Introduction
My Sophomore year in Trinity Catholic was full of fun, stress, yet very enjoyable. This year was filled with great memories with friends, fun adventures with friends, and a great learning experience. This year marked a great leap for my education. This year I took classes that I liked and also had teachers that I liked. This year, I made great memories in and out of school, with friends of old and new (Matt Garrido, Adrian, Liam, Kevin, Daniel, Alejandro, Chris Bode, Bilal, Tyler, Twisted, Andres, Zalio, Syerra, Alexandra, Alexandra, Charlene, Julian, Ian, and many many more). I would describe my sophomore year almost like a movie. Old classics like Fasts Time at Richmond High and Dazed and Confused. My Sophomore year wasn't exactly

Throughout my school life English class wasn't always my favorite, however, this year really change my love for English class. In the beginning of the year, I wasn't interested or even liked English class. It was filled with multiple essays and multiple projects due almost close to each other with no room to breath. Towards the middle of this school year and the end of the school year, I started to like English class. The stories we read interested me, The tests we took were surprisingly easy for me, and the projects we were assigned were fun and exciting to do. The biggest reason I like English class this year was definitely because of my English teacher Ms. Webb. The reason Ms. Webb is a great teacher and made English 2 Honors fun for me was because she understood us as students. She understood that we were stressed out about projects or tests, and she also understood that we had other classes to deal with. She would very often help us out by pushing dates, or helping us stress out a little less. Ms. Webb also was very funny and made the class enjoyable to learn. Thanks to Ms. Webb my year in Trinity Catholic was fun and entertaining for English class. With me working extra hard on my work and having a great teacher, I deserve a passing grade in
As young girl with big dreams I imagined my senior year of high school to be one of the best years of my life. I imagined going to homecoming with all of my friends, being the captain of the varsity soccer and cheerleading teams, going to Friday night football games, going to Prom with my perfect date, and going on a senior trip with all of my best friends. I never imagined my senior year to be the way that it is. I am the new kid.
High school is meant to be the time of your life, but for most seniors just like me it can be some of the most emotional and crazy time. The things in my past make me who I am today, and the things I do now are the first footsteps into the future. I’ve learned a lot about myself in these past four years, and I still have so much learning to do. This is my high school story; the good, bad, and the ugly.
At the beginning of my freshman year, I was ready for whatever was going to be thrown at me. I was excited for the new school and the new opportunities. I had barely made the golf team but for some reason that did not faze me. I had friends from my prior years of schools and I was happy. The classes were easier than I thought they were going to be which was my biggest worry going in. Little did I know that my friendships were the biggest issue.
Do you think its fair that players are credited for what they do, when cheating the game? Mark McGwire excelled at the game of baseball and got credit for all of his accomplishments, yet he cheated the game and used steroids. Babe Ruth, considered one of the greatest baseball players to play the game of baseball, who never cheated and set a great example for all who play baseball. Baseball has drastically changed over the years, especially in the cheating scandals of steroids; Babe Ruth set a great example by excelling in the sport and doing it clean, contrasting with Mark McGwire. Their existence shows how society accepted honesty and doing it the clean way in Babe’s era and how society accepts the scandals and dishonesty of Mark’s era.
Mary Wollstonecraft, a women’s rights advocate in the year 1792 summed it up perfectly when she said, “I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.” She is describing the fight within every woman in the Feminist Movement that began in the 1700’s and extended throughout the late 20th century. This powerful motion was a drive to address the debated issues of reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, women’s suffrage, sexual harassment, and sexual violence. As time has passed, feminists have pushed extremely hard to gain equal rights and respect from their male counterparts. Unfortunately in today’s world, society still puts an emphasis on a women’s exterior beauty. They emphasize it in magazines, television commercials, and even the infamous beauty pageant. The industry of beauty pageants is growing rapidly, jeopardizing the continuous work of many women’s rights advocates, throwing away the continuing efforts for equal rights (Miss America, 2011).
James Baldwin’s works were influenced by the times in which he lived, as an African American writer he strove for equality and used his pen to work for civil rights through elements of his childhood among other aspects.
