As you look back to school life, you remember all the things and hopefully you smile, there are a lot of things to remember in school life and that can make you cherish. My high school experience changed me profusely. I learned many lessons being a high school student. I came to know how to live in a society of different people, learned to talk to people without the fear of arrogance and learned to make decisions and making them right because no one likes indecisive people. I learned how important is to be the man of his word. It is life changing and most complex experience as you do a lot of things that people do not …show more content…
I feel excited to see new people and finding similarities between them. The most important thing during this experience was how learning new culture and experiencing new people is amazing and makes you wise. Being so far from my home and meeting different people, give me the feeling of how big our world is and how less we know about it. It is same as frog in a well know nothing of the great ocean, when you are in one place you do not about other world and your thinking has boundaries like frog has in the well. Being in same area never gives you an experience of thinking different but as you will go and study in another part of the world or in new country you will experience a different culture and you know how important is learning new culture and how that makes you
High school was not a completely dreadful experience, but I did not get a really an exceptional education. As I entered high school, I thought it would be a whole new exciting chapter in my life. I started out as an involved student, and went through all of the Advance Placement and Honor classes, and managed to be at the top 12% of my class. In high school, I basically placed myself to enjoy it; I joined all of the extra curricular activities I was interested in. I was in band, tennis, swimming, dance team, and Key Club. Sometimes I was at school for about fourteen hours a day, four times a week.
High school is where I had gained an awareness about how what I 'm learning in school is going to benefit me in the real world. I learned an retain a variety of information because the things that I did learn I felt like you would need to know to survive in the real world. A perfect example of this is driver 's ed where I learned to drive something that I do everyday frequently. Another reason why I learned and retain so much I because when I got into high school is around the same time I got my first job. This definitely opened the door in showing me how what I 'm learning in school applies to everyday work activities such as knowing and counting money this is where math comes in. Being able to talk and communicate writing and verbally this is where English comes in. All things that I needed to do in everyday
Would you consider going to a school where you learn year-round? Maybe this would be your ideal school, but, when would you get to have some time to go to summer camp, or get a summer job, or play a sport with games during the day? Schools with the traditional schedule may actually be a better choice, and not just because kids love summer break. Schools should have a traditional school year schedule instead of a year round schedule because there isn’t a significant difference between the students’ performance, and year round schedules make planning family vacations hard, make the teachers’ job more difficult, and are more expensive. Also, having a summer break allows kids to participate in activities that they would not be able to do on a year round schedule due to the shorter breaks.
Does year-round school truly have a positive impact in the lives of students? Various studies have suggested that year round school is helpful. There are some disadvantages to this type of schooling that are preventing all schools from switching to this type of scheduling. In earlier times schools were only teaching throughout half of the year so that the school would be out of session when it was time to work in the fields. This type of scheduling is still common today, even though only a small portion of agriculture is tied into education and kids are no longer required to work. “In 1994, the National Education Commission on Time and Learning (1994) urged school districts to develop school calendars that acknowledged (a) differences in
What do you think about going to school year round with little breaks here and there, but not your traditional three month summer break? Year round schooling has been a decision argued with the government, teachers, principals and parents. Many kids and adults like to relax on their three month break. Many students are used to having two week winter break, one week spring break, and three months of summer break. Overall, one three month break would benefit than having three-week breaks broken up throughout the school year.
According to American Academy of Pediatrics, they believe that a child needs a scheduled recess at school daily because of its effects on children. Recently, schools have cutting down on recess time because of poor grades and standards are rising. What they don't know is that a child needs a break from work like everyone else does. Schools should include recess in Middle school and High school because it helps lower obesity, lower stress, and develop social skills .
firstly I feel that the year round school calendar isn’t that good so I think my school shouldn’t switch to the year round calendar first of all “it was really hard to get involved “( www. Scholastic.com).
My High School life has helped shape the way for my college experiences that I will face. My senior year in high school is not the same as many other high school students. I am taking many advanced classes to help me prepare for college. These classes help me better understand exactly how much harder I must work to succeed.
Different cultures, or environments make up how people live their lives and how they may act on a daily basis. These cultures are common all throughout the world, even throughout the different places within the United States. Going on my school trip to New York City made me aware of these cultures changes and when are plane landed back in Minnesota I was so thankful to be back to the places and faces I had always been used to.
It has been four years since I moved to America, and three years since my graduation from high school. Most of what I have learned came from my time out of high school. While I value my time in high school and still reflect on how quickly I adapted and succeeded, my two years out of high school has taught me how to live life. There is so much more than making friends and building a great GPA. There is the love of helping others, volunteering, working towards something bigger than yourself, and most importantly understanding yourself.
High school has been a very interesting experience for me. It has definitely had its highs and lows and many confusing experiences in between. Overall, I feel like I have been equipped for not only college, but also life as a whole. High school has taught me many things, both academically and emotionally. It has revealed and exposed my true colors, both good and bad, and as a result, has built many aspects of my character. My experiences at Alameda High school and Alameda Community Learning Center have shaped me into the person that I am today.
You can learn a lot about yourself in high school, from how you use your time in school to the after school activities you do. What you do, from a freshman to a senior, will determine what you want and can do for future careers. High school will challenge you in many ways, from organizational skills to time management skills. All the life lessons from high school can really tie into one category, time management.
My education is limited to a High School level, and it was over a decade ago that I graduated. However High School definitely had its lessons that still stick with me today. My English classes gave me the skills to be able to communicate through words, and how to make them count; History showed me the importance of learning from a past, and how to turn it into success in the future. That being said, making the decision to go back to school where I stand today is a learning experience beyond what I can remember from High School.
Time flies so fast. Looking back, my high school is just like a movie, a lot of things happened. High School is four years of growing up and probably a time in your life where you go through the most changes. In high school you are able to discover yourself and find out who you are as a person. Each year is special and unique in their own way. My journey through high school was a tough one, especially because I decided to not only focus on academic work but also to invest quality time in extra curriculum activities. I wanted more than just academic excellence; I wanted to be a leader, I wanted to add value to every aspect of my life, I wanted a rounded education and not just mere schooling. My success story is what I will like to share with you; how I really made it and how this defines my personality. My journey in High School was scary, exciting, and successful.
My experience with school was very challenging and overcoming my personal struggles was not an easy feat. I started Kindergarten with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and I’m thankful that my preschool teacher recognized my learning challenges and encouraged my parents to have me evaluated. We found out that I had ADHD and learning disabilities that would make academic achievement a challenge for me. More specifically, I had difficulty decoding words and pronouncing some letter sounds such as “R’s” and “W’s”. As a result, excelling in school was a challenge due to my disability and the reaction of other students to my disability only made it more difficult.
