My experience with Buckhorn High School has been great! Every year of being there was filled with fun times and sometimes also hardships, but with the help of classmates, teachers, and staff it was nothing we couldn't overcome. At Buckhorn i have learned and grown at my own speed and now i feel more than prepared to start another chapter at The University of Alabama.
In Buckhorn High, I've always enjoyed coming to school to see my friends and favorite teachers, and always acknowledged every one of them. While the year is stressful from academic stress, the teachers there are often at the ready to assist you in anything you need help in. Plus, the college preparatory classes are excellent for the most part and offer stimulating lessons in preparation for the AP Exams. However, I would like to see the senior counselor there to be more forward with college applications or scholarships, or even ACT information for colleges.
High school life. Probably the happiest time of our lives. Many may consider their college lives to be the best, but to me high school is better, because it has more fun and less workload. It marks the time when we have just shed our baby skins and we are coming into our bodies. We are young adults now. Our bodies are going through a series of changes.
Sporting events were the highlights of the high school life. Everything came to a standstill when a sporting action was to take place in our school. Everyone, including parents, teachers, students and friends would show up to cheer our sports teams. The shouts, the cheers, and the sighs and all the noise you can think of all brought into one place.
One of the worst things about high school life is that everyone has to conform to some peer pressure. This can be attributed to the fact that everyone wants to belong somewhere and feel loved by others. At this age, peer pressure can either be beneficial or detrimental to students.
