Ira’s First Narrative
The sun dwindled between the closed curtains.The smell of s'mores filled the room, reminding me of yesterday when my sister and I melted marshmallows and made Rice Krispie Treats late at night, the perfect time to bake. It filled me with joy, especially since today was the last day I could enjoy time alone with my sister, Neha.
My alarm went off at exactly 6:50 as planned. I muttered a displeasing " Five more minutes!", before realizing summer was over. Neha and I were alone in the house and she was still asleep which meant I could do whatever I wanted. My sister and I had a long lasting reputation of destroying each other’s mornings. Good Times I thought. After today she would go to college, and prank calling would be out of the question,

That was the only thing I was excited about. In private school, everyone lived in completely different places and I couldn’t have any playdates. But I would get to make new friends around the area that I would actually get to play with.
Later, my mom came home and we started out the door, walking to my new school with my sister, for the last time ever.
“You’re going to have so much fun!” my sister exclaimed.
“Yeah, I finally get to walk to classes.”
Halfway across the path, I thought about how independent I was going to be when I walked onto campus for the first time. But as I approached closer, I realised how much I wanted my sister to cross with me. Though I dragged her along the entire day, I wanted her to just come a step closer with me to the front of the campus. But once I reached the stairs she laughed.
“I’m not allowed to go there. This is your first day of school, not mine.”
“Yeah but I don’t even know where my first class is!”
She pushed me down the stair and pointed. There was only one direction I could go. I trusted my sister to know what I was doing but I didn’t trust myself. I just kept walking forward until I eventually reached the 6th grade

    I have always been independent, but I fully seeked independence when I was 16 years old. This was the year of 2016, and this was the year that my life changed; I was forced to grow up and learn how to be more independent. The first step to my seeking of independence was turning 16 years old and getting my driver’s license. This meant I was finally able to go out on my own and not rely on others to take me places anymore. In the year of 2016, I also began taking classes at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute to earn college credits.…

    This was okay with me though, I am actually always up to meeting new people, so I didn’t have any issues going around meeting new people at all. I’m not really the shy type that won’t socialize and even though I had previously been homeschooled, for several years, before coming back here, I feel that I actually had better socialization skills than most of the people here which just goes to show that the stereotype of having to go to public school to learn socialization and also that people from public school are better socializers is completely false. Aside from meeting new people and the new building, it was a major adjustment having to get on a “regular” schedule of waking up at such an early hour every morning, having to go to school from 7:40am to 2:40am, and all the different classes that I was forced to take. Previously at online school, it wasn’t mandatory that you did every class every day, so I would actually chunk it up and do different classes each day, so it wouldn’t get too dreadful like it is here. All this school stuff though is relatable to when Jeannette was going to the different schools and locations and had to adjust to her surroundings, get to know people, and try to fit in the best that she could.…
