...Every once in awhile life has to shut certain doors for us, because a lot of the time we won’t move on unless we are forced to do so. The past 4 years of High School have made me grow up and realize how harsh people can be. I've learned many subjects that I won't use at all in my future however I have also acquired skills that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I've gained a better view on how fake people act in school compared to outside of school, i've lost friends that chose partying and hoeing around over my friendship and i've witnessed teachers pick favorites and gossip just as bad as the kids. Now that i'm moving on to the next chapter of my life i want to leave with a few tips: Never ever let your pride get in the way of your...

...Moving on to high school was mind blowing. Coming to high school as a freshman was tough. When I was in the eighth grade, I thought it would be simple an easy but I was wrong.

...spent wisely. It is definitely a life changing event that morphs a child into a young adult, experiencing the real world. Moving away to college is what helps people mature because a person is isolated from the world they once knew and are experiencing what it is like to be free of any rules.

...remember spending many of nights having family dinners and study time for my little brother, my father, and me. Both of my parents worked over time every week at different factories. That is why my father and mother made sure to push how important an education was going to be for our futures. My family is the most important thing to me in my life but it took years for me to remember that again. The Younger Years To help form my mind around how I wanted to be when I grew up I always looked towards my family. My father never made it past third grade growing up in Mexico and working on the ranch with his family. My mother is the youngest after eight boys who were raised in Puerto Rico in a small poverty-stricken neighborhood where she went to school and took care of the house with her mother.

...Laura throneberry Mrs. Aguilar Dual Credit English September 9, 2013 Life’s Unexpected Changes Moving away from all of your best friends can be a real tragedy in a sixteen-year-old teenagers life. It's hard to get up and go thousand miles away from everyone you know and everything you grew up around. I had this happen to me not once, but twice. Moving from Houston to Orlando then to Waco was the largest change I have ever had to adjust to in my life. It wasn't the changes around me that I was bothered by; it was that I did not know one living soul for hundreds of miles and all I wanted was a friend. I had two days left of summer before my junior year, at my beloved private school in Orlando, started. My dad tried to explain to me that we would be moving to a town in “The Heart of Texas” called Waco. I honestly thought that he was just joking with me, but he continued to tell me about how he had an awesome opportunity there. At that point the only thing I knew about Waco was that Baylor and a crazy cult was there resided there. My dad then told me that I would get to stay the rest of the semester in Florida, but we would be moving the day after Christmas. I was devastated, I ran to my room and cried for about an hour with thoughts of all my friends running through my head. I had only just moved to Orlando a year ago, but now it was my home! I had cheer, lacrosse, and all my best friends. I couldn’t comprehend how they could move me again. I was being selfish and...

Providing vouchers that promoted moving and providing assistance to those that are interested in moving could benefit them by taking up the slack that maybe an option for the person to move and provide better for themselves, without the immediate worry of not being able to make ends meet before actually having the job that they need to survive. This topic relates to our conversations in class because we were basically in the process of understanding how some of the government funding programs were are a benefit to those persons that are not afford healthcare or being discriminated against in receiving healthcare, just to name a few. I think that it’s first necessary to establish the meaning of unemployment benefits and how it is distributed among those that are in need.

...made it their duty to make sure that my brother and I knew that we were not at fault. Through it all I kept moving forward because I knew there was no point to dwell in the past, so I continued to make straight A’s in all of my classes and that is when I found out that I wanted to become a doctor. I wanted to have the ability to heal others. A few years later when I was in the sixth grade my mother decided to remarry and we were to move to North Carolina.

...Beginning college studies is like starting an entirely new life. One would think that college was simply an academic extension of high school, but that is far from the truth. The commencement of one life marks the end of another life. It is a time where the previous life of a high schooler ceases to exist, and is replaced by a different world. In fact, the major changes a student goes through are more indicative of growing up than they are of getting smarter. The following paragraphs explore some of the differences student face when moving on from high school to college. Often, students nearing their high school graduation wonder what new challenges will be waiting for them in college. When the days of college finally arrive, they realize that these challenges are major and will alter their lives forever. From the first semester, right from the start, the college freshman notices a drastic difference in terms of personal freedom. For one thing, most college students do not continue to live with their parents. College is a time when the former high schooler develops a greater level of independence. The student grows and matures, moves her belongings and finds a new place to live. Sometimes, she finds a roommate, someone who is not a member of the family. Moving doesn't just have to be leaving the home in search of a new one. Sometimes students make an even bigger transition than simply leaving the house. In the United States it is very common for students to leave their home...

...The Phases Of A Turtle In High School "My favorite animal is the turtle. The reason is that in order for the turtle to move, it has to stick its neck out. There are going to be times in your life when you’re going to have to stick your neck out. There will be challenges and instead of hiding in a shell, you have to go out and meet them." I'd say this quote best described our "first day of High School jitters" four years ago when we entered into the next phase of our lives, otherwise known as Bethlehem Catholic. Like a turtle, we began our freshman year inside of our shells. None of us knew what to expect in High School besides the rumor of "the pool on the third floor". All of the girls walked into homeroom with skirts that reached their knees and the boys were all cleanly shaven (if they even had facial hair yet). That first day was crucial for the rest of high school because it determined what clique you were a part of, what classes you would take for your next four years, and what your peers would think of you....
