Favorite Moment Speech
Hello, my name is Zoe. I am here to tell you about the most memorable moment of my high school career… so far. For me, as with many of you in this room, high school is approximately half over. Four of the most important years in one’s personal character developments, some would say. We meet friends that we will never forget; make enemies that we will seemingly never forgive, memories that we will take with us to the end of our days. Good memories and bad memories, high school memories tend to never leave our memory banks. It doesn't always have to be the most exciting memory, as some memories occupy our thoughts for no apparent reason. As I thought about this topic, and tried to narrow down my most memorable, school related, memory, I realized that if I had to spend so much time pondering it, it probably was not that memorable. So the memory that strangely seemed to not leave my thoughts came from a class that others would most likely try to forget. But how could such a good memory come in a class that was not good at all? Well, the things that made it so special was, for starters, the very fact that I enjoyed the class which I had dreaded all semester, the friends who were able to experience it with me, and the newfound attitude I had in that class afterwards. For those of you have already taken or are currently in chemistry, specifically Ms. Siddons’s honors chemistry, you understand the tedious, seemingly only busy work assigned daily. For those of you who have not been in chemistry or those who do not share my feelings toward chemistry, think about that class that made you dread coming to school, but not wanting to go home because of the mounds of homework from that class you knew would be waiting for you when you got there. For some of you, that could be every class. But imagine with me, if you will, that class that you hated for whatever reason-whether it be because of boring subject or class, lack of skill in the particular subject, lots of work, etc.

    Throughout my high school career, I have made so many memories with various individuals. I remember, my first day at Mount in 8th grade, I was heading to the locker room from TC and I fell down the stairs and took out three people with me. One person that fell down with me became my best friend that year. Another memory was back freshman year. I love how our entire school comes together…

    Then I went to J.F.K. middle school for two years. And then I went to Enrico Fermi high school. I will always remember my high school years fondly. I had a lot of fun and I worked really hard in terms of work and studying. It feels like yesterday that I graduated high school. In reality, it’s been 2.5 months since I graduated. I was apart of Fermis last graduating class before the high schools were consolidated. This made me feel a sense of ownership and pride. I was apart of my school's history of the final class to graduate from it. I feel like I will forever be apart of my school and my school will forever be apart of me. I asked my dad how he remembers the day that I graduated. And he said that I said, “I can’t believe this day finally came.” (Sternal, Joseph.)I still feel like I should be walking into that school again. I can’t believe I’m walking into a school that isn’t Fermi even today. I’m very happy that I got to be apart of the last graduating class because it made my high school experience that much more memorable and…

    Shoemaker’s class I had recess. Since my friends and I usually didn’t get down to the gym fast enough, we didn’t always get a ball to mess around with. So we instead decided to stay in her class during that time. We had loads of fun creating memories upon memories that will never be forgotten. Memories like when we put on impaired driving goggles and stumbled over everything. Memories of us eating all her yummy peanut butter filled pretzels and asking for help on assignments. I had grammar with a different teacher but if I did not understand something, I would ask Mrs. Shoemaker. She would always explain the homework to me. Also, if I had to write an essay she would help me and then look over it for mistakes. Making me a stronger person today, Mrs. Shoemaker never let me give…

    There is a common myth that high school is an established educational institute set out to deprive you of a social life and your hair before the age of 18 due to its curriculum and demanding courses .This is in fact is one of the biggest disclaimers you'll hear surrounding any high school. In reality, the academic aspect of high school is quite frankly the easiest obstacle to overcome. Although seemingly hard, for the majority of my academic classes this year I've easily adapted and have progressed quite smoothly within each individual course. To tell the truth the hardest course to overcome was AP Chemistry. While the subject itself captivated much of the basic knowledge taught in regular chemistry, the real difficulty was applying those…

    Honors Chemistry was always a pleasantly productive period. A typical class block entailed only a lesson and worksheet; for example, I would speed through a stoichiometry worksheet, ensure that I understood limiting reagents, and find myself with half of the period to occupy. Some days I would finish homework for other classes, while other days I would browse scientific journals on my phone. Occasionally I would use this time to “do math,” which, for someone without much of a background in the subject, meant toying with a calculator and graph paper until the bell rang.…

    The proudest moment in my high school career is when I signed myself to take my first AP class. I was really nervous about going to the meeting to sign myself up to get the summer assignment because I felt that I was not ready for the work load, and I would not be able to pass the class. My excuse for not going to the meeting was that I was helping in the cafeteria and I was going to be really late, but when I told my two best friends Jenny and Virginia that I wasn't going to take it anymore. They got so frustrated and annoyed with me because they said I was stupid if I didn’t take AP calculus because that was my favorite subject and I needed a challenge in that class. They also made me remember when I would tell them that Math Analysis was…

    Having taken a full year of general (inorganic) chemistry at both the high school and college level, I have noticed a striking disparity about labs. Compared to college chemistry of the same curriculum, high school AP Chemistry lacks an appropriate laboratory equipped with adequate equipment and high tech apparatus. In addition, there exists major time constraints due class meetings lasting a maximum of two…

    Don't get me wrong I actually really like chemistry because it's a branch from science, but like math there is just so much to cover. It's a lot to take in and can be quite confusing. Like math, I end up looking for help online but not as often. However, I especially try to learn the materials as best as I can because it is essential to becoming a pharmacist, which is my dream career. Unlike math, our grade isn't just determined by what we get on the tests, but also on some experiments. Even so, tests still make up most of our grade. To add, it's not really hands on. I was expecting a lot more experiments to understand more of how chemicals interact with each other. I have noticed that I learn things a bit faster if it's more hands on. Unfortunately, most of the material is on paper and it gets confusing at times. Additionally, the teacher always seems to throw a complex question on the tests that always throws me off. I find to do better on the tests when I do all of my homework. This also allows me to redo a test that I may not have gotten a good…
