It was the last day of summer before my Junior year of high school. Belive it or not, I was actually quite excited to start school. This summer had been pretty sucessful, considering I had been all over the place. Mexico, the west coast, etc. Also during this summer, I had broken up with my boyfriend, (a complete train wreck, that's completely unnecessary to get into.) So that left me confused with my feelings. My ex had a bestfriend, who had over the past year, became one of my very close friends as well. I had constantly thought about David, and how fun it would have been to be in a relatoinship with him. I was constantly telling myself that I didn't like him, just to get him off of my mind, but the truth of the matter was that no matter …show more content…
I threw on the first thing that I found, brushed my hair, and headed downstairs. I grabbed my keys off the table, and headed out without eating breakfast. I never ate breakfast if I'm being honest. It's just never been something that I've really made an effort to do before I go to school. As I arrived, I walked into the commons like I did every morning the year before. I looked around for my friends, and finally found them after about fourty-five seconds of looking around. I walked over to them, and started talking to them about the classes that I was, and wasn't excited for. "Oh I'm taking Astronomy this year" I would say, having that be about the only class that I was excited for. "And what class are you least excited for Elicia?" "Oh come on guys. I say the exact same class every year. History is, and always will be my least favorite subject." And I wasn't lying either. History has always been my worst class. I can never find myself to concentrate, or to do the homework from that class. Everything just goes in one ear, and out the other. I always do bad on quizzes/tests, and I don't know how I manage to keep myself awake during that class. Thankfully, this year was my last having a social studies class, and that means only 9 more months of

    Going through the sophomore hallway wasn’t really my preference at all, but I needed to avoid Sarah who was already trying to follow me. Knowing the most common place I would be in was near the vending machines by the lockers, I took a different direction to get past her. The next class I had was English Literature. Daniel and the others were on the other side of the school building so I wouldn’t be seeing any of them if I had decided to pass through the lower class hallways. I didn’t really know what else to be looking forward to the rest of the day, as it was coming to an end with two classes left.…

    Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…

If you have you can imagine how I felt when I found out the harsh truth about, in my opinion, one of the major issues that has been overlooked in this country. No one really thinks about it until you really need to, but it is bigger than the “black live matter” movement that is plaguing our country right now. Don’t worry, we still have time to change it just takes a handful of people to make a difference. I just need your eyes for a moment and you can lend us a hand in fighting this battle.…

    Have you ever been 12? Probably, but everyone is different when they're 12. When I was a small 12 year old, there wasn't much to me. I was misplaced, sad, scared, and stupid. And when I say stupid, I do mean stupid.…

    I was 23 before I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. As far back as Elementary school I knew that there was something “off” in the way that I processed information. That my ability to do well academically was somehow hindered by not having certain tools that I needed, tools I wasn’t even aware existed. In high school, I began to augment my deficits with strengths. Where my grades were lacking I made up for it through creativity; I excelled at art and photography.…

    I sat there in the hard seat of my desk and waited patiently. The scent of Lysol was overwhelmingly powerful in the room, but I knew by the third week it would be overpowered by the smell of musty children and chalk dust. I could not wait for my new teacher to saunter up to me, eyes full of admiration, and give me my paper. I had worked hard on it for nearly two months during the summer prior to this new school year. Looking around the room at my new classmates, it was easy to tell who had done the summer assignments, especially with their conspicuous faces.…

    Imagine a cool, crisp, January morning waking up at my best friend’s house, I found myself tired. Knowing the events I would face today I would have needed a lot more energy than I had. Regretting that I’d stayed up all night, I got a shower then continued to get warm clothes on. As my dad pulled up my friend, Sydney, and I jumped in the car.

    Once again this was an amazing experience. Not as easy as I thought I would be, but still particularly pleasant. I really enjoyed describing the little-things-gone-unnoticed and call upon my reader’s senses. As a matter of fact, that is my favorite writing style but I never thought it took that much. I woke up, payed attention to the sounds around me…

    I expected the difficulty of the material to be harder as this was a college course, but I anticipated taking the same approach I had taken to study as previous history courses. I thought I would go to a lecture, take notes, read the textbook, and memorize the information to be reiterated on the test. However, I quickly learned that this was not going to be the typical history lecture I envisioned. On the first day of class when I heard it was a lab initially I was confused,…
