learned very soon after starting my freshmen year at Hixson High School that this was a school that wants to see achievers and believers walk across the stage at graduation and enter into the world around. Through the teachers encouraging me to push myself to do the very best I could possibly due‚ the multiple organizations and clubs available‚ and this inner spark that drives me to achieve greatness‚ I quickly became involved around the school. I am currently the National Honor Society Secretary‚ Senior

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 I often worked. Then the phone calls started‚ and before

Life was going good for me‚ I was about to enter into high school. I was looking forward to doing high school sports and to compete at a higher level. But one day that all went down hill. October 14th 2011 was my last football game i played my freshman year. I was tackled and landed in an odd position‚ in doing so i broke my ankle. This was just the start of my misery in high school. After i got off of breaking my ankle on February 4th 2012 i ended up tearing my meniscus in a wrestling match. This

As an eighth grader going into high school‚ I was very scared. I was afraid that I was going to dislike my classes and they would be hard. I thought that the transition from middle school to high school would be terrifying. But I was wrong‚ my first quarter of high school turned out to be a lot different than I thought it would be. When I first found out what classes I would be taking in ninth grade‚ I was worried that I would not do well in them. I was not good at math‚ so Algebra one made me nervous

I threw my books on the bed and approached the jacket slowly‚ as if it were a long lost brother who I had been dreaming about meeting. I touched the smooth leather sleeve‚ the popped collar‚ and stared at the brown leather lining in disbelief. My mom’s voice echos through the house‚ “Your jackets in the closet” My heart sinks as my mother’s words process in my brain and as I slowly walk to the closet where soon I’ll find the jacket that actually belongs to me. I rummaged through the small space hoping

Since then‚ I always wonder what goes on in space while I am down here. My curiosity followed me all the way to high school. As soon as I entered high school‚ I could not help but remember thinking “Astronomy was the first class I was going to take.” that was not the case. My school did not even offer Spanish

My junior year in high school I took two classes from teachers who gave immense amounts of work on difficult material. The classes were Honors Pre-Calculus and Advanced Biological Studies II. After a day at school and a demanding golf practice until dark‚ it was time to start my homework. By then I was already exhausted‚ but I still had hours of homework ahead of me. Most schools nights I would not be able to start my hefty pile of homework until 8 o’clock. Many nights the strenuous assignments given

“East High is a place where teachers encouraged us to break the status quo and define ourselves as we choose. Where a jock can cook up a mean crème brûlée‚ and a brainiac can break it down on the dance floor. It’s a place where one person‚ if it’s the right person‚ changes us all. East High is having friends we’ll keep for the rest of our lives‚ and that means we really are ’all in this together’. Once a Wildcat‚ always a Wildcat!” Troy Bolton.

I was a part of the Newnan High School Marching Band my tenth‚ eleventh‚ and twelfth grade year. It was a great experience. The Newnan High School Band became like a second family‚ and the band room was my home away from home. As it got closer to my senior year‚ I started wondering who was going to get the title of clarinet section leader my last year of marching band. I felt like I would be the one for the job. When they finally informed us that leadership applications were available‚ I was excited
