Personal Narrative: Myself In High School

Decent Essays
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. Whether it's being a member or an officer of an extra curricular activity, I have learned what it means to be a leader through volunteer work, planning school activities, and participating in multiple community activities.

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 overcame an obstacle of mine that was really large, and I am proud of myself for doing so. I finally got to see what it looks like when the clouds part. I went from being a stress mess to a straight success (maybe not success yet, but soon).…

    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.…

    There was an aura about the dirty park gazebo that felt like home for an angry fourteen year old. In a circle, backs pressed against cement walls, sweaty arms stuck together, was a group of kids that I found would be my family. The ground below us was covered with shards of glass and miscellaneous remnants from the night before as if to mark our territory with trash. It was a shabby old building, covered in graffiti, and it was dark after nine. But to a crowd of brooding teenagers, it was a bunker inside of a warzone: high school.…
