High School
I’ve been in MHS since my freshman year, I walked into the school knowing A handful of students and now I’m walking out knowing everyone. I have built so many different relationships good/bad ones throughout my four years being here. I’ve experienced my good and bad days here. I’ve had accomplishments and failures. I feel like I matured a lot, not from the school itself but the path I took in this school which is something I hope no other student ever experience. Everything that I know now that I didn’t know my freshman years feels like I taught myself, my learning method has always been in trials and errors before I actually learned from it and progressed and that’s what my four years have been. I had good grades also bad grades throughout school and it wasn’t anything due to my behavior or me not being smart but I can most definitely blame it on my laziness and if I was to really put my mind to it without a doubt I can do the work that’s handed to me. I am a pro at procrastination, which usually leads to me not accomplishing what needed to be done on time, so I just totally gave up on myself and began to walk around with this “I don’t care” mentality. I don’t usually regret things because I obviously went through them for a reason which is to learn from it and I did but I wish I can turn it all around because now I’m sitting here stuck on the edge not knowing if I will be walking on June 6th Thursday afternoon which is a really scary feeling. It’s sad how when the time officially approaches reality begins to kick in when it should have a long time ago. I can sit here and blame myself and not anyone else for everything I brought on

    Throughout my life, I experienced many events that would make most people unable to function socially, emotionally, or academically. These events include two divorces, five house relocations, and a transfer to a new high school during senior year. I consistently failed assignments and could not stay focused during class as my . Most teenagers would have given up here as the disappointment from both their parents and teachers would have destroyed their hopes for a successful future. However, this anguish became a catalyst for what would become a significant restructuring in both my demeanor towards schoolwork and my perspective on the future. Against all odds I was able to bounce back from the discouragement I had faced. I believe that this…

    Brave New World warns of the dangers of giving the state control over new and powerful technologies. One illustration of this theme is the rigid control of reproduction through technological and medical intervention, including the surgical removal of ovaries, the Bokanovsky Process, and hypnopaedic conditioning. Another is the creation of complicated entertainment machines that generate both harmless leisure and the high levels of consumption and production that are the basis of the World State’s stability. Soma is a third example of the kind of medical, biological, and psychological technologies that Brave New World criticizes most sharply.…

    High school is a different experience for everyone. The first three years really blend together and do not seem important, but senior year is completely different. Freshman year was full of confusion, learning an array of new things. Sophomore year was where life started to get fun and you “belonged” in the high school. Junior year was where you see the little light at the end of the tunnel, but it was filled with anxiety and frustration. Senior year is where it all becomes worth it and the rest of your life is finally going to begin.…

    When I was in high school I wasn't a very good student, I didn't really apply myself to anything. I had no dreams of going to college or doing anything special with my life. No one had ever encouraged me to do anything better than I was or to try harder. My parents were not college graduates, they both worked full time jobs and had to raise four kids. I knew there wasn't enough money to send me to college, and my guidance counselor never explained financial aid to me. I graduated, got a job and worked one dead end job after another, until I got married and started a family. I spent the next fifteen years raising my son and daughter and encouraging them to continue their education after high school. About a year ago my husband decided he wanted a divorce, and I was left wondering ;"What am I going to do now?" Since graduation I have always regretted not going to college, I have always wanted to work with children, either as a counselor or in social work. My parents suggested that I should go back to school. I applied at Ashford University. I have always thought of myself as a failure, but I'm not scared of failing anymore, I am however afraid of letting myself down for not trying hard enough,and for me that just isn't good enough anymore. I want more for myself and I want to look in the mirror everyday and be proud of who I see. I know that if I apply myself and stay focused and motivated that I will achieve my goals to graudate and pursue my dreams.…

    I started my first year of college with my life prearranged. I had a ridiculous notion that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs, do lots of research, make the dean’s list, make my parents proud and attend as many parties as I could. However, now when I look back, I realized that I was too comfortable in my life. I thought I was ready to overcome every obstacle that was thrust upon me but I was sadly mistaken. College was a culture shock. I concluded that college is an entirely different universe, then high school. My GPA dropped for the first time in my life from a 3.7 in high school to a 2.8. The decline in my GPA made me realize that my journey to becoming a doctor is not always going to be easy. It made me hunger to go to medical school even more, to overcome the academic and emotional hurdles, and…

    At this point I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life after college and I didn’t even know what college I wanted to go to. I did not like the feeling of not knowing what I wanted to do as a career. It would eat at me, so I decided to just hide it away deep down until it would find its way out eventually with the right answer a year and a half later. My classes were consisting of required courses that I had no care for. Back when I was a sophomore, we were required to take chemistry in order to complete high school. My chemistry teacher was the worst. He did not care about my assignments enough to actually take his time and read through them and give me an accurate score on my assignments and tests. No matter how hard or little I tried, he would always give me a score of a D or C, Teachers like him are what cause the students to have this thought of, “No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to better myself, I am worthless in their eyes.”. That’s the message I received when I was handed a sixty percent for my semester grade in that class. That teacher didn’t care about me, he didn’t want to waste his precious time on me. Teachers like him are like the diseases in the education…

    High school has been an unyielding path. These four years of my high school career have had some positive and even some negative conflicts. Initially, I was very naive and I did not put much effort into school. My grades had dropped at a point where I was having some difficulty to bring them back up, mainly because I was never too strong in subjects such as math or English. But that was an issue that I had to face by worrying less and concentrating more. However, throughout these four years of high school I have improved my ability to learn and also have identified the creative and thoughtful side of me and with these skills I have given back to my community by making it cleaner and more efficient for the next generation. Thankfully, with…

    My sophomore year, 2015-2016 was a very confusing time for me. This was when I performed the worst academically, and professionally due to multiple reasons. This period of my life was a time when I was all about the “party life”. During this time, I put my social life and fitting in ahead of me. I was doing drugs, lied to my parents constantly, and had no focus in anything else other than having fun. Many things came with this though, I completely underperformed in school, I got multiple C’s, and F’s for midterms and finals. I was also an unruly student, I would always disrupt my teacher, and my fellow classmates. My part time job then at Hannaford I was extremely indolent, I slacked off constantly, and did the bare minimum of what was expected out of me. I had lost sight of what was most important to me and I completely regret it to this day because with that year, came many repercussions. My attitude then was a roadblock to my future, but I took it upon myself to improve my junior and senior year.…

    It's happens all the time. High School Sweethearts go off to college. Usually, they go off to different colleges and that ends it pretty quickly. But what happens when they actually go to the same college and see each other every day? It may be more difficult to break it off, but as people grow and mature, especially at that age, they tend to go their separate ways. And that's OK. It's almost expected. There are occasions where they stay together and live happily ever after, but that's not the norm. For young couples in this situation, the important thing is not to focus so much on the ever after and enjoy the time spent together today, in the present. Don’t rush into marriage too quickly.…

    The two works of art that I chose are: Prayer for Rain (1938) by James E. Allen and Battle between Hercules and Centaurs (1526-27) by Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio. In our text iconography is the practice of understanding symbolism in art and is one aspect of visual literacy. When one can understand visual literacy and the roles of the artist, then this will deepen their appreciation of art. Artists usually emulate their own feelings and emotions onto their artwork.…
