High School Dream : A Short Story

High School came and i ended up getting pregnant with a baby boy.I put school on hold so i can be there to raise my son.I was a single parent.I felt like i had to drop out of school and start working to support my son.Thats what i ended up doing.It was really hard for me.As my class graduated i was working being a single parent,it made me really sad to see my class graduate without me.

I continued taking my college courses at UCO, mainly online except for the speech class due to my hectic schedule. I soon met a man that I know call my husband and we own a house, all things I only dreamed of happening to me.

I went back to Nevada to clear my head and my wife stayed behind in Florida, while there, I realized that I was a couple credits from receiving my high school diploma and was really upset, because I had always thought I graduated. My wife thought I should stay and finish my credits to get my diploma and she moved back with me while I struggled with the school work. I hadnt been in school for so long and it seemed so much harder facing the curriculum at my age then. I struggled and failed, but I kept getting back up and trying again and I did pass and received my high school diploma. This was very important to me because I didnt want to be just another bum on the street that didnt do anything with my life. I had big dreams and all though I had left them on the back burner for a while, they were still there inside me, just waiting for a chance to make them happen.

Through many life obstacles I was not very fortunate or goal driven to attempt to go to college after high school. Grew up in a military family so my family was stricter about keeping their children

The beginning of my college experience was as typical as any other: I missed my family, friends, and home. Being uprooted from familiar soil and forced to settle in a garden teeming with (obnoxious) roommates, communal

College is such an environment that it allows me to have freedom to choose my own classes, and have opportunities that allow me to better myself as a person. Through programs like those that help someone study abroad or complete a service project,

Aziz got out of bed right as his alarm clock went off. He was ecstatic for the day ahead. He needed to hop in the shower and then eat breakfast before he could start the exciting part of his day. Today was the day for high school basketball tryouts at Glenn High School. Aziz shouldn’t be nervous, but he was. He couldn’t think about anything other than tryouts and was extremely scared of missing all his shots. He could just picture himself going up for layup after layup; the ball barely grazing the rim on every shot he took. He tried not to think about it, but it just wouldn’t erase from his mind. But once he got in the shower he started to relax just a little bit. He rinsed his body and was calming himself down. It was around nine thirty in the morning, and try outs were at eleven thirty. He could have slept longer if he wanted, but his body wouldn’t do it. He needed to get to that gym. He wanted to eat a healthy breakfast, so he got out some pots and pans and started cooking himself some eggs, bacon, grits, and sausage. Right after he finished cooking it, he wolfed

My life changed dramatically when I hit my freshman year of college, and many things happened to me that I could never have foreseen. I have made horrible choices while in college, not just simple things that could be dealt with in a day or a week, rather it is going to affect me later in life. I was on the college

If you knew anything about Penelope Wood you wouldn’t expect her to be lying dead on the cold cement just meters away from the last incident, and yes this isn’t the first time someone has “committed suicide” at Middle Park High. I find it absurd that anyone would ever think she would purposely climb to the top of the science block and jump, like what makes those stupid cops think it was a suicide? Not to mention only the teachers had keys to the stairs after what Thomas did. Something like this would never have crossed her mind and I most definitely know this because she was my friend, not just because she was the only one who stuck by when everyone else harassed me after my Mother made me cut my hair like a boy but because we were almost the

Emily, Jasmine, Rene, and Rihanna were on their way to there school, Cedarcrest Junior High, and One day they got in trouble for starting a food fight. They stayed there for almost 5 hours cleaning everyone's mess in the cafeteria.it was really dark they, turned there flashlights on from there phone. They could burly see where they were walking. They tried to open the door, but the door couldn't open they were locked in the school campus

It was a year after the fight. Everything had returned to normal at Trinity High School. Everything was going good for Jerry, except for he didn’t play football this year because of his teammates targeting him last season.

When it comes to college I sometimes wish that I wouldn’t have rushed to get out of high school. There is so much that comes along with college that I’m not use too such as: sharing a bathroom, waking up on my own, and sharing a room with a stranger. When I first applied to Arkansas Tech my roommate was my best friend, but after receiving a scholarship for $20,000 she decided to go to Philander Smith. After hearing the news, I was happy that she was able to receive a scholarship worth that much, but I was also angry and sad at the same time because we were officially splitting apart. The part that I hated the most was being kicked out of the room I applied for and being put into a room with a stranger. Moving into the room was very awkward

Life after school felt very short of my plans. Although I love my husband, I became very isolated. In part by moving out of state and

stone. I thought I was living the “dream” life. Two weeks before I was supposed to be leaving for school, I found out I was pregnant. My life came tumbling down, I felt like a complete failure. I went down to South Caroline and unenrolled from College. I started community college instead and stayed living with my parents. Soon after, I was excited for my son to be born. My son saved me from being in major debt. The school in

It’s the end, high school is finally over. It’s finally graduation day, and a wave of emotion hit, and I’ve never been hit with a wave quite this hard, not even at the beach. I’m not the type to get sad, but as I walk around in my long draping gown, my cap the doesn’t quite fit because of my abnormally large head, and my state championship ring I can’t help but be overwhelmed with emotion. Being the guy that I am I ignore it as always and I continue going around to teachers and give them hugs, thanking them for the help they’ve given me. Watching everyone take pictures, crying, talking about their futures, and how “they’ll have to meet up sometime” as if they’re moving to another country when they are just really moving to the next town over. I swore the day before, the week before, even months before I would be sad, and wouldn’t know what to do with myself when today actually comes, but I can’t seem to find the emotions. All of them are on the inside and won’t come out. On the inside I feel sad, and upset and I want to just hug everyone and cry, but I can’t. I don’t have time to think about crying, because of all the chaos going on around me. We only got one practice in ahead of time, just about nobody actually listened to what we are supposed to be doing, so everyone’s doing their own thing. I walk through the halls and realize this is my final last. I’ve had my last soccer game, I’ve attended my last football game and cheered them onto another loss, and now in
