Tenth Doctor

As a new grade nine at Brentwood, bright eyed and bushy tailed, I viewed my seniors in the highest of regard, for they could do no wrong. For all that I knew, they didn’t party, do drugs or get into any means of trouble. I remember the shock of finding out that my snowball date, an exceptional rugby player, polite young man, and not to mention a handsome one at that, was an avid cocaine user. How could someone like that, who went to a school such as Brentwood, do that? It was then that my veil…

to a student with Cs and Ds. By the time eighth grade came around, I would play video games to escape and would escape briefly from my problems and feelings. Then, in ninth grade, I missed a lot of school and would stay home and watch movies. In tenth grade, I started to realize that I hit my rock bottom and stopped blaming other people for my problems and started to make changes and improve my attendance and start over in school. In eleventh grade I was set back with a concussion in…

but when you think with your emotions you will fight with a feeling that will eventually change. As freshman, we were emotional and we acted without thinking, and learning to remain impartial was one of most important lesson to me. Progressing on to tenth grade, we fell into our place and found out how things worked. We began to get serious about our education, and worked on preparing for the SAT and ACT. We were on our way to completely half of our high school education, and we were comfortable…

The Teacher From Hell Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! The dismissal bell just went off. As I was leaving the classroom, my teacher, Mr. Rase, the one I hate the most called me over and said “Jake Hazel, are you ready for the test” I quickly responded with a head nod and said, “Yeah I think I’ll be ready.” Mr. Rase then gobbled on by saying, “Fail is going to be what’s written all over your test!” So I quickly turned around and left the classroom, the only thing that I had going through my head was Mr…

During my fall semester of junior year, I have been exposed to various skills and knowledge. 11th grade has definitely proven to be a challenging year. Yet, I have learned so much about myself and my community within a semester. As a junior, applying for colleges and looking into a possible career is just around the corner. I have been privileged to be given the opportunity to begin this process my junior year. In my AP English Language and Composition course, my teacher, Mr.Shoji…

characters Carita and Doctor as they give background information to audience through dialogue. The objectives of each character is subtle in this french scene. In this scene, Doctor’s objective is to hide and escape from the police; meanwhile, Carita’s objective is to investigate what is happening around her as she asks questions such as, “where are we...what is that sound...what are you doing...where is Helda” (Dealers, 82). The impelling agent in this french scene is Doctor as he eavesdrops…

My ultimate goal in life has always been to be successful - to be happy with the career I choose, and to be able to make a living off of it. I 've always know, at least halfway, that I would have to work very hard to accomplish that goal, that promising futures are most often built off of how you conduct yourself in school. However, it 's really difficult to see how your future will pan out when you 're a high school freshman with no idea what you want to do, and despite your every effort, can…

Sophomore year I lived in College Hall South (CHS), one of the new buildings that went up. The class of 2017 (that’s my class) was the first to get to live in there so we got the untouched, unsoiled, fresh haven. We also got the unfixed glitches (fire alarms for days mehn -_-) but still CHS was awesome. I had the best roomie- her name is Maimuna. Maimuna is a hijabi- a muslim woman who covers her hair. A lot of people were actually kinda shocked that I chose to room with her. They assumed…

When I was asked to be the football team manager at my school, I did not know what my duties would be. My job did not have many clear roles, so I created a more contributing manager role. I took a CPR/first-aid training course, researched football-related injuries, and learned to wrap ankles, wrists, knees, etc. I was at practices 3 times a week and at the games. I provided hydration, recorded player info, kept track of gear, aided in pre-game preparation, provided first-aid care, and arranged…

It was back and forth for a while. My guidance counselor would call me down to his office to discuss the idea that my high school was going to cut the AP chemistry class for the following year and I had to pick a new science class for my junior year. When I asked why he told me that there were only eleven people signed up for the class and that they wanted fifteen to keep it open. To be fair it was understandable that most people would not want to sign up. Many found honors chemistry to be…
