I know is not your fault. I’m really worried about my grade. I’m not the type of student that waits until the last week of the semester to talk with the professor about my grade or how can I improve grades. I did all the extra credit in SONA and going to the discussion on Wednesdays. I also did the survey online.…
Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had to climb on your counter-top to reach a cabinet? I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it really was. All my life I have been dramatically smaller than all my peers. I have always been ostracized for the fact of my height which, in fact I have no jurisdiction over . I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter.…
There was a boy named Liam Wilson. He lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He is as normal as normal gets. He wakes up, goes to school, comes back home, and goes to bed. There is nothing “supernatural” about that, right?…
It was Friday in fall of 2017. I was with my friends and classmates in school. The friends that were in a group were, Lucas, Max, me (Gurkrish), and Joshua. I was playing on my phone at the end of the day before lunch. I went to go put my phone away, and I did.…
A few years ago I remember walking home from school. Mind you I thought I was very handsome back in those days, I had soft, dark brown hair, I went to the gym every day, I was fit and healthy, personally I thought I was a ladies man and I still am (I think). Anyways, I was almost home…
When that happened i hoped that the grades wouldnt come or they wouldnt care because it was only a quarter grade not a semester grade but they did in fact they ended up grounding me and taking all my electronics and told youll get these back when you bring up those grades. All because of that one decision to not do my work it ended up putting me in this mess and it wasnt even that i was mad that my electronics got taken away it was that i felt ashamed of myself and i felt bad for letting my parents down. Ever sense then ive been doing most of my work in all my classes trying to keep my grades up so that i dont have to be ashamed…
Did that really just happen? “Come join us at soccer tryouts next Friday at the main field after school!” read the big, white flyer which I had picked up previously in the week after hearing about this eye-opening news during morning announcements. I was sitting on the bench outside reading the details as I waited in line for the person whose reaction I was most anxiously waiting to see. As a 5th grader, my first instinct was to alert my mom right away, which is exactly what I did as soon as I got in the passenger seat of the all black sedan.…
Hey, I'm Kyle and I would like to tell you a few things about my life. I have one brother and two sisters that I love. I was born in California and was very happy, but a few months later I moved out to Colorado for help with my family. This time was hard for me because I was very young and didn't know much.…
Finally I awoke. My head was killing me and I felt dizzy. I could hear some clanking in the distance, but I saw nothing. It was too dark to see anything, but there was a small light about twenty feet from me. I slowly pulled myself off the ground and leaned against the bars.…
I was in my room it was June 19. I went to go to the restroom and then I ate. I went to go change. I went outside to go to my friends house.…
Weeks flew by seeming to go too soon. In those weeks I practiced hard, very hard. I was sure Erin was too, but I’ve been very self absorbed with my own work ethic sometimes I forget Erin was even there. It sounds impossible she’s loud and crazy and funny but she’s been less lively the past few weeks for the same reason I was.…
“Alright… is there anything else that I need to know?” I ask, a nervous smile on my face. Deep down I know it will be okay, but in the moment it is a lot of responsibility being set upon my small shoulders. There will be no adults. I am the adult.…
It was simply a ordinary, sunny, 80° day in San Francisco, California. I was doing my daily routine of grabbing myself some coffee as I walked to school. The streets were overloaded with cars, buses, and people since it was rush hour. While I sipped my coffee, I waited for the crosswalk light to switch to green. “Hi!”…
When me and the police man were driving out I felt a mix of emotions like sadness, anger, scared but worried. I had no idea what is going to happen to me. Suddenly the car stopped and the police officer walked out of the car and locked the doors to the car. As I looked out I saw Roberto and the police officer went out of the school and walked over to the car I was in. Roberto and I hugged each other and sat in the back of the police car as we drove off to somewhere.…
My friends were 1.3 meters tall, with dark-green skin color, and wore antiqued “watches”. They were called lockers; my best friends in middle school. I was once submissive. Feared, I would protect myself by speaking “Yes”, “No”, or “I don’t know” to camouflage from others. Every day I would sit in the Special Education hallway with my friends numbered “1023-1031”, plug in my headphones, and separate myself from the rest of the world.…
