Some people who I researched would be accepted in this school. Even though West Hancock has a lot of bright individuals, the other portion of students are awfully rude. Teenagers not only judge others by their appearance but also criticize others by their personality, and if a poor child with tree bark skin came to our school, nobody would accept him. The world’s tallest man, after looking over all the cases that I have researched, has the highest chance of being accepted in our high school. People that pick on others might be afraid to mess with him due to his height, his feet, and his hands. If the world’s smallest man came to our school, it would be a completely different story.

The Early College High School (ECHS) model is an innovative concept that allows a predominantly low-income, first-generation minority student population obtain a high school diploma, an associate’s degree, and a baccalaureate degree in six years. The blending of instructional approaches of a traditional high school with those of a two-year college enables ECHS students to reduce the time it takes to earn a baccalaureate degree by two years. As a result, graduates of this model obtain a high school diploma and associate 's degree in four years. The associate degree credits (about 60 hours) are then transferred to a four-year university, where the ECHS student is automatically considered a junior in college, and is able to graduate with a baccalaureate

Open campus high school helps improve student behavior. “Research shows that teen drug use and other dangerous behavior is highest between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. - the unsupervised hours between the end of school day and the time parents get home from work” (Merino 89). The mistakes or little flaws of a few students should not affect the students who did not do anything wrong (Saslow). At Frankfort High School some city school leaders hope that reviving open campus will better connect students with their community (Schanding).

What will it take for me to be successful in high school is hard work, determination, and concentration. What I mean by this is I will do my to not only pass in high school but succeed and overachieve. I want this because I'll never like to be second and that includes high school to. I believe that second is never remembered and don't get the same opportunity as a person in first so that motivates me to do my best. This means that in high school I have to learn how to adapt to that environment especially since I'm expected to be a student athlete which is going to be two times harder but it will work out if I learn how to manage myself and require zero tolerance, now what I mean by this is that I'm going to have to step up to another level, I have to stay focus on my work and football.
