Personal Narrative: The Four Years Of Concord High School

Decent Essays
I believe that teenagers learn a lot of lessons throughout their four years of high school. There are times when high school is very challenging, but looking back now it’s crazy how time flies. I am extremely thankful for the experience of Concord High School, but I feel like I can about sum up all that high school has taught me, and is still teaching me, by giving some advice.
Number one, do NOT procrastinate. Yup I am most definitely still learning this one. There is no gain in procrastinating with assignments, you should put some time and effort in it. I do not procrastinate as bad as other people do. I cannot stay up till three o’clock in the morning doing homework, like other people do. I have learned from my friends stories that staying up late will make

This doesn't just apply to sports, but to everything you love to do. When you play every game like it’s your last or do everything to the best of your ability, you walk away satisfied, knowing you gave it your very best and you have no regrets. When you don’t do this, you take the risk of wishing you could go back and do it again, but the thing is you can’t. This year has and will bring a lot of lasts, but I’m ready to make the most of it.
Number four and lastly be yourself. Life is too short and no fun when you pretend to be someone you’re not. When you truly know who you are, people will truly love you for that. Don’t be afraid to admit you snort when you laugh too hard, watch Spongebob Squarepants for fun, only know quotes from Disney movies, sing the loudest you can if you want to and dance like nobody's watching when you’re alone.
There are so many things I have learned in the past four years in high school. While I’ve learned a lot in high school, I still have a lot to learn in the upcoming years wherever I go. I am excited to take my current knowledge out into the world and see what I can do with it, although it will be a little bit

    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.…

    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.…

    Growing up I was always the tallest kid in the class. Whenever class picture day rolled around, I knew that I was in the front of the line because of my height. It was somewhat embarrassing when all the boys were shorter than I, and the girls made me feel bad for how out of place I was. Not only did my height provide social awkwardness, it also administered the constant, never ending struggle of finding garments long enough. Whenever my mom or grandmothers wanted to take me back to school shopping, I made excuses of “I don’t need any more habiliments” or “I do not feel good, all of the sudden…”…

    Track and field has been the highlight of my high school life. The social aspect, the large assortment of events from which to choose, and the people I met are things I will always treasure.

If you could build up quick bursts of speed, long and triple jumps suited you.…

    When I was younger, I could not wait to start school. I remember getting ready for my first picture day and making sure I picked out the perfect outfit and ensuring that my pigtails were just right for my kindergarten picture.

Even when there is a challenging school day ahead of me, like a big test or a dreaded presentation, I still look forward to going to school. I have immensely enjoyed my time as a Little Falls Community High School student, but now there is a new chapter in my learning experience that is about to begin, and that is college.…

    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.…

    The end of the day comes whether you have gotten up to do something productive or if you have simply remained inanimate while time moves around you. I have found that the present slips away while you are worrying about the future. We are constantly telling ourselves that if we just get through this, then everything after will be better. We forget to appreciate the moment while constantly reaching for a hypothetically more fulfilling life. Once we graduate high school, or get through a challenging class, or finish a workout, everything after will get easier.…
