The New School

New schools are intimidating as it is right? Well for me it was more than just a new school, it was new types of people, new classrooms, and a new language. It is why I say that life can put you out of place sometimes I still remember the day I had to walk in to the classroom all by myself because my mom had already dropped me off in the main office. “Are you scared?” Was the first thing my mom has asked me before dropping me off. “No” I answered without thinking. At the time I was not lying about my answer. I later came to the conclusion that The only reason I replied that was because my mom was still present. So I walk in to this classroom full of 4th grade students who were sitting at their desks quietly reading their books. The teacher later on greets me and points me to my desk that had a name tag with my name written in cursive letters. After I sat down the teacher was talking to me, but the only problem was that I did not understand a word she was saying. After that she had found out I did not know how to speak…

new school new Me? I remember the first day that I moved to Troy, Missouri. I was six years old and had only about one month left in the first grade. It was my fourth school of the year… None if it was my fault, nor the fault of my family, moving just proved to be a large hassle. Deals that were “set in stone” by the original owners crumbled upon our fingertips. That wouldn’t have been a big deal, had I not already switched schools and had to go back to my hometown class. This time it was…

Christina, I am soon to start my academic career as a Freshman. New school, new you-right? That was some playful foreshadowing for what I am going to compose in this message. Cut to the chase; I have concerns with how I will be addressed during this coming school year. Now, this is not a matter of nicknames, but a delicate situation of gender. I was assigned female at birth, but that is simply not who I am. For I am a male; a guy, a dude, whichever fits your fancy. And because of this…

The New London School explosion was one of the worst school disasters in U.S history, and the worst disaster in Texas history. In the beginning, Rusk County, New London was like any other town during the 1930’s, big on agriculture and farming. That being until the discovery of oil all throughout Texas. New London had struck gold with a deal on oil and had not only had an increase in population but in money as well. With the money the town had been earning and the people, the town experienced…

Hardships Every human that walks this Earth has experienced a hardship in one form or another. I experienced my biggest hardship in sixth grade when my family decided to move to a suburb outside of Dallas, Texas. Experiencing a new school and experiencing a completely different culture was the toughest challenge in my young life. I had to leave my hometown, friends, and family behind to explore a new place way down south. My new school was at least ten times bigger than Marshall and was much…

I hate moving. A new school every year. I have never been to a school more than two years. My Dad is in the army and I have been to a lot of different schools but I have never been to a school quite like this one. The new school that I will be going to seems really nice. They offer a lot of classes to take. I think that I will take shop and FCS (family consumer sciences). I think that I will really enjoy this school especially since I get to start my 7th grade here. I went and took a tour at…

The use of new technologies in schools, such as computers and phones, is currently a very large controversy and has taken a hold of school districts across the nation. Many schools are completely against the idea of infusing technology into education and others are all for it. Many schools are on the fence because of the cost of adding these new devices to classrooms. The possible benefits that can come out of students using technology greatly outweigh the drawbacks. Firstly, the future…

into a different house, I always had an issue with new schools. I found myself uneasy when I walked into a classroom as a new student. Classes are supposed to be a welcoming institution of learning. Instead, a frigid room with twenty-five unfamiliar staring faces greeted me. My relocation from Massachusetts to Georgia was one that especially stood out. It was my most recent relocation and it took…

The month of September is different than the summer time. Most the youth use to come to the center to fill their time with entertainment and personal development. On September 9 the new School year supposed to start, unfortunately there are strikes, later they solved, But, East African Youth Program welcomed its student members back from their long summer break and wished them on good terms with this new school year. A lot of the youth are moving from middle to high school, and this means for…

Some school districts offer new programs that allow high school students to graduate in three years instead of the traditional four years. Some schools allow students to enroll in the new program, so the pupils can graduate at faster rates. Many students agree that high school is challenging as is, and the new program will make it harder. I believe that schools should not offer the new program because it will be stressful on the students, it will occupy all the time a student has, and it will…
