Talking ‘bout My Generation

The tributes following troubled singing legend Whitney Houston’s death won’t be the only things by which I will remember the 2012 Grammy Awards. America’s disconcerting reaction to Paul McCartney’s wonderful rendition of The End will also be forever engrained in my memory. “Who’s that... Read more »
East Meck Was Not Born This Way

We tolerate screaming kids at the mall, our friends snoring at sleepovers, and the guy tapping his pencil during exams. We say we tolerate our fellow Eagles – lesbian, Hispanic, people with disabilities – but we need a wake up call. All school year we have been swamped with messages like “people... Read more »

Here’s a reflection: look at your own

Everyone tells you that high school exists to “prepare you for life ahead.” But, I completely disagree. “Life ahead” doesn’t actually start until after college. At least, professional life; on the issue of social life, that starts now. However, I think that there’s another reason why high... Read more »
The Real World: Post East Meck

As I write this, I have 38 days remaining until high school graduation and—as I like to melodramatically refer to it in my mind—the end of an era. Undoubtedly, I will be grateful to desert my daily weekday routine of 6:25 wakeup, scrounging together a lunch, and getting out... Read more »

Senior year is supposed to be some kind of big revelation of what you are going to do for the rest of your life. Finding out where you are going to college for the next four years and what you are planning on majoring in basically determines what you will be doing with your future. Unfortunately, even...

“We prayed for its quick delivery, crossed days off our calendars, counted hours, minutes, and seconds, and now that it’s here, I’m sorry it is because it means leaving friends who inspire me and teachers who have been my mentors – so many people who have shaped my life and my fellow... Read more »
High school – preparation for real life
Courtney McClure

Coming into this environment was initially nerve-wracking and scary. The people would be different, the “big, bad” upperclassmen would be torturous, and the teachers would be hard-hitting dictators. I was growing up, and I knew the world, or at least school, would show no mercy. Nevertheless, in... Read more »

When I first entered high school, I remember being worried about meeting the teachers and staff. How tough would they be? Would they care if I succeeded or failed? High school for me has been a time for growth and increased self-awareness. My tenth grade English teacher and the Communities... Read more »

The past four years for me, have been a blur of crazy intense and sometimes hilarious moments. Four years ago I was an awkward, naïve fourteen year old clad with braces and bad style. And while I have lost the braces, and might still be somewhat awkward; I have emerged after four school years at East,... Read more »
