Some would say high school are some of the hardest years of your life. It’s when things start looking at colleges, figure out what you want to do with your life. You don’t get to choose if you can skip a class or not, classes are mandatory. In high school, you start to get a taste of real responsibility. Middle school and elementary was too easy, but in high school you have more…

High school is a different experience for everyone. The first three years really blend together and do not seem important, but senior year is completely different. Freshman year was full of confusion, learning an array of new things. Sophomore year was where life started to get fun and you “belonged” in the high school. Junior year was where you see the little light at the end of the tunnel, but it was filled with anxiety and frustration. Senior year is where it all becomes worth it and the rest of your life is finally going to begin.…
Are you going into middle school? Are you intimidated by the older kids and larger homework loads? Well don’t worry because I’ve already been through it and as long as you follow the tips in this guide you’ll be just fine. Middle school is difficult but it's also exciting. When you’re in middle school your worldviews change, everything you thought you knew about school is questioned. Everything and everyone seems different no matter how familiar they are. All these drastic changes can be overwhelming for new students but, the most important thing to remember is that is isn’t as scary as you think it is. If you form good study skills, learn how to be social, and follow my personal advice I promise that you will make it through middle school.…
I would like to start off by saying that when I started highschool, I hated it. 6 am is too early to be waking up to school, especially for teenagers who are not only growing, but also participating in extracurricular activities and working jobs. 3 more years of high school after 9th grade seemed grating and almost unattainable; how could I possibly go through another 3 years of bullies, social hierarchies, and meaningless drama all the while waking up before the sun? Well, there aren't many options for people without high school diplomas, I only saw 2: live fast and die you or maxing out at 35k for the rest of your life. No thanks. The main thing that kept me going was the fact that after this, ‘ll never have to do highschool again, I believe high school is a social torture that one unfortunately has to go through to prove that they are…
PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…

When I was younger I always thought that I would just wake up one day and I would be “grown up”, by grown up I don’t mean a certain age or height, but a time in your life when you have to be older and more mature than the people below you, to set a good example for them. That day never really seemed to come, even though I was the same age as some of my childhood heroes like Nick Freer, Steve Hicks and Shane Teirney when they were covering the front page of the Herald Palladium, I didn’t feel like what they looked like when I was younger, at least not until a couple of months ago. I was going to basketball after school just like every other day last spring and after we shot for a little bit and then we chose teams for a few open gym games, and a seventh grader that I had never seen before was picked and ended up being on my team. I had never seen this kid before so I went over and asked him what his name was and he said “Conner” and so I introduced myself only to be given a look of dumbfoundedness, at first I wasn’t sure why but then Conner said “well everyone knows who you are”. I was taken back again and then realized how big of a deal going to the Breslin was, not just for everybody on my team, but for every young “Michael Welch” out there who ever idolized the players of a great team. After feeling incredibly cocky and good about myself I started to realize what a responsibility and privilege it was to have a large group of young boys looking up to me and trying to be “like Mike”. It is a responsibility because I have to set a good example for all those kids who would probably rather do what is say or do than what their own parents might say or do just as I would have done when I was younger. That is why it can be such a dangerous thing to be the idol of a child, because any temper tantrum or practical joke I do is a good example for that kid to do the same. Even though I may think that It’s okay for me but not for that kid or that I’m old enough to do something…

High school is something everyone has been waiting since elementary school. I know I have. The anticipation built up– from K-6, middle school, and the first day of high school. Little did I know, that high school life isn't all that great. High school can easily be described as a roller coaster.…

This online scholarly journal focuses on the use of plastic surgery in trauma services. It breaks down the use of plastic surgery for different procedures resulting from trauma related accidents. It highlights the main points of what plastic surgeries are used most and least often and the types of complications that can occur. This source is useful because it supplies me with factual information on what types of plastic surgery are used in traumatic events verses normal plastic surgery procedures people go through. This source is up…
They say, it is the most beautiful stage of life a student could have, and indeed it is. But, it always depends on how one sees it. Each one of us has his/her own story. As for me, my high school life intensely molded me: into a dreamer. It is something I cherish, thanks to it. Without dreams, I would die in vain. High school life turned me into someone who is an avid; avid in a good way.…
