Personal Narrative: Rancho Buena Vista High School

Improved Essays
I arrived at Rancho Buena Vista High School at 12:00 pm. I waited in a line for about 20 minutes until I reached to the security section. Before we could enter Rancho Buena Vista’s Stadium, we had to be checked for weapons or anything dangerous. I took everything from my pockets and placed them on the table where the securities took a look. Then I was patted down and walked through a metal detector. After the safety process, I walked through the stadium and went on the football field. On the football field, there was a podium guarded by agents.

    One of the most meaningful communities I’m a part of is my Castro Elementary school community, where I volunteer as a math tutor for at-risk elementary school students as part of the Buddies4Math program. Every Friday after school, I bike over from my high school to Castro, mentally bracing myself for the rowdy grade-schoolers that eagerly await me. As a math tutor, I help teach and explain concepts to my students through various math games and activities. Initially, I had wanted to teach younger students since I felt obligated to do so. My teachers have passed down so much enlightening knowledge to me, and I felt that I had a similar responsibility to disseminate knowledge, particularly to these at-risk elementary school students who haven’t…

    My favorite part of the day at Sinking Springs was when the walls between the classrooms opened. When the walls were open, two classes became one class.

After I registered, a lady with an amiable smile, who I know laterly as Mrs. White, greeted me with a zealous voice “ Welcome to Hillside Middle School, Yiwen.” My first school day in United State was begin.…

    I was an 8th grader at St. Martin's Episcopal school and had thoroughly enjoyed the last four years of my life. The teachers were wonderful, the academics were strenuous but rewarding, and most of all my group of friends were almost unbeatable. Although we spent most of our time in the Dean's office sitting on the brown leather couch decorated with a variety of candy pillows, we truly were a good group of guys and were not looking to our final years together. Sure, we kept telling ourselves we would all get into the same private high school but deep down we knew our days left together were limited. I had done well in school over the past couple years and was not too worried about getting into a good High school.…
