Intelligence vs. Artificial Intelligence
If you grew up in the States, there’s a high chance that you’ve heard of the SAT entrance exam. Created by the College Board, a non-profit organization committed to preparing students for college, the SAT is required as an entrance to university to predict one's prospective University success through reading, writing, and mathematics.

High School: Junior Year (Chapter 4)
Chapter Four The rest of the first month of school went by faster than usual, it seemed. There were a few times I walked to school without Ralfie. He would send me a text either the night before or the morning of saying that he had to be at the school early to get some practice in with the guys before first period. It felt weird walking up to the front lawn of the school by myself. The first couple of weeks Ralfie would usually meet us under tree, but lately his pre-practice practice would run all to the first bell that I didn’t see him until lunch. It was a good thing that the tree we all hung out under was close by. It minimized the amount of time people saw me walking alone.

Chapter Three Being a junior in high school, it is sad to say that I have never been in a situation where a girl initiated the conversation first. 'Act cool,' I thought to myself. “Yes to all of the above,” I replied. That was cool right? That was what normal people said, right?

3 Careers That Are Best to Prepare for in High School
There are numerous career paths that require state examinations and a state license in order to practice. In many cases, the testing and requirements for licensure might be different from state to state. Additionally, many career paths require a college education or an advanced degree as an entry-level requirement to find work. This has resulted in a situation where many college degree programs have the specific goal of preparing their graduates to pass the examinations and obtain state licensure in the state where the conferring academic institution is located.

High School: Junior Year (Chapter 2)
Chapter Two: Luis David High School had sort of a big front lawn. From across the street I could see people already claiming their spots . At Luis David, we weren’t confined to sit only in the cafeteria for lunch like most schools. We had the freedom to eat where we wanted, except eat in any of the classrooms or offices and we obviously have to pick up after ourselves. It reminded me of a warden letting his prisoners out for recreation. Straight away I could see who were the new fishies, incoming freshmen, and who wasn’t.

Our Education System Is Becoming Capitalized
In the 1980s, it was expected that a college graduate would be able to pay back their whole tuition 5 years after having graduated. In today’s society, paying back a college tuition in 5 years is nearly impossible as the cost to attend universities can be as high as $80,000 a year. Because of this, many students are stuck basing their future college off the price of attendance rather than the quality of the education they would be provided with. This prioritization of quantity over quality in the education system, however, is not solely limited to colleges. For example, high schoolers are burdened by standardized examinations that can cost them hundreds of dollars a year (neglecting the additional costs of review material and tutors). But how exactly has this capitalization of learning affected educational institutions, specifically that of high school?

High School: Junior Year
Chapter One Have you ever had that sensation where you just didn’t want to get out of bed? Well, I feel that every morning I wake up. I don’t know if I’m just lazy or if I have some medical condition that won’t allow my body to actually wake up early in the morning. I do the same routine every morning: shut my alarm clock off, roll the covers above my head, and lay there until the replacement mom walks in and tells me breakfast is ready. I’m freaking 17 years old and my “replacement” mom still cooks me breakfast.
