Ninth Doctor

My experience at Balfour Collegiate in Regina, Saskatchewan began much like others. In grade nine I wanted nothing more but to be accepted. I was sincerely lucky in the case that Balfour was one of the smaller schools in Regina, so within time I found my place. How I found my place was involving myself. At the grade nine open house almost every other student stressed, “Get involved! It’s the best way meet people and find your place!” This statement was so true. I never particularly new who I was…

classes from professional musicians. Starting in high school I also started attending the Baldwin Wallace Youth Orchestra, which gave me more performance and learning opportunities. Without LMS, I wouldn’t have any of these opportunities. In the ninth…

Kathleen Gregg sits on the couch straight faced as usual, probably already thinking of what she will say before I ask a single question. She answers almost every question, more like she was writing it, not saying it, with an indifferent tone. Her high school experience was divided, on one side there was the small desert town, and on the other was the rich sophisticated San Diego suburb. Basically the exact opposite of each other , unknowing of the other. Her high school experience started in…

Every morning in grade eight, I would wake and throw on my white blouse, my rainbow plaid skirt, my matching plaid tie, my green knee high socks and my black leather shoes and go off to school. I wasn’t a good student throughout elementary school, I had breezed by at the bottom of my class. My grade eight English teacher even told my parents and I that I was going to fail high school English if nothing changed by next year. While everyone was studying with their SSAT tutors and stressing over…

Finding My Angel There is no real answers, why this happens or how it happens because there are no real signs. Many people go in the dark every day about it. We learn to lie, make excuses just to hide our very deadly secret. Everyone has their own reasons for why or how it started, everyone is different, but we are all headed down the same path to the same ending unless there is an angel hiding in the darkness along the way that will show us to the light at the end of the painful tunnel. I…

About six years ago, I moved to the United States together with my family. After having been here for one week, I started my ninth grade. I learned English in Vietnam for a couple years before moving. However, my skills weren’t good enough for me to understand and talk to my teachers and peers. I struggled for a long time to fit in. Everything to me was unfamiliar. Beside having a difficult time to understand the new language, I was also having a hard time to getting used to other aspects of the…

ome of my greatest memories were of my learning in school. At the end of my second grade year, I was in a school bus accident. When I got to the hospital they said a had a head concoction, and needed to stay for testing to see how bad it was. I went to school with the ability to learn like all the other student, but came home with a long path to relearning all my school functions. My struggle through learning has been a lifelong process, through multiple programs, lots of encouragement, and a…

Lessons Learn In life I have faced many disappointments and downfalls in which I have learned many important lessons over the years. Yes, indeed it hurts and makes you very upset and want to not trust in someone never again because of something a person done to you before and you feel as if the next person is going to do the same thing towards you as they did. I have many disappointments in life that I have face but they only made me a stronger and wiser young lady even though when it had…

Have you ever seen a two year old break his or her arm? Well, my brother and my neighbors have. One day, while I was playing with my brother and my neighbors, I lost my balance close to the curb and fell off the sidewalk. For the next six to eight weeks, I walked around in a cast having learnt my lesson. I feel like this experience sort of represents my life in a way. Sometimes when you 're not careful, you fall down but when you get up, you develop some experience and wisdom. From childhood, to…
