Personal Narrative: My First Day At Oak Grove High School

Improved Essays
I have always gone to a school that was classified as a 2A. This means fewer students in each graduating class with no more than twenty students in a classroom. My first year ever transferring to a different school whose classification was a 6A ended up to be exciting, but most of all scary. However, when I started my new school there was numerous of students, nice staffs and teachers, but overall nobody that I knew.
My first day starting school at Oak Grove High School appears to happen three years ago. I was impressed to hear about how many students went there, and the big variety of different races that attended the school. I remember everything like it was yesterday; I was completely lost and did not know my way around. Oak Grove has over

I did not speak to anybody, I just stayed to myself. I was not brave enough to just talk to random people whom I do not know or never seen before. A few weeks started to pass by and I finally gain at least three friends and of course they were girls. The only time I got to see them was in our History class, which was the only class the four of us had together. If it was not for those girls, I would have not known anything about how everything functions around at Oak Grove High School. Later on in the middle of September I ended up finding out that one of the girls I became friends with was my cousin. Even though we did not know each other as much, I was in shock to know that I had a relative who went to the school. After discovering us being related, we ended up becoming extremely close to the point we became best friends. We did not get to finish the rest of our eleventh grade together, because she ended up moving to another school. When she left I did not hang with no one else, I stayed to myself from that day forward on up to the day I got ready to graduate.
I believe I made the best decision ever by completing my last two years of high school at Oak Grove. Even though there are numerous of students, nice staffs and teachers, and I do not know anybody. I would highly recommend anyone to let their child or children attend this school to receive a good

    "Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence" I have had many ups and downs over the course of my life thus far. One specific example of this took place during my freshman year of high school. When I started high school it was very challenging for me, partially due to the fact that; during this time, I was lazy, unmotivated and did not really take school seriously. This by far is one of my biggest regrets to this day. Who would ever think that not trying during my freshman year would continue to follow me throughout the course of my academic career.…

    My first week of high school was pretty good. I like all of my teachers, and my classes are in a good order.

    The semester before my freshman year I applied to an early college high school; I knew that I was going to have more work than if I had went to the traditional high school, but I knew I could do it. At first I was doing well, but as time went on the work became more challenging and frequent eventually my grades fell and took my pride with it. I wanted to transfer to the traditional high school in my neighborhood, but changed my mind after a talk with one of my professors. She helped me to recognize that if I quit not only would I be throwing away the work that I did do, but I’d also be preventing myself from seeing what work I could do. I took that seed of information and turned it into a tree of motivation.…

    My family and I were there for a couple years before we got involved with another school. At Learning for Life I gradually learned more about doing things in and with a group, which progressed even more as I was there. A close friend of my parents suggested a different Charter School named Gorman Learning Center. To keep a long story short, the school’s leadership was not very good, so my parents became a crucial part in remodeling and restoring it. Gorman Learning Center is the school that I eventually graduated from.…
