Personal Narrative: High School Home

Through my time growing up in Corona Queens as a kid I had come to realize something, I was beginning to get shorter as time progressed, the odd part was that I was the tallest in my class, standing at 5,10 in the 7th grade I was considered tall for a kid my age, in addition to only being 12 but regardless as I kept on coming home, I only felt as if I'm getting shorter. one day returning from the library and my reading session about the book Nature I was still in shock about what Henry David Thoreau has said about "sucking the marrow of life", and as I was attempting to think of how I can accomplish what he said, I fell and nearly broke my skull. it was then that I realized that what seemed like a footstep to walk into my home was a 10ft fall.

School was exactly how I had imagined it to be while I was in grade school. I had the privilege of having recess, early lunch hours, and most importantly, naptime! The day I started sixth grade, my whole world seem as if it flipped upside down. I was no longer at the top of the “food chain”, school was way more stressful, and I had, in fact, found new talents within myself.

In Middle School, where we were still growing up as adults, we did not like following the rules. I was in 9th grade. That day the bell rang for our next class and me and my friends did not want to go to our next class right away. We waited outside the room for our next class and chilled and talked. Me and my friends were in class all day and we wanted to let go of some energy. We kept talking and if our teacher came, we would go into the class right away. Our school did not like students to hang out in the hallway because they made too much noise. We did not care, we still chilled outside the class. We talked about new shoes and what we were going to do after school. It was so much fun because I had not seen my friends since 8th grade and it was the

With the end of middle school in sight, I have done lots and lots of thinking. I have been thinking about how I got her . I don’t think I would be here today without my grandma. Now, that might seem funny, but it’s true. She was there for me. Whether it was when we were together, or calling me to make sure I was okay after I had a hard day. Unlike some of the people around me she saw me as a kid who just made a mistake when I got suspended. While others saw me as a kid who was only going to fail. She made me feel better about myself during the times that I really didn’t. My middle school teachers also helped me through middle school Mr. Genco taught me that school was a fun place to be at. He taught me that it wasn’t stupid rather an enjoyable

Throughout middle school and the beginning of high school I faced many challenges with my grades. These challenges made me grow and help shape who I am today. In my early teenage years I would view my school work not important. My perspective on priorities were all wrong. As I became older and matured I realized that. I realized school is the most important thing because my future depends on how I do. I realized if I want to go to a good college and have a successful career I have to work hard in school to get there. As high school went by my grades got better and I saw a better version of myself. My grades went from C’s and D’s to A’s and B’s in all my classes. I began to be attentive in class, and be productive and take notes. I did my school

It was a steaming summer day while I was warming up in the in the bullpen. It was summer 2016, and this was my 1st high school baseball game. I was throwing with Grant Talley to warm-up. He was one of the two catchers on our team. After about 15 warm-up pitches, it was time to take the field with my teammates. I had a jittery feeling in my stomach while the coaches were talking to us, before we took the field.

Life is like an ocean. It ebbs and flows. The only certainty is that there isn't any. {except for death & taxes}.

Middle school for me wasn’t that fun because the teachers seem boring. The reason I found it boring because all of my classes from 6th-8th weren’t all fun because I couldn’t listen to music.Sure I had my friends but the assignments were boring or as exciting.The only time I was excited for something was my 7th grade field trip because it was a day without school, we to Medieval Times, we ate, watch a show and not do work for the whole day.I guess my 8th grade field trip but it was at the end of the school year.the last three days of

Throughout my four years of high school I have been apart of many school activities. I have been apart of basketball for one year, volleyball for two years, and tennis for four years. I have also been apart of spanish club for two years. During freshman and sophomore year I fundraised by selling butter braids and cookie dough to many of the members in my community. I also put many hours into working the concessions during the basketball and football games. During the summer I worked at the concessions at the pool. I also helped Mrs. Lonner paint the Concessions stand. After two years I had finally raised enough money to go on trip to Costa Rica with a few of my classmates. During homecoming I'm also apart of all the activities. I have dressed

My elementary and middle school years were excellent. I got good grades, on time to class everyday, never talked back to the teachers. I was the perfect student.

Entering high school, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, but I sure wasn’t mentally prepared for what hit me as soon as the semester started. Specifically, math. I’ve always really loved math, probably because I’ve always been able to get it without much extra work or stress. Man, was that about to change.

The most significant challenge I have faced in my whole three years going on to four years of high school would be these last couple years in making a difference in my education. Trying to juggle being a brother, role model,honor student, and a athlete can be quite difficult. At times I feel pressured on being the older brother, so it becomes a challenge in always trying to be the best role model that I can be. However, I remember a time my grades consequently dropped slightly and my father attended with me for a parent conference, unfortunately he wasn't in the best of moods but he set me straight at the beginning of middle school so i wouldn't be who i am today if it wasn't for my father putting me straight.

Entering high school, is a frightening thing. You meet new friends, have new interests, and be involved in different activities. They tell you everything about high school, the drama, fights, and the those relationships that are fairy tales. Funny story about relationships, you believe that their going to last forever in high school but in reality, they die off like plants with no water. As you know, when I entered as a freshman, I didn’t really pay much attention about anything they told us about high school. I just wanted to have fun, and meet new friends. Throughout freshman year, I started dating and had my first boyfriend. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self not to go through that path. Except having my first boyfriend change me as the person I am

Freshman year in high school was a weird experience for me, just thinking about finally being an official high schooler terrified me. Even through all this the senior girls became friends with me and were extremely nice to me, even when I was too cocky. Sports really helped me grow friendships with people and create a self-pride in myself. My freshman year we were district campions and that was the first time in Burns Flat-Dill City history to make it to regionals. We were in the very last game in regionals and sadly lost out by a ball that was dropped in the outfield. That same year I went to state in track for the very first time. Through all my sports accomplishments I was ready to take on my sophomore year.

It felt like everyone at the school already knew who I was and was friendly with me on the first day, I even remember exactly what outfit I had on and I didn’t even take a picture. I was the only freshman at the school to be on the varsity football and basketball team at Lakeland Senior high school , and actually one of my best friends during the basketball season got moved up from JV to varsity with me so that was something else that was cool to me . Although the first year of high school everyone says is one of the most important years you’ll have , I wish I would’ve had that focus honestly but unfortunately I didn’t , my head was into being popular and cool with everybody , getting all the females , as shy as I was my freshman year a lot of the females wanted my attention ,
