It’s freshman year, I’m having lunch with my best friend Stephanie and some girl who use to be her best friend. Cool right? Stephanie and I went to go get some Jamba Juice inside the cafeteria, Britney caught up to us about a minute later.
On our way back to our usual lunch spot I see a very attractive guy. Nice eyes, nice smile, and pretty tall.
So I told Stephanie “Hey, that guy is super cute.”
She replied “Yea, he’s alright.”
We have totally different taste in guys.

About two weeks later he texted, called, and try to talk to me at school. All he would say is that he was sorry and that he was stupid for saying that. After a couple of days of hearing him beg for another chance I decided to give him another.
Chris and I broke up during the summer and we didn’t really speak much. Towards the end of summer heading to sophomore year Chris and I were obviously trying to get back together again. But just two weeks before school starts he starts talking to some girl named Alejandra, just like my name. A week later they start dating. Go figure. I was obviously devastated because he led me on. But Chris and I never stopped talking. I got over it and said to myself if he’s happy then that’s all that matters. They ended up breaking up around December. I dated one guy named Carlos, he was a senior at the moment. We always walked to every class together and on occasions we’d bump into Chris. Of course Carlos knew about him and he was okay with us being friends. But the day before my birthday Chris “accidently” bumped into us. Chris decided to carry me to class and left Carlos alone. Carlos let it go for that second but once I saw him after class he was so angry. I was leaving to Mexico on December 15th which was in five days. Those five days went by quick and Carlos decided to make every day count. The day came and I

We ended up having sex. Let me just say it was one of the best days.
Graduation day was here. Chris didn’t graduate because he hadn’t pass his writing proficiency. He was devastated. So I tried to not talk about graduation with him.
Later one say he then said to me “I know why you don’t talk about graduation with me. But it’s okay. I’ll graduate later. But just know that I’m so proud of you. You did it. You deserve this, you’ve worked so hard for this. I love you.”
I then said “When did I get so lucky to have you? I love you. You’ll graduate soon and I’ll be there when you cross that stage. I’m always going to be there for you.”
He didn’t attend graduation because it was too much for him. But he texted me right after it ended. Saying how proud and happy he was for me, he repeatedly said I love you and that he was so lucky to have me.

Chris then later graduated in August. I didn’t attend his graduation because he invited some girl he liked. Which is his mom’s best friend’s daughter. But I’m still proud of him. We’re still great friends and hopefully will always

    Kurt Vonnegut had delivered quite a few commencement speeches during his time. One in particular, at Rice University, contains a multitude of rhetorical strategies that exemplified the quintessential speech genre. Vonnegut used this genre’s conventions in order to convey his overarching message to the new graduates, as they leave the university. His message to the new generation was to reflect back on their own lives, pause, and consider, “If this isn’t nice, what is?” In other words, the main message was to appreciate what they have at the moment.…

    There are so many students out there in low-income communities who do not know what it is like to have someone who wants to see them succeed, someone who wants to see them achieve regardless of their race or economic status. I seek to join Teach for America for many reasons and three of those reasons are; for one, I want to help make a difference in the lives of students, I want the students that I encounter to know that I care about their education, I want to see them succeed and I want them to know that I have very high expectation of them. Secondly, growing up in a low-income community myself, I can relate to these students. I want my students to know that just because they are currently living in an underserved community, it does not mean…

    Friday Mornings I rushed my full stomach to my room and I pulled out the bottom of my semi formal clothings and pants drawer. Being the control freak that I am, I also picked out my brother’s outfit. My mother was kind enough to let me select my own outfit to school as a second grader. Enrolled in a small, private, and conservative Christian school, where the moms are very in everyone’s business; not many of my friends were allowed to pick out their “free friday” outfits. Although now, I wish my mother would restrict some of the things I wore.…

    The leaves started to change and I finally felt like new again. It was my junior year and all I wanted to do at this point was get the heck out of high school. I had maybe two or three good friends that I could actually count on at the time. I didn’t really have any of those good friends during my lunch period and was forced to have pointless conversations with irrelevant girls who only cared about their image and how popular they are in high school. My viewpoint of high school now was completely changed.…

    Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…
