After several years of saving up for a soccer camp at Texas A&M University, family and I finally accumulated the amount required for attendance. The camp was held in the summer of 2012 by several elite college coaches and trainers. The camp attracted serious and talented players. At the time, I was fourteen years old and had never been exposed to people that weren’t from the same region as I was. The furthest I had ever traveled was San Antonio so I didn’t know what is was to interact with…
To begin, four months is not extensively far away from now however your life will change extensively. I am truly excited for school, but I am so unbelievably anxious for what the future will entail. Subsequently this letter reminds me of the letter I wrote freshman year and opened senior year, which makes me reflect on my high school experience. I will whole-heartedly miss my friends; they are the sweetest most compassionate human beings. Arguably, I will miss their sarcasm, witty remarks, and…
yourself is seen everywhere all the time. This is the most common in high school students. Kids will get into troubled situations or even a positive scenario to make oneself have a better reputation. Competition like this starts at young age as kids see movies, TV shows, or read books about the “best four years of your life.” The cliques are so intriguing when you’re young and just want to fit in. If you really believe high school is ever like the shows, you may never truly enjoy these years as…
with shiny silver buckles. We’d met by chance at the bus stop. He showed up there when his motorcycle landed in the shop for minor repairs. He mentioned that he hated riding the bus, though, had no choice. I told him that I rode the bus home after school most days. Once we boarded, he sat in the seat beside me. We hit it off when he put on his motorcycle helmet and made funny faces to amuse me. When the older passengers stared, he didn’t…
I’ve been judged, broken down, betrayed, misunderstood, lost, but each and every time I’ve built myself up. It’s what high school does to people, pushes them to their limits, but yet empowers them to do better. Personally, my four years had its ups and downs, I’m upset yet excited about the fact that it’s time to say goodbye and open a new chapter in our lives. High school is a tough time for many students. The most difficult challenge for me was dealing with my anxiety attack three…
because I spent so much time with him. but as the year went on I had to deal with my health condition and school amongst other things, and I didn't see him as often. he didn't like that. he began threatening the people I was around besides him. so I sacrificed my health as well as my grades to spend time with him often. but as I spent more time with my newfound friends I made with the new school year, I had the tiniest increase in self worth. and with that, I began to shy away from him. but the…
It was a hot summer day after a challenging school year, and I was about to start my new summer job as an apprentice barber. While most of my friends went to camp to play sports, I wanted to spend my summer working and learning a trade. On my first day at the barbershop, I was nervous that I would not succeed. I felt my heart racing and my palms sweating as I mumbled under my breath, introducing my 15 year old self to the owner. The owner, unexpectedly, handed me my uniform and directed me to…
At the beginning of the year, the song I chose, . There is determination in my eyes because, “I’m just about ready for high school” I was thinking that. The song I chose is ‘Welcome to the Jungle”, original is recorded by “Guns n’ Roses, the one I chose is the same song just played on and by 2Cellos. The song is as loud as a jungle, just like the halls and lunch room. Kids running to the lunchroom is just like feeding time at the zoo. It’s like that because everybody wants to get food and…
Your senior year was exciting and definitely scary. The exciting part was learning all of the new subjects in all classes, especially reading new books in english and learning about Microsoft in technology communications. The scary part was the Veterinary Science senior project which was judged by an outside person. But it was also exciting because I was learning about something I wasn’t familiar with and doing plenty of research along with it. Senior year was scary, no, terrifying the closer…
A year had passed and my scars over the State loss were beginning to heal. My desire to win over a uniform kept coming back to me and kept me fighting for that position on the squad. When I was in a sophomore year, I finally earned it. Whenever I finally succeeded in making my dream happen, I was a little disappointed. I thought that picking out the uniform with my team or practicing the cheers would bring me pure joy, but that year was far from pleasant. I was not the only one who had the…
