Why does every high school student’s college acceptance rely so heavily on SATS? Studies have shown how the test is unfair and does not truly display a student’s academic ability. Students everywhere are denied by colleges for average SAT scores, however many of them graduate with high GPAs and place high in their class. Why […]

My first day of high school is a pretty average day. I have a routine everyday that I follow. I sit in the great hall and talked with friends. The bell would ring and everyone goes to their locker and get ready for class. Everyone is looking forward to the only break during the day […]
Obama’s new education plan has the whole country wondering what’s going to happen. Personally, I don’t believe more school is the answer. The quality of education that our students are getting is the real concern. If students aren’t motivated to learn, why would they come to school more? It will increase stress and truancy, which […]
Life is a journey. Notice how this statement does not say life is a destination. Too often in life we focus on results and how those results affect us rather than the experiences and knowledge we’ve gained from the steps it took to acquire a certain goal. Thinking back to the fall, I can remember […]
Music is a big part of my life and I don’t know what I would do without it. Music has many benefits, especially for kids. Children who are struggling with their lives can express themselves with music. Without this kind of relief, things could get out of hand. Music helps me to release my energy […]
My grandma has this tendency to start making small internal groans when she finds fault in something someone else says. Most recently, this occurred when I told her of my plans to major in English Literature. “But. ..” she said, treading carefully around the subject, “…will you get a job with such a degree?” I […]
It struck me today that I, like everyone else, am getting older. I don’t fear aging; it’s natural, unstoppable, and beautiful. To agonize over the inevitable silver hair and crow’s feet is a waste of time. Truly, that is not what troubles me the most. I fret at how time will slip through my clutching […]
The alarm clock rings. The clock says 6:00 am. You pull yourself out of bed and start to get ready for school. You are tired because you stayed up late studying for a test. You didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast and you are really hungry. As the above example shows, the school start […]
Homeschooling has been misunderstood since it began. When did it begin? Before and since schools were established, parents, friends, everything in this world, both living and dead has been teaching children. Why is it so misunderstood? Because there is no real definition of the word ‘homeschool. ‘ It means something different to everyone. Anyone who […]
“Imagine that you are a teacher of Roman history and the Latin language, anxious to impart your enthusiasm for the ancient world — for the elegiacs of Ovid and the odes of Horace, the sinewy economy of Latin grammar as exhibited in the oratory of Cicero, the strategic niceties of the Punic Wars, the generalship […]
Prompt: If we are afraid to reveal our lack of knowledge we will not be able to learn. In order to make progress we must admit where we are now. Such an admission of ignorance is not easy. As Thoreau says, “How can we remember our ignorance which our growth requires, when we are using […]
I am not trying to sound acrimonious, but restricting students’ attire is an unwise decision for several reasons. Most students so not dress in an egregious or disturbing manner, so it would be pointless to control how they dress. Students do not dress “badly” out of duplicity, but are simply expressing themselves and their sense […]
It’s not often I’m struck with epiphanies, as I’m sure one can imagine.At my mere, meager age of 16, I can’t imagine I have much prevalence in the world.Young people, teens in particular it seems, are paid little attention or respect until someone wants us to become a “good, civil, productive member of society.” This […]
As high school students, we spend at least seven hours in school every school day. We all desire clean classrooms, tidy playgrounds, bright gyms, unpolluted hallways, and hygienic restrooms. However, recently, due to surging government budget cuts, we are seeing an increasing deduction in janitorial services at public high schools around the nation. What do […]
I was literally forced to write this. Behold- the best essay ever written in the history of mankind. Please sit upright in your chair so you don’t hurt yourself when you get blown away. A lot of students don’t have the mental capability to even speak, let alone come up with a topic on what […]
One important factor in creating the “perfect” school is the physical layout of the building. I believe it would be beneficial to have different sections of the school specifically designed for one subject. For example all the biology and physics classes would be in the “Science” wing, while ceramics and painting classes would be located […]
Middle School. A sick and yet enchanted place to be. People laughing, screaming and sometimes maybe even crying. Usually when people cry here it’s based on break ups or family matters or maybe even friendship. It’s not easy but it’s also not hard. When people come here you can best believe they’re going to go […]
“You can be anything you want to be in life. “We will support you no matter what you decide to do. ” “Oh, you shouldn’t study that in college, you’ll never get a job doing it.” Two comments like these put together seem to be made by parents far too frequently. As rising seniors in […]

I’m sitting at a computer trying to figure out stories for this 55 fiction thing. I think it is a little boring but, I am still writing one. The hard part is actually writing one that is 55 words exactly. I had fun and just to let you know this is my fifty fifth word.
