Personal Narrative
I have been to three different schools throughout my entire life. These schools have shaped me into what i am today. I have always thought that everything happens for a reason. Going to these three different schools has led me to where I am today. I’ve experienced a lot throughout the past couple of years. The first school I had ever been to was Cimarron High School. I started there when I was in kindergarten. Throughout those years I had a tough time making friends. I wasn't necessarily rich and to be popular there you had to have a known last name. I remember at recess none of the girls would like me because I was always playing football and soccer with their boyfriends. Maybe they were just jealous because I could …show more content…
I had heard about there being gangs and fights happening in the school and coming from a small town where nothing ever happens except, someone robbing the bank and getting away with it, I was scared.

When I saw some of the girls we were playing I knew that it was going to be really tough. The first time I got into that game a 5’1 black girl drove on me and as I tried taking a charge she lowered her shoulder and dropped me harder than I've ever hit the ground. I knew then that 6A ball was way tougher than anything I've ever
