My Sophomore Year Analysis

A lot has changed since freshman year. I moved to Oak Ridge, so my father and I could be with the family. I switched to Oak Ridge High School and struggled tremendously, but most importantly, I made friends that needed me. Although my trust issues are still very much a problem for me, I’ve learned to cope with them by surrounding myself with people that I love. My heart continues to swell every time I

The start of my 9th grade year at Elsik High School was chill. Even though most of my Friends from Killough went to Taylor or Hasting High School. Elsik has a campus just for the incoming freshman. I wasn't that intimidated about being a freshman because all of the incoming freshman were together. Its was hard for me to make friends. So I decided to to join Elsik Might Ram Football. Since i Joined the football team I met NIck,Tim, Correa,Luke and others that played football. Playing football help maintain an A&B average. Elsik High school had two buildings. One building was just for the freshman and other building was for 10 through 12 graders. I couldn't wait to be in the other building Because the other building known as main campus at all

For the begining of the year I went to a school called Alameda Jr./Sr. High School by my grandma’s house but, the new house was a 4o minute drive so I had to switch schools. My new school was called Mandalay Middle School, I was a mix of scared and excited to have a fresh start. So on September 27th 2016 I had my first day as a wolverine -Mandalay’s mascot is a wolverine. On just that first day I met some amazing people including a girl named Leah who in fact is still my bestfriend to this day.

The of the new semester I did not know what to expect because building or constructing stuff was never my expertise. Towards the end of fall semester I did contribute to the the play layout more than ever by designing the Corny Collins sign that is currently used in the play Hairspray. I did not know because last semester I was never involved with the construction of anything and I did not know about this new semester. I started off the semester not good because Dr. Sannah caught me not doing work sometimes, but he did not know that I was already done with my work. He wanted students to be more involved in this year play than las semesters and I wanted to contribute more in this play than last semester.

August 24, 2016 is the day I started my senior year. I been waiting for this moment my freshman year of high school. I couldn't wait for this moment to come.The first day of my senior year I went to my homeroom to get scheduled for 2015-2016 year. Then couldnt wait to get my senior I.D so i can go off campus eat. Once i get that senior I.D, I know that i'm officially a senior at Elsik. This was my last year playing football. That mean I had to go out with a bang. I played my last home game at Krump against Hasting. Hasting is the worst football team that I played against. I had to ball out that game and I and i did . That moment was sad for us senior because that was our last pep rally as a football team. When we went to playoffs. We were

During my school year in BYU-Hawaii, I had 3 semesters every year. Each year, 3 semesters would arrange differently that helped me with different situations. It was tiring at my first year at BYU-Hawaii, but I think the short gap created better knowledge and memory of the knowledge from past semester. For example, I studied Education 312 which is a class introduce and teach us how to write lesson plan in one semester, and I took two other education major for my next semester. Those two education classes required the knowledge of making lesson plan. Because the gap between first and second semester is very close, I can easily recall what I have learned in EDU 312 class in order to make lesson plan for my other two education classes.

High school ended, as well as summer. I was on the plane ride back from vacation to start college. I was in the tight and rigid economy section, while my sister, my father’s only princess, was enjoying herself in the luxury of business class. But that wasn’t the issue. I can’t say that I was fueled with excitement starting this new chapter in my life. I mean why would I be, I was on the honor role all of high school, took Ap’s, captain of all sports, manager, president of the student athletic council, I was even an assistant to the principle for large school events, and yet I couldn’t get into the school that I was most interested in, the Grove School of Engineering.

Sophomore and junior year basically felt like two years in one. Just like freshman year, I was the new kid on the block. My dad got sole custody of my brother and I and drove through several states just to get us. I was mad at first and I hated Tishomingo, and all I thought about was being able to move back in with my mom after sophomore year was up. But by the time second semester came around, I was able to make friends who I thought understood me, and I no longer wanted to move. Eventually the year was over and it was Junior year in the blink-of-an-eye. Junior year was my best high school year which included me joining band for the first time, dating the love of my life, and finding out who my true friends were.

During my day, I go to the classes that I always go. As usual, I stay silent and I do my work. Unlike the other classmates who usually talk constantly, I stay quiet. Some of my classmates find it weird that I don't talk much. In one of my honors classes, I feel like a misfit because I feel like I don't fit in with the others. They find me mysterious, almost like a freak. When I disagree with their ideas, I don't say anything because they'll think I'm the bad guy.

