Personal Narrative: Everyone's High School Experience

Improved Essays
In a way, everyone's high school experience is somewhat of a story. Everyone has a different point of view and nobody really knows everything about any of the other people they choose to surround themselves with. High school isn't all just about getting good grades and learning how to make friends. It's about learning how to survive life in the outside world. High school is a four year long story, so here's mine.

Freshman year, I was a pretty outgoing girl. I had a lot of friends, but only few were close to her. Even the ones that knew her best, really didn't know everything. I was kind of an accident-prone person. Scrapes, bruises and scars all over but for all the right reasons. Not a mean one in her body though I wasn't

Probably the easiest of all her senior career. I had mastered the basics of being a strong, independent person but knew who to go to for help and never forgot about my real friends. To this day, we always hang out every chance we get, we still have each other's backs and never forget to celebrate eachother when the time comes. Being the close, tight group of friends they are, none of them are ever truly alone. The world will not always be so kind. I knew it was good to have friends like these as it will be necessary for me to go to them when the time comes. Senior year is full of its own issues and stress filled situations just like any other year, except this year...is my last. My last chance to show my school what I was made of and show everyone just how wrong they were to talk behind her back or any of my friends' backs. High school is not just a journey of the mind but of the heart. A spiritual journey guiding you to success. I had my ups and downs but learned how to avoid them when necessary. I made friends that would last a life time and learned that not everyone you meet will have the same intentions as you. Not everyone has the same heart to do what is right. Sometimes it's ok to reject people, especially when they're nothing but a pain in your life. Sometimes, there's people who do nothing but burden you. When it comes to putting friends on your back, know who to carry and who to

    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.…

    Although I only had very few friends in the beginning, I made a lot of friends very quickly. Since the middle school I attended was a public school, I was exposed to more people from all different walks of life. It was also during this time period that I started to look at the world in a more critical point of view and notice class discrimination. One of my friends in middle school, named Alexis, really opened my eyes and made me see the world in a different light.…

    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…”…

    High school changes people. They express themselves, become opinionated, and they start to look at the world differently as they experience things they have never encountered before. A wise Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” This quote is an excellent way to describe my experience in high school.…

There was some crazy looking people there but I am not the type to judge but they were some weird people. After a few days people started letting me sit with them because I would sit at lunch by myself.…

    High school was anything but easy, or at least that’s my outlook on the whole subject. Although I struggled with many things I was able to push through and make the best of a bad situation, but then again that kind of seems like a kind of motto that one could use to describe my last four years of high school. And even though I switched schools half way through high school with the help of some friends and a big help from art I was able to make it to school and complete my goal of graduating. I Switched schools half way through my second year because I was having a problem with turning in work. Once I was moved to this school I started to fail one class per semester, except for the last semester of my third year.…
