Narrative Essay About Highschool Life

Improved Essays
Life is an adventure. Like any adventure, life is full of obstacles, challenges, and setbacks. These challenges include things like getting your first job, going through your first break-up, or to put each of these things in their own category...high school. High school is a very small, beginning chapter of life. To me, highschool alone was a very big challenge in life.
My freshman year, I had started dating a boy who was a senior. Everything was fine until his classmates began to pick on me for being involved with an older boy. The girls in class did things from giving me tickets to kid carnivals to picking on me when I participated in athletics. For instance in volleyball, they continuously pointed out that my usual spot was on the bench

For juniors, it’s a chance to go on a date, dress formal, and enjoy time with their friends. For seniors, it is the last big event with their underclassmen, the last high-school “hoorah”. As juniors, my class was in charge of decorating, preparing a meal, entertainment, writing prophecies for the upperclassmen, and still have enough time for each student to plan their own agenda for the day of the event. Also around this time of year there is softball, track, and tennis. This time of year was especially stressful for me due to my being a participant in track and softball, as well as being in charge of setting up prom. Another challenge that took place during this time was an illness that my father has recently discovered. My father went to the emergency room one morning due to his heart having severe complications, and remained in the hospital for a series of days. This period of time was difficult for me. Thankfully, I found ways around the complications and had plenty of support from my friends, as well as family.
Now I have reached a large milestone in my life, senior year. This year has gone pretty smoothly so far. I am thankful for my past for the simple reason that if it had not of been for all the obstacles, challenges, setbacks, and hard times I would not be in the same position I am today. I believe that the most tough person, the hardest working player, and the bravest warrior are given the most difficult challenges.

    Looking back on it, on how I got to where I am. I don't know how i did it, when you run into something ,with the power to knock you down- you get back up! I've considered myself a sort of mellow guy, but I can be very intense. It's funny because you can't tell by looking at me. Most people say they can't read me, but I think i am a fairly simple guy.…

    Growing up I was always the tallest kid in the class. Whenever class picture day rolled around, I knew that I was in the front of the line because of my height. It was somewhat embarrassing when all the boys were shorter than I, and the girls made me feel bad for how out of place I was. Not only did my height provide social awkwardness, it also administered the constant, never ending struggle of finding garments long enough. Whenever my mom or grandmothers wanted to take me back to school shopping, I made excuses of “I don’t need any more habiliments” or “I do not feel good, all of the sudden…”…

    In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…

    Track and field has been the highlight of my high school life. The social aspect, the large assortment of events from which to choose, and the people I met are things I will always treasure. I especially loved the fact that there was always a place for everyone. If you weren’t too quick, then discus was your event. If you could build up quick bursts of speed, long and triple jumps suited you.…

    My freshman year was one of my craziest school year. It came from fake hall passes, to skipping in the restroom, and acting all bad by getting referrals. I remember my ap secretary always used to call me “Diablo” just because i always got in trouble and she said i used to drive her crazy. I just never cared about the consequence of skipping so much, good thing I never got caught. Meeting new friends and new attitudes and a little more of responsibility and to be honest waking up so early every single morning was not that fun.…

    A few years ago like when I was 11 or 12 a lot of things were going through my mind of growing up and being a teenager. I knew this was going to be a big step for me and my surroundings, but I was ready for it. A thing that I always kept in my mind was turning 15 fast because my parents were always really strict with us. One of the things that they didn't let us do is put on makeup or paint our nails. I hated that because all my friends would do it and I was the only one that wasn't allowed to.…

    Have you ever achieved a goal of yours that has made you feel overwhelmingly proud of yourself? I have accomplished that in my life by graduating high school and receiving my Diploma. I feel this has been my greatest accomplishment in life by far due to the fact that it made my mother proud, I accomplished my benchmarks, and it even gave me a great amount of opportunities after high school. To begin, I believe that graduating high school is almost unattainable without the support of your loved ones who only want you to prosper and my mother did just that for 4 challenging years.…
