High School Narrative

Improved Essays
Through the lies and starving eyes of the monster, called life, with the nickname of high school, there was always someone lurking around every corner waiting to knock down its next victim. Waiting for someone to doubt themselves just for a second so they can whisper things to ravage everything that they have or will have. It was at the commencement of high school where I realized that we were the verdant people celebrating that everything was just one sizable voluminous fantasy and that everyone could be confided in our group of friends.I slowly had this realization back when I trusted my friends not to abandon me when I struggled to control my clandestine shadows.Ha sounds a little hysterical when you say it that way a battle of my own shadows. …show more content…
I was a mess most of that summer I ended up getting sick and losing a lot of people who I thought I could trust in so much. I cried so many times that I ran out of tears, until the point I thought that emotions were nothing but trouble . I started to believe that hoping for happiness would always lead to sadness. I fell into a deep empty hole of darkness and desperation to feel something authentic.That’s how I started my tenth grade year of high school with no friends,feelings or hope. My goal that year had been to fixate on school just school, but who was I kidding the people that hurt me were staring me in my face everyday of my life, I just could not get rid of them. All I wanted was to forget that this world, my life, had ever existed. To disappear with my emotions so long ago, but of course the people who hurt me became my friends even though I never agreed to anything. Nevertheless this time around I was more cautious and distant, I had no one to confide in because I was afraid. I did endeavor a few times, but it just seemed that I was asking an extravagant amount of one person to just avail me to fight my battles so I can win in a war against

    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.…

    The hardest thing I’ve ever went through? Let me take you back to almost three years ago to a very cold Thursday morning in January. I was sitting in history class when suddenly something very strange happened; the announcement speakers came on. To most people it would seem like it was a very typical day to day event to listen to announcements; but at my school announcements were rarely ever said. My classroom got completely silent; to the point where you could have heard a pin drop.…

    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…”…

But they would always single me out and tell me to go grab a pass.…

I disliked almost everything about it but what I did not know at the time is that by my senior year I would eventually love this school as I molded it into a place that I wanted to be at.
