I had to choose between staying at my home-school, or going to a new middle school that had just opened up called Metro. Metro made its first appearance in my life late one April evening. The outside air was warm and had the sweet smell of blossoming spring that I found so endearing. My fifth-grade year was coming to a speedy end. Sixth grade acted as an expected visitor that I excitedly sat and waited for. My siblings had all retired
when entering a new school? At first you would probably be scared, but also excited for entering to a new school, especially because new challenges will appear and you will experience new things. Alexa Navas and Zion Lesesne are an example, and both of them were able to adapt to a new environment. Alexa was living in Nicaragua, but when she entered the NDS, she felt anxious and was nervous just the way Zion felt. Zion came from the United States and his main challenge was learning a new language, Spanish
confused? Well new students feel this way whenever they move to a new school. They have no idea if they'll make friends or if anyone would like them. But with the ambassador program new students will right away feel comfortable in their new surroundings, able to learn a new language and know their way around our school faster than someone who's been there for three years. If we had this program, they just might make a friend right away. Feeling comfortable and feeling safe in your new surroundings
The Case for a New Tisbury School In 1854, the town of Tisbury built its first school on Center Street in Vineyard Haven. Seventy-five years later, in 1929, that school was demolished and the Tisbury School at its current location was constructed. It has served the Town well for almost 90 years, but is at the end of its useful life. Windows have failed, the roof has multiple leaks, brick is cracking and needs repointing, and the cafeteria and gym are just too small. The renovations needed just
most popular New Zealand news website nzherald.co.nz reports 783 articles including the keywords “Bullying in Schools” dating as far back as 1999 (Alexia Internet Inc., n.d.; The New Zealand Herald, 2014) . In 2013 alone there were 82 articles written using the same keywords, which equates to atleast one being reported every week. In 2012 there were 135 matches or atleast 2 a week. It is safe to say this is a sizable national issue. Not all of these articles reported on national news topics but even
another. But what this new generation doesn’t know about are the positive and creative flows that were spit not so long ago in the 80’s and 90’s. Rappers back in the day like Tupac and Ice Cube both had times when they had to show off their thug sides but they both had reasons or a call-to-arms for that, and indeed were in tune with that era’s problems as well as the society where they were raised. Moreover, even though some new school songs actually look promising, old school songs are still always

I have came to the realization that moving to a new school is tough but it was the best decision I have ever made. The challenges I had to face when making my decision were very hard. At my old school, which is Blue Ridge, I've made so many memories with good friends. I used to live in Phoenix when I was just a little kid and my family moved to Pinetop for my fathers new business. At Blue Ridge, I thought I found a home there. Everyone treated me wonderfully and I thought I wanted to graduate from
Moving to a new town can be a scary experience. Switching to a new house and different school was one of the hardest tasks i’ve ever done in my life. When my parents first told me we were moving I took it very hard and didn’t know how to handle it. It was so much to take in after all the years living in my old town, Milaca. When my mom told me we were moving it was because my dad would be closer to work and so she could get a better job. It was about a month into Summer and it was going to be a very
to a new school as horribly terrifying, I became quite accustomed to this change. The events in my life were simply trials that have morphed me into the person that I am today. When I entered a new school or town, I faced new challenges that continued to push me. These experiences challenged me socially and academically. I consider this aspect of my background very important due to the fact that it has pushed me to become a resilient and tenacious individual and

In this essay I will be looking at how the political and intellectual ideas of the enlightenment have shaped New Zealand Education. I will also be discussing the perennial tension of local control versus central control of education, and how this has been affected by the political and intellectual ideas of the enlightenment. The enlightenment was an intellectual movement, which beginnings of were marked by the Glorious Revolution in Britain. (Kramnick, 1995). The enlightenment movement continued
student’s face. One of those “your mom” jokes had gone too far. This does not have to be you. You are just entering Jr. high, it's a new school with new rules and new faces. Think of it as a fresh, new palette, you can paint yourself as whoever you want to be. Whether that be a straight A student or a total flunk. I had survived the first half of the school year and finals week was here. I had projects from all classes, tests to study for, and essays to write. I wondered to myself, “How
But the bubble shrank, as suddenly nothing in my life was the same degree of consistent that it had been. The different grades I moved through in school brought new students each year, but took away some just the same, and I found myself in the center of a dwindling group of recognizable faces. And when middle school came along, the bubble I had become so dependent on popped. I made friends slower than ever, and my first year is filled with memories of people leaving my life at
Coming into a new high school, freshman year, I had to learn about how to adapt to the school and the environment very quickly. I still remember the first day I walked on campus one hot summer sunny day. As I walked up and down the campus walkway I stared at each of the eight buildings, intrigued with each building’s unique structure and amazed that each building was made out of actual bricks. I was terrified, lonely, and did not know what to do or think about for my first day of school. The night before
the New School rap industry. Like most other subcultures tend to originate, this genre emerged by giving a voice to the voiceless—in this case many of the black citizens of America struggling to make a living on the streets. However, as the many music and fashion trends associated with subcultures, New School included, become increasingly popular on a nationwide scale, so does the desire to be widely attractive to consumers. Because of the music and fashion trends associated with New School rap

Perspective of School It all started a week before the new school year. The year of the sneezing, coughing and nonstop runny nose was preparing its over throw of summer. I wasn't too excited about it. In fact I dreaded it. Advertisements came flying through the mail. Every one of them had printed boldly "Back To School" and "Back to School" again. It made me sick to my stomach. I threw every ad in the garbage. I never knew it but this school year was to change my view of school and the people
When I was in the 7th grade, a new student joined us by the name of Kieran Rose. I was assigned to show him around school, help him make friends and most importantly make sure he was comfortable in his new environment. Six years later, he is now my best and closest friend. In October 2012, the annual inter-schools swimming gala took place in Nairobi at the Kasarani stadium. At the time, I used to take swimming very seriously and regularly went for training after school. Kieran always stayed behind
