His father, currently in prison, never had a steady job. David’s parents separated when he was a little boy. He bounced around, attending seven elementary schools. When he was thirteen, he was arrested for robbery. He graduated from high school only because he was given course credit for hours he’d worked at Big Boppers Diner (from which he was fired after graduation).

6th grade football tryouts It was a humid day in the middle of August and football tryouts were tomorrow.It was 6th grade and I was really nervous,It wasn't because I had never played football ,I had played football for three years prior to that.I was nervous because it was my first time playing school football and I had just transferred schools because the school I was going to be nasty,wretched,and unkempt. When I got home from school my mom had gotten me a brand new white and black glossy chin guard and a juicy and sour lemon flavored mouthguard.My mom also gave me a talk when I told her I was nervous.She told me that I was a great athletic kid who could do anything he puts his mind to.

I read this book many times during the summer, and after this encounter, I suddenly found that what he said was very relatable to the idea of the book. In “Ender 's Game”, Ender was only 8 years old (I think) when he was sent to Command School to be a commander in the humans vs. buggers war. Most people thought that the whole idea of letting a 8 year old child be the person their fate depends on was preposterous. Ender knew that the people were right, but he believed in himself and his cause. He finally defeated the buggers, and led the humans to victory.

Cecil Jacobs made me forget. He had announced in the schoolyard the day before Scout Finch’s daddy defended niggers. I denied it, but told Jem” (Top of page.62). Through this quote it is clear that Scout has gotten into trouble and many fights before. This is also a step closer to being more mature and lady like.

My wife Clementine decided we need these journals to document what we see on our travels to Oregon next month, however I honestly think they are a waste of time. At least little Brooke enjoys it. On her 6th birthday last year we got her a notebook that she 's been writing in so I think she 's ready for these journals. I remember three years ago when Clementine was 18 we would go on walks around our little town of bloomesdale. I shore do miss those times, but we haven 't gone on many walks since then, because she 's been cross with me about overruling her vote to go to Oregon.

My senior year I did not try out because of my busy schedule, but i regret not making more time for it. It is my passion and the band advanced to area this year. Another extracurricular activity I enjoy is Winter Guard, which is all color guard members and no band members. I have been in Winter Guard for two years and I will be going on my third year this year. The first year we got sixth place at State and I was captain my junior year as well.

During the summer before my freshmen year of high school, one of the most significant changes in my life occurred: I moved from the busy, populated city of Arlington, Texas to the rural, “all- white” Jackson County, Tennessee. Believe it or not, the first three words that I heard during my first day attending Jackson County High School were, “Are you Asian?” Shortly after my first appearance, I was given the nickname Chow, which has stuck throughout my entire high school incumbency. At first I was really unsure of how I felt about this name, and many of my teachers worried that I would be offended by it. However, as I ventured from being the new kid in town to getting to know most of the people in this “all- white” county, I’ve come to embrace

The day my world started crumbling down was the day my father called me “childish”. "you 're not ready for college at the age of seventeen and you will either take a gap year or go to a community college not far from home" he said. I know, a community college doesn 't sound bad except i am leaving the part where i have to stay home for another two years because my father dint plan for two more extra kids to go to college. I have lived with my dad for three years and i want to leave already. I need this scholarship because I want to spread my wings and fly, i want to make mistakes and learn from them.

The job was great until school started again in late August. I had heard of upperclassmen always complaining about working during the school year, yet I had never understood as an underclassmen that did not work. But three months into my Junior year I understood exactly what my peers were complaining about. Time management became my biggest weakness. Going from school straight to work and then

A few weeks ago I went a school field trip to a teamwork camp and our goal was to work better together and meet new people and make new friends. When we arrived we expected it to be boring or just weird but we were unprepared for what was there. This week we watched a movie called Remember the Titans, and the movie is about two high schools that had to combine and they were different color schools and this was back in the 1970’s so segration was very big and everyone was so racist so if you think about that you would realize how hard it was for to combine. But they do and there head coach for the football team was moved to a lower position and a black man named Herman Boone took his place and that created a lot of tension. Throughout this couple

we were play 29 palms that week, they are our biggest rivals after yucca and i just wanted to get yellow paint on my helmet so bad. last year when we played them a big boy crushed me and i hurt my ankle. i was really hoping he was a freshman last year so i could get some payback. I woke up the morning of the game put some makeup on and a mask that looked very human like and went to school. i told everyone that i was an exchange student and would only be there for two days.

I always get nervous when I feel I have to perform the best I can. I went to the camp and did great in hitting and fielding; my performance caught the attention of the head coach and he said he would like to stop by my high school to see me play a few games this upcoming year. He told me, "I am not willing to take any student athlete who is not willing to run the extra mile or to take the extra 100 swings a day." So every morning before school, I took 100 swings off my tee and after school, I ran an extra mile. Over the course of my season, I saw dramatic improvements and they were just in time for the game the college coach stopped by to see.

Marching band taught me how to love again. A past band member who had actually been right in front of me for the past five years was standing on the sideline that night and somehow I believe that God placed him in my life to show me that my future is right in front of me. If it would not have been for my boyfriend waving at me one year ago, I do not really know how my life would have turned out. When Alex came into my life everything shifted, I actually had something to look forward to every morning I woke. Alex made everything better and actually took my mind off the fact that my parents were getting a divorce.
