My Senior Year Is The Senior Year Of High School

702 Words2 Pages

To some students, senior year means parties, prom, graduation, and senior week but my focus is mainly to accomplish these three things: make it to playoffs for field hockey, receive honor roll as much as I possibly can, and simply make the most of my last year in high school. Senior year is the last year you spend with all the friends you have grown up with. I believe that senior year is the most important year of high school because it is your last “free” year. After senior year you either head onto college, start a career in the work force, or enlist in the military. You are no longer viewed as a child and are on your way to starting adulthood. Senior year helps to determine where you will go in life and how successful you could be.

  • The Benefits of Early Graduation

    655 Words  | 2 Pages

    Graduating early is when you graduate before you are suppose to. It was never common because no one ever seemed to think about it or want to put in the work to do it. For a long time high school was defined as the best time of your life. Everyone who spoke to you always said when you left you would miss it. No one really wanted to graduate early for that reason. People wanted to cherish the time they had in high school because they knew they only got to go through it once. It was a big idea to live up to. Senior year has this belief attached to it. It means a lot to people because it is their last year of high school and it was upsetting to know that you’d be leaving the people you have spent the last four years with. People thought you had to have as much fun as possible in high school and do all kinds of crazy things before you turned 18: when you would be considered and punished as an adult. Now those times have changed. High school is not looked upon as the best times of your life anymore. It is looked upon in almost a negative way. High school has changed a lot and it is not very enjoyable now. There are lots of reasons why someone would want to graduate early. For instance, maybe the student was bullied, maybe the student decided they wanted to move on and go to college, maybe the student got sick of their home life and wanted to move forward, or like me, maybe the student has their future waiting for them and all they need is to graduate high school so they could begin it.

  • Senior Project

    1520 Words  | 4 Pages

    In addition to gaining a great deal of creditability from doing the Senior Project, or also referred to as the Culminating Project, students also gain something even more valuable than praise from accomplishing an obscure assignment, a diploma. Yes, the Senior Project, of all things, is required to graduate high school, it’s no wonder seniors get senioritis, and desire to extract as soon as possible. Now, these aren’t all the exact reasons as to why it is required of by each individual, because there are many reasons as to why it is necessary and how it will be more beneficial than tedious, at least to some people, namely school boards or any other administrators of education. Their motives are so that the student may further prepare himself or herself for college or careers. This opinion may be true, that it indeed does prepare some students for their futures, but that doesn’t guarantee that it will prepare all students for what will come after high school. All it can provide is the basics that administrators find essential. Sure the topic is open as to what can be chosen to present on, but within that freedom are regulations.
