Personal Narrative: My Life In East Oakland

As I got up to higher grades, like seven and eight, I realized school was going to be fairly advanced and I had to start trying immensely. That’s when I took things into consideration and seriously. A light sparked in my head for me to change and improve. I’ve changed drastically from Middle school by having an advanced maturity, a change in physical appearance,

Despite working hard at practice every day, I was not able to get faster. I was determined to get better so I would go home, watch videos, and learn the techniques. All of my friends and family motivated me to not give up. I started to attend every competition and even though I was not coming out in the first place, I kept trying.

“Otherwise you won’t survive.” She took this new knowledge and started to gain momentum. She Started learn the english language then everything became better. She could ask for help and she started to move through school faster and she understood what was being taught. She was able to get a job she was able to graduate and get a better job.

It was weird seeing them fight so much because they never did. I could tell something was going on but I decided to keep quiet because it was not my place to interject. So I carried on and hoped they would work out whatever was going on. I continued to go to Emma's everyday since we had so much time off.

It took me about 2 years to find myself and know where I belonged. My behavior has improved, I know how and when to approach people. I’m also more involved with my education and I make goals for myself. I’m done having

I was a smart kid, I would wake up each morning making food and tuck myself in at night by myself. I was lonely painfully lonely I cannot explain the pain I felt as a child, but no kid doesn’t have the right to go through the stuff I went through. But to shake it off my mind, I would hang out and play with all the kids out in the streets. A year passed by my father and mother started fighting day and night my father would even physically abuse my mother even when she was pregnant with my Lil brother. At the time I was 5 I didn’t knew what to do but cry, praying to god to help my family.

My friends in North Syracuse were extremely supportive of me and I could not be more grateful for that. They taught me to be accepting of everyone, and they helped me become a less shy person. When I was younger I was not a fan of talking to and being around people I did not know. My friends in North Syracuse kind of led me out of my shell, which really helped when I moved to a completely new area. The friends I have now remind me of my friends I had in North Syracuse.

He could use them against me if he wanted, but he never did. I cried for a week and soon I began to be able to live my life without

I always played with my friends when I am a kid, since I am so young, so I am so energetic and favoring adventure and seeking for something, so I traveled all over the streets and everyone look so familiar to me and known me so well. I was a trouble maker when I am young, break windows, take away the stick part of the broom and pretended it was my weapons and fight with other kids. But all those memories look really far form me now, it has been 7 or 8 years from that time, all the cell in the human body will be replace by other cells in 7 years, although all the cell been replaced, but some others don’t. I decide to believed this 7 years theory, even though it was prove as a false idea. I was wondering that times change everything, it can wash off your pains and change a person in to out.

In school people have many moments that are very unique to them. Some moments are life changing while also being developmental, but others stay with us and improves our skills in certain areas rather it be in English, Math or Science. We all learn new things but even when we learn new things we still must remember the things that we learned and sometimes its helpful when you have a helping hand or a lasting effect on you. It was the beginning of August, school was just starting to roll around.

But the thing is, there are so much of these people who are different than you. Getting along with them and having a good relationship is so hard that sometimes you have to give yourself up and become a new kind of person. This might sound really odd, but that’s the way I have been trying since last 2 years and it worked pretty well. You can not expect others to change their all traits and attitudes, there must be a moment when you have to make concessions and just react to them with a big smile. The point is, when you realize that you are one of the minority and are different than others, in my case everyone who were born in United States, however, and want to be accepted to their group, you have to be the first person who changes yourself and is willing to be accepted.

The school year my senior year has improved for both students and teachers releasing stress that the board had caused for the district. Along that, a new administration was set forth because of the sacrifices that our teachers have made to improve the quality of education for Arvada High School. But I felt that this incident had a point to show that people should pay more attention to their community and not stray ignorant of the things happening around them. I knew that that was the cause the led this situation with the board

School has taught me a wide array of knowledge that will assist me when I get into the real world. It has helped me have better reasoning, problem solving, and memory skills. Without school, I wouldn’t be nearly as intelligent or mature as I am today. I also wouldn’t have met all of my friends, who’ve helped shape me into the man I am today. As I’ve gotten deeper into my education, I realized that every year the stress levels and stakes get a bit higher.

Attending a small school for now 5 years, I understand that most kids at my age go to a larger middle school with a graduating class of approximately 200-300 kids in their class, but going to a large school, teachers don 't have time to spend on a specific individual for many things, and I find myself lucky to get that at North Cape. Going through many situations and conflicts at North Cape led me in temporary unfortunate paths, but greatly impacted my reason to try and change to become a more successful individual in my education and life that made a permanent change. It all started 7th grade year, I wasn 't trying, it was as simple as that, until I received a suspension that was for an unnecessary conflict. I then had decided to try and get good grades and do something worth my time and put a smile on my family’s face. Because of the decision I made, things got better and made me feel better as a person, and made me realize I’m not only doing this for my family; I 'm doing it for myself.

In a world where things are always changing and getting better we get to the topic of Osage High School and its change. The school has turned a little outdated with not adding the proper improvements like other school have in the area. Now I am totally for the new renovations of the school to in hopes to get student more comfortable and proud of the school. Overall I feel as if the new additions will improve the school and the students in it.
