Personal Narrative: The Seneca High School Community

913 Words4 Pages

You drive into the parking lot, a wide field to your right, and you lay your eyes on the forest green roof. Students and potential are flowing through the doors like water through a floodgate. Coffee cups in hand, the drowsy students begin to perk up as they make eye contact with their peers. This is the Seneca High School Community. You finish paying for your ticket and walk into the bleachers for a Friday night football game. Your eyes fall on the fan section called “The Bird’s Nest” and see the massive crowd of painted faces and FatHeads of players staring back at you. The Bird’s Nest was full of everything- eager students, countless tutus, and an extensive feeling of pride. This is the Seneca High School Community. You stroll down the main C hallway downstairs while the students are in various classes. Students solving problems, stopping to assist their peers, and speaking Spanish are all throughout different classrooms. This is the Seneca High School Community. …show more content…

For the past 67 school days, I have shared a smile with a different student before the first period bell rings. Another student comes along after me, but they do not smile or hold the door for their peers.

Even at this early hour, the Seneca High School Community shares experiences and enhances its

    1235 Words  | 5 Pages

    Two social institutions that seemed to play a role into the performance of the team were the school they attended, Manassas High School, and the church that the members of the team attended.

A speaker in the film stated that when Manassas high school was being remodeled, they seemed to run out of resources at a certain point and never ended up finishing the athletic portion of the school.

    “Darn, surrounded by all of these nice homes and communities, this High School should be really nice,” is what I thought once I got to the North Druid Hills Rd and North Cliff Valley Way intersection. In front of me all that I could see was vibrant communities that displayed their affiliation with the Lenox area, which is a very rich area. Making a left onto North Druid Hills Road, I continued to see beautiful homes on my right and my left I began to see the campus of Cross Keys High School. Due to the tons of leaves that had fallen, the bare trees that occupied the front of the campus, and the splotchy patches of grass, viewing the Cross Keys campus was not as striking to the eye as was the view of the surrounding homes.
