Senior Year Reflection
Senior year was my most arduous year through high school; it demanded complete focus, dedication, and most importantly, my time. I was taking advanced classes such as: Calculus, Physics, and College Level English. It was challenging for me to fulfill my duties as a National Honor Society President, and at the same time, trying to excel in these classes in order to maintain my academic standard. It was difficult because I was ranked number one for our senior class of 2015, and I needed to maintain that rank as there were other bright and smart students in our class. However, I set goals for myself throughout the school year and strategically planned it so that I had my priorities in line. Careful planning, together with the support and help

    I went to St. Michael School from Kindergarten through Eighth grade, so when it came time to leave for high school, I was not excited for the change. St. Michael was especially small in regards to student population. We had just under three hundred students split between all nine grades. That left roughly twenty to thirty kids per class. I was extremely used too this small environment and not exactly looking forward to the terrors of high school towering over me nor the thought of being lost in the sea of students. Over the years I was extremely imbedded in my academics. I had straight A’s for my entire time at St. Michael. I received the academic achievement award at Eighth grade promotion for having the highest GPA in my class. Despite this, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to live up…

    “I can’t wait to be a senior” was something I would say whenever I walked into my anatomy class full of seniors who did nothing at all but every time I would Jesslyn would stop me, cock her eyebrow, make a ‘you are kidding me right?’ face and say “be careful what you wish for” and I’m now understanding what she meant. Learning responsibility, independence, and how to deal with stress is the most difficult for me coming into senior year.…

    Senior year is like listening to a broken radio that repeats the same phrase over and over again. As an incoming freshman in college, we are still unable to throw this broken radio out. We've been forced to listen to the phrase "How are you going be successful in college?" I believe that everyone has a different definition of being successful in college. For me, being successful in college is keeping up with my grades and living my life to the fullest.…

    While at Albany, I have high hopes and expectations out of my college education. My focus is to succeed academically. I plan on getting my bachelors in nursing and later on pursuing a master’s degree to become a Nurse Practitioner. I expect the courses that I take to not only develop my knowledge but to also strengthen what I already have. Many people do not succeed in college because a lack of resources or they are not taking advantage of the resources that are given to them. Being a part of the Honors Program, I plan to take advantage of every single resource, to make sure that I never fall behind or start slacking on any of my college work. While in high school I was an honors student in 9th-12th grade. Although it was high school, the work came…

    During my freshman year of high school, I didn’t even know what the Student Government was. I had no idea that, three years later I would be elected as the first one year SGA President (this means I was only in SGA for one year before becoming president, previous presidents have had two years of experience). I started off high school lost and afraid of the world in front of me. Like many students, I struggled to keep myself together mentally and physically. I didn’t really know what I liked or what really interested me. It wasn’t until my junior year that I found something that I connected with. I’ve always been in love with my school and its spirit. Every year I would go all out for spirit week, and I was that one kid that stood out from everyone…

    When I began my senior year of high school, I was tired and unmotivated and chose to give up and not put my full effort into all my school work. I was so excited, my last year of high school. I was always told since I was a freshman that your junior year would be the hardest and the most important because those are the grades that colleges will mostly be looking at and that your senior year would be the easiest because you're mostly taking electives and you only need to focus on you main courses such as economics and english to graduate. When I started school this year I put off all my homework till last minute, I was absent more than usual, my work was sloppy, and I wasn't really participating. I kept thinking that all I need is a 65 in…

    There is only a history of this controversy as long as video games have been around, but shorter than that because in videogames early years there were almost no violence in most of the games. Like pong for example you would only hit a ball back and forth, sounds boring right but in actuality it were so popular in its day then something better replaced it (glazer, 2). A never ending sequence where video games will only advance as time goes on. This is an arguable issue because of the belief that video games are bad for you but, there was and is no proof that video games are bad for you. This has been an issue for about as long as the N64 has been around.…

    This book has easily become one of the top books I have read as a Liberty University student since the principles that it includes are extremely applicable. Immediately after I had read about “The Law of the Learner,” I repented of how I used to think. Because I was lazy, I would put the blame on the student if he or she were failing, rather than striving to work harder and learn different ways I could create learners. However, after reading Wilkinson’s writings and stories, I desired to be a teacher who would not tolerate students who are not paying attention. Namely, I would do whatever it takes to have students learn, rather than blaming them for not learning. In addition, while I read “The Law of Expectations,” I reminisced of a student pastor actively…

    There are several goals I have set for myself in college; I aspire to make the dean's-list in all the years I attend college, I anticipate participating in a minimum of two organizations which can get me more absorbed in the community, and finally, I want to become involved with the student body, and attend as many school sponsored events as I can. In my junior year, when I heard I made the honor roll at my high school, I was overcome with a feeling of fulfillment. This was the first time I had made the honor roll and with this achievement was a feeling of pride for the work I put in, and for the way the work reflected in my grades. But, I stayed hungry and kept working to maintain this honor, and I finished on the honor role for the entirety…

    The senioritis problem which revolved around my senior year of high school was a growing one that I did not take note of until I had a major problem on my hands. My senior year started off amazing. It had everything any high school senior would want it to have. The beginning of the school year meant the start of the season for Friday night lights, excessive amounts of school spirit, and bonfires. School was fun, with me thinking very little about the actual academic part of it. My weekday mind was constantly scanning through ideas about what the weekend might hold, or what sporting event I would be attending that night, or the afterschool gym session. The list goes on and on. Autumn and the start of school also meant the sport of archery hunting and the great outdoors for me. I am an avid outdoorsman and love spending my falls in the woods enjoying nature and the changing landscapes. The start of fall and school also meant having the mind of a typical teenage boy. I was thinking about girls and events such as the homecoming dance were constantly flowing through my mind as well. Hunting and being a guy adds just yet more to the list of things that takes up what I think about in my mind. All these things going through my mind at the time…
