Yes. I graduated from the Texans Can Academy, an alternative high school for at-risk students. My level of preparation upon graduation was subpar. Since college was never part of my plans I never took an SAT or ACT. Throughout high school I was learning a foreign language and adapting to a new culture all while learning the required material in grade school.
When attending week 5 small group session we collectively shared our media pleasures with each other this helped me compare and contrast my paper with my peers. As we shared I realized that my guilty media pleasure related to many of my peers. There were two girls in particular that I related to. The first girl I talked to named Jenna guilty media pleasure is Broadway productions. Jenna Identified her taste culture as being the typical sorority girl would usually listen to mainstream pop music.
The Journal For Conquering Middle School The time had come for me to become a 6th grader. It would definitely be a difficult transition for me going to a brand new place with hulking monsters known to everyone as the eighth graders. Going to middle school would mean that I would have to meet new people from other elementary schools and that I could possibly lose my old friends. I really wanted to stay behind in elementary school where everything seemed so predictable and friendly.
My Vision For America 's Youth would be to help stop bullying and make a difference in the world . A challenge I want to address would be to help start a chain reaction to stop bullying . A chain reaction is something that happens when one person does something and it influences others and causes them to join in . In October of 2015 I recently experienced a very serious and emotional assembly at my school .
Introduction My field of study is Electronic Media and Communication. This is a major that is designed to train innovative, responsible storytellers in convergent media forms who can create, analyze and compete in diverse U.S. and global media marketplaces. This program offers a variety of professional courses in electronic media, visual communications, videography, digital media, photography and writing. I will mainly be focusing on videography because I want to pursue a career as a video producer or video editor.
After awhile I started to realize that life was all about meeting new people and making new friends. And if I’m shy it’s going to make it ten times worst. So I started talking to more people and making friends with them. When I meet new people now I’m less shy now. I used to be scared to talk to new people and get a different job because I didn’t know anyone but now I’m more open and more outgoing than I ever thought I would be.
In 1980, at the age of seventeen, I had been your typical teenager always making an irrational decision. Just about the time of my anticipated graduation, me and two other classmates decided to embark on our newly-found freedom from school by smoking some weed. I suggested we stay on campus and use one of the empty rooms. At this point, my thinking was self-serving—I was egocentric dominating. I convinced my classmates to stay on school grounds to smoke weed; I told them it was okay,
I have changed in high school the way that in middle school I really don’t like to be involved in any sports or even in student council, from last year I really don’t like any of those things, but now in high school is different. Now in high school I liked to be involved in something for example: sports. In high school is different because the way people changed. I remember when I was in middle school I just care about doing homework and don’t check about my grades, but now in high school I care about my grades and that I’m passing all my classes with a good grade. In middle school they give you an extra work to pass the class, but in high school they just give you the work and that’s it, they don’t give you an extra work to pass the class.
My Collapse and Restitution When people see me walking through the halls of school, or walking down the street they may see me as an underachiever, or even a slacker; if they had seen me last year or the year before perhaps they would have been right. My Freshman and Sophomore year I struggled to pass many of my classes. I had begun to give up on anything school related for the purpose of "enjoying my youth while I still could". Back in November of my Freshman year my Uncle Gary passed away suddenly of a heart attack which made me begin to realize the importance of living a full life and doing what is important to you. To tell the truth, I despise the idea of becoming someone who works in an office for the entirety of their life in a dead
Middle school story So it all started on the day I became a middle schooler It had been while since I had made contact with any of my friends for the past three years and it was weird to see them again for the first time and it was weirder seeing them at my bus stop and it was awkward at first then I got on the bus. And soon the day was to begin and I made some friends on the bus and I still am friends with to this day.
The generation I am placed in gets judged in many ways by our elders or the generations before us. The reason this is so, is because of the rather ignorant or idiotic decisions we make. Some might even say this is the worst generation. There are many ideas floating around in peoples heads that vary from on the way we dress, the music we listen to, etcetera. I am an example that everything they contemplate about us isn’t true.
As I grew, school became an outlook where I could focus and where I felt like I fit in. I always worked well with others and various skill sets. I loved children my age and younger while constantly craving adult relationships with those around me. It wasn’t until after my tenth birthday when my life began to shift.
Throughout my life, I remained in a shy bubble where pushing myself from my comfort zone did not exist. Prior to my sophomore year of high school, I did not join any clubs, take upon leadership position, or go to school activities. The reason being was I relied on my friends therefore if they did not join a club, I would not either. I realized I was missing out on an abundance of activities because I was relying on people who could potentially not be by side at some point. Therefore I burst my own shy bubble and took upon a new adventure that would benefit me in the future.
The social media fast we just completed in LA was a very interesting experience for me. As someone who doesn’t have a Twitter account, or spend hours a day on Instagram, I didn’t think that it would have a huge effect on me. When we started the social media fast, I knew that it would be easy for me because I don’t regularly spend time on Instagram or Twitter, so I decided to limit myself even more so I could see a bigger difference. I decided that I wouldn’t use Instagram, GroupMe, or Pinterest, and I also decided to turn off notifications for Snapchat, so I wouldn’t spend all day checking and responding to snapchats. I was surprised at how much it affected me, especially because I was able to get through all 4 days.
I just love the new era of technology. I t just makes life so much easier and better, or is Technology more of a drawback ? Even though technology is alnmost flawless it still lets users down and in the most inconvinient moments. Since we are sometimes so dependent on technology its failure can be such a heavy hit on a person. It is almost guranteed that when technology fails us its going to hit us hard in our hearts and hard in our pockets.
