high school
My life is different today than what it was seven years ago. Seven years ago, I lived in my home country, Bangladesh, and now I am currently live in the United States of America. First of all, In Bangladesh, I was in middle school. Attending middle school wasn’t too hard. It was actually a bit fun. In middle school, I had less homework to do, and it was fairly since I did not have many responsibilities. Now I am in college, attending Macomb community college. I am getting really stressed out and having many types of difficulties. I am struggling to keep good grades and have lots of homework to do daily. I had many friends during my days in high school, but as I attended college, friends grew apart; now I am stuck with just a few. Secondly, I did not have any responsibilities seven years ago. But as an adult, now I have to learn to take care of many responsibilities and give my all to live successfully. I did not know how to even cook at the age of 15, but now I know how to cook pretty much everything. Finally, in Bangladesh, I did not need to drive since everything in my town was close. Living in America, on the other hand, I am forced to have transportation to get around. Therefore, I had to get my license to accomplish each day’s task. Many changes have occurred in the last seven years in my life; however, these changes made me live up and the face world daily.

    Personal Narrative: My Life As An Immigrant

    It is an awakening, a revival, and the beginning of a wondrous journey. This was my first day in United States, I felt lonesome and desolate, these emotions were just like a monster that destroyed all my positive thoughts. Language and culture differences made me nervous and frustrated, and also hindered me from being able to integrate into the new environment. I was reticent and apathetic when I first entered school and since I don’t talked a lot, only a few classmates wanted to be close to me. I wanted to have more friends, but I didn’t know what to do so I waited for people to come to me. Apparently later, nobody came up and made friend with me. I realized that waiting was not helpful, stepping up and talking to people could eventually benefited me more than any other things. So I started to open myself to people around me and be affable, communicative, and helpful to them. Gradually, my personality became more outgoing and enthusiastic, some people liked to talk to me and some even wanted to share their ideas, opinions to me. My life is becoming interesting and exciting, everyday I get to know various people and enrich myself by learning from them. My experience of language and culture was just as my social life where I afraid to talk and ask. It was unacquainted in the first time when I asked question to a person in the street. But several times of trying and practicing helped me to be more accessible…

    Perkiomen High School

    The tank tops worn by students at Upper Perkiomen High School should not completely eliminated without spoken reasoning. Listed as the seventh rule in the student handbook, it is stated, “Tank tops, tube tops, halter tops, muscle shirts, and garments with spaghetti straps are not permitted in school” (52). This rule states that students may not wear any top that does not cover their shoulders. My thought process, and many other students, believe this rule is absurd and has no true meaning. Students have never been clarified on why this rule is in place, although we are expected to follow it. Is it because the administrators think possible bra straps are provocative? Is it just plainly because they think shoulders are distracting? Students…

    High School

    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.…

    What High School Is?

    “What High School Is,” is a chapter from a book called Horace’s Compromise: The Dilemma of American High School, and was written by Theodore R. Sizer in 1984. Mr. Sizer starts the chapter out with a story of a typical boy named mark who is in the eleventh grade. In this story the author describes in detail how Mark spends one of his time blocked days in high school. Mr. Sizer feels it is important to analyze how Mark spends his time because he feels it is a reflection, with some degree of variation, of how most high school students spend their time in school. Mr. Sizer argues, “taking subjects” in a systematized, conveyer-belt way is what is what one does in high school (Sizer). He feels that this process is not related to the rhetorical goals of education; however, it is tolerated by most Americans. In addition, Mr. Sizer argues that there is little demand for synthesis of subjects and that courses are too broad and there is just not enough time to cover all the material.…

    Sophomore Year In High School

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: My Move To America

    I still wasn’t able to learn the culture and fit in, and this initial challenge became even harder during high school as the community became bigger and I was still treated as an alien. My father wasn’t able to help me much since he didn’t know about how life worked here either and didn’t have the time and focus to fully keep an eye on how I did in school. Even though he showed me how to succeed in school, it was still significantly different than in Egypt and that is why my challenges increased. I had to embark on this journey of new experiences all alone since I’m the first to go through all these adjustments. It was all up to me to learn from the experiences I went through in high school and my teenage life in America. With all the changes happening in my life as a teenager and as a foreigner in a different country, I didn’t have the motivation to pull the best grades or to be a top student during my high school career. High school was a learning curve for me. Even though I didn’t do well and didn’t go onto a reputable four-year institution, I matured and learned to be successful during high school by failing my standards and learning how serious and demanding it is to lose my chance of becoming successful. Even though differences in the American culture and the system posed plenty of challenges for me, I was very thankful that it was different from my home…