Everything is an accurate representation of me as a student except for sophomore year. Sophomore year, my grades dipped do to an unfortunate event that took up lots of my time and focus. During sophomore year my parents were going through with a divorce that was both nasty and prolonged. It took up a lot of my emotional, physical, and mental efforts that year moving my focus from school to my home life. Hearing them argue and yell at each other all the time was incredibly taxing and moving between living with my father and my mother every week was something new. My head simply was not where it needed to be and I often stayed up late at night doing homework and often forgetting to turn in assignments. I spent most of my time away from homes

Sophomore year of high school the required science class was Biology. I was excited because I've always loved science, but terrified because even though I loved it, I wasn't very good at it. I loved doing experiments and hands on but had trouble understanding the science behind it. When the first exam came, I was so anxious. But she was there for us the entire way, she stayed before and after school to answer questions. We would go through the review sheet and talk through what I didn’t understand. She made sure that I not only knew the information but knew why it was the way that it was. Ms. Bredeweg helped me understand the importance of knowledge and my love for science. She is the reason that I so passionately am becoming a nurse.

I attended Taylor Elementary from Kindergarten to the fourth grade, and John F. Kennedy from fifth to sixth grade. Throughout those years I had three best friends; Lilliana Longoria, Tareva Ligas, and Priscilla Reyes. The four of us were inseparable and my childhood wouldn't have been so wonderful without their friendship. After the sixth grade my father and my brother received a wonderful job offer in Colorado. So we packed up our stuff and moved to Rangely, Colorado, a colorful quite town surrounded by the Rocky Mountains and near the Utah border. In Rangely, Colorado I experienced life in the real outdoors from swimming in lakes, sledding in the snow, riding ATV’s through the Rocky Mountains. Life was beautiful. In Rangely I attended Rangely Middle school and that was were I met my 7th grade best friend Kelsey who had a crush on the same boy as me, the gorgeous and popular Game. After Rangely we moved to Edinburg, Illinois and there I attended the Edinburg Community Unit School, a school so small that it had every school grade in one building. In Illinois the weather was beautiful, were we lived at we were not only living next door to my brother, his wife, and kids but we were surrounded by nature itself. For me 8th grade was a blast. Everyone in my class of 30

When people start high school they’re usually so excited. They can’t wait to experience everything that comes with being in high school, I mean who wouldn’t? Everyone says that high school is the best four years of your life. Now that I’m months away from graduating, I can’t say they were my best years but I can say they were my most educational years, of course I wouldn’t say that they weren’t fun because they were. When I say educational, I mean I’ve learned so much about myself and so much about life. I learned what the words family, love, betrayal, law and life meant. All these events changed me, and I’m glad they happened because I wouldn’t have learned all these lessons. My personality hasn’t changed; I’m still a carefree girl,

It was the last day of school, I got up in the morning and got ready for school said goodbye to my mom and Dad and Victor. I ran out the door to the bus stop. When we reached school the hallways were crowded with kids that were ready for summer. For me I was a little sad to be leaving. And spent my 3 years of Junior high here, but most of all it was 8th grade WPJH. I had always looked forward to it everyday and Today was our last show of the year for the class of 2021. We had finished up our show and the rest of the periods flew by so fast before I knew it we were on the bus to go home. I remember looking out the window to see the place I had made new friends and learned so much. I had gotten home and walked in but Victor wasn’t there to greet me, neither was my mom or dad.

Because it was my last one, I was determined to make my senior year my best year of high school. My mom and I talked for weeks in the summertime about how much fun senior year would be- my last first day, assemblies, homecoming, spirit days, football games, prom, Senior Ditch Day, graduation... Before the first quarter had even really begun though, my mother began to lose large amounts of energy. My family and I never noticed. Momma was good at hiding things she considered to be unpleasant. This unhealthy secretion led to my mum losing her hair and eventually her ability to walk. The following night my mother was rushed to the hospital. While she was there we learned that my Mum had contracted thyroid cancer, CMV, in addition to another life-threatening autoimmune disease that attacked her vital organs (my mom called it super-Lupus). This news seemed to kickstart an extended series of unfortunate bad days for my family. My momma went on to spend several weeks in the hospital requiring of her periodic surgeries, blood transfusions, weeks of isolation and radiation treatments, and what seemed like hundreds of syrups and pills each day. Without my mother present, things at home seemed to fall apart. As the oldest, I found it difficult to care for my three younger siblings sufficiently, let alone as adequately as my mum had, while my father spent all day at work. I wondered if this whole experience was some type of horrific joke and every day I prayed that it would end.
