High School Musical

It wasn’t until I was entering my freshman year of high school that a challenge became almost immediately life changing. Feeling as though I was climbing a mountain; not knowing if I was going to successfully make it to the top. Feeling like I was crossing a road; unknowing of what was going to be on the other side. Never had anything been so scary or so difficult to execute. I walked in to the school. Frightened and hesitant. There were hundreds of people, standing around and talking like a…

little did he know that Charlie was into trouble and wasn't the best influence for Marcus. The opposing force of trouble over took Marcus once again, and it would test his mental strength. Little does Marcus realize, Greg has alzheimer's. Marcus is a high schooler who recently moved into small town in the middle of summer. There isn’t much at all to do in this lonely boring town that they live in. Marcus walks around for days trying to find something to do until he comes across an older man…

"You shouldn’t have even come to this competition!" I had to get up very early that morning, because we had to be at the competition at 6:30 AM. The high school where the competition was held was extremely small. My studio's dressing room was the band room, which was way too small for 85 people. The room was grey with instruments everywhere. There were no windows, which made it very stuffy and hot, so it was very hard to change in and out of costumes. The stage was a little too slippery,…

If you would have told me three years ago that would be living in Smithville and going to a different school I wouldn’t have believed you. Three years ago I was in sixth grade and living in St.Joe. My parents had talked about my dad getting a new job, but I never thought we would have to move. I thought I was going to go to middle school with my friends and nothing would change, but everything changed. My dad got the new job and then my mom started talking about moving to Smithville because she…

Flake One of the things I reminisce about my high school year experience is the time my iPod got stolen. It was almost the end of my high school junior year when this happened. Not only was it stolen, but I got it back. Well more like I took it back. It took a while to figure out who had stolen my iPod. This small, slick, thin black electronical machine that fitted in my delicate hands had so much sentimental value to me. My older brother had given it to me for my birthday. Having my iPod…

To Whom It May Concern: October 29, 2013 As Kapolei High School’s biology teacher I am writing to recommend Stephanie Gutierrez Stephanie was my Biology student for one year 2012-2013. Along with being involved in many school extracurricular activities such as weekly piano lessons and volunteering at the Performing Arts Center of Kapolei, Stephanie was a very conscientious student and always put forth her best effort in class and outside of class. In class she was always eager to…

It was the twenty-third of October in the year of 2014 at exactly 2:15 P.M. the day was so far very beautiful as I went to Lamar’s University’s Geology building in room 101. When I walked in, it looked like a lecture room that I would have expected to see most of my college life. It bolstered my anxiety for college to new heights as I became worried about my future; I prayed that this presentation that Dr. Beth Anderson was doing would help me feel positive or “Thinking Optimistically” for my…

Since moving to Bettendorf for my High School years I have learned more than I could imagine and for that, I will be grateful for forever. I have learned more about myself, more in school, and most importantly I have learned from my mistakes including how to fix them to prevent myself from ever making them again. Everyone makes mistakes and may possibly get in trouble for these. I will never forget Bettendorf High School nor February 28th, 2018. February 28th was a day that has changed how I…

What do like about high school? Do you like all of the responsibility or not? Do you like all of the tests or not? High school is going to be a lot of work. I am interested to see what it is like. What are you dreading in high school? I am dreading the more difficult math and science. I am also dreading the social studies and language arts. I definitely will dread all of the fights. I will not like all of the test that they give you. I will not like all the homework either. The last thing I…

junior year in high school when I earned an academic letter for receiving all A's during a semester. I was born in Mexico and I was brought over to Colorado when I was 4 years old. I originally had a hard time in school, because I didn't know any English. I had to learn it while also learning the new material that was being taught to us in school. I started off elementary school a little behind everyone else, and it took me a while to start catching up to my peers. Middle school was when I…
