Unfortnately, I had nobody in my life to turn to to ask for help when it came to learning, not even my teachers. I either had to learn it myself and get it right the first time or fail and never get it right.

back with regret. I had the amazing ability to just check out of life. Today I don’t like to use that talent because I constantly feel like I’m missing out. The day of my high school graduation, I looked around and I realized I barely knew the kids around me. Four years had gone by, and I had no idea where they went. High school was advertised as the best years of my life, and I totally checked out. I felt like I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone, and I had been robbed of the majority

In my four years of high school I have participated in four years of cross country running and two years each of indoor and outdoor track. I have run long distance in all of these sports. Running in high school has allowed me to develop better time management skills and a realistic affective goal setting process. Running long distance also demands discipline and perseverance and has helped me to apply these qualities to my academic and personal goals. The members of sports teams that I have been

School is holding and election for student council? I heard, “mush,” and ran for president. When I later learned of the school play, something told me once again, “mush.” That March, my parents watched me walk on stage and become Aladdin.

I always dreaded waking up everyday at 6 a.m. to get ready for school. On February 29th, I woke up and felt terrible and I almost asked my father if I could stay home. Before I asked him, I remembered we were going to have a party in the kindergarten class I tutored for; I could not miss that. When I got to school, I was waiting until lunch to go to the party in my kindergarten room. I was working on my math when our school secretary came on the speaker and yelled “Lockdown, the building is on lockdown

Going into high school you need to make some big decisions. You need to decide whether you are going to put effort into your school work, or if you're going to go party on the weekends. You need to decide if the consequences are worth it. I went into to high school with the mindset that I was going to put in effort, do my school work, and to follow my parents rules. My favorite classes so far in high school are Culinary, World History, and English 10. I love all three of those teachers because we

Back in Oregon I was happy to be there. Sure during the time I stayed there it would always rain there until the summer but I was still happy there. I had great friends, I was going to a new and fun school and it was great. But then one day I was forced to move away from there near the end of the school year. When I knew I was moving I was so sad to move away from my friends and they would probably miss me as much as I would miss them. I remember very well how it happened; like it was yesterday

Going into high school, I knew I wanted to be an involved student to help me get the best experience I possibly could. I wanted to do more than just go to school for seven hours, come home, and repeat. My middle school passion for gymnastics drove me to try out for the cheer team and over the years, I slowly expanded my boundaries. I went from being on JV, to coaching the JV cheer team, to becoming more of a leader on campus. Renaissance gave me this opportunity. Within Renaissance, my class and

This experience takes me back to third grade when I used to catch the school bus every day at 7:40 am. Every day I would get up at 6:30 am, get ready and then go out of the house a few minutes early to wait for the bus. Once I get on the bus I put on my headphones so I can tune everyone out. The bus carries kids from Kindergarten through fifth grade. Every day the bus was very loud and sometimes dangerous. I would glance to one side of the bus and see kids flying out of their seats, boys fighting

Throughout the first half of my high school career, I definitely would describe myself as a follower. I went along with whatever my friends did just to try to “fit in”. This all changed as I entered my junior year of high school. One day at field hockey practice, a few senior girls invited some of my friends and I to a party that they were having that night. I knew that there would be alcohol there and I knew it was not a good idea. Most of my friends were excited to be invited to a party with

I got really tired of dealing with by myself so I did something about it. Before I got to high school I went to a small country school here in Orland. I had a lot of fun times, but the bad part about having a twenty student class is that what you do sticks with you for a while. It’s also really hard to get new friends since you know the same people from kindergarten

Fourteen-year-old Kelly hopped off the school bus in front of her house. First day of high school! Things are looking up now, she thought cheerfully. She took the key out of the side pocket of her backpack and opened the door to the kitchen. Her eyes fell on the dirty dishes in the sink. I should have done those last night, she thought guiltily. Okay, here’s the plan. I will check on Mom, then start supper. I’ll just wait and wash all the dishes at once, she thought. “Mom! I’m home!” she yelled

Throughout my high school career, I realized how enlightening and informative it was to be a leader. I continually put myself in these leadership positions starting in tenth grade where I took a chance and became project leader of a small engineering group. It was my first experience with engineering and with entrepreneurship (aside from my childhood days of futilely selling chocolate at a school bake sale). I was initially naïve when it came to the leadership position; I did not truly know how to

private school. In that school, there were around 20 kids in a grade (all in all about 200 between pre-kindergarten and 8th grade). Everyone had fairly the same beliefs, values, and overall character where I was pretty much the “same as everyone else”. After 8th grade, my parents decided that I was going to go to high school in a different school district all together. This meant that I was going from my class of about 19 to a class of about 219. I dreaded every moment of preparing for high school and

My High School GPA; having not once gone under a 3.8, has contributed to my placement within the top 5% of my graduating class. As good as this may seem, my middle school career was an outright contradiction.

With my parents continually working overtime, they anticipated top notch grades and behavior. Furthermore, demeaning my family’s

I constantly wonder what kind of legacy I would leave at Blue Valley High School. My principal always preaches to us we should “Leave our mark” at the school, but as an underclassman that saying never really reverberated with me. I figured once I became an upperclassman I would find my place. When I became an upperclassman, I realized I just didn’t have an overwhelming set of skills in one particular area.

University’s Coleman Hall. My palms were sweaty, and I could not think over the beating of my heart. As the clock struck seven, the professor walked in. A few weeks earlier I had met with my guidance counselor. I wanted to take a course on a topic my high school did not offer: women’s studies. That day, I signed up for Race and Sexuality. The first class was daunting; after a few minutes I found out that the thirteen other students were college seniors. The nerves did not last long. Just an hour into my

I think the most successful part of Link Cru is the academic follow ups. When I was a freshman, I felt really nervous about high school life and wondered how my future will turn out to be. As I was anxious about the question myself, the Link leaders showed up and they became the first guide for my high school life.

Transcript I, personally, am proud of how my grades have looked in my high school career. I always tried my best to maintain a 3.7 or higher GPA and I feel that I have done a swell job at doing that. There have been times where I studied profusely and went to tutoring after school to make certain that I pass a test or quiz. I feel that those times were well spent because in the end I received satisfactory grades. I regret none of the hard work spent because I know that the knowledge I absorbed has
