School story

first time moving in between school years and being young and gullible, I was excited for school. At the time I never realized how few go to Alaska, so I was confused every time the spotlight shined on me when I uttered that state. But I never did shy from it. I adored it. But no, I did not live in an igloo or ever met a penguin that wasn’t in a zoo. “I am gonna make all new friends,” I continued ranting to myself to tame my nervousness on the car ride to school. “You are fine.

High School Tennis Team The sun has just risen into the atmosphere where it creeps into the littlest openings of my worthless blinds. In my mind I feel a nuisance, a bothersome, due to the current deficiency of my restfulness. But I suppose that “everything in this life has a purpose” (Kübler-Ross). It was early on a Saturday morning; the weather was quite pleasant with the temperature ranging from the high sixties to the low seventies. I can feel the breeze coming from east carrying the…

It was almost summer vacation at Roanoke High School. You could hear it through the hallways. All the chit chat, the excited squeaks, the groans for the day to be over. The sun was shining brightly onto the overwhelmed students who were filled with anticipation; longing for that sweet chime of a bell, announcing to them that they were free. Free of the anxiety, free of the drama, free of the constant work. They were almost free. They could do whatever they pleased. This staggering anticipation…

I wake up at 6 in the morning, walk by my kitchen refusing to eat breakfast at 6:10, and pack my duffle bag by 6:35. After brushing my teeth at 6:50, I leave for school at 7 with my brother and my father. Classes begin at 7:35am and end at 2:12pm. Standing in the locker room changing my clothes and lacing up my shoes by 2:25, I remind myself why I put myself through this ritual every single day. The gym doors open at 2:30, when dozens of student athletes crowd the athletic directors office…

8th grade students should be taught the horror genre in school. I think this because; the horror genre is an interesting and fun unit to read. It helps us exercise the emotion of fear, and allows kids to compare real life problems to something much scarier. It also provides new emotional tools when facing real life problem. Here are some examples why I truly believe that 8th grade students should still be taught the horror unit One reason why I believe that 8th grade students should still be…

her ass of a boss, Mr. Thomas. At least that what she thought. She looked up, startled when she witnessed her oak, door fling open. Diamond has the paranoia of a dork. It got so crazy, sometimes she would have her husband, Jayceon Taylor sit at the school with her and grade. "Still her Mrs, Taylor?" Mr Thomas smirked. Diamond smiled awkwardly as he took a seat at the nearest desk close to her. He chuckled and placed a finger on one of the exams she was grading, that happened to be the paper of…

The double doors of Mason County High School soared open at three o 'clock on a sunny spring afternoon. School was out for the summer. Students darted out of the school like they were being chased by something colossal, repugnant, and petrifying. “Ouch!” wailed Tyra as she was pushed down by this gargantuan pack of mad wolves sprinting as if they had their eyes on prey. Tyra continued on, “The boys at this school are SO annoying and immature!” “Atleast boys give you attention. I would do…

It read “Earl Lloyd, Parker- Gray High School class of 1946, first African-African to play in the N.B.A. Washington Capitols 1950.