Senior year. The year known for its “lasts” of everything and the start of one 's adulthood. It’s also a busy part of life- college applications, college acceptance, graduation, and even get to know what the terminal disease “senioritis” feels like. Senior year is the last year that I will get the chance to cheer on the football team every Friday night, running track every Thursday, as well as seeing my favorite teachers on a day to day basis. This year is my year, the year that is going to change everything that I have ever known. Senior year is the year that will impact myself, my friends, my family, as well as everyone that surrounds me. It will be the year of change.
Don’t be embarrassed when you fall down the stairs because we all have done that. Don’t be scared or nervous about the bell, tardies or getting to your classes on time. The teachers are really nice and will help you with homework and finding your classes. Mrs. Daniels was my favorite teacher in 6th grade she helps you with homework and getting to your class on time.
...ademic hardships. Even though I lost so much during junior year, I was unaware of the fact that secretly I was actually gaining a great deal of life experiences and real-life lessons for the future. Quite honestly I feel lucky. I feel lucky that I matured early in life; with this new maturity I feel I can accomplish anything. I feel I can make a positive difference in this world. I feel like this experience will be the primary step in my success, in terms of my career, and in the launch of my Children in Need campaigns in third world countries. I feel like the young superman who just learned how to fly, slightly aware of his magnificent impact towards the world. In short, I feel junior year provided foundation for the more mature and adult chapters of my life, and without the numerous obstacles of junior year, I would never gained the key to a successful future.
Sophomore year was an easy going year compared to my other years before and after. Sophomore year was a year where I thought of my dreams and future. Even though I haven’t participated in any school clubs, I still felt fulfilled. Sophomore year was a year filled with new challenges.
I really enjoyed most parts of sophomore year, because I continued to make more friends and memories. When I was fourteen my friend Willow and I visited San Diego for a week. That was one of my favorite road trips, because we were never bored and we always made fun of my brothers driving. My favorite memory from San Diego is when we went to the Wild Animal Park, because we were able to go into the exhibit with my favorite animals, the Ring Tailed Lemur. It was such a unique experience, because the lemurs were literally six inches away from my
I had an extremely amazing time on my Winter break. First of all, I spent a lot of time with my friends over the break. For example, my favorite part on winter break was playing soccer with my friends. My soccer team would play against each other and hang out at a pizza place. Most of the time on my winter break was playing Minecraft with Kalena. My other favorite part of winter break was having playdates with them. Lastly, my last favorite part was, watching Youtube videos together and laugh at the funny things that they did. We usually watch Minecraft videos. Second of all, I did a lot of Christmas bonding with my family over break. For instance, one of the things I did was Christmas shopping. A lot of people were at the mall and
There are 232 million identities stolen each year. Cybercrime is becoming more of a problem today than it ever has. In the course of one day, 1.5 million people will be hacked while on the computer. The United States and Russia have the highest rates for this crime. Terrorist groups often begin their attack by using cyber crimes. Nowadays people are getting more creative in the ways they commit cybercrimes. There are a few known reasons why people commit these crimes. Police and FBI agents are already busy with violent criminals, and trying to solve difficult cases; they just don’t have the time or resources to catch cyber criminals. Today’s generation does not understand how serious cyber crime can be. “Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue.” (Cyber Quotes, 2014). All people need to be taught how to act against this crime and prevent it from happening to them.
My senior year of high school…I want to enjoy people’s company, appreciate my family’s presence, and keep a permanent Polaroid of my “home town” etched in my memory. I have a purpose for the year, I know what I want to accomplish for the future, but I have to remember to make the most out of today because there may not always be a tomorrow.
Having spent twelve years of my school life in just one small red brick building, the years tend to fade into each other. But the year I remember most clearly and significantly is my senior year of high school, where I finally began to appreciate what this institution offered to any student who stopped to look. Before, school had been a chore, many times I simply did not feel motivated toward a subject enough to do the homework well, and seeing the same familiar faces around ever since I was 5 years old grew very tiring soon enough. But I began to see things from a different angle once I became a senior.
