Five minutes into class the teacher had made us write something down and when we were done to raise our hands. I didn’t know that we would present to the class until last minute. That had killed me inside because I was so shy and scared because I didn’t know anybody. The first thing the teacher did was call on me to present first.

    Rivers of Rhetoric I can feel the eyes of my peers on my neck and my cheeks are burning bright red. The buzzing from the fluorescent lights fog my thoughts as I squirm in my seat, not used to being confined to a typical elementary school desk. I can’t stop getting chills, not because of the incoming blast of fog chilled north coast air, but because I’m nervous of what Ms. Morton will say. Her lips are pursed as she looks my scrawny sixth grade self up and down before she blithely asks, “what is a comma anyway?” I pause, look up, and say “I don’t know,” but here’s the thing: I didn 't need to yet.…

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise.

In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…

A loud screech-voiced over the P.A system welcoming students to a brand new day of high school. I would always hurry to the back of class not trying to grab the attention of my teachers. But they would always single me out and tell me to go grab a pass.…
