My Life has never been easy. I’ve never been the smartest or the most athletic which has brought me down lots of times because I have always envied the people who can get an A on the super hard math test or the person who is good at every sport just magically, but me, I’ve always been the funny girl; the girl thats always happy and smiley. Everyday I put on a smile and try to be nice to everyone even during hard times. Being this outgoing person has given me opportunities in school to branch out
High School is a very crucial place for most people, but I can definitely say it was very difficult for me. I did well in school, well enough for me. Now, to me the requirements to graduate high school seemed too difficult for one person, then again, most people manage to do; let me rephrase that: it seemed too difficult for me. I guess the main focus throughout this memoir is; when does your life truly begin? At the start of birth or the walk across the stage? Well, here’s how mines began. The
When people used to tell me that high school would be the best four years of my life, I never seemed to believe them. Looking at where I am today makes me believe them when they say that high school will also be the fastest four years of my life. It is crazy to even think that just yesterday I was mentally preparing myself to walk into the doors of Lasalle Peru High School, and today I am mentally preparing myself to walk out of the doors of Streator High School. Time truly does fly when you are
During the last four years of my high school life I came across a number of different teachers, all of them together had different styles of teaching and some were more positive than others. Be that as it may, despite the different characters that wanted to mentor me and those who care not too there were three women who gave of them self and did their best to teach a young Black girl a few extra things. Distinguished from their co-workers it showed me just what a great teacher is. The individual
My first year of high school, I did not think too much about self-growth. I thought more about finding new friends. The determination for new friends helped me gain the courage to join a sport and numerous of clubs. I decided to join tennis; keeping in mind I have never touched a racquet, nor stepped a foot on a tennis court before my first day of tennis class. I remember the gut wrenching nerves I had running all around my body when I met my coach and new teammates. Ranked second to last on the
desired traits in life. Being the most popular kid at school is a typical high school student mindset. Selecting the highest paying job is pretty common amongst adults, and while all these attributes may be nice, they are nothing compared to joy of living a life filled with fun. My mom helped me realize this, and it has stuck with me throughout life. Soccer has always been an important part of my life. From age five I played soccer every summer, winter, spring, and fall. It was my favorite sport,
I grew up in a life where I was told I needed to go to church at 8:20 every Tuesday, had to wear collared shirts of only red, white, or blue that are to be tucked into my khaki pants, held up by the mandatory belt, and I had better pray to Jesus that I can sneak past the teachers with my forbidden neon socks. This life was Catholic School. Attending Resurrection, honestly, was pretty fantastic; of course, no kid wanted to wear those tragic uniforms every day when they know other kids are wearing
High school is supposed to be the best four years of your life but for me it was not even close. My freshman year was the year I knew I was going to be miserable for the next 3 years. Lets just have a brief run down of my first year of high school. Freshman Year I was in Cheerleading, Track, Peers, Student council and I was always involved with the school. I never missed a football game or basketball game. I had lots of friends and was doing good in school. I always came to school and was in activities
Everyone always talks about how high school was so fun and you should have the time of your life, and everyone got along, but I never quite saw it. High school for me was not a time of befriending everyone, finding love, and fun times. To me, it was a confined prison, full of sweaty kids, stupid drama, and overwhelming work to do. I spent the majority of the time trying to find who I belong with, a club I fit in to, people to hang out with, and how not to be such an awkward person all the time. I
Newman. I am tall with auburn hair and blue eyes. I live the normal life of a seventeen year old in high school. I have sublime friends, a great boyfriend, and an even better family that surround me. I plan to go to an excellent college to become a Structural Engineer right after I figure out how to pay for it. My life is going to be unforgettable. Whenever my eyes open, I see my mother, and she tells me it’s time to wake up for school. Today is the last day before Winter Break. Today, I will take
