Personal Narrative: My Test In Health Science Class

Superior Essays
As I was laying in my bed, I knew something was not right. When I looked at my alarm clock, I realized that I overslept an hour. I jumped out of bed to quickly get ready for school. By then I knew that this would be one of the longest days of my life. I never thought as I walked out of my house that morning that I would be scared to come back through it that afternoon.
I walked through the doors with my best friend as the warning bell was ringing. Audri said, “I forgot about my test in Economics. I hope it’s not too hard.” My heart dropped when she said that because I realized that I had forgotten about my medical terminology test in Health Science class. My heart began to race. I had never forgotten to study before so this feeling was new

I looked around to see if anyone was watching and slid the cards out from under my leg. I thought the coast was clear so I started using them to answer the questions.
I was almost finished when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I had been caught. In that moment I could have burst into tears in that moment. Mrs. Herd asked for my cards and my test, and she went back to her desk. I was disgusted with myself. Not only did I disappoint myself but I also disappointed one of my favorite teachers. She came back to my desk, handed me the write-up sheet and told me to take it to the office.
I silently slipped into the vacant principal’s office and placed the sheet on her desk. I then went back to class and participated because this was my fault, and I couldn’t be mad at anyone besides myself.
Later that day, I was called to the office. I was told I would have ISS for one block on the next day of school. I was terrified; I had never been to ISS.
Mrs. Herd called me into her room just after that to talk about what had happened. I was so nervous to face her, but I knew exactly what I was going to do.
I walked in. She explained that she had already called my dad to explain what had happened. What she said next shocked me. She said, “I’m very proud of you,

    As I mentioned in the previous assignment, I want to increase my baseline 500 steps each week so that by the end of the semester I am recording 10,000 steps which is in the active range. I will continue walking around the property at work and stepping in place whenever I possibly can. I will stick to walking to the mailbox which is two blocks from home as opposed to driving up to it on my way home. If I have days where I am tired I will just give myself another pep talk. I have a pretty good support system thus far so I will lean on them if pushing myself on my own does not cut it.…

    After 4 hours of math, science and history it was finally time to get our stuff and walk over to the junior high for the 8th grade graduation rehearsal.

    It was exactly 1:37PM when a call from the main office came through over the PA System that I was to report to the office to be released to my mom’s companion, Barbara. After the call came and I gathered my paraphernalia, I cogitated what could cause me to have to be released from class and be picked up so soon. “Did I have to go to the dentist to finish my root canal? No, that was last weekend. My shots for 6th grade?…

When I vigoursly research myself I expect to find past photos which I probably never knew existed, maybe a my space account, sadly abandoned as I matured through the years without it. What I did find though surprisingly did not surprise me .…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    It is the morning of July 4th, 2008: I groan as my mother gently whispers, “teneshi yene mar (Get up honey)”. Struggling I open my eyes and notice the trembling cabin, I turn to my mother with a look of concern and she reaches out her hand and squeezes my own looking up at me, “we are going to be okay Mar”. A couple of moments later our plane has landed, we gather up our belongings and make our way towards the exit filled with people attached to their screens and MP3 players. The airport is filled with an undercurrent of anticipation, impatience, and boredom; bodies scramble back and forth from one gate to another. My mother, attempting to balance three children, clasps my hand, holds my little brother to her waist and calls back to my older…

    Once we were done, she had nothing for us to do. Three-quarters of the class played on their cellular devices, while the other fourth spent the remaining of time slowly drooling on the assignment. The whole time all I could think about was how I was going to pass a test that I had taken two years ago. On top of all my thoughts, I was sure that class was not going to help me to meet the requirements needed to pass the exam. I did not want that class to prevent me from graduating, so I took matters in to my own…

    The sickness that I live with is one that some would find excessively appalling, making it impossible to talk about; so I kept it to a whisper. This sickness I thought was to embarrassing to talk about, making it impossible to seek help, left me feeling alone in the dark. This sickness ruined friendships, without me realizing it. This sickness that made getting out of bed a struggle for me. This sickness made it impossible for me to see a positive future, until the day I stopped calling myself “crazy” and began to grow from what we all call, depression.…
