Personal Narrative: My Trip To Gateway Middle School

Improved Essays
When I started middle school I was upset I had to go to Gateway Middle. I wanted to go to AAA Busch for middle school because it is a sports school and sports was my thing. They were equal parts of academics and sports. I completed my sixth grade at the boring technology school I did good but wasn't happy there. Thanks to my mom she kept trying to get me in my first choice. She did it I got into AAA Busch. I started seventh grade there and was so happy. I got to play on all the teams I wanted to. I excelled in my academics being on the A & B honor roll. I was in the popular crowd. Boys loved me because I could play ball and school them in it too. Some girls were jealous of me because the attention I got from the boys. Really none …show more content…
Back to the school grind sophomore year was cool. I didn't make the basketball team because I couldn't get along with the coach. He was a dick and I wouldn't deal with it. I could take constructive criticism but he was just ignorant. Since not playing basketball I just couldn't care less. Having fun and hanging out with friends is what I did. Smoking in the bathrooms, being interruptive or sleeping in class, and skipping when ever I could get away with it. Nikki never cared for school and Krystal wasn't challenged enough. Within a few weeks of each other we all ended up dropping out. When I told my parents they were upset but they couldn't do anything about it so the rule I had was if I'm not in school I have to get a job and pay …show more content…
I would pass her notes as our work days went on. Sometime just a silly pictures, random thoughts, or to see what she was going to during her off days. Eventually after work we would call each other stay up late and talk for hours. I started to realize I had feelings for her. I missed her when I didn't see her. She was the first thing I thought about when I woke up and the last thing I thought of when I went to bed. When something good or bad happened in my life I always wanted to share it with her. Here I was a seventeen year old kid who was confused about what was going on with me. I always had boyfriends but when I started this job and spent so much time with her I gave up on everything else. I never felt this way about someone before like I felt for her. I tried to process it all but it was no use I was a goner so I got brave one day at work one day and my note to her this time said will you be my girlfriend with two boxes one said yes and the other said no. She did what I hoped she would and checked yes. We went on our first date to the movies that following weekend April 9, 2004. I was nervous as hell but in all reality all our lunches were mini

    “You’re just a white girl trapped inside a black body,” were words I heard repeatedly as a child. For the longest time I considered those words a compliment. As an African American girl native to the Congo, I was naïve enough to think this statement meant how fully immersed with American culture my appearance, language, and every aspect of my personality was becoming. To me, those words held acceptance from my American friends and families—the only imaginable thing any foreign child yearns for. It hadn’t occurred to me that underneath that statement hid a message very twisted that would follow me for the next 12 years of my life.…

    Additionally, this year was made special since I finally choose to stay after school and join a program that has changed my life forever and given me various opportunities. Indeed, I decided to join the chess club, also known as the only club that was big in that school year. Anyhow, to begin to understand just how enormous the change the chess club provided it is important to understand that prior to the club Esperanza Middle School had earned no trophies. Even more, the chess club was the first club that participated in tournaments that were run by the city, not to mention the fact that I was the first one to earn a trophy in one of those tournaments. Even though the chess team provided a space for me and my friends to engage it was also…

    I was afraid to sharpen a pencil in second grade. My most vivid elementary school memories spring from instances when I was being reprimanded by an adult for doing something wrong. 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.…
