After high school I plan to pursue a career in the music buisness, more specifically as a recording engineer. There are various reasons for my decision, but three of the most important one are; I'm very involved in music now, I have found a good music school which I am looking into, and I know there are a lot of opportunities for people with a recording engineer degree. First of all, my stepbrother introduced me to music at an early age. It was at about the age of 12 my stepbrother would always listen to rock music and play his guitar along to his favorite songs. He had been trying to teach me for a long time how to play the guitar, but I just could not get the hang of it. Later, my

every student will agree that competition intensifies during our high school years. Often, we see each other as rivals and competitors as we struggle to express our various talents and gifts that will most likely give us an advantage over our peers. Daily, we young people are tempted to compromise our morality in order to make competitive progress. Our challenge no longer lies in identifying what to do but rather what not to do. In the natural, how are we supposed to identify right from wrong when our egocentric society dictates that, "The end justifies the means"? As competition continues to gain strength over morality, it seems that it is entwining itself into morality.As we journey

In high school social groups were formed based on different styles of fashion trends.

The Breakfast Club 1 Over the weekend, I watched The Breakfast Club directed by Oliver Stone. It had a great cast, which included famous actors such as Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, and Alley Sheedy. Each actor and actress had his or her own personality in this movie. Because of this great cast and the role each one played, I found this movie to be sensational. From what I was told about this movie from friends that have seen it before, the high school that the movie was filmed at really existed in the 1980's. There were thousands of students that attended that school. Much of what the movie was based on dealt with the lives of five different

Freedom of knowledgeEducation has been around since the beginning of time. In the beginning knowledge was passed down by the elders. As humans developed, education became more formal. In the United States today, a child is required to go through thirteen years of formal education inside a classroom. After he graduates, the young adult must decide whether or not he wishes to attend college. If he decides to attend college, it will cost between $4,000 and $26,000 a year depending on what courses are available and the quality of the school. If the high school graduate decides he does not want to go to college, he will most likely be working a minimum wage job for the rest of his life. There

The aspect this education paper is referring to is the education of youth. The public school systems around the United States, especially in Florida are awful. The school systems for the most part just want more and more money and since the government doesn't give them what they want the school system just cuts back on whatever they think is expendable. Besides the money issue, schools are letting people become teachers that are not even close to qualified for a position of such responsibilities. One more thing is how a substitute teacher doesn't need any experience in the field they are subbing for and all one needs to be a substitute is a high school diploma, meaning these
