To say my day was horrible would be an immense understatement. This morning, or rather afternoon, I woke up and realized that I was late for school. I’ve never in my life been delayed, or even unpunctual, to class. I then immediately jumped out of bed from my curled-up ball of blankets, and dashed to get dressed. I went searching my closet, each drawer in my dresser, and finally dashed into the laundry room across the house where I found my uniform shirts in the dirty hamper. I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t thrown them in the wash, so I became infuriated and frustrated. In the meantime, I put on one of my younger brother’s dinosaur t-shirts because of the time being. I bolted out the front door without even having a bite of breakfast and was on my way to school until I noticed that my dog was following close behind me. I couldn’t just let her stay running around the neighborhood exploring for …show more content…
I became anxious and concerned at what she wanted because I had just arrived fifteen minutes prior to the announcement. She commenced to throw questions at me like where I had been in the past hour, for example, and I got the impression that she was mistaking me for someone else who had caused damage to the school’s property. Even though I didn’t commit any crimes to the school or its property, I was told that I would be placed in school suspension because I was sneaking around the area of the vandalism. So, not only did I have a school suspension, but also a detention session since I was late to class with no acceptable excuse. After my school day and detention sessions ended, I had to walk home because my bus had already left. On my way home, an enormous and ferocious-looking dog began running toward me, and got caught on my sweater. I tripped, fell, and broke my arm because of that ruddy dog. I was in so much excruciating pain, but I was so far away from home; I had to trudge the rest of the prolonged
With ear-splitting barks, the dog gave chase with supernatural speed. The man whipped this way, and that, trying to escape the dog snapping at his heels. The man ran headlong into a tree, and flung himself upward. The dog jumped up and bit the man’s hand with sharp teeth. He screamed and tried to shake the dog off.
Once we all had our food and we were all at the table we all agreed that the tacos they made that day were really nasty which kind of made some of us upset because we were actually hungry. After lunch, we all went and sat back in the classroom for the rest of the school day. Towards the end of the school day we all went to grab our luggage from the security room which had been checked by now and security took what we couldn’t have because it wasn’t safe. We then all took our luggage to this white van which was going to bring our stuff towards the dorm so we wouldn’t have to walk our entire stuff across the campus. Once we made it to the front we grabbed our things and they showed us to our rooms, after getting settled the rest of the day was nice we all met new faces and just had
Page 9… Later that day, Mom said the one thing I was hoping she wouldn’t. “Tomorrow, you will have to start at a new school.” I was really not looking forward to the next morning.

After reading "Six Days: Some Rememberings" I found this short story to be very confusing. It just felt like I was jumping from page to page and was a little all over the place. At one point I couldn 't tell if that character was talking to another character or if they were talking to the audience. At times there wasn 't really any details where it was needed and at other times there was too much details. I tried reading the story over again to maybe understand it better a second time but was still a bit confused.
I could no longer afford to pay my cell phone bill because I had ran out of funds. Unfortunately, my phone had been turned off, After one month, I knew my family started to worry about me so I called one of my aunt to let her know I was fine. She said she was very worried and she even called campus safety and they told her to email me. Then, she offered to pay my phone bill so that my line could be turn on, I told her not to bothered because my phone is broken.
The cool air swoops in and out behind me as the door slams close. Immediately I feel the pressure of hundreds of eyes glaring at me. I glide my feet down the school hallway, secretly hoping that today will be different. Today I can avoid all the drama and pain. I arrive at my locker and open it, only for it to be shut a second later by the wannabee herself Ms. Amber Jones.
Today was going to be my first day of school and I was quite nervous. I knew I wasn’t going to meet any of my friends in Vietnam wasn’t going to be in my school but I hoped for the best. I then walked in class and my teacher introduced me to the whole class.like I just moved from state to a state even though I literally just moved countries. She placed me in seat with a person name “Jake”.
At 5:45 AM the alarm on my phone blared some generic default tone that I had never gotten around to changing. This was probably the earliest I’ve ever gotten up in my entire life. I groggily removed myself from the pile of blankets on the floor that I had been sleeping in and headed for the shower, brushed my teeth, washed my face and searched my near empty closet for something to wear on my first day of school. Although I was absolutely exhausted and there was yet to be any furniture in my room, I was thrilled to be transferring to Pattonville High School in midst of my junior year and living in a bigger house in a better community.
Both Toni Morrison’s “Sweetness” and Edward P. Jones’ “The First Day” are short stories written by African American individuals. Other than this very basic similarity, these stories and their authors bear resemblance to each other. Both of the authors lived in a time before the internet, cell phones and probably more importantly the rise of an equal rights for all races movement. Given these facts and their shared African heritage, it is understandable both of the stories have at least an undertone of racial issues. On the more superficial level both “Sweetness” and “The First Day” feature a mother-daughter relationship.
It was 7:05am on a Thursday morning, when I had woken. I lied down in my bed gazing at the ceiling as my obnoxious alarmed screamed at me to get up and prepare for another day of school. I was beyond exhausted. It was November 17th. Thanksgiving break was just around the corner waiting for me to relax and get my mind off the prison we call school.
I woke up early and put on the clothes that I had laid out from the night before. I went to the kitchen grabbed a Poptart and headed out the door to find the bus coming up my street. Walking onto the bus gave me a whiff of Expo Markers and and an overload of Axe cologne that I’m guessing an awkward teenage boy showered in. I sat on the hard, poorly cushioned seat next to a small girl with pigtails and a Doc Mcstuffins backpack. Man, this is my first day of being in the Middle School; first day of sixth grade, I thought to myself.
I slept in this morning since it was Saturday and since I didn’t have to leave to go to the mall with my mom until around 10. Once I woke up, I turned on my TV and started watching The Arrow, one of my favorite shows. It was almost 9:30, so I decided to start getting ready. As I astonishingly watched the show, I picked out my outfit for the day. I chose a pair of leggings, a Texas Longhorns shirt, and my checkered Vans and laid the clothes on my bed and let the shoes drop to the floor.
A memorable day I my life is when I first found out I was a diabetic. I was scared and didn’t really understand what was happening. I was too sick, and for the most part out of my mind. But, what I do remember is a lot of pain and a few visitors. It wasn’t the best day and I don’t remember every detail.
