Interview with High School Teacher

I had an interview with my cousin who is being anonymous as CC. CC is a high school teacher at Lowell High and recently taught seniors two years ago. She does have a lot of experience dealing with many different personalities with students, but enjoys teaching and helping students with their school work and graduating on time. As I was interviewing CC about her past experience with high school seniors, she told me that many high school seniors are very smart and excellent students, but just dont acknowledge it or dont have anyone acknowledging them. Many high school seniors also tend to give up a lot because they "think" they have everything planned out for their future, when really they are not proving on how much they want that kind of success. A lot of seniors now a days, have a lot of pride when it comes to what they want to do and accomplish in life, but are not going the right way about it. Friends and peer pressure have the biggest impact on teens, especially when its your senior year. Senior year to students is basically the last year to spend time with friends and have the time of your life and just party and have fun. Many students interpret the meaning of having the best time of your high school year wrong, and think that just having fun means forgetting about your priorities and school work. Suddenly their grades drop and the students are wondering why there not graduating on time and why colleges are not accepting them. And there is only one answer to the problem, its because they tend to be senioritis.
