Kids School Vs High School

Decent Essays
We all know as kids school isn't the best place, What i have struggled during this mid-quarter was not coming too school. Not coming too school set me back a couple days of work, once that happends its hard to catch up. To better myself during the rest of the school year I am going to work less because its hard to have a habit of doing homework constantly then working and having that break the chain, Its hard to always do homework when homework doesn't fascinate me because its just very perfunctory , I thought about maybe getting classes that would be provocative to me but I decided to take 2 senior classes this year so I wont need to have as much classes next year and I can just work more and still have time for school. I also have sports

    A Hero's Journey The last month of summer before my junior year started was occupied with pondering and wondering what I wanted to accomplish during the upcoming school year. Sure, junior year sounds like a blast, filled with fun memories and friends. But it also doubles as approaching the cliff of adulthood that I would hit in two short years. Every step I take my junior and senior year will be one step closer to that ledge.…

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    In the beginning of high school, I couldn’t understand the importance of handling my responsibilities, especially when it came to my school work. I just couldn’t find the motivation to hand in stuff like homework on time. I actually started to do less and less each school year. I never try to fix my problem because there were never any consequences to it. I would pass all my classes with decent grades with no problems despite ignoring a lot of the work, but then I was called by my English teacher to stay after class.…

    I am, in all aspects of the word, a Mexican. My skin is brown and my family is large. I've done more physical labor in my life than most people I know will ever will. I speak both English and Spanish fluently and although I was born in America, I am a minority.

    School became a lot harder, especially because in the past I found it pretty easy to complete assignments and course work with only average effort and still be happy with my marks. I found I really needed to put time into studying for the first time. I became more stressed about academic success, and the social pressure in our grade skyrocketed to an all-time high. Meanwhile, I was expected to be at practice for a minimum of 1.5-2 hours a night, plus some weekends and a few mornings. I also enjoy being active throughout different areas of the school, in which my various commitments added up quickly, none of which I wanted to…

    School is an extremely stressful time and stress can easily become overbearing for those who strive for excellence in education. Some students, like myself, have part-time jobs while attending school. While upholding such a tight schedule, it can be very difficult to find time to study and do assignments. A job is a requirement so that money is accessible and payments for education are available. School can be expensive and student loans add up, so a job is needed to pay for it.…

    I did succeed in making my grades but by the last months of the semester I realize that the stress that came with procrastination wasn’t worth in ad I started working on time management. In high school the words time management are repeated but never really explains. I grew up hating the simple idea of time management, but I have since learned that is means balance. It is easy to think of staying in and doing nothing but studies, but true time management is the balancing the responsibilities you must complete and the things you want to do. This realization has taught me that I can have a “fun” college experience without forgetting the reason I am at a university.…

    According to American businessman Dave Ramsey, “The most important decision about your goals is not what you are willing to do to achieve them, but what you are willing to give up”. When I think of the word “sacrifice”, the first thing that usually comes up in my head are people slaughtering animals as an offering to a divine or supernatural figure. However, when we talk about sacrifice in today’s society, it means giving up(something important or valued) for the sake of other considerations. I have had to make a lot of changes to how I spend my time in order to work on homework this year. I spend a lot less time with friends and family now.…
