I was born on 14th December 1996 in India, in Mumbai to be more specific. I am the second and the last child in my family, I have a sister who is two years older to me. This is a brief story of my life so far, from Mumbai to Singapore.
I don’t remember much of what happened in the first four years of my life except that I stayed on the first floor of a very small building in a slow developing area. When I was about three and a half years old my parents bought a new house and we moved in on January 2000, a month after I turned four years old. The new house was bigger and in a much better area. There were five of us living at home, my mom, dad, sister, my violent maid and I. My maid was normal till I started going to school.
I went to a very average school till the 3rd grade, like every kid I didn’t enjoy it too much then. When I was done with 2nd grade, my parents asked my sister and I if we wanted to switch schools as they were more inclined towards sending us to an international school, and so we did go to one. I loved my new school, it wasn’t

In Bombay, we call high school, Junior College. I studied at a very reputed college in the city, it was one and a half hour from my house so I rarely went. We did not have an attendance problem, it was more of self-studies even though teachers would teach in class. Because I rarely went to college, the number of friends I had lessened and I started to feel a little lonely. I eventually started talking to the people of my age group in my building. I took college very lightly and started to regret doing so. In the 12th grade I wasn’t very sure of where I wanted to go to study. I was then introduced to a lot of colleges, including SP Jain for the BBA program as I was very clear I wanted to do BBA it seemed like a good option. After a lot of study I finally decided a college and studied for the entrance test so I could get
I had to leave all of my friends and favorite teachers. I went from Cloverdale to Taylor’s Crossing Public Charter School. I went there for fifth and sixth grade then I changed again and came to Rocky Mountain. Coming back to the district was a little hard but most of my friends recognized me and all I really had to do was get used to the schedules and routine. I have enjoyed all three of the schools
Walking In Multiple Worlds One thing about the book, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, is that you are not just associated with one type of group. In the story, Arnold feels like he doesn’t just belong to one group, but multiple. One example of Arnold being in multiple groups is when in the book, he realizes that he’s not just a part of the indian tribe, but also being a Basketball Player, Bookworm, etc. The text states: “I realized that, sure, I was a Spokane Indian.
High school was a roller coaster ride for me, from the endless fun of parties to the minor breakdowns and panic attacks that would land myself in the hospital. The pressure and stress got to me and the fact that failing out of the school that I’ve been going to for twelve years with long life friends was coming to an end. Now that I look back at it though it might have been the best decision for my well-being because then I would of not been able to meet the people that I met at Chamblee Charter High School. You would think moving from a private to a public school would be a big cultural shock, you are very correct. Atlanta International School, which was the school I went for basically my whole life, was a very open minded, well rounded, and accepting establishment since the most of the students where from all over the world.
I missed a lot of school growing up because of my cancer treatments and surgeries, but I never fell behind, and I always had teachers that looked out for me. For high school, I went to J.M. Tate High School, and graduated with highest honors. I loved school from kindergarten all the way through
When 6th grade came, I transferred into a Baltimore City Public School since I really wasn’t getting the education I needed at the private school. It was still rough not fitting it. I thought that becoming like the other kids would make me happy, but I was learning new things everyday and I realized in high school that being the outcast is better than being like everyone else. The journey I dealt with in high school was very emotionally tough and life changing.
I lived with my grandparents and with my brother and I, a family of four scrapped by off my grandfather pension. It wasn’t enough. My grandmother pulled me out of school, at my insistence, and told the school that I was going to be homeschooled now. Being too young at 15 to
Starting a new school can be described best as terrifying. I was expected to not only start a new school, but also make new friends and try my best to fit in. It was decided that my siblings and I would attend a private christian academy in order to have a more spiritually focused aspect of education. After attending the first school for a few years, it was decided to switch schools and attend the school I am currently at. This decision was based on the fact that the spiritual environment would be much stronger, as well as teachers who shared more values in his or her spiritual walk.
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” —Oscar Wilde. In the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, the main character’s older sister, Mary, only exists in the beginning and throughout the book, she has to learn how to live in the way Oscar Wilde talked about.
School was tough, not in the academical sense (I aced all my subjects without even trying because of education in India), but in the social sense. I had friends, and I didn’t get ostracized or anything like that, but society in India and society in the USA are two very different things. I had trouble switching from one to the other, and my vocab was quite different, with different names for a few things. For example, soccer here is called football in India, and along with a bunch of other things like that, I got confused pretty often. But time passed, and I got
In August 14, 1983 I was born in Fresno, California. My family consists of my parents Xao Chang and Mao Yang, three sisters Youa, Yer and Vicky, and three brothers Bee, Davis and Doua. My family originally lived in Laos before they fled to Thailand by crossing over the Mekong River. After 2 years of living in the refugee camps in Thailand, my grandma was the first member of my family to immigrate to the United States in 1976. Followed by my parents and their relatives, 2 years later.
A few years ago I moved out of my hometown and ended up attending a new school. The new school was much nicer than my old one. It was freshly rebuilt with brand-new floors. The whole place looked more modern than the old-fashioned building I used to go to. At the new school, the people dressed and acted differently.
On my first day of school I could not find peace at mind, classes seemed stressful and people were not sociable or even friendly in my opinion. The procedures at the Texas school were different and I had the worst time adjusting to it. I could not even find anyone to have a deep conversation about who I am.

Why I Chose to be a Student Bingham Academy When I started my 9th grade year, I had a best friend. Not even a quarter of the way into my school year, they had betrayed me. They lied to me and they lied about me. In one confrontation where I asked for my phone back because they had been using it, they told me that I was useless and that I should kill myself.
Kindergarten to 8th grade I attended a private school called Holy Family Catholic School. The school was very small along with classes, teachers extremely strict and hallways always quiet, the totally opposite from Dr. Henry A. Wise. My first day of high school I was very nervous I was not used to big classes, endless amount of students in the halls and the loud ruckus. This was an educational challenge for me because it was a totally different learning environment for me that i had to get used to quickly. My studying habits also challenged me through high school because test and quizzes were given out frequently and if you didn't know how to study you probably wouldn’t get a good grade.
