This wasn't just any Monday morning when James woke up; it was the first day of his senior year in high school. You see, for most seniors, the last year of school is all about those special moments such as dating, football, pep rallies, and the prom, but at Charles Whitman Senior High School (Home of the Snipers), for 10 students, the 12th grade also contains courses specifically preparing them for their future. These required classes include History, Biology, Calculus, World Religions, Serial Killers and Mass Murderers, and PE, which includes firing a high-powered rifle. Yeah, this isn't your typical high school, but that's because the circumstances regarding the 2012-2013 school year are drastically different from any other the United States has seen in the past. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Hit Student High as you follow James and his classmates who realize that their career path to assassinating for the US Government has its beginnings not only with the decay of the country, but the realm of the public school system, and The Maintenance of Justice and Peace Program.
The year is 2065 and the corporations have taken over all forms or work, distribution and trade. There are only warehouses (futurehouses) and factories. Now everything is bought online and delivered by drone. It is a world where 1984's fascism and Brave New World's consumerism collide, where the only escape is to build your way out.
Fred was having a typical day at Lloyd Sanderson High School consisting of being made fun by losers who couldn't care less about him. Sound familiar? Thought so. Whether you're a dude or chick, a lot of you can relate to Fred. So what's so different about this book? Oh, let's just say that when Fred was in the 9th grade, he made friends with students his age going through the same ordeal of going to the rotten jungle known as high school, while trying to find themselves, but he also made one friend in particular. It's in the following pages that you're going acquaint yourselves with Fred, along with his classmates in the magnet program, Mr. H, substitute teacher extraordinaire, and their special relationship. Over the course of four years, Fred and his friends continue to keep up with their favorite teacher, and that's not a good thing for those that get on their bad side. Sick back, relax, and enjoy reading about friendship, the triumph of good over evil, bad people getting what's coming to them, and good things happening to good people.
For some, high school is heaven. It's a place where you meet up with your friends, discuss the latest fashions and trends, join clubs, go to pep rallies and football games, and quite frankly, where some peak, but for others, high school is hell. It's an institution where you're forced to go to for four long years with people you can't stand and learning subjects you don't care about. In Dying To Graduate, six best friends find their lives being impacted by a History teacher that shares the same passion for certain subjects they do, and history is just one of them. Join Alan, Ducky, Jimmy, Joey, Kris, and Phoebe as they try to survive their senior year.
Allow me to introduce you to Mr. H. He just nabbed a job teaching history at my school here in beautiful sunny Glendale, California. In addition to his trek from coast to coast, you will learn more about myself, a few of my classmates, Mr. H's colleagues, housemates, and past concerning the fair sex, which he's trying to put behind him. You see, his life hasn't gone the way he planned it. He's 40, single, practically asocial, and not very good with women. Right now, he's working to affect the lives of middle and high school kids, get a life, and most of all, get a girl. Sitting in a classroom for 10 years, followed by researching and writing a dissertation for another year and a half, severely retarded his ability to talk to the females, at least if you ask him. Sit back, relax, and enjoy reading about the life of a guy who's trying to get one. Oh yeah, the zoo. I almost forgot to tell you about the animals that inspire him to teach us. How do I know so much about him? Simple. He told me.
On September 11, 2001, terrorists launched attacks on the United States leaving many angry, confused, and scared while others pondered about such subjects as God, justice, religion, and life itself. In the subsequent days following 9/11, a 17 year old will rethink her dream of becoming a doctor only to pursue her true love, an immigrant's faith will be challenged, a police officer will be forced to confront his past, while his partner, who has endured discrimination and racism since childhood, is determined to help him exorcise his demons, and then there's the Academy Award winning actress, who faces death threats made by terrorists who want to destroy Hollywood and the entertainment industry in order cripple the economy. Fear, ignorance, prejudice, and racism are just a few elements that examine the direct and indirect consequences of that fateful Tuesday morning not only on a nation, but on four of its citizens whose lives will cross in a way they never could have imagined.
As Joan Gett went to bed that night, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Why are we studying history anyway! It's the past; can't we just move on?" Earlier in the day, she learned that Rome wasn't built in a day and some guy named Julius Caesar was stabbed to death on the Ides of March. Actually, she did think the stabbing part was cool along with the rest of her class consisting of all high school seniors. Jo, or Joanie, as her friends sometimes called her, was more interested in basketball, the latest fashions, and Classic Rock. She actually thought of her parents' choice of music was something cool people listened to and she loved every bit of it. As the night went by, little did Joan know that her senior year in high school was going to take a turn for the unexpected, link her with some unexpected friends, and land her with a fever.....jungle fever that is.
