My Experience In High School

Improved Essays
As I’ve grown and changed over the years, I enjoy looking back on the events that made me, well, me. While I believe it can be for the better, some of my experiences in school has shaped me in unimaginable ways. Thus, making me a completely different person than I could have ever expected as a kid. Granted, I would 've never imagined myself as anything other than a super famous pop star struggling to balance my secret life and personal life to have… the best of both worlds.

To start from the beginning, let’s examine my name, and birth. In truth, I’m a December baby all the way, and dreadfully close to Christmas. Since it 's in close proximity to Christmas, I went home for the first time in a tiny, red stocking adorned with a miniature

Such as putting a potato with spoons for ears in a bunny cage, or just walking into the library to take a picture of this ratty couch in the corner. It’s there for students to hang out and study, or work, or read, or do whatever. It has this fairly ugly floral pattern and, if it got covered in plastic wrap, it would’ve looked like something out of a stereotypical grandmothers house. Truth told, I never actually had much interaction with the couch itself. Sometimes, I would sit with my friends, or tell a partner to meet there to work on a project, but nothing too memorable. Despite this, there’s an inexplicable connection to that couch for me. It sits by the wall, seeing the students pass by, cataloging so many emotions and memories that it’s a library of feelings in it’s own right. Imagine how many emotionally distraught teenagers have sat there, wondering how they’re going to get over that now-ex or how they 're gonna pass that test. Imagine all the technological advances it’s seen, like Nokia phones evolving into smartphones. Every time I sit on this couch I feel a sense of belonging, and that’s something I didn’t know throughout elementary or even in junior high. I tend to think that couch was my first true welcome to

    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.…

    Even when the couched was moved to the other side of the room, one couple sat in the same place where the couch had been, but within a day the couch had been moved back to its original position and a couple was sitting on it again! This suggests that there is an attraction not just to the couch, but also to the placement of the couch, with a wall at the couple’s back and a clear view of their surroundings in front of them. It would seem that the combination of the social security of the wall and the ability to sit next to each other on the couch makes for an irresistible combination. No matter the circumstance, I have observed that couples will sit in a particular area of the fireside room, especially if they can be next to each other on the…

Compared to my room back home, there is definitely not as many representative items here, many of the furniture pieces in my room are here out of pure necessity, however what I was able to control I made certain to carefully plan out as well as I could.
