Personal Narrative-It's Time To Fall In High School

My transition into high school was as easy as taking a breath. I had always found school quiet easy and I never had to put much effort into getting promising grades. Before high school I had my whole life figured out, or at least I thought I did. I had planned that I would attend a law school or major in English. After a while of being in high school I started to realize many things. My parents did not have the financial stability to send me to a law school, I was not as smart as all the other kids, little by little I began struggling with a negative mentality about myself and my future. I slowly let go of my dream of becoming a lawyer and decided to join the Health Careers Academy. Soon enough, I began to have a deep interest in the medical field but then again I continued to have the same question; how can I afford going to a medical school? I did not know much about college or what it took to get into college. I assumed I just had to have a pretty transcript and that was all it took. My self confidence began to lower as I saw how other students cruised through their high school years so effortlessly. I never wanted to ask for help because I did not want to seem “dumb”. I would bite my tongue and hold in all the unanswered questions I had. My junior year, I was having a very difficult time. I had a tight schedule which consisted of almost all AP or honors courses. I slowly began to give up because I did not believe that I could do it. I let my grades slip failing almost

Fall is a time of change. The leaves change from green to brilliant shades of brown, red and yellow. The seasons begin to change from the dog days of summer to the cool stillness of winter. Fall is my favorite time of the year. When asked to choose just one chapter from A Sand County Almanac, my first idea was to look in the section about the fall.

My favorite part about it is that I get to stay up late and do what I want. I’m also excited for next year because of these two reasons: Legos and pokemon cards. Every new years, new legos come out, and every year they get better and better. My second reason is that new pokemon cards are coming out and I love pokemon cards.

My parents decided to let me finish the rest of the school year which gave me only a semester to say goodbye. The rest of the school year flashed by faster than I expected. All the stress and pressure from schoolwork ended, and summer vacation started. I had 77 days to plan and worry about what was to come.

This is a time where our lives can be stress free for a couple months and we can have fun whether it’s going to summer camp or going to the beach. Knowing that we get a break from all the homework and grades is really comforting during the school year when the work is overwhelming. This is not something that students who go to year round schools experience. Instead, what year-round schooling offers are smaller, more spread out breaks throughout the year. Personally, this doesn't give students anything to look forward to during the year other than shorter, less enjoyable breaks which is why I don’t agree with year-round schooling. Many

After sitting at the same desk for three years, I figured I was beyond seeing anything new. I was wrong. After that third year I saw a lot more than I thought I would. I went up to high school and everything was so much different. The grades were harder, the assignments were harder and the teachers were harder.

During autumn, it is time to prepare the stuffs that are protecting against the cold because a tough season is coming. It likes when there is a test or quiz coming, I have to prepare and study for it.

Spring is a time of renewal, where everything comes to life, summer is where everything is in full bloom and love is in the air. Lastly, fall is when things start to die out.

As a student, after fall break, the one thing on my mind is winter break. For me, winter break is full of family, holiday parties, and happiness. It is a great time to relax and catch up on sleep, hang out with friends and family, and celebrate Christmas and the New Year. Going into winter break I look forward to family traditions and the happy feeling of the holidays.

Summer is my favorite time of the year, but this year It felt like summer was two minutes long. It was most likely because of all the fun I was having playing baseball and hanging out with friends and family. The highlight of my summer was my trip to Puerto Rico. It was beautiful, the smell of the trees, the weather, and the beaches.

When that year ended and I was transitioning to high school, Mr. Joyner made a decision to move me, Ja’quez, and Emmaus Holder up to the high school team known as HYPE. I was unsure of myself at first, I didn’t think I could or would make it on the varsity team of the organization. But that year, I saw a great improvement in myself. I got straight A’s that school year. I started becoming a better leader in the organization. That year we went undefeated and won the NC Step Show Championship, the Battle of the Border championship, and we even won the CIAA step show in the high school division. At one point, I was told I was going to be the next captain of HYPE. But, it was given fairly to my Immanuel Thomas and he is doing a very good job and has really taken up the mantle as captain. In the organization, I am know as “Grit” because of my impressive grit face. It originated from the first CIAA the organization ever went to and I was told I needed a new and

So, before you are completely trapped inside because of the cold winter weather, make sure you take some time to get outside and enjoy some of these amazing fall activities. The brisk weather only adds to the thrill of completing these activities with your friends or family.

Another reason, I enjoy summer the most of all season is the beginning of my favorite sport, Football. We begin practicing in August, so I hang out with my friends almost everyday, for a few hours throughout the month of August. I really enjoy playing with my friends.

Although it is a passage of time through the seasons, it could also be a passage of time throughout life, like I mentioned previously. Whenever we start as a baby, that is like spring. As we start aging, we also start dying, which is like fall.

My favorite season of the year is summer because of the warm weather, the school vacation, and the endless fun. I really enjoy the warm weather because it’s the perfect atmosphere to do outdoor activities. My favorite part about summer has to be the fact that school is closed for two months. During summer, you’re free to do whatever you want, not worrying about curfew or waking up early for school. Summer time is a great time to relax with friends and family by soaking up the sun at a beach or simply having dinner together.
