It’s been said that high school is the best years of your life. Honestly, if I consider high school the best years of my life, then I have a feeling I am going to live a very uneventful, boring life. In my first three years of high school I was the epitome of “sit down and shut up.” ...

This is it; I am a senior, closing in on my final days. It's hard to think of the experiences that I have been through during these last four years; I remember being an underclassman who just could not wait for the day that I got to call myself an almighty senior.

It is hard to think that in only a month I will officially graduate and move on to college. It is even harder to think that I will no longer be a part of Hi Times/Slicer Newsroom. As a “lifer,” in this class I spent the past three years of my high school career writing well over 100 stories, holding ...

I remember my first day of high school four years ago. Wow. I got on Bus 1 at the end of my road and got off Bus 1 at the front of LaPorte High School. I was 14 years old starting high school. Walking into this school scared me. I have never seen a school so big. I thought middle school was big; high sch...

You might not understand how hard it is for me to leave. You might just think that I have had such a great time here, but for me it seems like someone gave me a huge and delicious piece of candy ten months ago and now they are taking it away from me without letting me enjoy the last bite. But this i...

I have been fortunate enough to grow up in a school district that has many great teachers who love what they do. They are the ones who have pushed me and got me going into the path that has led me to where I am t...
