Recommended: The importance of communication in a school

To be successful in high school you will need to communicate with your teachers and peers. Not communicating will get you nowhere and will not help you develop communication skills. When I was a freshman going into high school everything was different because people expected you to be ready and on time for your classes. People were moving ahead and getting ready for their future goals. Then there is me. A gamer that just goes to school to hang out with his friends and play games after school. I was dumb and didn't know how important school was and what it had in store for me in the future.

Freshman year I passed five out of my seven classes. Not bad, But when sophomore year rolled in, I just passed one class and failed the rest. This is where my mom got concerned and asked to talk to my counselor. Me, my mom, and my counselor all sat down together and talked about what I could do to graduate high school on time. They enrolled me in a credit recovery class to recover my classes and to get back on track. …show more content…

I have completed 3 credits and need 2 more to graduate and a writing work sample which I'm writing now to graduate. This paper will decide if I graduate high school or not. High school is very important and should not be a class you can just blow off. School helps you get a better job and it teaches you that during the hard times you will always prevail and move forward. High school is the best thing that has happened to me and will always be the best part of my life years to come. High school taught me that giving up is not an option. My teachers didn't give up on me. So why should I give up on them? This is why high school is important and why you should be ready to learn and you might find something you like and make into your career. When you graduate hold your head high and say “I made it!” You did it and now you are an adult ready for whatever life throws at you. This is why high school is

  • College Essay

    At the start of the semester, my oblivious state of nature associating with the Chinese culture reached an unacceptable level. Implementing a necessary change, I decided to educate myself on different cultures starting with China. I failed to ponder that such a rich, deep culture existed outside America. Encompassed by this country’s unique yet suffocating melting pot culture, my outlook believed ideas such as uniformity between American Chinese food and Authentic Chinese food. After this course, my bigot perspective widened as I witnessed diversity in the world. Before this class, when I thought of Chinese food, my connotation jumped to thoughts associated with chop suey, but as I progressed my education, my mindset gradually pondered foods like steamed buns or “New Year Cakes” with authentic Chinese food.

    As I thought of this article, many of the issues I have faced as a single Hmong woman in her mid-twenties came to mind. Should I discuss the functional reasons why marriage is so important in the Hmong culture, especially for women? Or do I talk about the lack of eligible, older Hmong men? Better yet, should I complain about the attempts by my relatives to find me a good husband as if it were an unfortunate circumstance that I was single instead of a conscious choice? Thinking it over, though, I decided that all those questions boiled down to one fundamental truth – the Hmong community is still trying to learn how to treat the increasing number of Hmong women who, like me, are making the choice to stay single in their mid-twenties.

  • Fresh Out Of College Essay

    1477 Words  | 3 Pages

    When a student gets out of college the game plan is supposed to be, get a job in the field that you went to school for and make money so you can start your life. That particular situation is rare considering not all students get a job fresh out of college. For the students that don’t, they have to go back home and settle for a regular job and start paying off their giant student loans and put their life on hold. Even with having the job they wanted the student loans come right around the corner. After college is when the student’s life is supposed to start and the part where you get a car payment, pay rent, utilities, but none of that is possible when you add the enormous amount of money that the student will be in debt by. With the amount the students have to pay fresh out of college, more students are sacrificing more time struggling to pay off the student loans then they spent in school. Student loans are set-up in a way to be flawed and not always completely necessary to the student.

In all actuality, from your first paper you turn in during your first couple weeks of school, to your final graduation project your final year of college, grades matter.

  • Being A Good Student Essay

    914 Words  | 2 Pages

    Becoming a good student for most is not an easy task. One may be asking if there is a definite way to distinguish a good student and the answer is it 's merely impossible to say a student is considered “good” based on only one factor. Many people define good students as kids who have the best grade in the class. Since most of the time this is true, grades can only be looked at as a single way of how we define the term “good”. We must remember that even poor students can earn high grades occasionally, thus proving why grades are not the best indicator of a student’s quality. The “good student” label will most likely lay on the discipline that their parents laid down for them in school as a child. A good student can balance a positive attitude
