Personal Narrative: Catonsville High School

My mother’s irate words echoed deep in my heart for years as I tried to understand the simple words she would constantly repeat to me, “When will you ever change?” As a child, I was well known for being that foolish kid who would be put in the back of the class with his seat facing the wall. Eyes facing a blank white wall, fingernails tapping the desk, head down, and the smell of exasperation in the air. I was the type of boy who would sprint through the hallways cackling, furthermore resulting in repeatedly get scowled at by teachers for my obscene and inordinate behavior. In hindsight, I realized Freshman year after pulling the fire alarm that my behavior needed to have a parameter and come to a complete termination. Consequently, I spent the entire Summer in my room contemplating my life and my decisions.

It was a typical normal day during sophomore year as I and Kevin were normally having a conversation in the hallways of Neuqua Valley High School during a five minute passing period after class. After walking from the d-wing to the b-wing we just happened to look down at the ground and for a moment we were shocked of what we had found and couldn’t believe our eyes there were three one hundred dollar bills just lying there for the taking so I picked it up and looked at it and we took it for our taking because who wouldn’t like to find three hundred dollars I looked at kevin and said “ We need to get to class, but let’s meet up after school and split the money”. I held on to the money for the time being or at least after class. We met after class

Eisenhower High School has shaped me into the women that I am today. At first, the transfer from private to public middle school was difficult. I did not know what to expect from public schooling. Immediately, I was met with friendly faces and extraordinary teachers. When the time came for me to decide if I would attend a private high school or Eisenhower High School I didn’t hesitate on my decision. Since my first day walking through the newly renovated Eisenhower halls, I knew I had found my home for the next four years.

When I started Unity High School I felt a little nervous because I didn't knew nobody in the school. In the begging of the first class I was quit and I didn´t talk to noone. I also didn't knew nobody in the class so I could tell them if they could help me on the problem that I need help. I was shy to talk to the teachers and and answer question or ask them for help when I needed help. During lunch time I just knew one person that came from my middle school. So I just hand out with him most the time. But, then weeks and months past I began to have more friends and I was not shy or nervous to ask for help in class. I wanted to join the soccer team of the school but I was to nervous to do it. But, now I know that I´m going to join the soccer team

Clear Lake High School, I read that from my window car, the dance class is waiting for me. I roll my eyes, yes, it is those days when the only thing that you would lean at the pillow and look at the wall thinking and how your future is going. I heard my mom's music, halleluiah, my mom has goods likes at the music. I stared to mutter the lyrics when it came to my mind. "I find a new reason for me, to changes who I used to be". Finally, the red-light changes to green and my mom left me at the mean door of the place that is close to the martyrdom. I stared to walk across the hallways. Looking at al the trophies that my school has. I had to admit how cool my school is.

Overall, I truly believe that my high did a fantastic job on preparing me for my college education. I still go back to visit my teachers to seek advice, and to chat with them because they all had a great impact on my life. The school did such a great job with the material been stronger and more challenge, along with the wonderful teachers who always took the time to go the extra mile and finally to show and install in me how much respect means for college and my future. John Johnson says it best someone has to be creative and persistent to succeed, and I believe Peninsula Catholic is doing just

I have strong pride for the montbello community and my school because they have shaped the person I am today. I learned how to be persistent with Coach Nicki and Larmont during basketball practice. I developed leadership skills from my national honor society and student council adviser. I discovered friendships that I would not have found at any other DPS school. The Staff at DCISM have pushed me in unimaginable ways that have strengthened my characteristics. Although I love Montbello, it wasn’t always like that. When I first filled out the school choice form I wanted to go to a traditional High School and DCISM wasn’t. For the first three years of my high school career, I felt the lack of school spirit and I was frustrated with the separation

Attending such a great school like Cathedral it got me out of so many situations I'm now thankful I got out of. Cathedral is about 1000 student small private school mainly consisting of white upper-class rich kids. Being African-American it was hard at first but I soon gained the respect for most of my peers. Once they saw me go out on the field and perform they start associating with me and treating me like everyone else. I sometimes struggle going to Cathedral at first. The workload there was like nothing I've ever experienced. We had seven classes a day every day with no block schedule with district grading scale. Starting the day at Cathedral, we started at 7:50 and we didn't get out until 3:25. My first year cathedral was inevitably my worst year there. I think I finish the year with a 2.1 GPA. Working hard sophomore through senior year I ended up having a cumulative of a 2.9

Change, for me has always been quite a scary and difficult concept. I want constants. I want to feel comfortable, and I am too stubborn to try new things. Though undesired, change is inevitable and I know life must move forward; so here I am, a shy, insecure, seventh grader moving forward onto my first day of junior high. I knew this was going to be terrifying simply by the size of the school; all four foot nine inches of me stood paralyzed at the main entrance of Poston Junior High. Not knowing who I would have in my classes or who I would sit with at lunch had to be the worst part. As I walked into my third hour, which was choir, I realized I knew nobody; sheer terror flushed over my face as I peered around looking for the friendliest face

I have always been in love with the game of softball. I love all the competition and the thought of working at it brings joy to my heart. I could always go to the field to get my mind off things and just focus. But in May of 2015 my life changed and I had a whole new mind set on everything.

Throughout the seventeen years that I’ve been alive I have witnessed all the sacrifices my parents have gone through ensuring I have a better future than they did. I come from immigrant parents that weren’t fortunate enough to continue studying. I myself was brought into the country when I was two years old so I could build a different path than the one my parents had to take due to financial reasons. Short after, my sister was born my mom got remarkably ill with Diabetes. I would watch in terror as my mother would lay in bed barely able to move. I held her hand, wiped her forehead, with a cool wet towel, and longed she would get all better. Being the oldest in the

Throughout my education (so far) I have gone to this school, St. Christopher. I entered this school in kindergarten (I went to St. Benedict for preschool) and throughout those years I grew attached to it making me feel as if it was my second home. And just like my own home it has made me feel comfortable enough to be myself. Additionally I have made friends here, some may have left to go to another school or stayed with me across the years but nonetheless I am sure I will not forget them. Although as friends and classmates we have gotten into disagreements. However our school has taught us how to solve these disagreements by talking and negotiating which is very important not only in school but also

I'm an immature rambling child at heart and I will most likely always be that way. Immaturity can sometimes be seen as a bad characteristic in people, but I find that to be absolutely false. I love being silly and weird because that's who I am and I don't plan on changing that aspect of myself just because i'm becoming an adult and moving on with my life. I made so many significant realizations during my years of high school. These realizations changed my outlook on life and my morals starting becoming more clear to me. I slowly started to see things differently for what they truly are. Im not saying Im some scholarly intellectual, but I am saying I'm not ignorant. My first realization was nearing the end of my sophomore year at Ravenwood High School.

Anderson High School has taught me a lot of things since attending such as; priorities, respect, and open mindedness. My Freshman year english teacher showed me how to respect and be patient with others. Although AHS needs some improvements, it’s still a great school with great staff members and some hard working teachers. Since attending AHS I’ve become more confident in more focused on my future and what I want for myself, I love to prove the people who said I wouldn’t graduate wrong. Here at Anderson High School the teachers are encouraging, and give great words of wisdom and I am thankful to have to the teachers I do have. I get along with all my teachers, we all have that special teacher/student bond and connect on

Upon entering high school, I feel like I have an advantage over students from other schools. I feel this way because of the amazing job North Cape has done to prepare me. The teachers have had a major role in shaping who I have become. They taught me to be responsible, respectful, and to enjoy a small school. Managing time was an important part in
