You get to talk to your teacher and not feel like race will impact his/her answer. In Little Rock, Arkansas in the year 1957, sadly things were like this, African American kids could not enjoy school with other children of different races.

A dilemma that I faced, and still am facing is simply the decision about what I want to do with my life after my high school career. In my freshman year of high school my goal was simply to get through the year in one piece. I was forced to conform to my new environment and all the strict rules that came along with it. Along with that it was the sudden transition from being the "big dogs" as eighth graders at my middle school to being "fresh-meat" in my first year high school. With so much attention placed on me as a freshman like on the varsity basketball team, where I was constantly forced to prove my worth to the coach and the players, to stepping out of my comfort zone and performing in a mandatory play for the rest of the the school as…

I wanted to get a break before I went back to school.…
In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…
In the “im just bill” song by School house rock, it only goes over the brief aspects of the complicated long process on how a bill becomes a law. In the song, it states like most things, the bill starts off as an idea. Mostly these ideas come from problems that arise in the American society. The problems then go forth as ideas to a congress man in which that he has to agree with. If the congress man agrees then he we will write the bill which will later be presented to the committee and will stay in the committee for a long time.…
I didn’t not know what I was expecting. On the first day of high school, I stepped into a crowd of students, waiting to enter the building that would become my second home for the next four years. I didn’ not know where I would stand among these highly accomplished individuals, or if I would even amount to the standards set before me. Self-doubt began to fester inside of me as soon as I stepped through the front doors. I expected less and less of myself as time went on.…
Imagine a young, innocent, 11 year old boy. Now imagine a young, innocent, 11 year old boy with a military personnel helmet on twice the size of his head, holding an automatic rifle that is almost the same size as his frail little body. Imagine this boy looking left, right, up, down, and all he sees is blood, bullets flying, and dead bodies all around. All he hears is the sound of gunfire and screaming voices, trembling as he runs and hides in fear of his life. What is going through this child’s young mind?…
In my mind at the time, finishing high school and obtain a diploma were a priority. I felt unmotivated coming into my senior year in high school and I was becoming more and more careless about my education. As long as I pass my remaining credits, which were not a lot, I will Than 2 graduate. I started to skip classes on a daily basis to hang out with friends.…
This last summer I was challenged with the reality of friendship. Friends are relatable, trustworthy, reliable people who are close to you. I learned the hard way that who I thought were my friends were really my worst enemies. I’d made new friends in the eighth grade.…
I felt like I had everything under control. My life took a major turn when I became in depth with a credit card for ten thousand dollars. All I did was work and work to pay it off. My mother being my motivation talked me into going back to school and get a career for a better future. I listened to my mother's words and decided to apply for college.…
Third grade soccer is my earliest memory of embarrassment. My remembrance coming from the conversation with one of my teammates asking which grade I was in. The simple response of “third grade” had resulted in a patter of laughter. My mispronunciation of the word “third” turned the grade into a matter of feces. That is when I began to be self-conscious of my speech.…
I couldn’t focus, and I didn’t have much motivation to go to school. My grades started to slip, and it was only a matter of time before I became ineligible for…

In high school, my grades weren’t as the best than other individuals. Throughout my high school years, I had progressed.…
