Personal Narrative: How I Would Change My School

Decent Essays
How I Would Change My School I have attended Community Christian School for thirteen years, virtually all of my life. I love the dynamic relationships I have with my educators and fellow students, so I really could not ask for much more. However, I had the power to change my school I would bring about more funding so our library, curriculum, and clubs could be updated. Since I go to a private school there is always times the school could use additionally funding. Because the school has a heart for Christian education they choose not to raise the price of tuition, so students who do not come from well off families won’t be terribly burdened. If I could give the school a large lump sum of money I would. Without proper funding the school is

    Public school funding has been an ongoing issue for years. No matter how wealthy the district is, there can be an issue for all when the funds are not distributed fairly. Without enough funds from the government, schools cannot provide adequate supplies for the classroom, cannot provide sufficient transportation cost and cannot pay salaries to those involved in the school district such as teachers and administration. Public school funding also helps provide reduced and free meals to students who qualify. What a lot of people don’t know is where all of this money is coming from and who is paying for it.…

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise. I went to Agnes Baptist Elementary from kindergarten to 5th grade and I had friends that I've known since I was 3. I loved it there and knew the school like the back of my hand. Everything was superior, like most good things, though there were times where they weren’t, I was harassed by a bully almost everyday, my grades were getting inadequate, and my mom didn’t want me to be a sad, disconsolate 7th grader at a new junior high. In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…

    This year has been a crazy one. I came from a public school, not knowing anyone, so I terrified and didn't know what to expect. I struggled with trusting others, time management and battling multiple tasks at once. Luckily, I had a lot of practice throughout the year. For instance when we had to record a News Show for Mr.Mora's class, I was faced with all of these problems.…

    To be honest, I hate school with a passion, yet I love learning as much as living. As a child, schooling created a feeling of loneliness and sadness that echoed throughout my life, even now. I didn’t meet the standard levels for literacy and was separated from my classmates in elementary school for special reading and writing classes. Also the lack of freedom to say and move the way I wished to, and the rebellion that stemmed out of me in middle school due to these limitations. Finally, the conforming in high school to appease my mother, friends that drove me over the edge, yet even now I feel the same bull-crap in college.…

    Middle school was a dark place for me. Life changing events caused me to slip in and out of depression. Close to the edge, I sat down in front of my TV to escape the crashing world around me.

    The financial management is one of the biggest problem in this after school program, and it affects the numbers of tutors, budget and the numbers of students being accepted. The church board should know and investigate the program 's current situation. The best method in my opinion is either raise the budget of the program or raise the tuition fees(the current tuition fees of this program is very cheap comparing to other after school program). It is impossible to keep a certain quality of service but keep cutting budgets and losing human resources, and the board members of the church doesn 't know about the current situation or consequences happening in this program. Restructure the after school program.…
