Loser, Hand Me Down, Cheap Shot, Rat, That Guy, Nerd. Kids throw names at me faster than lightning strikes trees. A good student can be another’s nightmare. Anyway, my life is a snow storm, people melting me down to puddles and others building me up. I had friends once. Now, here I am wishing on every wishbone for a true friend.
“Hurry up kiddo, the bus will be here in three minutes,” Mom said.
“What ever,” I mumbled. I hate school, well not exactly. The teachers are nice and all but the kids are evil. The school bus to me is just another opening for kids to call me names and talk about me behind my back. Mom is always telling me, “Be yourself and don’t let others change that.” That’s like telling a bullfighter to hold not move,

Nelson said had caught me off guard just like yesterday… and the day before.
“What? Oh here,” I uttered. Sometimes I’m so tired, it’s hard to feel like participating. Especially in math. All it is is a plus b and some other boring things. Mrs. Nelson is always all cheerful and talking about how great math is, and how much it matters in your life. That’s asking a lot from a kid. Each day teachers say their class is the most important, and that you should listen and study hard. It gets confusing just like the other eighteen things about school, which class you should try the hardest at and what classes don’t matter one bit.
I entered in my locker code and grabbed my superman lunchbox from 3rd grade. It’s funny how in elementary you are so cool if you have a character lunch box, but in middle school if you have one, you 're then the awkward guy.
“Hey Justin, what’s up!” Tom shouted from across the lunchroom. Everyone turned and looked at me and my lunchbox. The cafeteria exploded in laughter, a couple kids pointed at me, and others whispered to their friends. My chances of being liked were lost along with all my hope. Every time someone will look at me they will see the guy with the lunch box, not the kind and athletic

When someone who commits a crime is determined to be mentally inadequate to be held accountable for the crimes they have committed, there are things that we do to charge them, but in a lesser way because of their mental capacity. Which begs the question, why are we allowing children to be sentenced to life, when their brains aren’t fully developed? When a child commits a crime we look over that, and stop seeing them as children. We shouldn’t sentence children to a life in prison when their brains are not only underdeveloped, but also missing a good portion of gray matter.
Teen Driving All my life I dreamed of driving a car on my own, growing up my father would sit me on his lap while he drives his dads 76’ Corvette Stingray. The steering wheel vibrations, rumbling of the engine smell of hot asphalt gave me such an adrenaline rush at a young age. Ever since then, I knew as soon as I could drive I would do everything in my power to do so. When I came of age to drive, my parents didn’t trust me.
Class has just started the teacher begins to teach. When the class ends, everyone goes to the next class and the next teacher goes through the same routine, teaching the same thing. This repeats in every class, everyday, every school year. At first one would think what an amazing idea this is, not having to learn and living a carefree life, free of hard school work, stressful tests, and learning new material. However, it is human nature to want a challenge and for a change each day, to take on a new adventure when you go into a class each day.
Video Response 3 Addressing a student’s needs plays a vital part in the student’s academic success. Understanding one’s needs requires that a teacher take the steps to understanding the child’s personality traits, interests, abilities, disabilities, and so forth. Students are more likely to grasp the interest of learning a specific subject if they feel that the teacher is kind and understanding, just as Trisha and Brittany’s teachers is. Brittany’s mother mentions that a significant change is notable in Brittany’s self-esteem and grades (Kirk, Gallagher, & Coleman, 2015). Trisha certainly associates her good grades to her relationship with her science teacher and identifies her teacher as helpful (Kirk, Gallagher, & Coleman, 2015).

Being trapped I can 't-do this I can 't-do anything This is stupid I’m stupid. Everything is stupid, I quit i witnessed this moment when I had to do English homework. I feel like I don’t want to do my homework but I have to do an assignment or even just the idea of homework, often even before the work comes out of my backpack. Kids have probably never liked homework, so that’s not new, but thanks to our fast-paced, immediate gratification culture, kids today think that learning and everything else that’s mildly challenging and not fun, shouldn’t be.

High school grows you into the person you are. I have great memories, good and bad, some learning experiences and some that I’ll take with me the rest of my life. My high school experience has influenced my development as a person inside and outside of the class by making me more independent, choosing friends wisely and teachers motivating me to attend college and accomplish goals I have set for myself.

My life involved moving from school to school; as I grew older I realized that the education system in the U.S. is different than education systems in another country. I recall my first grade living in Egypt where my mom paid 500 dollars a month for me to be able to go to a good school. Living there I don’t remember much but I do recall how the teachers wanted everyone in there class to succeed no matter how hard things are for them.
