My high school years came left, without noticing that I had not even found myself. It was like I had walked through a long hallway and never gave myself one thought. Never really found the person hiding inside of me. It was always about everyone else, what everyone else needed, and what everyone else thought. Never really caring about what I thought, but honestly that 's how I always liked it. During my last days of high school I would see everybody crying and making plans for the summer, but to me it was like it was just another summer and we would come the next year. It hadn 't hit me that, that year was my last year in high school. Senior picnic came, the senior panoramic, prom, senior skip day, and last, but certainly not least, graduation. …show more content…
Green, really showed me how to discover myself. She showed us how to find our learning styles so that it would be easier to go through college. She taught us how to understand ourselves, so we can know our values and what makes us, us. She made us pick our careers, and find more about it, so we could know what we were looking for in the future. Today I can say that, with the help of Mrs. Green, I know a little bit more about myself than I did in high school, where I was completely lost. I have found pieces of me that I didn 't know they were there before, and all I need is to put them all together so I can see the full picture one day. Of course that won 't be anytime soon, but one day in the future I hope to see Mrs. Green one day and just thank her, that without her and God 's help, I would have gone through college, and life, without knowing the things that made me realize I had to turn myself around and just think about myself and what I mean to society and the world. I can say that with all the long and painful assignments that we had to do, which I couldn 't finish some (sorry), it helped us realize how important we are, and hopefully be the future generation everyone wants us to be. I have learned a lot through this course, I hope everyone else has to, everything I have learned through it I will cherish forever because I know I will find myself everyday if I do. I know I 'm well prepared for college, a.k.a. life. Thank you Mrs.
Diagnosed with cancer and given just months to live, Randy Pausch decided to give a last lecture. Randy felt this was important so that he may give a sort of goodbye to those who he cared about, share advice and life-experiences that he felt were important, and most importantly for his kids, whom would never really get to know him because of their age. This book is a collection of stories and general life advice that Randy felt was important to share before moving on.
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.
I left this course with the skills I can take advantage of in the future. Mrs.Cohen had been to college, therefore, she was able to give tips and tricks on how to survive college. If anyone had a concern, she would give them advice to help them. She offered her time after class to anyone who would want to sit down with her and chat about future plans so she could guide them. Mrs.Cohen made me feel she actually cared about each and every one of us. Classmates and I were all provided with college and scholarship information and anything needed to succeed in applying for college. She was willing to lend an ear to any complaints made. She is a large reason to why this class impacted me a great deal. She openly embraced and expressed her true self without being ashamed of it and I loved it. It felt as she could relate and understand the
My Final Banquet: It was my final moments as a Chelsea High School cheerleader. My final banquet was quickly approaching. It was then that I realized I was not ready for the season to be over. I stood in front of my friends, fellow cheerleaders, and their families as they watched and waited for me to recite my last words as the season came to an end. It took hours for me to write about what my teammates and coaches meant to me.
6th grade, and I was saying hello, and now 8th grade has come and it’s gone from introductions to goodbyes as my last days as a middle school student wind down. 8th grade, 8th grade from the opening day to the signing of the yearbooks. This is the year of memories, goodbyes, and regrets. 8th grade and I’m still realizing that there are people in the world that would die to go to a school like this.
Why do people celebrate death? Many people including myself have wondered this, and when I first heard of the mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos. Translated in english, day of the dead is a holiday where instead of mourning lost ones they remember their lost ones by making alters, decorating their graves with things they used to like or their favourite food and celebrate their life. This mexican tradition is now celebrated throughout the united states aswell and this year we decided to dedicate alters to people we lost in the battle against police brutality. We have lost so many souls in the past decade that a black lives matter movement was created. Its sad that it even had to get to this point but all we can do now is fight for change and
I envision high school as an essential stepping stone for everyone. The era where every individual lacks the complete confidence in defining who they are or what they want to be. The four years of high school was the moment and opportunity to seek the interests that stood out to me the most. The experiences you make and the people you associate with are a crucial part of finding yourself.
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.
Generosity is the virtue of not being tied down by concerns about one's possessions. In the stories “Day 10, Story 3” and “ Day 10, Story 4” by Giovanni Boccaccio, the protagonists, Nathan and Gentile have a unique style of expressing their generosity and both have pure intentions towards helping people in need. Although, Nathan is more generous than Gentile as Gentile boasts about his generosity.
At first, this course made me explore my faith in more details and understand the expectations that my faith/church has of me to fulfill. I was taught that the most important things in life are for free and that we should live our lives in service, and in sharing our talents and gifts with others. I came to the realization that I was able to live my faith by doing small actions filled with love and compassion. Mother Teresa says it best "Every Time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. "
You know, it is really strange how quickly time passes, after spending my whole childhood wishing I was an adult, now here we are and it's a little hard to grasp. It feels like just yesterday I was standing here in the same position at eighth grade graduation. Ahh, middle school, such a joyous time for all of us, free of maturity and not a care in the world. The biggest decisions I ever had to make then was deciding which group to stand with at passing time and choosing which shirt from my extensive collection of Stussy and No Feat apparel to wear. We were all naive to the danger that lurked just around the corner. We were unaware that the carefree world we lived in was about to come crashing to the ground in a blazing inferno of real school work and responsibility ... otherwise known as high school.
When I first started the class I had so much negative self-talk my inner critic would get the best of me “I can’t do this”, “I am not smart enough”, I would cause myself anxiety from being so worried about how I would do on my class work. This book On Course really changed my life, the more I read the more I felt this healing process with in me, something I honestly have not felt that in two years of counseling, it was different writing your feelings down and visually seeing it on paper. I felt encouraged and excited to learn more. This class has taught me self-confidence, commitment and when you think positive, your life will be positive. I feel I can do anything in life
It was one of the most exciting and nerve racking days of our lives. Although we were finally leaving high school, the feeling of being unsure didn’t go away. The whole day was full of practicing for the big moment when the entire class graduated on to a new beginning. All the girls wore shiny bright red robes and the guys were dressed in a shiny navy blue. Standing there, I had no idea what to expect. Some things I were aware of, my friends were leaving and we wouldn’t be the same friends anymore. My role was that of being so aware of the future that I was too shocked to soak in the present; being a pessimist was my main goal and everything I was sure of became true.
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.
Wednesday, October 13, 2013 is a date I will never forget. On that day, time stopped for a moment. I was sixteen and only had my license for a month. I was so excited about having so much freedom, that I was driving every day, with no hesitation. I was invincible,or so I thought. This day changed my thinking completely. What started out as a normal day, quickly turned into one that was very different from any other. I had just gotten out of cheer practice and was on my way home. On the way, I realized that I needed gas, so I decided to go through South Carolina, since they have the lowest gas prices. It was not out of the way, so to say. It was just another rout home. It was not the first time I had taken this way, but, it was definitely the last.
