My entire childhood I heard stories and watched movies that portray the cliche of a teenager whose family thinks they’re perfect until they fall in with the wrong crowd in high school and everything changes. Watching these movies and hearing these stories, I never thought that it could happen to me, never stopped to say maybe one day that would be me. Until one day I realized it already was me. I had been best friends with this one girl for almost two years at this point, and of course she has other friends, but there was one in particular that I hated with no obvious reason as to why. The new school year started and my best friend and I ended up having class with this girl I hated so as per the ways of high school, my best friend wanted all three of us to become friends. With this in mind it was decided that come Halloween we would all meet up at my house. There was my best friend, the girl I hated, the girls boyfriend, and my best friend who I loved as a brother. …show more content…
I should have known that since the only reason the girl and her boyfriend wanted to come over was so we could get away with doing things that our parents wouldn 't agree with. That night became the beginning of the end, from there the three of us started hanging out practically everyday, at first it was innocent and everything was as it would be in a normal friendship. Then it started turning to partying every weekend and fighting with each other. The partying led to fights with my family, fights so bad that I was threatened to lose everything that I take for granted in my
The party was held at my friends house because she had insisted on it. She had decorated the entire place with blue and black and covered it with polkadots. The cake was huge and the music was great, everyone had been having a good time. I decided to take a break from dancing and walked over to the desert table to see what was left when I saw Emily. She had been a terrible person ever since I met her
Flashback. Fourth grade, my two best friends and I were inseparable, we did everything together. As the years progressed I noticed a change as my two best friends pushed me farther and farther away until I was alone. Sixth grade comes along and I was friendly with everyone but not “friends” with them. Fights started to occur that pushed me farther out of the group of girls.
Then i had a thought of just not telling her and getting her dressed up and to the party by lying to her. I told her that we were just gonna walk around the block at least because we can’t just sit inside for halloween. She wasn’t happy about it but she agreed to it. We are walking down the street and she sees the party going on and realizes that we are walking in that direction, she looks straight at me with a sour face.
Next thing I know my best friends appears from the crowd and says, “I’m Sick.” First thing I do is put her in the car and leave. She says she was just playing and was just ready to go and didn’t know if I was ready so she just made up the “I’m Sick Story.” I told her I didn’t mind but I really did and was really disappointed
When I was in elementary school I wasn’t the brightest kid. In fact, I always got B’s, C’s, and sometimes a D at school. Despite getting that score, my parents rarely got mad at me. As a kid, I would always wondered why my parents never care about it, and a lot of time I would think to myself that none of my parents is actually care about me. Going home from school, I got jealous of my friends that got picked up by their parents.
The negative treatment and pain I received as a black girl, and still into my adulthood, it amazes me how I'm still standing tall and strong. It amazes me how people have tried to break me, even my own kind, but I'm still here. Truth is I gotta to have thick skin and protect myself, because I got no choice. If I don't... who will? And that is the everyday life of living as a black woman.
I grew up in a very small, one stoplight, southern town. The kind of town you see in the movies, where everyone knows everyone, where neighbors become family. The kind of town where you marry your high school sweetheart, and then, later on, raise your own family in the very same place. Growing up here things were simple. Childhood afternoons were spent running barefoot through the creeks or riding bicycles with the kid next door.
Summer was winding down and I was getting ready for school. I was kind of nervous but I felt good. I was ready to out of middle school. I heard that the upper classman were really rude to the freshman so I was nervous.
Middle school was an extremely rough time for me. I was bullied constantly. I was like the figurative punching bag of the school (I was never physically harmed). This eventually made me leave the public school system and go to a completely different Catholic High School. I picked the one High School in the area that nobody from my old school was going to.
One It started the way it usually starts. The sweet smell of her perfume, that first touch, that eager kiss...pure passion. As she walked away, I thought to myself "I could eat this girl for lunch" literally and figuratively speaking. What is about her that has me so attracted????
Growing up, people would always ask "what do you want to be when you grow up?" flash-forward to senior year of high school where the most common question asked became “where are you going to college?” Time was flying by and although I had a pretty good idea on where I wanted to attend in the fall, when I was accepted to all of my top choices, the decision became a challenge. Strangely enough Xavier University of Louisiana was the last school I applied to. It was nowhere on my radar until I did my research.
In 2015, I started my eighth grade school year in student home caterina with mr and mrs wagner. I was on the crusaders team with mr. bush, mrs. number, mrs. squaresky, mr.shur, and miss. ainsworth. People who i believe contributed to my success today would be my seventh grade houseparents Mr and Mrs Troop. The Troops made me a successful person because they always told me not to give up and that they saw something grand in me.
Education can open many opportunities Going to school was always a huge challenge. Not that I didn’t like school, since I always loved to learn new things. It was the fact that I felt different from everyone else. Growing up, my parents would only speak Spanish in the house. When I start kindergarten it was alright since the class was taught in Spanish.
Over summer, I was struggling to decide what I should do for my Capstone Project. There were numerous things I could do, some of the things I was familiar with, and some of them I wasn’t. I had been looking to get a camera for a while, just because I wanted better quality pictures for when we go animal scouting, or even when I came across something I wanted to capture. When I bought my camera, I did not know anything about it.
This girl and I had a friendship so deep. If I thought something she said before I got a chance to. We went everywhere together. It was like we were joined at the hip in a weird way. I was always there when she needed me whether the issue was important or not so serious.
