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.…
The hardest thing I’ve ever went through? Let me take you back to almost three years ago to a very cold Thursday morning in January. I was sitting in history class when suddenly something very strange happened; the announcement speakers came on. To most people it would seem like it was a very typical day to day event to listen to announcements; but at my school announcements were rarely ever said. My classroom got completely silent; to the point where you could have heard a pin drop.…
"Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence" I have had many ups and downs over the course of my life thus far. 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. This by far is one of my biggest regrets to this day. Who would ever think that not trying during my freshman year would continue to follow me throughout the course of my academic career.…
My years in high school were quite thrilling and adventurous. Starting as a freshman, I had no idea where I was going and what was going to be expected of me. Over the years I became involved with extracurricular activities which led to my primary interest I had developed in technology and the sciences. As a freshman I joined the Students with Future Interests in Technology Club, Spanish Club, and Robotics Club. These clubs stayed with me till I graduated high school and I have loved them ever since I got involved in them.…
One of my biggest challenges has been school. My freshman year I went to an all boys school called Sims Fayola. I didn’t do all that well, and so I fell behind in credits. My sophomore year I changed to a school called Vista Academy. It turned out to be a really good school for me.…
Before high school, I always thought I was an average student, but when I transitioned into high school, people started to point out that I had potential. I began to work harder than I had ever before and I began to accelerate in every course. This never took a toll on me till the tenth grade, when my mental health started degrading. Anxiety was my first foe. During the beginning of the tenth grade, I had set high expectations for myself and it began to affect my life greatly For instance, after finishing the test, I would think about just one specific question that I thought I completed wrong.…
As I looked around at my new classmates on my first day of public school, I was in complete shock. All around me I saw students who did not care in the slightest about their education and who saw school as simply a chore instead of an adventure. They slumped down in their chairs, cheated off of each other left and right, rolled their eyes at teachers, and spent each day watching the clock, waiting for the bell to ring that would released from their “prison.” That August morning, I felt like I was in a completely different world: one where I did not belong.…
It was the first day of school at Brooklyn High school and at some ungodly hour, my cold-blooded step brother,Alex,came pounding on my closet door, saying,”Gracie, wake up, it’s time for school!” My real name is Grayson Swift, but he likes to call me Gracie, especially in front of other people. As I got out of bed, I realized I had no nice clothes to wear. All I had was a couple pairs of old jeans, hand-me-down tees, an ugly sweater, and the clothes I had from my Mom and Dad. Those were a black long-sleeve T-shirt, of the Miami Heats ,of course, white nike shorts, and nike socks.…
Everyone changes at least once during their time in high school. Over the last few years, I have been through a variety of challenges. God has blessed me with an amazing four years of learning; not only just in school, but also in life. One can only make so many mistakes before he or she learns from them. I do not have many regrets in my high school career, but I am glad that I was able to learn from them.…
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.…
I have involved myself in high school in many ways that I could. As far as athletics go, I have played volleyball and I am currently Vice President of the POM squad at Putnam City North. I served as class Vice President freshman year, class treasurer sophomore year, and I continue to serve as class treasurer for the juniors. I am also a junior representative officer for the PCN National Honor Society. In my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs such as Key Club, Spanish Club, and Ping Pong Club.…
Many years ago when I was in high school there were two people. The first person was popular and respected for his humor and kindness. His laugh and smile was contagious making everyone love him even more. Little did anyone know though what was transpiring in his head. One night his parents discovered him hanging inside their garage, with a noose around his neck.…
Sitting in my room, I was a nervous wreck thinking about the first day of school. Not just any school, this was high school! My dad said. “Buckle up young man, you’re in the big leagues now!” He was right.…
“You have a booger in your nose.” those were the first words spoken to me on my first day of high school, public high school at least. Everything felt new, even though I had been in an environment just like this all of my grade school years. Actually, everything didn’t just feel new, they were new. I realized that every single friend I had in grade school, had changed, dramatically.…
It was my first day in middle school. School already started 1 weeks ago and I was a new kid. I was nervous for my first day at the new school, but I was thrilled and excited as well. I was not that social and was scared to talk to other people. I was also afraid that people won’t like me because I had a weird accent.…
