Personal Narrative: My Experience At St. Michael Catholic School

Improved Essays
Leaving something you’ve taken for granted for so long and become accustomed to is an extremely difficult task. St. Michael Catholic School has always been a norm in my life. From preschool at Little Angels playing house and learning the shapes, to learning how to balance chemical equations in 8th grade science, I’ve realized how much I will truly miss this school. The little things, such as taking care of butterflies, will be some of my most cherished memories at St. Michael’s. They seemed like miniscule, unimportant moments at the time, but now they really mean a lot to me. This school hasn’t only given me a strong education. Although I have learned quite a bit at my time here, I’ve really learned so much more. Confidence in my relationship

There have been two occasions in which Our Lady of Fatima School was prepared to announce a location, only to have circumstances beyond our control nix the deals at the last moment. It was important to be measured in our approach, and obtaining a location before fundraising was always our plan. We wanted people to know that their money was going towards a school rather than an idea of a school. The same is true for enrollment.…

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active.

    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. I wanted to transfer to the traditional high school in my neighborhood, but changed my mind after a talk with one of my professors. She helped me to recognize that if I quit not only would I be throwing away the work that I did do, but I’d also be preventing myself from seeing what work I could do. I took that seed of information and turned it into a tree of motivation.…

I did everything in my power to avoid those dreadful moments, but they still presented themselves on occasion. Even now I feel a pit in my stomach when I recall the way I felt during those times, regardless of the fact that almost all of them would easily roll off my back if they occurred today.…
