...2012 “Going back to College” College is something that most high school seniors look forward to every year. This is an exciting new endeavor that they long for after graduating from high school. Many high school seniors take different paths when they graduate, but few understand the dedication required to achieve their dreams. My views were the same after graduating, but my journey took a much different direction. Originally signing and planning to go to UNCC, I passed up my athletic scholarship for a professional baseball contract with the Detroit Tigers. College was something that I felt could be done at any stage of my life, and my chance to play professional baseball was something that I may never get a chance to do again. I enjoyed every minute of every day that I played, but sometimes I wonder where I would be today if I had passed up that professional contract. Would I have gotten the chance to experience thousands of fans cheering my team on, or the never ending bus trips from city to city ? My eleven years of playing experience taught me the dedication that one must have to achieve a goal that few would attempt. Long hours in the gym, throwing bullpens, and worst of all running. These were just a few of the things I would have to do on a daily basis both in season and out of season. I hate running more than anything but this was required to be a successful pitcher. Reaching my goal of getting to the Major Leagues was all I focused on. College and...

...character trait I have demonstrated at Dansville High School is commitment. Commitment refers to your dedication or devotion to the goal at stake. It makes sense; you need to commit in order to have the drive to follow through. For a goal driven individual like myself, I needed to commit to the hard work of managing my time in order to be successful. I had to balance Dansville classes, Cosmetology at the Capital Area Career Center, and extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, and family functions. Moreover, I needed to commit to my goals within those areas along the way. My driving force...

...possibilities; but it is not how the ring looks that matter but rather, the meaning behind it. Class rings signify the beginning of the end of one’s high school career and transition into college life/ adulthood. When I thought about what to put on my class ring I thought about what meant the most to me in high school. I also thought about classes and groups of interest that helped me get to where I was at that point in school. When it was my turn to create my ring I chose three main things that meant the most to me; the first being the cross in the center of my stone. Believing in God helped me make it through school. When I was transitioning from junior high to high school I felt scared because I did not know what to expect. Coming from a small school into a huge high school was very over whelming I had not been in a school with so many people; I didn’t know and I did not know how to open a locker. Mid-way into my junior year my Grandpa was diagnosed with cancer and my grades began to drop tremendously. I ended up failing chemistry and had to take it again in credit recovery. By the grace of God, I passed chemistry with a C. Unfortunately my Grandpa lost his battle with cancer and passed away two months into my senior year. It took a lot of faith and a lot of prayer just to get me though the rest of my senior year. I just thank God that with him, I pulled though it all and I graduated. The second thing I chose is a symbol for friendship. I didn’t...

...slip for being late. But lingering in the hallways is an imaginary disease embedded only in the senior class. The symptoms are well recognized by the faculty; tardiness, little to no work completed in class, turning in assignments late, and an overall lethargic attitude rapidly spread from student to student as the end of the school year nears. Unfortunately, the repercussions of their actions are not as innocent as some seniors like to believe. Senioritis has short-term as well as long-term damage on their academic attainment such as loss of college acceptance, difficulties with college level classes, lack of desire to further education and a continued apathetic attitude towards the end of any undertaking. To understand why senioritis is so destructive to a senior’s future, it should first be identified. Senioritis is defined as an imaginary syndrome attributed to students nearing the end of high school and college, whose symptoms include laziness, procrastination and apathy toward schoolwork. Towards the end of the senior year of high school, many seniors have already been accepted into colleges, have plans to study a certain area or will already have jobs lined up for them when they graduate high school. Many are so focused on the future that the present is no longer important to them. English class doesn’t hold value to a future car mechanic. Biology is irrelevant to the senior pursuing the dream of being an artist. They have a strong desire to free themselves from the educational...

...with him so I can be good and have fun. I recall almost every weekend playing basketball in the street with our close neighbor Chris. While me attending middle school, at Nazarene Christian School, he went to John Glenn High School with my brother Tim. After Chris moved out of state, I would hardly be out in the streets interacting with other neighbors and friends like most kids. I attended Nazarene since second grade. At that private school, the lowest grade you could be in to play sports was fourth grade. While attending there, I played volleyball and basketball. I was really good and enjoyed basketball more than volleyball. I became a better player as I grew up. I continued to do both sports all the way up in to high school. While attending John Glenn High School in Norwalk, Ca, as a freshman I tried out for the freshman and sophomore team. When I was playing, I was the middle blocker. It was a huge difference from middle school but I enjoyed my season. Our team was better than the varsity and junior varsity squad, even though our varsity made it to CIF. The following year I moved up to junior varsity with my best friend, Mercedes Dorsey, and her aunt, Stephanie Tataulo, as our coach. We had the most crazy, different coach than our freshman year, but we still remained the best team that year. My junior and senior year I was on the varsity team. My first year was the greatest...

...Kevin T. Ellis English 155/Ms. Quinn 26 March 2013 Essay Should Colleges Accept Senior Citizen Student Imagine sitting next to someone’s father or grandmother in a classroom, at first it may feel awkward having a senior age classmate. Later you find they are just well on their subjects both in the classroom and online, and might be someone to consider as a study buddy on a class project. Keep in mind to those older Americans returning to school, the world of the classrooms, can seem both foreign and intimidating. For some senior citizens, taken online courses also eliminate the fear of feeling out of place, where being in a class full of decades-younger students may make them feel, shamed at not having completed their education. Being an online student, they do not have to share their ages or educational background. The flexibility of online courses is also beneficial for seniors with ambulation problems, allows them to still work on class assignments from home. When thinking of education and senior citizens that are returning to school with hopes in getting the degree they missed in the past has their families feeling very proud just to think that they're actually taking advantage of the opportunity that the government has given them to go back to school. Younger students are true believers of the fact that no one is ever too old to learn. The older generations, with the disruption of the wars and the increasing financial insecurities, had to take a back seat to the...

...Everyone has goals in their life. Although I cannot speak for everyone, I can definitely say that these goals have made me grow. In a strictly academic lens both my short and long term goals deal with academics. Within my short term goal, I have set myself to graduate from high school while maintaining good grades. Though this seems easy, there is more to it than what the naked eye alone can see. During senior year one must start preparing for graduation and college if one plans to go to college, yet there are other events being held for seniors in celebration of their accomplishments throughout high school. For me this point in life everything becomes difficult due to the transitional phrase people undergo between teenagers to adulthood....

...I'm not the number one student in my class, but I have to always keep improving. Improvement is something extremely important in life, because it shows that you have the courage and dedication to keep pursuing the problem or question that has a solution; it just has to be found. I didn't start high school the smoothest; freshman year, I wasn't aware of how important that year was to me. Now, Senior year, I see how important my time in high school was. I spent my time as if I was still in middle school. Over time, I learned what it meant to commit my time to something important. For example, Soccer, as previously stated in my application; was a very important part of my high school career. How many hours of my week went to soccer? Fifteen hours...

...I started playing tennis when I was a freshman in high school. When I started freshman year, I had no experience playing tennis. My goals when joining the team were to improve every day and do my best. My parents always taught me to push myself and to help others reach their potential. I joined the team to meet new people and to try something new. Little did I know, tennis was going to allow me to make some of the greatest memories while in high school. I started on the junior varsity team. My skills weren't the best when I started. I looked up to the seniors on the team at the time because they helped me out when I wasn't familiar with the game. The seniors that I looked up to made me want to have an impact on younger players on my team when...
