...While in high school, highway hassles are everyday, problems, problems that tend to interrupt the whole school day. Many times, the local police and fire station were called in to help the students safely resolve the problems.Well here's a few things that were often used to solve the jumbled junk of a highway we call the highways in you Thornton High school; As already stated, the local police/fire station were often called in to help students learn to negotiate their differences while traveling in the Hallway Highway System of Thornton High School. Usually, this was a very effective method, with the substantial policemen's yearn of helping to regulate traffic. Also, the policemen and women's methods of drinking coffee from starbucks while eating many donuts and yelling at the students also appeared to have been extremely effective. Soon students started settling differences in their own ways: If a student happened accidentally meander into the opposite lane, whomever was in the opposing lane would quickly pull over, making sure of course to use their turn signals, and checking both ways often for oncoming traffic. Settling these differences would be accomplished through one of two methods: fighting, or an attempt at semi-reasonable logic. Of course, as is well known, semi-reasonable logic was the loser's way out, for wimps who didn't know anything, and placed their hope far too far in those great ideas. Therefore, the only reasonable way to settle a difference was to duke...

...Decision-Making Process Robin R. Fowler MGT/230 January 26, 2012 Patricia Lott Decision-Making Process In March of 2005, I received an email from Classmates.com. As I opened this email, I found that my high school sweetheart was looking for me. Never in a million years did I think that answering this email would change have a long-term effect on my life as well as my sons. Steve and I exchanged many emails and talked every single day for the first month. We both decided to see where this adventure may lead. In April of 2005, Steve boarded a plane in Oakland, CA, and landed in Amarillo, TX. We were so excited to see each other that we spent the few days we had catching up. We had both been married and both were still going through the pain of our divorces. He had no children from his marriage and I had a son. He owned his own home, and my father owned mine. He worked in construction and I worked in the financial industry. We still had a lot of chemistry between each other, and we felt like old friends again. It was very had to see him leave; it was like a part of me was going with him. Over the course of the next few months, we both had enough airline miles for both of us to have free tickets! We talked about making our relationship permanent and maybe one or the other could move. We weighed our options back and forth for a few more weeks. What would be best for all three of us? It was settled, I would be moving, because it made...

...Elizabeth T. Gonzales English 125 29 January 2013 High School vs College Education is the process of learning and acquiring information, which can be delivered from teachers to students in an educational institution like High school and college, where an excellent education is offered, but they also can have various similarities and differences. To begin, there are many similarities like both are educational institutions assisted by teachers, who evaluate the students by tests and homework, also they have libraries and computer laboratories to help the students to improve their learning activities, however they both can demand time and effort to be successful in them. On the other hand, High school and college have differences, like High school is mandatory and free of charge, but at college the student needs to pay tuition unless he or she is qualified with a grant or scholarship, also in college the student has more freedom to choose the curriculum and pace of study with not set lunch hours, while in High school everything is regimented and told what to do. Finally, students are from different ages at college and can obtain a higher level degree than in High school which most of them are basic general education. In conclusion, even though High school and college can be very different, there are still similarities they share like High school prepares the student for college and college is a mature way of High school and both are educational institutions where the...

...Issues Surrounding the Graduation Rate for African American Males The American educational system is generally regarded as one of the better education systems in the world. Currently, there is much national discussion about the state of the American educational system and how it can be improved. While these discussions include students from head start to doctoral programs, there is a smaller group of students whose circumstances are exceptionally dire and go largely un-discussed. African American males have one of the highest dropout rates in the United States. This is so because African American males face significantly more obstacles in receiving a high school diploma. The main factors that contribute to African American high school males dropping out are: poverty, bad school, and family breakdown (Crouse, 2010). Conversely, there are factors that contribute to African American males graduating from high school such as culturally sensitive curricula and positive Black male role models. Understanding the scope of the contributing factors surrounding the high school graduation rate of African American males paints a picture of what it means to be Black and male in the American education system. Poverty is a contributing factor to the low high school graduation rate of African American males. "Positioning Young Black" states that 36 percent of Black children live in poverty and: In many areas, Black Americans are segregated in minority communities where children are more likely...

...Education Options for High School Level Students The learning process differs dramatically for many teenage students. Students are faced with new responsibilities and an adjustment phase coming out of middle school. There is a new workload placed on high school students. Some teenagers are more than able to keep up with the academics in high school and have a need to be more challenged. While other students fall behind and may need extra help. There are many types of education options for all types of students. Private schools may deem an option for a student who wants to achieve higher level of education than that of a public school. While a continuation school may be needed for that high school student who may not graduate in time. There are also options for students who may have broken the law and need a more structured environment to learn in. Education options for high school level students are very important and each play a role in creating a different learning environment tailored to a specific student. Private schools supply a unique learning environment that may benefit a student in many ways, but there are some requirements that must be met first. A private school requires a tuition cost be paid in order for the student to attend. Students are also some times required to test into the school. These tests are given to assess the students academic ability and to make sure he or she is able to keep up with the in depth curriculum. Parents and students may have many...

I’ve learned that if you don’t set goals you want to accomplish then you settle. I’m not one to settle, instead I want to strive to be the very best I can be. I have learned I have to give at least 100 percent to reach where I want to go. Setting mini goals along the way to reach the biggest goals I have in life.

...Brandon Matott Violence in Hockey High school is a time filled with drastic change and many choices to be made. During this time, many students will choose to play a high school sport, a very popular one being ice hockey. It’s no secret that hockey is a physical sport, and this is why many teenage boys are attracted to it. Typically though, a student who chooses to play ice hockey at the high school level is not new to the game. In most cases they began the game at an age of any where from 5 to 9, and soon after started participating in travel leagues that compete in as many as 100 games per season (Burge). As a direct result of the intense lifestyle players are forced to adapt to at such a young age, one of two things will happen; either a ‘burnout’ occurs and a total loss of interest for the sport takes over, or an intense life-long love for it develops (Burge); this love is often shared with parents and fans as well. As a player matures and begins to play in more high-caliber leagues, the physicality and hectic atmosphere of the games increase. This, like any physical sport does often present the scenario of fisticuffs and other unnecessary violence, but it has been confirmed that hockey does have the most fights out of any major sport (SingerNet). While teams frequently are involved in violence on the ice, it is not completely unheard of to hear of fans participating in violence in the stands as well; especially in non professional levels of hockey where a large majority...

...Feb 26 Is it too soon to talk about boy/girl relationships in elementary school? Of course it is, you say! Well, you may not want to hear about it, or you may choose denial over reality, but the fact remains that children are playing out the cultural role that they are being taught as early as 2nd grade. Therefore, the relationship between boys and girls at every school (Christian and non- Christian) is a topic that needs to be discussed from a Biblical standpoint. Recently I have observed an increase in the level of interaction between some of the boys and girls at the elementary school level with the boyfriend/girlfriend relationship in mind. There have been some phone calls made and notes passed, and yet nothing really serious has happened. Even so, the fallout from this kind of interest and behavior has been clearly seen, as some of the kids are rejecting others, breaking off friendships, and making “who likes whom” a focus of attention. The pattern becomes more sophisticated as it continues in the middle school years and is in full bloom by the time the children hit high school. I would like to attempt to persuade you that the elementary level of “who likes whom,” and the middle school level of “who is going out with whom,” are not simply innocent and cute stages of life through which everyone must go. As informed Christians professing to glorify the Lord in all things, we need to see if any of this behavior brings glory to God and evaluate the effects of it on our kids...
