Dream High School Narrative

Improved Essays
I tried to wipe the slippery tears from my face and tried to hold the rest back, but no matter my efforts they defied me and kept coming. I tasted the saltiness of the tears as they reached my mouth, I tried wiping my tears again, but more just replace them. I never thought I would cry at my sister’s graduation, and less for the reason I was actually crying for. Just minutes before I had felt like my heart had sunk into the pits of my stomach. I was not a brat who was crying because she is at her sister 's graduation, because that’s not true. In less than 14 hours I would be graduating from Middle School, I was happy but also very anxious. Although, Middle school was awkward, I had made so many memories with many of the people I had met along the way. My dream high school was the very high school where my sister …show more content…
The school that my mother wanted me to go to was back in the town I lived in. My middle school was a 20-minute drive from my house and so was my dream high school, which was where all friends were going to. My parents had decided to send me to this certain middle school because we didn’t live in the best area and so the schools weren’t that great either. This high school where I was now forced to go was also in a bad area, but my mother worked there so she could keep tabs on me, I hated the idea of this. I graduated middle school and of course tears were shed and hearts were broken by the news that I would not be seeing them the next school year. I thought that the summer break leading up to high school would be horrible considering my Mom was making me go to this , which in my opinion was, a dumb summer program so I could, in my Mom’s words “ make friends”. I was totally and utterly furious with my Mom and resented her for sending me to the high school I barely spoke to her when she picked me up and dropped me

    Looking back on it, on how I got to where I am. I don't know how i did it, when you run into something ,with the power to knock you down- you get back up! I've considered myself a sort of mellow guy, but I can be very intense. It's funny because you can't tell by looking at me. Most people say they can't read me, but I think i am a fairly simple guy.…

    It was nearing the end of the 5th grade and I started to realize that I wouldn't be going to the same middle school as all of my friends. The administrators came to our school to tell us about middle school and not one of my friends or people I knew said that they would get to Shadow Ridge. They all said that they would go to Rocky Top. I had one person say that they were going to Shadow Ridge. They were one of my best friends.…

    1. How will you fit The Prospect into your busy high school schedule? When will you do your assignments, and how will you complete your TP work on a particularly busy week? I'd like to say that I'm naturally adaptive to time-crunch situations. In junior year, I took on two internships that both had scheduled meetings, work agendas, and time-consuming projects.…

    At the time, I was a blithe third-grader who really enjoyed going to my private school everyday and seeing all of my friends and teachers, as well as getting to play on the colorful playground. The thought of moving to a public school never entered my mind, and I never planned on leaving my private school. However, the bills my parents had to pay for me to attend the private school were beginning to become overwhelming, and too much money was going into these bills instead of more important matters, such as insurance or medical payments. Therefore, near the end of December, during my winter break, my parents came up to me and directly told me that in January, I would no longer be attending the private school and instead, go to a public school. Upon hearing this, I thought they were joking, but once I realized that they were serious, I was suddenly terrified, confused, sad, and angry all at the same time.…

    Growing up I was always the tallest kid in the class. Whenever class picture day rolled around, I knew that I was in the front of the line because of my height. It was somewhat embarrassing when all the boys were shorter than I, and the girls made me feel bad for how out of place I was. Not only did my height provide social awkwardness, it also administered the constant, never ending struggle of finding garments long enough. Whenever my mom or grandmothers wanted to take me back to school shopping, I made excuses of “I don’t need any more habiliments” or “I do not feel good, all of the sudden…”…

    Freshmen year was honestly pretty good I had a lot of friends and had a lot of fun in my classes with them, going into Brunswick High School I was a little bit nervous just the fact I would be at the bottom of the totem pole now and would possibly be picked on by the older kids but it turned out to be just a myth, but some of them were definitely scary looking. Some other things I was afraid of was what the class load would be like I didn't know exactly how much tougher it would be but it honestly wasn't to much tougher than middle school. The teachers here were fairly nice didn't have many problems with them but they did definitely hold your behavior to a higher standard. High school was a change from middle school definitely just because…

    My high school experience at High Point High School began as frustrating then it became positive. Being academically independent, since elementary school, I did not feel that high school was going to be a major difference, but I did not take into consideration of a new ambiance with new challenges. One thing that remained the same was the fact that I was always reserved and I stayed to myself. I thought that in high school I was going to be able to leave my shell and be more outgoing. I was wrong, I am still shy and still quiet, but high school did teach me valuable concepts that I will carry on through college.…
