Hello!
As the
new term rolls around here at Kennedy high school, I’ve noticed people slacking
more and more. Perhaps it’s because people are realizing that it’s third term
and they’re loosening their belts in preparation for the long summer vacation
ahead. Perhaps it’s because students are naturally losing steam after trying
hard for the past two terms. Whatever it is, it’s happening. This can lead to
the assumption that grades during third term are not as good as grades during
first and second terms, a fact that has been agreed upon by everyone I’ve
asked.
This
leads to the topic of “senioritis.” This is when people, specifically seniors,
lose interest in school towards the end of their high school career. Although
this is pretty normal, it can also be very detrimental to their high school
experience. In all of my recent conversations with college admissions officers,
they’ve said that they look at a variety of things, but one aspect that they
carefully evaluate is an applicant’s senior year. If a student slacks off their
senior year, admissions officers say it is a sign that this student will not be
as well suited to the college experience as a student that works diligently
throughout their high school experience. So the experts recommend not slacking
off, what a surprise. Really, though. If you want to pursue your education in
an institution for higher learning, you should probably not screw around your
senior year. Use common sense and I’m sure you’ll come out fine.
