• First Day of School (August 24th, 2016):

This is the day it all began. I never would’ve expected this year to go as quickly as it did. Although the year passed by for me quickly, it was full of drama, friendship, sadness, stress, and an overall empty feeling. The first day was nothing remarkable, just a start to something that felt new again. That’s why I always remember the first day, it snaps me out of my summer attitude and hits me hard to prepare for the long year of hard work ahead. I can’t remember every singly detail of the first day but I do remember giving my first impression to new friends and new teachers. This today was the prologue, my introduction, and I’d say that’s a pretty important

It’s easy for friends to get in fights, but the way they get out fights shows how strong a friendship truly is. Over winter break my friend Sam and I got into a “fight” (the kind where we don’t talk to each other) and it created a shift in our group of friends. It started from something as trivial as a conversation and kept spiraling into things worse. Eventually as a month or two passed, things died down and we started talking again. We started to become even closer than we were last time, and that to me was the beauty of this situation. Despite getting into a terrible conflict we were able to get out of it and emerge into a new stage of our …show more content…
It’s because we focus on what separates us rather than what unites us. I go to Sunday School at the Islamic Center of Southern California and we focus on developing an American-Muslim identity and encourage interfaith dialogue. Our trip to a temple/Jewish Sunday School happened after Earth Day so both schools traded books with one another to stop wasting trees by making paper for new books. On the trip we focused on the aspects of religion that held our people together. We talked a lot about the Exodus, common prophets in Judaism and Islam, and compared our religious books.

    My Junior year of high school, two best friends on my cheerleading team had a falling out and the events between them greatly affected their ability to work together. We were all members of the same stunt group along with another girl who was unaware of the problem. In practice, none of our stunts were working very well because both girls were putting less energy into the lifting me so the other would have to put more into it. I was not aware that they had a falling out, but after being dropped on the floor multiple times, I took them aside to talk to them. They refused to talk to me together, so I talked to them one on one.…

    When I thought of the first day of junior year I automatically thought of a good day. I thought of waking up extra earl, doing my hair and makeup and just having a great start to an amazing day. Once the day came through it began as nothing I had expected. The day began with the bright yellow light that radiates from my ceiling fan shining into my eyes and the smell of freshly brewed coffee greeting me. I finally managed to pry my eyes open and actually welcome the scent of the brewed coffee and the sight of my white wall.…

    These last four years have been a whirlwind for me. Between school, gymnastics, extra curricular activities, work, cheer, and many more activities I have to say I have been very busy throughout my high school years. There has been ups and downs, yet through all of them I have learned valuable lessons that I will take with me as I go off to college. I tried to challenge myself each year in a different way, being able to look back and reflect on them is a great way to see how far I’ve come since that first day as a freshman on crutches nervous as all get-out to attend Auburn Riverside High School. Freshman year, I started off the first month of school on crutches, and the following two months in a boot.…
