It had been raining all morning and I was running around to get ready for school and my dad was in the other room, packing his bags for Goa. My mother was going to drop him off at the airport on her way to work. Protected by my raincoat and armed with my umbrella, I set off for school. There weren't a lot of people at school, so we didn't do too much work. A few periods into the school day and there was an announcement on the intercom, declaring it a half day. We were too excited to listen to the reason behind the half day. We quickly gathered together our pencils, erasers, notebooks and our snack boxes and shoved them haphazardly into our bags. we were handed over by our class teacher to our respective guardians. My maid was waiting outside…

Months before my dad had taken us from Mexico to Paramount a small city in Los Angeles County “I don’t want to go” I said to my mom,” you have to go that’s why we came here for.” That morning I was scare of staring school in a new country, with people speaking a different language that I did not even know a word of.

the old, nostalgic building that I had called my school for most of my life; each step took me farther from the familiar, constant life I once had. I clearly recall that emotional day that caused several of my classmates along with myself great trouble; it was likely one the most momentous moments of my life.

I just had to be one of the few people in my class that always spoke back to the teachers, always tried to stir a little bit of trouble without causing harm to any person, and was always just a tad bit too comical at all the wrong times. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, it is how I had to attend the…
When I began sixth grade it was a much different year than I thought it would be. My mind changed because of my first day of school, all of the great classes, and all the fun events. Martha Brown can still be a bad school sometimes with important objects breaking and storms delaying fun trips. Now I still think Martha Brown is a great school with amazing teachers, classes ,and other facilities. My first day of school was kind of scary there were tons of myths of mean bullies,bad lunches and…
“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…
