Senior Project Essay

Introduction As you know the Senior Project is a huge and daunting task that almost every high school senior has to complete to graduate. Some waste this opportunity but I plan to try and improve my school with the help of natural helpers and NHS. My topic is, How can school administration help limit the amount of stress within a school. My paper focuses on the effects of stress on the human body, and the different stressors that effect administration and students. The first part of my paper is about one of my experiences from stress, then I go on to talk about the questions I want to learn more about, and then the research I preform on those questions. One of the last thing I talk about is my opinions and my future involvement with my topic, followed by my works cited and appendix.

What I Knew In a project about stress management I had a stress induced anxiety attack during the speech. It was sophomore year about 9:30 in the morning when I was asked to give my three minute speech on if

I wanted to do this topic because I know a lot of kids that have anxiety and how mentally and emotionally damaging it can be to speak in front of people. This process will push me out of my comfort zone because I have to talk to many new people, but I am looking forward to the new experience. Hopefully, I will be able to improve how teachers and staff react to student anxieties and also how students react to their own anxiety.

What I Want to Know By the end of my project I hope to understand more about the effect of stress, and how a large community of people can reduce said stress. I need to know the stressors that effect administration, students, and even the parents of the students; The many ways of reducing stress, and which are more effective; and lastly, if school stress can benefit a student.
