Why I Chose to be a Student Bingham Academy When I started my 9th grade year, I had a best friend. Not even a quarter of the way into my school year, they had betrayed me. They lied to me and they lied about me. In one confrontation where I asked for my phone back because they had been using it, they told me that I was useless and that I should kill myself. That was when my parents and I decided that I needed to switch schools. During this time, I started talking to an old friend again. We were best friends in the 6th grade and we didn’t talk much that summer which, consequently, caused us to lose touch. After talking to them again, they had mentioned something about them going to Bingham Academy. Bingham Academy, what was this school that …show more content…
I had a hard time going back to Blackfoot High because of how terrible my life had become while I was there and how much better my life had become in that one day at Bingham Academy. I could’ve decided to go to Firth or Shelly, but my parents and I wanted me to stay in Blackfoot. Due to this desire, I went to Bingham Academy instead. All I knew is that I did not want to stay at Blackfoot High. I did well academically while I studied there, but social pressures are a big deal, especially at my age. Walking around school knowing that my previous friend was telling people that “I was a terrible person” and that I “didn’t deserve friends,” was unquestionably difficult for me to focus in class. I was extremely close to feeling like I was less that a human, more of a nobody that didn’t matter. It’s the next school year, I’m in the 10th grade now, and I am not as depressed as I was. I have friends that I trust and they support me. Really, it’s fantastic here. I’m different, yeah, but I’m accepted here, and I like that. I don’t know anyone that likes to feel left out. Being here has made me less depressed, more confident, and I almost feel like it has made me slightly less socially awkward (due to me having to make new
This school is a tradition is my family. My great grandpa, grandpa, father, and now my brother attends as a very successful student and athlete. This school has changed my life drastically. I do not live with my brother, Will. Which is hard for all my family.
And things started going good again. I finicky went to school! My school was the district one-room. Then after that I when attended Black River Academy in
Satire: 16 & Pregnant “Hi, I’m Betty and I’m from Jefftown, West Carolina. I live at home with my grandparents because my parents we’re too young to take care of me. I spend my day’s at home watching t.v., cooking, and lurking on social media. My boyfriend and I just recently broke up. But never mind that, I have other things to be worrying about because I’m pregnant.”
With their help I left John Edgar Howard elementary school with a strong head on my shoulders, and the devotion to strive for more. I had to move to a different elementary school because John Edgar Howard Elementary ended up being closed, because of the rough neighborhood. I then, attended Bradbury Heights; a school that I didn’t know existed. I was never exposed to many different neighborhoods, or opportunities. I managed to graduate and proceed to middle school where I continued my athletic career of basketball, and outstanding academic profile.
Have you ever been so close to a goal but you lack of confidence wouldn’t let you fly? Growing up, I have never been the most confident person, which has caused me to fail certain things. The time when I experienced a failure was when I didn’t get accepted into Newark Tech Vocational School. My family moved to from Miami, Florida to Irvington, New Jersey during the summer of 2012 due to financial issues. The move was like a fresh start, which I certainly wasn’t elated about.
This school had diversity, respect, and a place for all students from kindergarten to eighth grade. After graduation all local feeder schools merged into the high school, Berks Catholic. This was a place to start over or grow into the person you desire to become and to make friends. I was so overwhelmed and could not have been more happy in life once I arrived, but it took less then a school year for me to realize I was unhappy. I was denied from starting my own club to help less fortunate kids in my area, my
I’ve always wondered why people with a little or a lot of power tend to treat you unjustly. I’ve experienced many times when people with power treated me poorly. There were times in school with teachers, in school with principles and even out in public places. When I experienced these moments they made me feel like there were something wrong with me or I was different. Also, it made me feel like I was different from others… but not in a good way.
Instead of the person that is ready to get as far away as they can from their high school I have now come to realize that my heart is in Rocky Point. I feel an obligation to make Trask great.
This created a great rift between me and the people that had been my friends. I began trying to hang out with friends but found they were always busy while I was home reading, waiting for an adventure. I had managed to keep a few of my friends and these people are still my friends today, but first I had to deal with being solitary for a while. After I accepted the way school, and friends were going to go I only faced one obstacle. Almost my entire life changed after my move, I had a new routine, some new friends, and a new way I had to learn.
Believe it or not we all fit in our own categories, but we come together as one in the end. No one should ever feel like they are isolated. Feeling like you belong improves your motivation, health, and mind to discover new people and things. Improving your motivation can be caused from feeling like you belong. If you are in trouble and you feel like you can fit in then ,“You are far more likely to reciprocate to help others who are in the similar position in the future”
As enormous as Duncanville is, there are many places in this high school that will leave behind precious and unforgettable memories. For someone that has spent their whole four years here, I’m pleased to say that I have enjoyed myself and strived to my fullest. I strived to my fullest but, I am not what you would call smart or popular. I’m just a student that attempts to make decent grades and get by. I wasn’t active in after school activities or events as much as I wanted to be.
Thanks to that, we didn’t feel all alone in the world. This is a feeling I’m sure many of my classmates have (and have had) even today, which leads me to believe that this otherness is completely normal. Its various manifestations and the reasons behind them are what really makes the difference,
I always wanted to attend a private high school because they are known for being the best in sports, and most of my friends would be attending a local private school. However my parents wanted me to transfer to Burlingame High School, which was known for its strong public school academics and athletics. While most of my friends attended the other high school, I had to adjust and make new friends in a new environment. This would become the most significant challenge that I’ve faced, attending high school while not knowing
The greatest part about going to that school was lunch time as you walked into the cafeteria the sun shined in your face because the windows were so tall that you could see the dark blue sky or the grey rainy clouds but the smell of the food is what made it the best the smell of the nacho meat the smell of the melting cheese the sizzle the burgers would make as the lunch lady's put it on the grill the sweet taste of the ranch dressing in your mouth from hamburgers all seemed great all was great I said to myself, “ this year will be better for sure no trouble from me” I had made some friends a couple and as the year went on the group of friends got bigger and my first year of middle school was great until it got to the middle of the year and that’s when things started to get a little bit upsetting if you would say I can’t really remember the exact date this happened but it was a cloudy cold day me and my friends had just finished eating lunch we went under the covered to hang out when another one of their friends walked up and I thought he’d be chill but he ended up kicking me in an unpleasant spot I got back up and the people who I walked with they circled up around me and started kicking me in the same place people saw but no one dared to help me so they just stood there and watched me getting kicking I recognized some of the people who were watching I had called them my friends just like I had once called the people who were kicking me “friends” they stopped kicking me I
This experience, this turmoil and constant painful life pulled me away from everyone I knew, and everyone I loved. Eventually I accepted that I the life I had was no longer working for me, so under the advisement of one of my social workers I transferred to an alternative school, namely City School.
