High School Musical

back a notch. It was the end of the school year and it was time for football season to come around. We had running lifting this whole summer. A lot of people say your junior year is your most important so I was working extra hard, late 12 o'clock lift with my cousin and running the hill at leather lips park after practice. I was emailing coaches non stop to get one step closer to my dream of playing in college. I got emails back from a few D2 and D1 schools inviting me to their games.…

was, hated being around irritating and childish people. Unfortunately, that’s how the soccer players were and the reason why I wasn’t joining the soccer team my freshman year. But, the future had different plans for me. . . My freshman year in high school I was a nerd, A’s in most of my classes. Hated students that only went to class to argue with the teacher or just to make fun of them. I would always looked at the soccer players in the middle of the hall way screaming, jumping, and pushing…

and Science Fiction Contemplation Being a nerd is the best. I mean, sure you're not going to be the coolest person in school and may get picked on but so what. High school students are like wild animals. They want to have the biggest, most baddest pack, or group of people, around them. So yes, the students that are alone going to have a difficult time getting through high school, and usually the ones left out have some sort of nerdy or "wired" tendency. Real life is a lot more nice than…

Have you ever felt that all the hardwork you have put into something has been worthless? This is the exact feeling I felt when I lost my varsity spot for the 138 pound weight class on my high school wrestling team. The previous year as a freshman I had been very successful making it to state and helping my team win the state championship, but I was a 106 pounder, the lowest weight class. Over the summer I gained nearly thirty pounds, and I was now wrestling at the 138 pound weight class. I…

it was because she liked riding on the back of his new motorcycle. Keegan thought it was a good idea for Luc to have his own transportation, with his practice starting before class which meant before the sunset. And Keen needing the car to get to school after the sunset. They had their first game in two weeks. During their second week of practice Luc was walking into the locker room while Lexi waited outside. “Joe, did you hear about David?” Luc was half listening. “Man he almost got killed…

years in school, I have been exposed to many different forms of literacy. Areas I have been or am literate in are reading, writing, music, social media, and workplace. Besides reading and writing, workplace literacy is the biggest area I am literate in. This is my biggest area because I have worked the same job since the summer before my junior year of high school in 2013. This job is in a veterinarian’s office and I would, with full confidence, say that this isn’t the normal job of a high…

This transition seems especially difficult for Melinda because of the loss of her elementary school friends. Because I have read this book before, I know the happenings of the party over the summer, and I have knowledge as to why her friends have made her a social pariah without really seeing her side of the story. I think Melinda really dislikes…

I am currently a junior at Arroyo High School. I am glad to hear and congratulate you for graduating middle school and begins a new journey. Also, I hope you are looking forward for it because high school is a place where you will have a fabulous and wonderful experience and you start to develop your own way of thinking and perspectives. At first it may be a little bit challenging and you may face ups and downs throughout the course of it. However, it will pay off at the end. The thirteen…

Becoming a freshmen, meeting new people, managing all my time, were some of the adversities I’ve overcome since starting high school. Being a sophomore is difficult, the classes are harder, you still have three years left, there’s not always much to look forward to. However, every day I am thankful for the people I have met in the past year, and even though this life I lead is quite stressful, I’ve never had the motivation like I have no to get up in the mornings and really commit to what I am…

In freshman year of high school, I decided to try out for the freshman soccer team. I had not played for the middle school team but I had played for a club outside of school. Most of my teammates were also trying out so I decided that I should try out too. The first round of tryouts were two days long after school and the second round was one day. Out of the 34 kids that tried out, ten would be cut in the first round. On the first day of tryouts, we were doing all kinds of passing, shooting,…
