Improved Essays
It hit me like a bullet. How could this be happening? All I could think about was that I must be dreaming. Eventually the, dream conspiracy I had in my mind was soon cut short as some family started arriving at my house. There was distraught sadness in the air.

Marissa, my eldest sister, had moved out of the house and was going to college in Mount Pleasant. It was a huge change I went from seeing my eldest sister everyday to seeing her maybe twice a month. School was not any better; a lot of my friends moved away or started hanging out with other people. Near the end of eighth grade things started to get better; Marissa was coming home more, I was voted into student government. Things seemed to be going my way; I also made it on the Varsity Cheerleading team; both my sisters were extremely proud of me. During that school year, my class voted me into student council for the middle school. When freshman year rolled around I was nervous because it was a huge change from middle school. I luckily had both my sisters to help me through the first couple weeks. I gained more friends and I was overjoyed that I could go to an actual high school dance. Both my sisters were there to see me off. That was one of my greatest memories. But our bond would be tested by the worst event of our …show more content…
All the bad experiences that I have had in my life shaped me into a better person. Most people think about giving up after bad things happen to them, but not me. I will always remember the lessons that my sisters taught me. Even though I only have one of my sisters here with me, I know they are both watching out for me.

    Middle School Mid-Life Crisis Middle school, a time of cringe worthy moments and regret.

Dreading almost every day of school, not having stable mental, emotional, or physical health, and feeling dissatisfied with myself as a student. My mind set was always on countdown mode, “I just have to make it through this class period. I only have 20 more problems to do.”…

    Growing up in Southern California we spent most of our summers at Lake Havasu and Parker. For as long as I can remember, getting to spend my summers on the lake with my close friends and family was what got me through the school year, knowing that for a full month I would have no cares in the world except for what adventures lay ahead of us. As the school year came to an end, all we could think about was getting to the lake to start our last summer together before we all ventured off in separate directions. Starting to pack and load up the RV was all I could think about for days, seeing as this was the last summer we would all spend together.…
