Personal Narrative: My 7th Grade In High School

Improved Essays
An important decision I've made was staying at saint Joachim for the end of 7th grade and all of 8th grade. I decided to stay after thinking about it a lot, it wasn't easy though.

I was on student council for my 7th grade year and it was so much fun, and i learned a lot. When time came to run for next years student council I wanted to be on it again so I ran. I had a good speech and I campaigned really well. The day we would get the results I was confident I would get in again because it's very rare for you to be on student council as a 7th grader and not as an 8th grader. My principal started to call the names and when they finished my name wasn't called.

One specific example of this took place during my freshman year of high school. When I started high school it was very challenging for me, partially due to the fact that; during this time, I was lazy, unmotivated and did not really take school seriously.

I tried a lot of new things that year, mainly wrestling.…

It would be tough, it would be painful, but I would get through it and I would come out on the other side looking great, and luckily I had years to prepare myself mentally.…
