My First Day at School Essay Secondary School

I had just woken up to head to my first class of the day. I had the first good night’s rest since I had been in California. Then my phone began to ring. My mother’s name showed up on the screen, so I thought she was calling to check in on me. Little did I know that on this October morning my life would change. My mother was not calling to check in, but instead to tell me that my great grandmother had passed away. There has only been one person who has influenced my life when I was growing up.…

“Today is my first day at this school,” I said, as I co-taught with another teacher. She stood next to me, and she hit me with BREAKING NEWS: “Look at the number of teachers who are on Leave at this school.” Then she proclaimed that I was in The Worst School in the County. The bomb-shell explosion of her troubling report began when I signed on to a new school’s district. On Day 1, I had been instructed to take the place of Ms. Lindell, a math teacher. She also had a teacher who co-taught…

TS: Graduating high school is my fondest memory up until today because it was such a long-awaited, unstipulated moment due to my mental health struggles, loss of identity, and loss of faith. All of my roadblocks have shaped me into the person I am today. If it wasn’t for the people and most importantly, God, around me that helped me every step of the way, I wouldn’t be as strong as I am right now. My whole experience with my mental health and loss of identity struggles made graduation ever more…

On the 22nd of May, I graduated from Twinsburg High School; class of 2017 at E.J Thomas Hall of Performing Arts in Akron. Graduating from school has been a very big turning point for me personally. I’ve been through a lot as being a student in school as a victim of being bullied. I was a misfit as a child growing up, being a fatherless son and not like the other boys, I found myself unattractive. In school, I would do my work when supposed to, but I was always harassed by the other students.…

the entirety of South High School. A simple scene; many people. Seemingly, I see a new face in the halls every day. I don’t notice how important each person is, and the impact they have on my life. Their presence is taken for granted until there comes a day that one of them is lost. This year on March seventh, although being on a weekday, I was fortunate enough to celebrate my birthday on a late start Tuesday which also happened to be National Pancake Day. Naturally, my friends and I planned…

(Shakespeare 207). When I was in elementary school back in 2003, I did not know that there was an unspoken rule of not involving ourselves with people who were deemed as “inferior” in the school at the time. I also did not make the connection that I was considered as an “inferior” to the eyes of my peers at the time. At the tender age of six, I liked to wear hair bows with bright colored dresses with two pigtails, a usual young girly girl style. Despite of my feminine appearance, I liked to…

“Do you want to go to summer school?” My dad asked me during our conversation about getting ahead in high school. When he first asked this, I thought he was joking. I thought to myself, “who in their right mind would go to school in the summer? And I’m doing well in school so why should I go?” Later he explained that the negative connotation attached to summer school is false, and that many students utilize summer school to get ahead of the game. Considering that I was in eighth grade and had…

What I have done to make my school an unrivaled place would be joining a club called Link Crew. Link Crew is a club that enables freshmen to out with their first high school year. Without Link Crew, first year freshmen would be considerably more lost and be flopping a great deal of their classes. Most freshmen would need to help and guidance from someone who has been at this school. Then, they would think that they shouldn't be at school and not go to their classes. When they are Freshmen is the…

that when you’re not, you should go back to your country and stay there” words that made my heart sank. Going to school in Guyana is different from going to school in America. Many students are being bullied each year. Unlike Guyana, you would be friends with everyone and they make you feel good about yourself. Attending school in America for the first few years was difficult for me, because I struggled a lot in my education. Life has many challenges, and you have to go through them in order to…
