Personal Narrative: A Normal School Day

Improved Essays
Being a high school student is composed of restless nights, and eight exhausting hours of classes in which you are obligated to stay awake in. A normal school day begins with me snoozing my alarm about ten times before my dad walks into my room telling me the dreaded “time to get up for school” reminder which I just take as a suggestion. Normally I will drag myself into the bathroom about ten minutes later to begin my routine. I spend about 40 minutes in the bathroom preparing myself for school and by the time I am done it is usually time to grab all of my things and barely catch the bus.

    It was the first day of sixth grade when a pudgy boy with greasy hair and loud freckles had approached me. His name was William Grimm. Eyes beady with mirth, a mocking smirk on pink lips as he pointed to my notebook, “It’s that a Bratz notebook?” I could feel the dread and embarrassment come over me as I sunk into my seat. I loved Bratz, I loved to play with dolls.…

    I walked outside the house door ready for a game of jumping into a pit of straw. I opened one of the two big deck boxes, pulled out and put on an everyday shirt with a rip in the armpit, a pair a light blue jeans with a patched knee, a cracked leather belt that perfectly slid in the loops of the jeans and a scuffed up pair of steel toe boots that are so heavy it feels like I have weights on my feet when I take a step. The year is 2012, it is a 85 degree day in the middle of July. The sky looked like a canvas painted light blue with big, bulky white clouds scattered around.…

    When I was in pre k I liked going to school so much but suddenly my mind changed when I skipped grade 1 and went to grade 2. I remember when I was in 2nd grade,I didn’t wanted to go to school.

So when I walked through the brown door of the classroom I could feel the shiver in my body. I could hear the sound of children talking and laughing.…
