My high school experience.

During my high school experience I have encountered academic struggles, accomplishments, and aspirations. I want to succeed in life and to do this, I have to graduate high school. This would be the easiest start for me to be successful. I want my high school experience to fulfill my goals, but also be enjoyable. So far Early 
College is helping me greatly with this. 

Just like every other student, I have academic struggles. My academic struggles mostly consist of my procrastination. I procrastinate when it comes to subjects that I do not like, such as science. I do not comprehend science very well. That is why I do not enjoy the subject. I find it frustrating that even when I study, I do not comprehend the subject, so when I have an assignment in science, I procrastinate when 
doing it. 

As well as having struggles, I also have accomplishments. Some of these consist of being organized or even simply doing my homework. My favorite subject is English. This is because I love to write, learn more about how to improve my writing. and I love learning new words to include in my writing. I hope these things will make me an excellent writer and help my grade point average and ultimately help me graduate. 

My academic aspirations are my goals. As well as every other caring student, to graduate is a huge goal of mine. In order to have a descent career I must graduate with a descent grade point average. My second aspiration is to have a descent grade point average by the time I graduate. In order to do this, I must study more than I do now, which might be a struggle for me since I like to procrastinate, but compared to freshman year, I have greatly matured which makes me more eager to stop procrastinating. 

I hope to fulfill all of these goals and graduate Early College. This is my most important goal, which of course should be. I want my struggles to become aspirations and my aspirations to become accomplishments. If this happens I should be expecting a happy life ahead of me.

Bullying

Bullying is a problem throughout the lives of teenagers throughout the world. It is becoming something serious and has made many teenagers commit suicide or even take the lives of others. I do not know why people waste their own time to hurt others physically or even mentally. It is extremely unnecessary. I understand that some people do not get along with each other, but they should not do these things to each other. Cyber-bullying is becoming just as serious as any other type of bullying. It is spread throughout social media such as Twitter and Facebook. I find it ridiculous that people would bully another over social media. Even if someone is being bullied online, they can easily "block" the bully and not have to care what that person is saying about them. If they continue to bully, the one being bullied has to either stand up for themselves or inform an adult about what is happening. Honestly, I would not intervene with the conflict, unless the one being bullied is a friend or even acquaintance of mine. If it was a stranger, I would not include myself with the conflict. This is because I do not know the reason why they are being bullied. The only way I would intervene with the strangers conflict is if I see the conflict occurring countless times, then I would tell the bully to stop with the conflicts. Bullying is not right, I would never bully someone, I feel like people do it because they feel as if they are better than the person being bullied. Even if they think this, they are wrong. Everyone has something that they excel at and it is their job to find out what this may be. People should never feel as if they are better than someone. This causes conflicts, such as bullying.

Belongings

If someone buys something or is given something, that object is yours and no one has the right to take that object away. Unless of course, that object is given away. If someone takes something that does not belong to them, the owner of that object should be able to defend themselves and not let there belongings to be taken from them. I would personally fight for anything that is being taken away from me. Even if everyone was assertive, we would still have this problem. This is because some people are more powerful than others or at least view themselves as being more powerful and because of this they feel as if they have more control over others. That is why we have this problem, I do not think people will stop, but that does not mean we can not fight for what is ours.
