I could tell my parents were scared, and they are never scared. I 'm really hoping that the person the followed my parents and followed us here isn 't hiding in the rows of corn because then we 're doomed. My parents and I couldn 't find our way out, so we decided to split up. I told them that it probably wasn 't the smartest idea to split up in a corn maze but all the wanted to do was get out of there. So my mom was going to go left, my dad was going to go forward, and I was going to go left.
As I was walking to the left I kept feeling like someone was following me, I knew that it was probably just my imagination but I couldn 't stop thinking about it. After walking for about 5 minutes I came to a dead end. As I was turning around I saw a shadow that looked exactly like a person. I was walking back towards the way that I came and turned right.

    The semester before my freshman year I applied to an early college high school; I knew that I was going to have more work than if I had went to the traditional high school, but I knew I could do it. At first I was doing well, but as time went on the work became more challenging and frequent eventually my grades fell and took my pride with it.

    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. Now this has to be my least favorite part of the day.…
