Making good grades and staying positive throughout the year was my main objective. I chose to graduate early, so this was really everything I ever wanted. I did not have many friends, but I did have two named Shamari and Isreeal. Well at least one of them were. Shamari and I had been friends since we were little girls in elementary school.

I soon got the opportunity to sit in front of the superintendent and explain everything. She was not sympathetic at all, but she did give me a chance to prove myself.

I talked to my teacher and told her how I felt about the situation. She was very understanding and was willing to put in more effort to get me through my senior year. After a couple weeks, I was back on my feet and in school with my peers. I was able to walk across the stage in my cap and gown after combating a major obstacle, and I could not have felt any

    Since the first day, time has been flying really fast. Starting a fresh new day, meeting the same teachers and same old friends, I still cannot imagine that I am now a senior! In my senior year, there will definitely be a lot of challenges and obstacles for me to conquer, but I believe that as long as I do everything step by step, I can beat down the difficulties in this senior year.

Luckily, I had research method class last year, so I knew how to do my APA style references and I had many presentations experiences last year.…

As a homeschooler entering school system for the first time, and having completely skipped 8th grade, it was terrifying. I had no idea what to expect, I worried about being behind the other students, or having missed something in my homeschooling curriculum, even interacting with other kids was all unfamiliar. It definitely didn’t help that, at 13, I was the youngest person in the building. Just two days into the school year, I discovered that P-AP world…

At this point it was actually my principal Mrs. Kershaw, who sat me down to have a talk with me. She knew what was wrong, and she knew just what to say. She told me that it may be my childhood and old family memories that I am trying to cling on too, but what I was doing in that classroom what I will do in the classrooms after that would affect my life further…
