The first day of school reveled numerous characteristic about the school to me.…

High school WAS a lot different from homeschool, just like C.J. had said. We both had been homeschooled our whole lives, up until now. I didn’t know whether to be excited for the change, or nervous for the judgement I may receive. All I knew was that Woodland High could either be the best…
Have you ever wished you could go back in time? If I was able to go back, I would relive my high school graduation. I never thought this day would come and when it finally did, I was more terrified of what life after high school would be like. However, that day I could not wait to finally throw my cap in the air and say “I did it”. This day was full of happiness, excitement, and even fear. The happiness I felt the day of my graduation was probably the same as when a mother sees their child for…
Luna McKee 1201-34 Richel Burkley-Harris Narrative Essay Sydney and I haven’t always been the closest of sisters. While there were moments of solidarity between us, they were few and far between, and we spent the majority of our childhoods scorning each other. I was born six years after her in 1995, to a different father (one who wasn’t kind to either of us, but especially not to her); and that fact alone caused our complaints of “she’s not my real sister” to bellow through the house. Now, I’ve…

is the final days in the senior week. The school has set up a stage on Foss Hill and invited four alumni bands to come and perform. It is almost like a small-scale version of Spring Fling, and therefore, many Wesleyan students decide to savor this event as it can be their last chance to do drugs with their college buddies. Jin and Xavier, of course, are ones of these students. Xavier manages to get themselves two doses of magic mushrooms, which are in high demand at the time, so he can't…
In the late nineties, I expelled from Mackenzie High School in my senior year. I was a lost soul walking through the streets of Detroit acting giddy, and very ignorant. I went astray to all my goals as the streets had my attention, therefore I was prepared to do any and everything I recognized was wrong. I was discontented and being around an irksome cluster of friends that was nothing but trouble. I would soon find discernment and maturity within myself and create a better way. I currently…
huge step, public high school. I was homeschooled from 3rd to 10th grade because medically, it was my only option. Taking that step was the best choice I 've ever made. The one school that stood out to me was Minarets High School, this innovative school that prepares you for the real world, and works with you, for you.

Still Learning Going into high school was one of the toughest things to get excited for due to my middle school experience. The bullying was what scared me the most, I thought that everyone would make fun of me because of my past.

She always denied the idea. Everyone made freshman year seem like a dreadful year, but…
