to forcibly miss school for two weeks? Would you ever have expected this to relate to your years of hard work? I never realized how true, “hard work pays off,” until discovering that from the past, it would determine part of my future (Ray Bradbury). It was the third week of September 2014, the week when I was mentally incapacitated and stressed, and it wasn’t because I was autistic or broke serious school laws. In fact, I was worried because I wanted stay a good student. About a month ago,…

was fifteen years old or cringe at my life now. Fifteen-year-old me had dreams of becoming a professional photographer, living in New York City with a boyfriend and at least one cat. I had those dreams because life was not easy for me at that age. It had been two years since I first began to suffer from depression. Transitioning from elementary school to junior high school was a challenge for me. I had never been to a new school, and I was going to a new territory without my best friend,…

College of Health and Sciences. I learned about the school from my former middle school, West Cary, and I started learning more and more about it before I applied. Wake Early College and STEM Early College came to my middle school to give a presentation on the schools, and my dad was taken away with how great Wake Early College was. I, however, liked STEM more because it was at North Carolina State University, and I knew that if I could do well in the high school classes and college classes…

past; back to elementary school. By "we" I mean my closest friend and I. We were talking for hours that simply about anything and everything, there were no limits to what we could say. The topic of elementary school came up and while hers was filled with happiness and with exiting memories mine was filled with hurt and resentment. I was telling her how for years, especially during the third grade I was bullied. My bullies picked on me. It didn't matter what it was about me, they had deemed…

it’s not graduating high school, getting good test scores, or being in the top of my class. I think it’s much more important than that. I’m not talking about learning amazing choreography, tricks, or moves – I just mean that I have learned to dance - shamelessly, without fear of judgment, and without a care in the world. In elementary school, I was bullied. I was made fun of by my classmates for my appearance, my interests, and being a nerd, quite frankly. In middle school, it didn’t get a whole…

picture was taken. It had been a bad year for me, a difficult one. Up until the point I got into sixth grade, I had always gotten along with my teacher. I didn 't get along with the other students in my class, but I had learned to accept that things had always come easier to me and that they wouldn 't accept me. But I had always gotten along with my teachers and felt like I could trust them. You see, my school district doesn 't have a middle school, you go kindergarten to sixth grade in the…

Entering high school was a big stepping stone from my middle school years. Facing hard obstacles and trying to strive for the best, I am lucky and very grateful to be here today knowing the background that I came from. As a young girl I use to move from school to school after Katrina because we moved around a lot. I was homeless for almost a year so I didn’t really have much of a stable child hood. Years later my family and I found a stable place live. In 2007 we moved to San Antonio, TX. Here…

stressful. No one gave me advice on how to get through it, I had to learn on my own. But nothing has or ever will stop me from achieving my goals. Most of my family didn't finish school, or got the chance to start college. If I Lizette Mendoza finish high school and college, I would be the third person in the family to do so. I want to be that third person to make my parents proud. I'm the type of person who will give up when it gets tough. I don't want my family to see me as that failure who…

course with boring prompts and no challenge similar to high school, but I was wrong. In this semester alone I learned more about writing mechanics, structure, heading, organizing and sourcing than I had previously in my high school career. This being said I was not prepared for this course and did not earn the grades I wanted, but I learned from all my mistakes as I wrote each paper it became slightly better. I feel that high school does not do an adequate job at preparing you for the…
