¶ … high school, the way it used to be and the way it is now. My high school has changed since I graduated, and it doesn't seem for the better.
My high school seemed huge while I attended it, but for some reason it doesn't seem so big or imposing any more. Maybe it's because my college campus is bigger, and was more daunting on the first couple of days of classes. I think it's because my high school has changed, and one of the reasons it seems smaller is because it is now more closed and less welcoming. Without the fence, the school seemed to be my friend, but now, I'm clearly not welcome, and so I feel like an enemy.
When I attended high school, vandalism wasn't a problem. The campus was open, and other than a fence surrounding the entire field and parking lots, the buildings were open and accessible too. My school had a good feel to it, safe, but welcoming at the same time. Now, an iron security fence separates the buildings from the street. Although they painted it in the school colors, it is still ugly, imposing, and unwelcoming. It makes my high school seem very different, and it makes me sad to see it. I remember the good times in high school, but the fence brings out the bad memories, like the fights after school, the

Twain's essay "Two Views of the River" also shows how people feel differently as time passes, and Twain attempts to show what people learn from time and experience. My high school taught me just about everything I knew in my short life, but that didn't last long. As soon as I graduated, I was learning new things, even before I started attending college. I learned about freedom, about responsibility, and about moving on with my life. As a high school senior, I was the "top of the heap." Starting out in college reminds you you're back at the bottom, and there's nowhere to go but up! I think I have learned some humility since high school, but I also think that simply comes from growing older, and learning more about the world around you. The world can never look the same as…

I had a crush of my own during high-school, but I knew that she was beyond my league. Jessica was probably the most beautiful girl in the school and she was a senior (I was a sophomore at the time). I wrote her the most beautiful poem that I could possibly think of and I hoped that this would show her that I was actually different from the other guys.
In this case the educational institutions will need to provide access to student records to evaluate how well students performed when they attended test preparation vs. when they did not attend test preparation classes. Much as the researcher proposes, Henze & Lucas (1993) predict it is possible to "shape" classroom instruction and test preparation courses to promote greater success and mastery of language among high school students (p. 54). The
As can be deduced from the examples in section one, these causative theories include the taking of drugs, as well as immature emotional responses and the influence of the media in the portrayal of images of violence that are accepted by the larger culture. Another factor is the relative accessibility of weapons. While these factors form part the main causative theories, they all tend to indicate that the root
Sometimes the line was rather vague and athletes endorsed violence as a legitimate response." (Miracle, 92) Sports promote violence because physically harming opponents is a natural part of the game, and just increasing the amount of harm enough to disable them is always a seductive option to losing. This promotion of violence would not be true if students would just play for fun -- no one would remain friends with
