High School is About the Education by Molly - November 2014 Scholarship Essay

As many to refer to as the 'best years of your life', the high school experience is completely up to the students in what direction it will go. Many graduates know that high school is not the best years, but also not the worst years; during high school students are able to be fairly responsibly free, and able to focus on school and fun. After high school is when the reasonability kicks in; more serious jobs are obtained, education is furthered, and life goes on. Ultimately, it does not matter where you were the star quarterback or never attended a football game. The life proceeding high school are where the best experiences take place, and outside of the walls of the school there are millions of opportunities waiting for you if you achieve the education you are meant to in high school. It is okay to unpopular, and it is okay to be popular. High school, college, and life is all about balance and to find to perfect balance you have to create a balancing act of school work, extra curriculars, and future planning.

In school, school work always is suppose to comes first. However, many students are not strictly students; students play sports, students have jobs, students join clubs, students sometimes just want to rest. Students work around all other things in life to get school work done. As a student athlete myself I know the struggle of coming home after a game and having math assignments to finish, or essays to write. It's not the thing you want to do when you get home after a hard game. However, my advice to all the students who have busy schedules and sometimes less motivation is to just complete the work. Completion is better than perfection sometimes. What I mean by this is for the nights that you do not get home until 10-10:30 and are tired, it can be okay to just get it done rather than make it perfect. The only way to fail a class is to not to the homework. If you do the homework you will have more points in the gradebook, as well as a better understanding of the material. And, if it is a harder class the homework points can save you from the missed points on tests that are harder for you. In all, do the homework, I promise you will pass and understand the content better.
