Everyone is scared about leaving high school and becoming an adult and having real responsibilities, but in reality the scariest part of life is actually the years you spend struggling and working through high school.

There are two types of people in this world: the strivers and the naturally talented. The strivers are the ones who work hard for what they want to achieve. The naturally talented already have what it takes to achieve their goal. Although the debate of whether or not hard work is more important than talent […]

Ah, exams. I feel like I’ve been preparing for them my entire life, or at least, ever since I entered the seventh grade. Not just any exams, but one big series of exams in particular- GCSEs. My teachers in the various schools I’ve been to (three in four years-we move a lot) continuously bring the […]

All parents want their child to succeed to the best of their abilities in school. So, why do parents allow kids to work part-time jobs during the school year; distracting them from their studies?

It has come to my attention that people think I am smart. They ask for my ACT score and roll their eyes with envy. They ask for my GPA and raise their eyebrows. After this encounter, they either like me more, or like me less. Because to them, I am my grades. To them, I […]

School: We all have to deal with it at sometime in our life. Many people say the main focus is learning and education, but I see many different things going on in my school. I go to middle school, so I’m at the ‘dramatic age’ as my mom would say it. But drama and danger […]

Which is more significant? The student with a 4.0 GPA, or a wide receiver who scores four touchdowns in a state championship game? Neither person is more accomplished than the other for attaining such a goal. These accomplishments are at such different ends of the spectrum.

People play around with bulling and I hate that, everyone thinks that bulling is cool. Most guys/girls try to act bad saying they bully little kids and teens past their age but it’s just stupid. As I heard bulling has lead to depression, death, and even abuse. Many kids/teens have commit suicide over bulling which […]

Athletics are just as important to a student’s development as education. People do not value the importance of sports as much as they value education. Education should be a high priority to everyone. Learning does not just benefit a person, but a whole country; however, athletics teaches things that books cannot. Things that are necessary […]

We use our brains for intelligence NOT money. Parents already pay too much money for their kid(s) to go to school.

In many aspects, college admissions is a game. Students with multiple ethnic backgrounds might try to choose the most “advantageous” ethnicity (or not choose one at all) in terms of affirmative action. They might put biomedical engineering or philosophy instead of pre-medicine as an academic interest to catch the eyes of admissions officers. There are, […]

Schools everywhere seem to fall apart from drugs, sex, alcohol, gangs and much more. Each day kids get put down for what they believe in, or what they want in their life.

Aristotle once said that education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
