My Favorite Experience In School

“RING!” The bell had finally rung and it was time for me to go to 9th period. This was my favorite period because my only friend Mike was sitting next to me in Art. As we walked in, the Art teacher, Ms. Sims greeted us on our way to our seats. The air condition was on full blast as I was shivering with goosebumps everywhere. I didn’t want to ask her to turn the A/C down because was teaching another kid how to do the painting. She hates it when she is disrupted. When she finished before I could get

My time spent at Yew Chung International School (YCIS), the school I attended in Shanghai, influenced and shaped me to recognize my key factors in deciding what high school I wanted to go to which included, the type of music programs, along with the sport teams I would like to take and participate in; thus resulting in my choice to come to Beacon. In 2013, my mother had to move to Shanghai due to job requirements. I decided to go with my mother and spend the next 18 months in another country.

elementary school, I wasn’t the kind of person to participate regularly. I didn’t bring cupcakes on my birthday and I was always incredibly quiet around new people. So I was surprised with myself when I decided to sign up for summer WRAP. If you’re unfamiliar with what WRAP is, it's a program where they entertain you for a couple hours. The only problem was, none of my (three) friends were attending. By the time I realized this, it was too late to quit. So I was going to be spending my entire summer

embarrassing experience in middle school. The most rewarding experience from my middle school years would be when I entered a writing contest to meet the author Patrick Carmen, who was coming to speak at my middle school. I ended up being one of the students who won the competition and got to have lunch with Patrick Carmen. I got to talk to him about his books, which I had read and he signed a book for me. The most embarrassing experience for me in middle school was most of middle school. I was bullied

School Bells When we get older,and seeing all of our old teachers and all of the new kids going to their first day of school, can really make someone reflect on their memories to meeting their best friends, first baseball games, meeting new people, and their first day of school. For many of us, our first day of kindergarten wasn't something we wanted to experience. Like most, everyone thought one of their parents would stay with them the whole day. But as soon as they would turn around and see

I didn’t see as many cultural differences until I started to attend college at Bluefield State College. But that isn’t where I met Eduardo Henrique Pereira. We met playing soccer on my old high school’s soccer field one sunny afternoon. He is from San-Paulo, Brazil and currently attends Princeton Senior High School. He is only seven-teen years old and has been in America for only nine months. I was very eager to find out what his hobbies and interests are and just how different Brazil was from America

The 10th grade was full of new learning experiences. Most of these experiences came from books and studying. By far I learned the most from school which topics included Algebra, Geometry, U.S. History, World Literature, English writing, Home Economics, Religion, and Human Anatomy. The 10th grade also brought me learning experiences from less didactic means, such as family and life. One of the first subjects I tackled in the 10th grade was Math. Initially I covered Geometry learning about polygons

acronym to remember them in order. Another one of my favorite science memories from elementary school was when we learned about the water cycle. We learned a song to go along with it. I still remember the song and will never forget the water cycle. My elementary school had a science lab that each class visited once a week. We did experiments like making ice cream (which we were not allowed to eat) and

I attended Grand Blanc Academy in Grand Blanc, Michigan. I was sitting in a hard yellow chair with my name tag at the top of the table. My Pre-School teacher Mrs. Stringer would hand out writing paper to practice our writing. The paper contained a row with the letters provided for us to copy on the row below. After all the letters in the alphabet were completed, we would move onto do the same thing with numbers 0-10. After we completed our writing practice for the day, Mrs. Stringer would have us

Camp Hazen was a great experience and definitely an experience to remember. Two of my favorite times were being in Cabin 8 with all my friends. It was crazy fun. Another one of my favorite times there was the alpine tower and swing. It allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. Here’s the story. Being in cabin 8 was the best situation possible. We were away from all the crazy boys in a nice cabin having the best conversations with some of my favorite people in the school. We had an exuberant bond
