- 381: My Personal Experiences With Math
- ... numbers was easier for me than learning how to read and write. With those two subjects I have struggled all my life but math just came to me. Math was the only subject in elementary school that I could really apply myself to and find some sense of achievement. My early interest in math is the one thing that has stuck with me throughout my educational background and has laid the foundation toward my future. I always liked math the most of all my subjects in school but I never imagined it as my choice of major in college. I was not really a student who enjoyed school at all. I guess you could almost say that I despised school. I was just one of those kids who hated to get up in the mornings and school just wasn't a good ...

Similar to Angelouˇ¦s experience, many minority and poor performance students are underserved by the present academia. Without teachersˇ¦ guidance, deficient students are unable to absorb new knowledge and to get involve in the college communities. These factors create an intimidating learning environment that would eventually cause them to drop out of school.

Also, they will provide full tuition, books, and fees to any technical institute in the state of Georgia. That sounds like a whole lot of incentive for young adults to make a 'B' average in school.

- 386: Private Schools
- ... choice also produces competition with public schools for student enrollment. This position views public schools as something a student must accept as the only option if his or her parents can not afford a private school education. This is an obvious short coming to private schools, since they do not operate on the taxpayers' funds. However, some private schools do provide scholarships to poorer families. However, one distinct advantage of private schools is their abilities to satisfy their students' special needs. A military academy, for example, provides the strict discipline that some students need. Basically, a private school works for the students' desires, while a public school demands that its students work for their designated needs.

- 388: Graduation Speech
- ... Speech It is a privilege to be here to speaking tonight to the Class of 1998. As I thought of what I should speak about tonight, I tried to think about "What would a high school graduating senior want to hear?" I believe the first and foremost thing they want to hear tonight is their name over the PA, and walk across the stage to receive their diploma. Secondly, I think they would want to hear about the tremendous job that they have done in their 4 years here at Columbia City High School. Finally, I think they would want to hear something about what is getting ready to happen to them. I will do my best this evening to accomplish those things. Your name will soon be called ... other than to come to the attendance office to explain why you were absent yesterday.
