Class of 2012 ~ SENIORS!

[SCtinkerbell]

Wow I seriously thought every school had senior projects ours was just known to be the worst, so to graduate here you must have:

4 Credits of English (I already have 3 which is as much as a 2012 student could have so far)
2 Credits of Math (I already have 3 so far)
3 Credits of Social Study's (I have 2.5 so far)
1 Credit of Art (I have 1.5 so far)
1.5 Credits of PE (I have .5 so far PE isn't exactly my interest why wouldn't they just give me credit for dance?)
.5 credit of Health (I have my .5)
1.5 CTE credits (Career and Technical Education) (I have my 1.5)
2 Science Credits (I have 3 so far)
and 7 Electives (I have almost all of them)

So that part is pretty normal then we have our culuminating project which is to be done over 4 years only thing is everyone I know including me didn't know that till a few days before we were let out for Summer so now were scrambling that includes

A Binder which inside must include:

- A CoE which was some 15 page essay we wrote Freshman year which honestly I don't remember what it was about also everything must be at standard in it or you don't graduate

-A employabilitly portfolio which includes

• Resume
• Job Application
• Cover Letter or College/Scholarship application and essay
• Reference Letter
• 2 Job Shadows the a bunch of paper work
• Documented Interview

- A scholarly paper which is a paper you write over a years time to graduate everything must be at standard the paper is a college level research paper if one little tiny thing isn't at standard you don't graduate.

That's not even everything in it just what is on-line

Then you have your senior project which you do the Summer of your senior year that entitles:

- Finding a project or choosing to volunteer somewhere
- Filling out a proposal which is 5 pages long of repeating yourself
- Getting a bunch of paper work signed
- Doing a mandatory interview before you start your project
- For mine volunteering 40 hours at a senior assisted living place
- Documenting every silly step
- Anotated bibliographies which are the death of me

Then you have to present your project on a power point to a board of school member like everything else everything MUST be at standard or you don't graduate

WOW! That's whole bunch more than my school!
