This poem was written in June of 1992, as our Sanford, Maine, high school Class of 1957 reunion was approaching. When I was sending in our reservations, I was inspired to write this poem and include it, not knowing what, if anything, would be done with it. When I got to the reunion, my poem was framed and displayed on the front table. SHS Class of 1957 35th Reunion Here it is, that time again. For this Reunion number ten, Fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five? No! Good grief! It's thirty-five! I

Memphis vs Dallas Even though four hundred and fifty miles separate Memphis and Dallas, there are as many differences as there are similarities. Both Memphis and Dallas have pluses and negatives to living in them. A couple important things that are thought about when moving to one of these cities are the traffic, recreational things to do, and the cost of living. All three play important roles and directly affect the lives of those who live there. There are as many differences between Memphis and

“The word fat makes people uncomfortable. But when you see me, the first thing you notice is my body… [And] that’s me. I’m fat. It’s not a cuss word. It’s not an insult. At least not when I say it.” (9).This is the closing line in chapter 1 of the novel Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy. This novel delves into the topic of accepting oneself and the skin they are in and not letting others tell you differently, as shown by Willow’s relationships and experiences in the novel. Through her relationships and experiences

opinion I think that’s why Mr. Keating is a great teacher, because it’s the way he teaches. His teaching is not boring, it seems that the environment is really energetic, he doesn’t put too much stress or pressure on the students. If I were in his class it would be an honor, because it doesn’t seem that stressful even though it’s a private

enough, I have always had math classes first thing in the morning, which has ruined my comprehension of the subject from a young age. In the mornings, I can 't focus, and I 'm still groggy. I have never been able to learn as well as other students in class because of this issue. The test was really important, and so a lot was on the line this time around. I knew I had to try my hardest, and I hoped it would pan out for me in the end. The teacher began handing out the tests, twirling around the room

first time. I felt at the end of the semester I learned a lot about this technique but I felt that I had a lot of room to still investigate with this unfamiliar technique. I felt what helped me bring this technique back in to my body was talking as a class about the important aspects of Limón technique. Being reminded of the important aspects such as the swinging of arms and legs, weight in your arms, legs and pelvis as well as the curve in the torso. I felt it took me a few days to get Limón technique

like him too, but I wasn 't motivated enough. Throughout the term, I often missed classes, it became my normal because my teacher did not even notice, if I was in class or not, because I had to attend my special class. I saw how my grades plump down so hard to a D- in Science, just because I made an average effort and I missed so much class time. I remembered seeing my grades, C 's and D 's, it was a burden, pushing down on my

Cultural Geography. I am doing well in Biology because I have a 100% in that class. The reason why I have a 100% in that class is because I have done all of my assignments and I have turned them in on time. I am not missing any assignments in that class. I will continue doing the same thing so my grade won't go down. I will try my best to always stay on task and listen to the teacher and do all of my work. Another class I am doing well in is Learning lab, I am trying my best to keep my grade up and

attending class should be mandatory or not. Many argue that as long as the student is doing well on the assignments and understanding the information, he/she should not be required to come to class. There are also many counter-arguments that say that one should be required to come to class no matter what. In his article “‘A’ is for Absent”, Chris Piper wants his audience to believe that attendance should not effect grades due to the fact that if a student can pass without coming to class, he/she

I promised myself that after my first AP class, I would not take any more. Next year comes, and I end up taking three. The final year, I took five. I had to endure many of the hardest classes this school has to offer, and I do not regret my decision to take any of them. It tested the limits to how far my determination will go, refined my problem-solving abilities, and established my goal of being a computer software engineer. Though there are decisions I wish I made, Pleasant Grove High School taught

When students go home after school they should be able to relax right? In an ideal world students should just be able to take there bag off and chill, go out with friends, play video games or go play sports at the park or something right, but no. Nowadays the average high school teenager has to go home, sit down at a table and basically continue school for another two-three hours. We have to do homework almost immediately after school because if we don’t then we will be up until 12 or later doing

Do you think that students should be required to participate in extracurricular activities? I do not think that it should be mandatory for students to participate extracurricular activities. Students are taught to make their own decisions. Extracurricular activities can also create a lot of stress on a student. Some students might not be interested in any of the extracurricular activities that the school has provided. So, students should not be required to participate in extracurricular activities

align with our equity goals and purpose, and it had to be changed.” This is only one school making a tremendous impact on all the daily lives of their students. Also, girls will no longer be used as scapegoats for the boys who are “distracted” during class and are failing. All things considered, it is just a small amount of schools standing up and making the change; however, in time other schools will finally do the right thing for all of their students and correct their student dress

Why Schools Should Keep Dress Codes There has been a long disagreement about dress codes. I am writing to tell you that dress codes should be followed in schools as long as they are not discriminating any group of students by race, gender or religion. You may be persuaded that kids should have their own opinion about what they wear to school, but the truth of the matter is to keep schools a safe environment we need dress codes. This paper shows three reasons why schools should keep dress codes which

As a criminal justice major, I was able to take numerous courses that thoroughly analyzed the many aspects of our country’s prison system. These courses taught me that in a system where oppression is rampant, social injustice will also be prevalent. Particularly, the issues of death by incarceration, racial disparities and the prioritization of punitive measures rather than treatment filled me with an indescribable rage. Consequently, my frustration left me with a sense of disappointment and hopelessness

Current president Barack Obama gives a speech at Wakefield high school in Arlington, Virginia. The main theme is “everyone is equal and have the same opportunities”. Nothing comes easy in life and you have to work hard for it. The intention of the speech is to motivate the American students. Do your homework, take responsibility for your life and take your school seriously. Not only for the purpose of yourself, but also for America’s future. Make students believe in them self and fight for it, whether

Most transformative moments in life can be caused by the smallest of occurrences in life. Often people do not even realize that a pivotal moment in their life is happening. Someone may realize when they are mature enough that there was one special moment during their childhood that ultimately determined their lifelong goal. For others, they probably realized an “aha” moment right when it happened and from then on decided that they knew what they want to accomplish later on. I actually have taken

Cohabitation is not a new phenomenon yet never be old and likely to be more and more popular in modern life. Despite opposing ideas, many people agreed and supposed cohabitation necessary for their lives. When we go to some areas where students rent rooms or houses to live, you can easily see couples live together as young people are now really familiar with cohabitation. Cohabitation is similar to a mathematics operation, it would give out the result but whether it is right or wrong depends on how
