It was the first day of sophomore, I’m glad that freshman year was over and a new year had come, but I finally got myself a boyfriend, that’s totally not in the cards. As I pace around the hallway panicky searching for Luke, Alexis parade into the hallway, red lipsticks on, high heeled stilettos clack echoed against the marble floors and granite walls, along with her crowd of ‘friends’. Her steps were closer, clack click clack click she was towards my direction, I scrambled through my books in the locker and lumbered away, the echoing sound of her steps sped. “Hey” a voice yapped from behind, it’s not gonna be good I thought, I hesitatingly turned and facing her, her eyes fiercely glared into mine and across. “Luke is mine!” loud enough that my ear drums hurt so bad, I don’t know, I don’t know, frantic beating from my heart, head pounding like erratic drums, thoughts racing over my mind, I need to stop, and this is
One time I came across failure. It all started when playing in a baseball game for Serra High School. Up to that game we had been undefeated in league play.

The Little School by Alicia Partnoy is an impactful memoir that honors her experiences during the Argentine military regime while she was deemed “disappeared.” The Argentine coup d'état overthrew Argentina’s President, Isabel Perón, and set its intentions towards suppressing any impulses of political dissent. The regime's leaders sought to eliminate leftist opposition and enforce its ideology on the population. They believed that democracy was demagogic and that the notions of the state must be redefined.

I arrive at my locker and open it, only for it to be shut a second later by the wannabee herself Ms. Amber Jones.
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.

One repeated result that has hindered our education system here in America is that several schools are not at their most efficient state. Year-round schools are advantageous for many schools.
