Impossible Endings
In high schools across the country students are being forced into completing senior projects to get their diplomas. Some students only have to complete them for special diplomas. Senior projects are a very vague assignment created just to break a senior’s brain by placing it on top of college business, graduation business, and other end of the year activities. Students are being asked to push themselves to the limit during a time when all they want to do is have fun.
Senior project subjects range from attaining a license in diving to creating a newsletter and getting it printed. Students are being asked to find something their interested in after they had spent every moment of their life since they were 5 to this point focusing all their time working on school, how should they know what their interests are. Students are interested in things that are quick, I don’t know of any students who spend their time hosting elaborate balls and going out of their way to do volunteer work in other countries when they have to either be earning money or making the grade. If a student isn’t working on one of these two things then they either are rich enough to pay off the project and college or they really don’t care.
Some students can actually get this thing done with out having a stress attack but these are the same students who manage to breathe and attain straight A’s, perfect teeth, and find twenty dollar bills on the way to the park. Schools are asking too much at this point, the last part of school should not be the hardest. Senior projects should not be senior projects at all but junior or sophomore projects. Students have enough stress as it is senior year with college , goodbyes, graduation , maintaining GPA’s, and other such things that shouldn’t happen all at once that they don’t deserve to have to go out of their life and world to create something where the whole goal is to make themselves accomplish the impossible.
