What Should I Be Paid Before School?
Before school started I had a few worries that seemed to fade throughout the school year. The first worry I had was will I find my way around, but my worry faded away because I know where my classes are. My evidence is that I have been to my classes so many times I remember where all my classes are. The second worry I had was will I get along with my classmates, but my worry faded away because I had no problems with my classmates. My evidence is that when I met them they were all nice and kind to me. The third and final worry is what will my classmates think of me, but my worry faded away because

    I dreaded the alarm that woke me up at 6:30 in the morning. It was as loud as a screaming toddler that could be heard for miles. I groggily got out of bed and got ready for my first day of school. It was a weird feeling not putting on a uniform like I had been for the past nine years, but I also enjoyed that freedom. The nervousness became more and more intense as I could closer and closer to campus. When we arrived, I got out of the car, and watched my dad drive off to go take my younger sister to school. There was no going back now; I had no other choice than to walk through those doors. I felt like my throat was in my stomach. I noticed some familiar faces, and I walked towards them. While I was approaching my friends, a senior, facing toward me, walked passed. He must have been at least six feet tall, which was incredibly intimidating for me at just over five feet. I was not used to the fact that I’d potentially have classes with these giants. Additionally, the array of new teachers, and having to learn all of their teaching styles and things they did or did not tolerate was hard in…

    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…

    I could feel from day one that a fast-flowing river of anxiety had gushed over my head. Standardized test such as the SAT’s, ACT’s, and AP exams, college pressure, the endless speeches from my teachers and principals about the importance of academics and career searching was now added to my agenda. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, and my stress level continued to grow. I became extremely engrossed and focused on my school work, and it consumed my time to a point where my parents became very concerned for my health. I was staying up late studying and finishing my homework for the next day, sometimes into the early hour of the morning because I would work ahead in classes before finishing my essential studies for the next day. I found myself on several occasions starting to fall asleep in my second period physics class because I had not gotten a good night’s sleep. There were some nights where I would not even see my dad…

    Since Jack stood up for me, I’ve regained my confidence. Nancy invites me over during the week and helps me learn to be more carefree and how to open up to others. Nancy was vehement while teaching me and was hoping I could start to fit in. Mr. Addams continues to tutor me after school and my grades have been gradually increasing. My classmates have also started to accept that I’m different and I’ll never be like them, but being different shouldn’t affect how I’m seen by everyone. I started to make small conversations with classmates rather than holding back my thoughts and others have seen my looks may be different than theirs but they could still be friends with me rather than judge my mistakes and the way I talk. I’ve had less stress since…

    As a teenager and growing student, many people are faced with the fears of failure; Mine was evidently school. Growing throughout elementary and middle school up to about 8th grade I was always told I had potential. I always did decent in school, you know typical smart kid who doesn't put forth 100% effort all the time unless deemed necessary or interested. But up till I got to high school and grew older I began being faced with harder and way more challenging tasks inside the classroom. School was no longer a place I could cruise through and still be on top. I began developing fears of not being good enough for my parents expectations and even my own expectations. The heavier and harder the workload became,…

    High school students today deal with overloaded schedules, hours of homework, and heightened academic and extracurricular expectations. These demands leave students overstressed and with no time to themselves to relax or reflect. A typical day can find a student waking up at 6:30 to rush to school for a club meeting, followed by a typical school day, sports practice until 6:30, SAT prep class until 8:30, then home to eat dinner, shower, do homework, and finally fall into bed exhausted. High school students feel too much pressure to be overachievers and be involved in every extracurricular so that it will “look good” on their transcript. Trying to balance participation in extracurricular activities while preparing for SAT’s and college admissions decreases the time that students need to develop their own specific interests and mature. Thus, American high school students are less and less ready…

    Like the way I made friends, 5th grade also went by with a breeze. By the end of 5th grade, I actually had more friends than my goal for the 5th grade. But I was stuck in between two different groups. One group was a group of poc girls that were all just like me (personality-wise). The other group were all Asian girls and they were only a bit like me. So when 6th grade rolled around, I decided to stick with the group that was all Asian. That is where I made the mistake that will lead my anxiety to…

    The pressures of being in a new environment, being away from home and their families as well as the stress and pressure of wanting to do well in college can overwhelm most students. As well as having to take responsibility for themselves and learning to live on their own. Anxiety disorders are becoming more common in students attending universities and college. They involve changes in mood, thinking, behavior and the physiological process. It is important to remember that with help anxiety disorders are treatable and that students can learn alternative ways of coping with anxiety. It is usually not very helpful to pretend that anxiety will simply go away on its own. It takes time, but learning to juggle school, work, and a social life will become easier as time goes on. Students can easily get anxious trying to juggle school, work, friends, and family while trying to figure out the rest of their lives. But learning to ask for help and being able to manage your time in an effective way can help reduce the amount of anxiety the students have and the possibility of developing an anxiety disorder from…

    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…

    Do you remember the first day of Middle School? When you stepped onto campus, and noticed how big this school was, looking for faces you recognized. And when you did, you ran up to them and talked to them like they were the most important person in the world, so you wouldn’t feel so awkward. You told them how nervous and happy you were. Here we are, three years later. Sitting in our dresses and whatever, knowing that in two months, we'll be doing the same thing at a different school. And if you look around in your seats, you'll notice that these are the people you've spent almost every day with, knowing that you wont be seeing all of the same faces next year. Faces that you may have just met this year. And faces that you will remember for the rest of your lives.…

    In the first year of college, I had to face many new things. I felt nervous and a little excited. I thought, “ it’s my first semester of college in America, try being open-minded.” I imagined many bad and good situations, and how to deal with them because I thought it would relieve my perturbation, but it was not. I was getting more afraid and more nervous. I kept struggling with those thoughts for a whole first semester. Walking through the class’s door, with people speaking a new language, I saw people greeting, talking, having fun… They looked excited and happy. In opposition, I sat alone in the…
