Twelfth grade

It all started in 2010 with my love for basketball. I was in elementary school in the 4th grade. After school we went to a after school program where we would get our homework done and to play outside for an hour a day. There everyday after school I would be able to play outside for an hour for 5 days a week. Soon I began to play basketball with my friends and found the game very interesting. I loved how people on the team all worked together to accomplish a common goal and how we were all as…

tale I noticed many grammatical mistakes but beyond that I noticed the level of creativity that Nolan put into this tale. Nolan mentions, dragons and unicorns and evil princes and touches every element a fairytale has. Although Mrs. Finster does not grade their writing for anything other than completion I believe Nolan did an extraordinary job with this writing piece. I can tell he enjoyed writing it as well because there are bits and pieces of his humor throughout the tale, for example the…

He was the top scientist at the Oscorp laboratory. He was designing a hover pad, and a chemical that is supposed to make a human stronger and better without any side affects.

He tested it on himself and became The Green Goblin. He killed his fellow scientist and the government people who would accept his ideas.…

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…

Growing up in African was difficult. I was there till I was 10 years old, moving from a different family member each year to find a place that would be suitable for me to be successful at school. I am not one of those kids that education came to easily, I used to hate going to school. I hated the fact that I was always the last person to get the right answer in class and that is if I did get the answer right at all. I hated the fact what I could never talk to my friends about how I was doing in…

My mother didn’t get too far in her education, only third grade because money was tight at the time and she wasn’t the only child, she was the first of nine all getting as far as third grade. My father on the other hand was the only child to go far in school, having finished all of high school with grades equivalent to straight “A.” Unfortunately my dad had lost his mom at thirteen and my grandfather’s damn machismo pride got in…

entential. I wanted to make a change to my body and that’s how I decided to do it. I was dancing a lot, I started working out at home and during the summers I had a gym membership. It was excessive but at the time, I thought it was normal. Beginning of grade 11, I came down with the flu, and lost 10 pounds. That kicked off the weight loss and I never gained that back. By this point, all I had was a devil on my shoulder telling me what to do, what not to eat. I got an app to track my calorie in…
