessons from this activity. I tried numerous sports from a young age‚ and found that swimming was the single sport that I excelled in‚ but not without hard work. As high school progressed‚ I continued to swim and to make important relationships with the swimmers on the team‚ and the coach. During my senior swim season‚ the team voted on a captain and I

AN EXAMPLE OF A HIGH SCHOOL SALUTATORY ADDRESS Welcome all family members‚ faculty‚ staff‚ distinguished guests‚ and most importantly‚ my fellow graduates. When I was asked to write a graduation speech for an audience of over 5‚000 people‚ I immediately made up my mind not to do it. When tag-teamed by a collection of teachers and faculty members‚ I asked‚ seriously‚ "What happens if I just don’t do it?" Dropping out of school crossed my mind‚ as did asking all of my teachers to fail me. You see

We all seem to think of the same things when we 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

As time passed‚ I slowly learned to adjust in the western society. In school I did make few friends but some still hated me. I started to build confidence again in myself and started recognizing the social struggles minorities were facing when it came to diversity in high school. 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

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

The hair style of high school students has been a controversial issue for many years. The prescribed plain short hair may look tidy‚ but the insistence on the hair length below the ear lobe in the case of girl students‚ which is fixed at one centimeter or at most two‚ is quite unnecessary. Until recently‚ the Mayor of Tainan had tried to persuade the Ministry of Education to give the high schoolers the carte blanche to determine their own hair styles. It is difficult for us to say if the idea is

we take a step forward and move on from Middle School and transition to high school. 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. These last three years can be compared to something I love to do outside of school. Many people play sports in school‚ and I’m one of them. The sport in which compares to my Middle School experience is no other than Swimming. From the

Extending High School. I don’t think high school should be extended to five years. Many students can barely make it past the first couple years. If high school is extended‚ then there will be an increase in the number of student dropouts. There will be a decrease in the number of high school graduates. Many students don’t like school‚ so an additional year may just be too much. Eventually‚ they will decide to drop out. More conflict will arise for those students who do not get along well with