    High School Confidential

    High school in real life is full of surprises, but according to David Denby in his article "High School Confidential," High School in the movies is very predictable. The typical Hollywood "High School Scene" opens with the jock and the cheerleader characters. Blonde and buff, the Jock and the Cheerleader are superficial and proud to proclaim it. They are popular and perky, and always too good to be true. The cheerleader is usually the enemy of the hero or heroine. She is generally rich, blonde, and queen bee of the social circle, with no sense of selflessness. The jock is usually the bully, muscular, good looking and not very smart.(Denby 343) In an essence, the male counterpart of the cheerleader. The Jock and the Cheerleader are almost always the doppleganger of the hero and heroine. The jock and cheerleader stand for everything the hero despises, yet seemingly have everything that the hero is aiming for.…

    Personal Narrative: My Immigration To The United States

    When I first came to the United States my whole life changed completely. I came from a very poor town where basic needs are privileges and even though I didn’t know the language, the culture, and the people. I was not scared about my new life, my new beginning. When my mom and I got here my dad rented a house which was in very bad conditions. At that time we didn’t have anything, we slept on the floor for almost a month, we didn’t have any furniture and not even a car to go buy groceries. My mom was very disappointed because my dad has been living here for almost 10 years and he didn’t have anything yet. Besides all the bad situations, I was very excited because I was here in this powerful country where opportunities everywhere. After couple weeks I asked my dad to do me a big favor which was start the paperwork so I can get into middle school. At first he was mad because he told me that I didn’t need that, I was devastated about his reaction because I really wanted to go, but he refused to take me.

    What Highschool Is

    Theodore R. Sizer in his essay "What High School Is" begins with an illustration, a detailed account of the opening of the day at a high school, following one student named Mark, sixteen years of age, as he arrives at school, greets his friends, and goes to class. This section is a rather dry recitation of his schedule on this particular day, with some vivid descriptions of the classes, the other students, and the different elements of the school day. This entire section runs four and a half pages and serves as the introduction to the entire essay. This is a daring and not entirely satisfactory approach. There is nothing ahead of this description to assure the reader that the entire essay will not consist of this detailing of one student's day, though in fact the essay has something else in mind if it can hold the attention of the reader until the author gets to it. He might have offered some more traditional introductory remarks to indicate that he has a purpose in telling this lengthy story, which would gain him mileage with many, but instead he just launched into it and continues through to the end of the day.…

    They Hurt Me

    They Hurt Me Life is a change without a doubt. People born, grows, changes positively or negatively or both and finally dies. During the lifetime, people are affected by their parents, teachers, schools, friends, social environment, life experiences and so on. Like all people, my life is a change, too. My ideas have changed, my habits are changed, my behavior to the other people have changed. I am sure that they will continue to change throughout all my life. Now, I would like to talk about the negative changes I have gone through since I came to university. When I was preparing for the university exam, I always dreamed about what kind of lifestyle I will have at the university. However, those dreams only consist of guesses because I would not know positive or negative consequences clearly. Today, I am at the university, I have a lifestyle and I think about the changes. I have gone two negative changes through since I came to university. To begin with, the first negative change is about my reading habit. Since I came to university, I lost almost all my reading habit. Firstly, when I was at high school, I used to read approximately two books a week. Now, I am using that time for unnecessary works or activities instead of reading. In high school, I was staying at our high school’s dormitory and dormitory have some rules. We had etudes at dormitory. At etude times, we had to study our lessons or do our homeworks. I already like reading books and dormitory rules were supporting me about it. In addition, I did not have too much tools that takes me away from reading like computer. Since I came to university, some changes in my lifestyle happened. For example, I have a computer belongs to me in my room and I can use it whenever I want without any limit. I prefer spending time on Internet or playing games on my computer instead of reading. Furthermore, I have a lot of freedom in my life, I have a lot of free time. I have realized one of my characteristics that if I have so…

    Highschool Sweetheart

    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.…
