High School Musical

few years and barely being able to go to a single school for more than a grade, the thing I craved the most in my life was a steady group of friends and maybe a consistent pizza place to order from. It’s not like I was oblivious to how lucky I was. Travelling across the country was an experience that many people don’t get to have. I am able to say that Lake Michigan sparkled like a pool made of liquid diamonds in the mornings on my way to school. The dusk sky in New Mexico left me breathless…

Nikki Maxwell i’m fourteen years old and I just found out that my dad got me a scholarship to a private middle school called Westchester Country Day because of his exterminating buisness. When I arrive at the school I find out that my locker is next to one of the most popular girl in school MacKenzie Hollister. MacKenzie does everything she can to make my life miserable. While in school I find two new friends named Zoey and Chloe. But one day while going into class I meet a boy named Brandon…

This is my very last day at Lakefront highschool before I move to Mountain View High and I could not be regretting it more. My dad got a new job in Missouri and we have to move there. The thought just rushed to my brain, I have to leave my very best friend behind that I’ve known since pre-school. Right as I walked into school I gave her the biggest hug I have ever given someone. It made mine and her face turn red as I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her to the point she couldn’t breath.…

I still remember my Junior year like it was yesterday. I was so blind to how the real world worked. I was stuck in a fantasy. One day I was diagnosed with a life changing disease. A couple of days later I lost all my friends. I turned into a completely different person. I isolated myself from everyone. My own family couldn’t get to me. So many fake friends surrounded me. Every day I would think I was the guy that everyone wanted to chill with when it was the complete opposite. I was there not…

The wave is about a class and a teacher named Ben Ross who can seem to understand how the German people could have followed Hitler and the Nazis. So, Mr. Ross, has the class do an experiment that shows them discipline but also shows them power. Throughout the book he teaches the three motos, strength through discipline, strength through action, and last but not least strength through community. As the book goes on the students start to become brainwashed and have no individualism. They are all…

After 13 years of cheerleading, I have learned that there are many ways that you can get hurt. I would never listen to my coach when he would tell me that I needed to stop or that I needed to change the way I would tumble. He would try to teach me the correct way, and I would just brush it off because I thought that I knew everything about tumbling. But of course, I didn’t. I was working on my fulls and my coach kept telling me to use my hips to spin. “I am getting all the way around, so I…

never thought I would be where I am today. My experiences on high school sports teams have not only impacted my life throughout these last four years, but made me who I am. I could not imagine the person I would have become without participating in high school athletics. The immense time commitment has never hindered me, but taught me lessons I will never forget. Going into my freshman year, the first experience I had with high school athletics was the swim team. In my town, the swim team is…

literally or figuratively, I always brush off the pain and get back up with a smile on my face. I always strive to get better at everything I do and no matter what I always give everything my all. I want to be the best person I can be. My entire high school career had gone exactly how I had planned and hoped for it to go, until winter of my junior year. We were almost halfway through our basketball season when I had to face a pretty big hurdle. We were having an amazing season and were…

As I stepped into my EOP (Educational Opportunity Program) counselor’s office, I was scared, this was my first official school related appointment on campus. One of the recurring message throughout this first appointment was, to become involved and join a club. Consequently, during Discoverfest, I did not find any clubs that sparked my interest. The following week, one of my floormates said he was going to the Folklorico club rehearsal and I should join him. After persistent begging, I decided…

before spring break where I knew my life would be forever changed! I was in the 10th grade and I have dreamed of always performing in the school talent show and winning the title of ‘’ Most Talented’’ and of course the cash prize. I knew this day would come where I would have to show my true talent of singing and confront my stage freight. Everyone in the school knew I can sing and they also knew I was shy but I followed my gut and signed up for the show anyway. It was the most terrifying thing…
