"Tuck in your shirt!" A booming voice sounded off in my ear, and my hands moved frantically to tuck the ends of my shirt into my khaki shorts. Keep your eyes straight and whatever you do, do not drop it, I thought. My arms were sore and heavy: they were full of the fifty pound footlocker I had to carry without setting down. I could feel the lactic acid building up as I struggled to keep my arms flexed, to prevent the locker from dropping. I was marching in one of four rows with other kids…
It all began in middle school, a place for evolving, happy-go-lucky students like me. Inside of my particular school district, there was a peculiar love for high-end sports footwear. Having the best looking sneakers was every kid’s ambition, and it even sparked the yearning inside of me as well. I bought my first sneakers, the Air Jordan Five, with the cash I earned from chores and all those strenuous cuts from my daily lunch money. As I wore my shoes, people began to notice that I too owned…
in learning the different ways to effectively deliver messages to the audience. Another style of writing I would likely use is team collaboration. I personally expect a lot of fun with team assignments because there were not much of them during my high school years. I would enjoy sharing ideas and arguing opinions with my classmates. Lastly, the style of writing that I will likely use and would like to learn the most is reports. Report is the most unfamiliar style of writing for me because I…
successful will they be when taking those two extremely important tests. Luckily, I choose a school that didn 't stress me out about those test scores. I choose Lakeland Community College. It was the fall of two-thousand and fifth-teen my senior year in high school! With so many other events on my mind such as my last homecoming, prom and commencement I really didn 't want to think about college, but it was something I had to do. My friends were all talking about college,their dream schools…
uncontrollable. When I was seven I had the privilege to take piano lessons. I was not enthusiastic about practicing, but I stuck with it for nine years. After my lessons stopped I continued to pursue piano as a serious hobby. I have accompanied my high school choirs, orchestras, and bands numerous times in concerts and competitions. Shortly after I started piano lessons I joined my school 's orchestra and choir class. I chose to play viola and sang soprano in the choir. I loved my music classes,…
say no to me since I was the first born. I noticed that I was spoiled between the ages ten and twelve. This affected the way I perceived things and how I believed that the things around me I should have whenever I wanted them. When I first started high school at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School I learned solitary, being kind to others, and reflecting on the past. I knew I was spoiled at a younger age but did not do anything about it. Brebeuf helped me find a way to be more capable of being less…
true. Students should still be strongly encouraged to earn a college degree, but not told that it is the ticket to their future career. Of course, a college education should be priority for everyone, but students may shy away from school after a high school diploma if they find that a college degree is not as worthwhile as previously stressed. Students could gain the same motivation and appreciation…
Being a freshman in high school is extremely hard , especially when all your friends went to a different high school. Here I am at Rocky River High eating lunch alone, shy to talk to anyone, and just being “a loner “ people would describe me. Meanwhile at Butler High all my friends are happy reunite with one another , have class and lunch together. The feeling of being alone sucked. A couple weeks into school they had volleyball tryouts. I decided to go since I knew how to play. Tryouts lasted…
hard times in life and that God has a plan no matter what even if it is not what you envisioned. This is so meaningful because you are able to be in a safe and non-judgmental place where you can talk about anything on your mind. Being in middle or high school can make you feel alone even though you are never alone, there is always someone that is in a very similar position as you who can help you or guide you through. My circumstances of committing to Jesus started in 7th grade when I first when…
It was always a mystery to see what would happen next in my family. From traveling coast to coast in the United States, to visiting Europe, and my favorite which was Canada, my family was always up to something whether it be good or bad. Family to me was something that I could never withstand being apart from. I loved my parents, Richard and Barbara, but I was closer to my older sister Misty. Misty and I were closer than any other siblings have ever been in the existence of this earth. Dad and…
