Personal Narrative: My Year Was Insane

Improved Essays
This year was insane. As I reflect upon my year, it still astounds me that I managed to muddle through. It was calming knowing I had a few laudable and precocious mentors to help guide me through this year, for which they nearly made up for the actions of those inexorable people. Aside from the incompetent and avid acquaintances, many factors made this inscrutable place a little less scary. I can’t speak for others, but I loved this year, and truly wonder how I will be able to leave such munificent teachers, new-found friends, and an amazing curriculum behind. Not to say I did not have my troubles at times, but this year turned out to be one of the best I could ask for. Until I began looking back on my year, I never realized how much I changed. I walked into this school bright eyed and bushy tailed, into this new and querulous place, full of excitement and wonder. It never occurred to me that it would be any formidable, or could be any better. I was ready for just another year, same studying, same homework, but then we started getting into the swing of things.

I am working on becoming less meticulous and being more opportune with my time management. It’s a shame this capricious year must fade into the sunset, but I will treasure the memories I have made with my friend and the knowledge my teachers bestowed upon me for my whole life. I am just a plebian girl going to school like anyone else, but I could not ask for a better school, with better people, or more qualified and apollonian teachers that surround us in our everyday lives. This year has been insane, but I’m glad it was. It made it exciting, incredible, and I could not be prouder to be a part of our wonderful Emmaus High School, because I think I did just

    Coming into Geneseo during the summer was something I was not looking forward to. I wanted to just jump into the school year and saw the summer as a waste of time. At the end of the summer I was wrong, and I at this point couldn’t be more thankful that I was able to be apart of it. Following with the INTD class into the school year I just saw it as another class that I just had to pass. What I didn't realize was how much I would learn about myself throughout the summer and fall semester.…

    This year has been a crazy one. I came from a public school, not knowing anyone, so I terrified and didn't know what to expect. I struggled with trusting others, time management and battling multiple tasks at once. Luckily, I had a lot of practice throughout the year. For instance when we had to record a News Show for Mr.Mora's class, I was faced with all of these problems.…

    It's been almost 4 months into my Senior year and I can almost feel the pressure building upon my shoulders; realizing now that I have accomplished many grades to come up to this final grade, I find myself standing in a position where everything and all the things that I do throughout this year must be impeccable. Knowing that I am sprouting, my responsibilities and capabilities of accomplishing academic levels have been more than overwhelming, every single day I push my self to complete assignments for certain classes I am enrolled in, turn in due date work and make sure that work is almost to it's finest needs, but even that has not provided enough energy for me to quit. I feel that each day I'm growing stronger and stronger through…

    December 11th, roughly. Five years and one month ago was the date that not only my life and surroundings changed and not to sound cliché, so did I as a person. I remember it vividly it was summer in South Africa, as our seasons are flipped to those in the states. Nevertheless it being summer I had a winter coat on because I knew it was winter in the U.S. but I didn't know how cold it would be so I dressed accordingly to how I felt it would be in a place where it snows.…

    The end of the day comes whether you have gotten up to do something productive or if you have simply remained inanimate while time moves around you. I have found that the present slips away while you are worrying about the future. We are constantly telling ourselves that if we just get through this, then everything after will be better. We forget to appreciate the moment while constantly reaching for a hypothetically more fulfilling life. Once we graduate high school, or get through a challenging class, or finish a workout, everything after will get easier.…

    This term has been quite interesting, I got to come into a new classroom, with new kids, all younger than me. I was an intern in Mrs. Holzbauerś 8th grade class at Nature Hill Intermediate.

I always aimed to be like Mrs. Holzbauer, in the sense that she is very positive and always so encouraging, without being strict or boring. I entered this classroom without many of the qualities I possess now.…

    This semester has been a very difficult, stressful, and challenging for me . High School can not compare the amount of stress I had to face in this fall semester at Hostos Community College. However, it is like that with many other students because making a transition is frightening and many of us find a way to run away from it. Everything in life is a challenge and it is scary as well, but for those who want to study it all starts of with college. It took me more than words to actually realize the reality that I am actually living right at this very moment because, I was not expecting so many things to fall apart, but somehow becoming whole again.…
