Personal Narrative: My Day At Americus-Sumter High School

Everyone was excited to be going to Dorney Park on August 30th. We had to bring money for food and swim suits for the wild water kingdom. It was an hour and a half bus ride. On the bus we did challenges. Someone brought 4 bags of hot Cheetos so we got in to 4 teams of 2 and each team got a bag a Cheetos. These Cheetos were in the big bag and they were the puffs. We had to eat the whole bag before 5 minutes. Our hand were bright red. Tiara and I were on the same team. When five minutes was up my team lost and Asia and Danielle won. After that I took a short peaceful nap and when I woke up we were ten minutes away.

Cannery Row is a town located in Monterey, California. Despite being small, dirty and crowded, it is a well functioned town and is home to people from different walks of life. In the novel’s prologue, John Steinbeck wrote the following: “Its inhabitants are, as one man once said, ‘whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches’ by which he meant Everybody” and “[have] the man looked through another peephole he might have said: ‘Saints and angels and martyrs and holy men,’ and he would have meant the same thing” (Steinbeck 1). He basically comments that the difference in viewpoints given the same event results from the power of perspective and duality observed in people. One might see Cannery Row as a low-down place while the others might see Cannery Row as a lively, vigorous town. One would see a character’s actions disputable while the others would see their behaviors admirable. The viewpoints of readers and the way characters behave at various times explain the fact that Cannery Row and its inhabitants possess qualities crossing good and evil.

I go to Mobridge-Pollock Middle School. We have a big lunch room with huge long tables going north to south. The tables have black chairs going on both sides. I will explain the west half of the room. You get your food on the east half then you sit down at your your table. The 8th graders eat with the 6th graders that sit on the east side, we sit on the west side and take up three tables. Usalley the boys and girls sit apart at two diffrent tables. So, when you are sitting down and facing west, the bathrooms and the water fountian are on the left side. On the rigth side their is a hallway leaving the room and the ala carte. Strait ahaid their are the gyms doors on both sides. Directly ahaid their is awards cabinate full of sport

Through my years at Lowell High School, I have learned not to give up so easily and that everything is going to get better. Lowell is a very competitive school filled with smart children who want to become successful. When I first got accepted into the school, I was very happy and very surprised because everyone that got accepted from my middle school were valedictorians except for me. My first two years at Lowell were stressful. It seemed as if there is never enough time to finish homework or projects. I didn’t get the grades I wanted so my parents urged me to transfer schools and for a while I thought about transferring and how much it would make my life easier but I wanted to stay. My parents never pressured me into getting good grades but

Thinking back through my time at Dekalb High School, I sit back in awe wondering how I made it this far. I sit back and wonder and remember the good memories, bad memories, and the unforgettable people I have met. Its crazy to think I made it this far. Its awesome to think how I’ve changed as a person from a immature freshman, to a trying finding myself as sophmore, to being a Junior and getting with the program, and now a Senior getting ready to graduate. I truly have learned life lessons, and truly gained accomplishments in my time here.

Throughout my time at Western Guilford High School, I have spent a large amount of time working hard to achieve the best grades that I possibly could, and I believe my hard work in school has paid off from being accepting into the North Carolina State University College of Engineering. However I was taught at a young age that grades alone do not tell much about my character, so I began regularly volunteering and improving my leadership skills. For the past three summers, I have dedicated atleast three weeks of each summer to building my character at the summer camps of Peeler and Leonard Recreation Centers, as part of the city of Greensboro's Counselor in Training Program. My responsibilities were to lead certain camp activities, to ensure

We all had to be at the school by three in the morning. Everyone had to get their luggage and marching uniform checked before going to the bus. After a photo shoot, we all scrambled on to the bus. After the bus driver told us the rules, the bus started up and began leaving the school.

When I first stood at the bottom of the B-building stairs on August 19, 2013, almost every sixth grader was anxious. We were all waiting for the three-chime bell, and when it did ring, we all stampeded up the stairs like a herd of elephants. But I don’t think that it had ever come to me or any of my peers that change would hit every student, including myself at fifty miles per hour and as loudly as the sound of our feet running up the stairs.

In 2014 I began attending Chase High School. I would always joke about how I would be the one to get lost and hide in a locker until three o’clock but when the first day rolled around I wasn’t nervous because I knew most of the seniors and I was on the volleyball team. I loved my freshmen schedule, I had classes with all of my friends, I liked most of my teachers and best of all I had first lunch. Volleyball season was starting off decent, we hadn’t won any games but we were having fun and I was a starter. After about three games into the season the JV team was practicing one day in the AUX gym and that is when my volleyball season took a turn for the worst. We were practicing our hitting lines and it was my turn to hit, the setter set me up but they pushed the ball too far back and

I went to the PTA/Carnival meeting at Johnson Street. We began our night in the gym and we had a PTA meeting. The principal had a power point presentation about what the school is going to do this year. They had goals pointed out for the students. Also during this PTA meeting the principal gave out an award for the best teacher of the month. I thought that was a brilliant idea, because now the teachers have something to strive for. After we had the PTA meeting in the gym then all of the parents and children were split up into grades. They had a parent room and then a room for the children. I didn’t go into the parent room but I was in the kid room. We just drew a Lima bean monster. I really didn’t think that was a lot of fun for the children

I am an eighteen-year-old senior at Sumter Central High School. I am from a small community called Pine Grove. I am the youngest of three girls. My parents are Diane and Tony Jones. I come from a loving and supporting household. My family supports me in all of my decisions. My family is my support system. If no one else believes in me, I know my they do. They give me the motivation to do my best in every aspect of life.

Reflecting on these past few years I have experienced here at Sam Houston high school are very amazing, they ensure me that I will have an amazing successful future once I graduate from here soon. Attending this school has allowed me to grow as person mentally and academically. The teachers here always expect us to perform to best of our abilities in and outside of class.

All of us are furious and all of the students including me go have a meeting at my house, we all agree on that we should protest on not having school in the summer. The next day at school, we have a riot outside of the school and all of us are protesting right now. The riot causes us not to have school for the next week. When we came back to school, everything is calming down and everybody is just getting over that the fact that we are going to have school all year long. At school we get a announcement on the intercom that says all student please report to the gymnasium.

Anxiety disorders are more frequently diagnosed during adolescence and childhood years. Studies looking into childhood disorders have displayed an outstanding level of comorbidity among other types of disorders including depression and alcohol addictions. Very little knowledge is known about the study of anxiety disorders from childhood to adolescence and throughout life. Childhood anxiety disorders have received little to no attention, until 2004 when longitudinal studies explored the symptoms of anxiety rather than the diagnoses itself. The goal of this research is to explore the long-lasting effects of anxiety throughout life, other than just childhood and adolescence years.

Although I would not have considered myself a leader when I entered Arlington High School, I can safely say that the past four years have changed me into quite the opposite. As I gained confidence in my abilities to lead and make a difference throughout high school, I began to take more initiative of my impact on the community by running for leadership positions and tutoring.
