Left Behind

“Hurry up Abby” my mother said, “ you're going to be late for school” I rolled out of bed and started to get dressed.Now I enjoyed going to school not because I get to learn but don’t get me wrong I do but because I get to hang out with my friends.Now I was in the bathroom brushing my hair while my mom and brother were in the kitchen.Thats when I heard a door slam shut. “Mom,Oscar,” I said, “ are you guys still here?” No one replied and that’s when I realized I’ve been left.So I quickly grabed my stuff and headed toward the door.In a blink of an eye they were gone. “Oh no! they left me what am I going to do!?” I yelled. I was freaking out I was like a lost puppy because I didn’t know what to do.So I just made the choice

    Middle School Mid-Life Crisis Middle school, a time of cringe worthy moments and regret. I like to refer to this story as my “Middle School Mid-Life Crisis”, since I questioned the purpose of going to school almost every day, and never felt motivated to do anything. 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.”…

    Nicholas I sat there on the couch, flipping endlessly through the channels, but all of it was just boring Golf. Golf was always to me a boring sport for boring people, but what I have discovered was just as exciting as a nail-biter basketball game or a high-speed soccer match. I learned of a sport that I love, that at one point I never would have considered playing. I never imagined that I, of all people, would enjoy golf, but I was wrong. I believe that trying new things, leads to new interests.…

In my, My Journey paper, I could have dived deeper and “taken off my mask” in it to let people know what has really happened in my life. It has always been a hard topic to talk about, but as I have gotten older it has become easier to open up about. John O’Leary made it clear in On Fire by saying, “It’s time to embrace your story and to celebrate the amazing miracle of your life” (O 'Leary, Page 51).…
