High School Musical

So school was over and the game was right after school so Shaelin went in the locker room and put on his jersey and went to…

Once upon a time, I was a little girl. Just seven years old. Off on a new adventure to a new school, wondering if I would make friends. Or if they would already have friends. Or if my teachers would like me. And all of those were true. I made friends and lost friends, and some moved away. Like Zoe White in fifth grade. She has moved to California, but this year, she moved to Wilmington. I hope to see her for the first time in three years soon. I started at Magellan as a quiet child who…

I made my first nickel when I was six by investing in a school business run by the fourth-grade moguls. Every year, they collected a dollar from prospective investors and used the contributions to purchase ingredients for a dessert sold at lunchtime. Later, they would return the money with interest. I invested in these ventures annually, and eventually, it was my turn to be an entrepreneur. The dessert we sold that year was snow cones, and more than earning money, I loved the way I made people…

My high school experience has been strikingly different than what I see on TV, in movies, or read in books. While I know some people at my school clearly identify with a single archetype, I feel that I cannot be characterized by any one of these labels: jock, nerd, or rebel. Rather, I am a unique mix of the qualities of all three. I am like a jock because I am serious about the sports in which I participate. I run cross country, winter track, and spring track. While I am not yet a varsity…

I started wrestling for the Smithville Youth Wrestling Club. At the time I was in the fifth grade and I was 12 years old. At first I hated the idea of wrestling because of the tight singlet you had to wear, and also the idea of people making fun of you because of “rolling around with other guys”. Plus to make thing worse a lot of the other kids there have already wrestled since they were 5 which gave them more experience. I remember coming home from practice and just hating wrestling because it…

You are being demoted to JV. It’s something a athlete never wants to hear. To reach the point where you are on the varsity team, and then to feel as if all of that hard work was taken away from you. It’s debilitating. I had to hear these words the spring of my sophomore year, after playing the first quarter of the season on the varsity team. I had taken my role on the team for granted, assuming my place was secure while allowing my level of play to drop. I felt like a failure, but in the end it…

She tried cutting her hair shorter, walking with a slouch to try and make herself fit in, but that didn’t work at all. It only made her stand out even more. High School went better for her, she learned to accept the fact and not care that she is going to be tall and tower over most of the kids. From this story I learned to accept myself for how I am now and not to change that because of how everyone else…

2010. That’s when it all began. School was great, in fact, everything was great, until the moment my mother came to pick me up from school to take me to my cousin’s house. Curious, yet anxious, little did I know what was to come. The conversation between my mother and aunt seemed normal. However, all of a sudden my mother asked a question: Is Kumon really worth it? A simple answer of yes followed, and that’s when everything turned upside down. Kumon, an after-school program to enhance an…

of perseverance to get the job done. I have wrestled nine years and last year in Canton was one of my best EMS performances. The early morning , tiring bus ride, and sleepy teammates started out with a 6:00 bus time.(Magic 3) We got to Canton High School and I weighted in and was below 112 and then we could eat. We were so hungry we have eaten a cow.(Fig. Language) I was ready for the long but fun day. My parents arrived before we started and they were excited to watch me wrestle again, but my…

When my freshmen year of high school in the fall of 2014, I was beginning to look forward to a great year, a great season of cross-country, and a great new school. What I wasn’t looking forward to was the problems and adjustments I would have to make as a new freshmen in high school, especially my first ever all boys, Catholic School. I knew adjustments were a part of life and that I would have to come to terms to that and enjoy the new experience as much as I could. The problems I was trying to…
