Returning Student Going back to school has its challenges. When we were young, going to school was just a part of our life. School fit into our daily routines and it was just accepted. Kids had it made in my mind. Everything they had to do was planned out for them; all they had to do was show-...

High school is a boot camp I walked into his office. The look on his face was distasteful. He made me feel inferior to him. Not the way you should feel around your high school principal. I didn't feel welcome, or even accepted. His beady eyes burned holes in my skin. I sat. He gazed into my ...

I bit my lips as I stepped into my classroom. I felt the wetness of my sweaty palms as I switched my pink Barbie lunch bag from one hand to the other.

My Experience That Changed Me I went to camp for the first time last summer to get away from the pressures of home and school. Camp was a month long, I have never been away from my parents more than a week. I was very anxious. I had no idea what situations to expect and how I would handl...

Dear Mr. Principle, There are a lot of kids out there, who break the rules, and many of these kids get caught and get in trouble, but that does not stop them. They get in trouble once and they get punished and just keep getting in trouble after that. The problem is that these punishments are no...

Freshman to Senior Becoming a freshman in high school seemed to be the best thing that happened to me throughout all of my school years. Becoming a freshman meant I got more privileges, freedom, and better options in classes. While this is all true, now that I am a senior I see things from a d...

It's always said is good to make peace with your past. Well for me that's not the case. It's too hard to let go a painful past and all the things I went through. From the early 1930's through mid 1940's leaving in Germany were years that no one would ever forget. Through ...

I was sixteen years old and, in my opinion, old enough to do anything on my own. Although I was still young, I wanted to behave maturely. But of course, when adolescents act in ways they don't usually act, things turn out worse. I thought I was more responsible and trustworthy. My parents drove...
