I wish I could go back to kindergarten. “The same boys who got detention in elementary school for beating the crap out of people are now rewarded for it. They call it football.” Laurie Halse Anderson. High school is a rough place like elementary with testosterone and steroids. It’s extremely fast paced and people won’t slow down for you nor anyone else either. My transcripts state the most difficult classes for me were spanish and math. Even though math was not a challenge for me, but I didn’t do homework, and I received high scores on test, which allowed me to pass the course. The least difficult classes for me were just about everything but spanish. English I’ve earned all a’s and one but think it was an accident. Science I got all
Warren awoke to the buzzing sound of his alarm--6:30 in the morning. He threw his tan comforter blanket to the wall and slid out of bed. He walked heavier than an elephant across his wooden floor to the kitchen. His mother was making his everyday breakfast--two buttermilk waffles and a small glass of milk. He ravaged it to the last crumb.
Personally, high school was the most fun and challenging, but with comp. cheer I was pushed in an entirely different
Everyone has had someone close pass away. Well in my case, it was my best friend Ethan. He pass away in 2013 from a mistake by the doctor. I know that he always wanted me happy, but that wasn’t always the case when he first was gone. let me tell you about our mind boggling years with Ethan.
All I was doing, was eating my lunch. "You suck," "You cant do anything!" Tears rolled down my eyes... It was February 1st, 2016, and I just finished math class. I was really stressed out in math because I was just out sick for two days and I wasn't understanding anything.
Our Good Lunch I hated school, so much that I would stay home often. But that strong hatred ended when I came to middle school. Most people hated middle school, but not me, I loved middle school. The new environment helped me meet my best friend, Delia. Delia, unlike me, is someone who isn’t afraid to make new friends.
In the duration of my middle school years, I maintained excellent grades, except I had just one issue that held me back from a satisfying life. That issue was the fact that friends came very hard to me in my middle school years. Before my struggles at my middle school, Trafton, I had a very productive social life in the Elementary school I attended, Roberts Elementary. Here, it was very easy to make friends and have a great social life, since no hard work was required as a kid. Middle school, however, was a great challenge for me.
Middle school was a tough time for me, but it was not always that way in the beginning. During seventh grade, I knew all of my classmates. While I was starting a new chapter in my life, it felt great to have all these friends. I never knew during that time that I would end up regretting that. Something changed one day in the middle of seventh grade and somehow I became the school's outcast.
I have realized that kids are looking up to me now, and they are in my exact shoes. They are all looking up to us varsity players like we are in the NFL. Football was always fun, but it 's even more fun when you 're winning every game. Football now is very different than it was when I was a kid. In highschool, it is not all fun and games, it is business.
There was no warning, no dramatic police report, nothing that resembled the movies I watched growing up. I shouldn 't have been surprised, seeing how Yuba City was so insignificant to the rest of the world, but I suppose deep in my heart I was disappointed. I remember walking through the halls, not running, as if the hall monitor was still watching. He was dead.
It is the anger I felt, building inside me when I was pushed down in kindergarten. It is the color of lipstick worn at my first high school dance mimicking how I was feeling: daring. It is blood rushing out of me, knowing it is something a band-aid will not fix. It is the color of my bloodshot eyes after crying for hours on end, wanting to be taken out of the misery I am in, hopeless and alone. It is my cheeks after having the attention for one minute too long.
Throughout my educational career I have been exposed to many different educational institutions. Since I did not grow up on an Indian Reservation I did not learn under the same circumstances or manner as Alexie so saying reading saved my life would seem to be an exaggeration. My family was uninvolved in most aspects of my schooling but I was motivated to achieve on my own. I became increasingly interested in books and would stay up into the early morning because I was so invested in what I was reading. Eventually a teacher recognized my ability for higher level thinking and recommended a magnet school.
was a pleasure to have all of you in this class and I hope you have a great time in high school and wish you all the best for the future.” I proceeded to second period, which was music. In music, we collected our final projects and work for the entire year. After that, we went around the room and signed our yearbooks with other students.
Throughout my four years of high school, my life has changed drastically. Not only have I matured and grown as an individual, but I have met new people, and experienced new events. By far the most life changing event in high school has been my girlfriend, Kaitlyn. Through my first three years of high school, I struggled with motivation. I attended classes regularly, but lacked in effort and ended up barely passing or failing most of my classes.
I knew that not focusing on my school work would come to bite me back one day. I just did not know when. Getting this report card was a warning to me - it made me realize how fortunate I was to receive an education. I was hardly the ordinary typical 7th grader down the road. If I did not start staying on top of my work, I would not lead the future I wanted.
When I think about my middle school years some memories are clear and others not so clear. What I do remember however, is how to felt once I got to middle school. Even before my first day of sixth grade I was extremely nervous. When I walked into the building of Central Middle school I instantly felt an adrenaline rush. I get nervous quite easily so rushing to find my classes didn’t help exactly.
