Personal Narrative: My Experience At Oak Ridge High School

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

What have valued in my time in Dekalb High School? I have valued the teachers I have met, to how they show such grace to kids who struggle. I have never been a behavior problem, more of an academic problem,

Events: Today was my first day at Tecumseh High School, it actually start off at Tecumseh Middle School ha. In my defense I typed in Tecumseh High School, and maps didn’t have it right, so I went all the way through town, pasted the real high school only to find out I wasn’t where I needed to be. Finally I made it to the High School and there wasn’t any real problems after that. It was easy to get in and find the office, I was escorted to the weight room where I found out that I was going to be in a strength and conditioning class, I had no idea it was strength and conditioning, I figured it was another physical education class. While in the class I wasn’t really introduced to the class for some reason I felt like that was odd but I was able to watch and figure out how class was ran and what was

I am very concerned where I am attending school, which is at Fossil Ridge High School. Truthfully, Since I have attended Fossil In August 2016 my grades have been slipping, on the other hand when i was at Rocky i was doing a lot better at school than I am now. I’ve tried to have a good relationship with all my teachers and come in for help when I need it, but I feel like I am always left out and not cared for as much as the other students that attend Fossil, At Rocky I felt very comfortable with all of my teachers and had a great relationship with them and felt that they care about me as a student and wanted be to be successful, something I never felt with any of my teachers at Fossil. I have a lot of great friends at Rocky that i grew up

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.

I attended 7th and 8th grade at Batavia Junior High School. That experience was very overwhelming because all the kids in grade schools were now in one school. During the fist six months of junior high was horrible for me. All the friends that I made in grade school separated into junior high clicks and I was forced to make new friends. I remember feeling alone for a while and didn’t fit into a specific group. Whereas my brother had all sorts of friends and seemed to enjoy this new experience. Junior high was also the time where I began to feel different from the other kids and realized that I was gay. I never told anyone how I felt and kept it a secret which only increased my isolation from other people. In 8th grade, I began to get

High School as some would say, is the best four years of your life. So many great opportunities are introduced while one is in high school. Whether it is partaking in a sport, club, or even an after- school activity, there are so many great things that can happen at Anderson High School. Some of our most proudest moments may have happened at Anderson. Whether it was scoring the game winning point or getting a 4.0 or even achieving a goal you never thought that you could. Anderson helped us make our goals reachable. Our teachers, parents and coaches helped push us into making our goals possible. Even on our worst days, they made us believe that anything was possible. They were a constant reminder that nothing comes easy. That we have to want it and work for

Being kind to each and every person you talk to can be challenging, but the impact that you may have on them can be remarkable. School is one of the cruelest places for a pre-teen or teenager. Girls and boys can single you out and laugh at you because you do not look the same. Many children feel as if they are not as good as others.

It was 2047 I was in class full of Freshman's at Fort Osage High School. All of the sudden, we get an announcement from the principal saying “ the school of Fort Osage High School has to go to school year long including June,July and August but you guys get breaks one-week every three months.

All of elementary was a blur. Moving every year did not help either. My family and I moved every year because my father could not find a stable job. I do not remember many names but i do remember the names I was called. I was everything but Thania. Weirdo fatty , cookie , and pizza face are some of the names i remember the most. I was too talkative and often annoyed many people , including my teachers. People did not know how to treat such a social child.

The reason that I chose to go to Ridgecrest Elementary School is that it offers a full time gifted program. But for that I had to survive a very long bus ride, about forty-five minutes, one-way. In the beginning of the school year, the bus always got there late. It would get stuck in traffic or some kid wasn't on the bus and we had to wait for them. Sometimes the air conditioning

The was a time when people used to play outside and talk to each other. There was time when my worries didn’t exist. Life was like a cool breeze. It only took a couple of years to ruin that innocent feeling I was born with. After years and years of constant torture, homework, and bullying, I started school at Lester Middle School, Okinawa Japan. I was still a bit innocent in the mind. I was chubby when I first went to middle school, yet I didn’t get teased for it. I was happy until they started piling a bunch of work onto me. I am free bird and the last thing I want is 3 full hours of work.7th grade was when I got the real action. A boy asked me out and he wouldn’t take no for an answer. Every time I rejected him he would just come back. At

It was my chance to start over. A new life. I could leave it all behind or so, I thought…

In the Spring of 2015 all seniors were all excited and happy for all their activities they had coming up. Friday, May 15, 2015, at Americus-Sumter High School all the seniors had planned to do a prank at our very last pep rally/Cinco De Mayo program at the school. So we all got in one big group text message and had everything all planned out to the exact time and everything. Many then left the school piece by piece to get lots of water balloons, silly string, party poppers, and party confetti. As the day went by we had to struggle to get the water balloons filled with water and had to find places to hide them from the janitors and underclassmen. In the process of trying to find hiding places we came upon abandoned cooler so we started stashing the water balloons in the cooler until it was time for the big show down. After we got half of the balloons filled up many decided they wanted to go ahead and throw a few water balloons and spray silly string in the halls. We were hyped, excited, and ready for the final show down at the end of the day.

“Kennedy! Kennedy! Kennedy!” I could feel my stomach do a flip inside me as I walked up the steps of the Prairie Grove High School cafeteria to the stage area. All my friends were cheering for me from their seats as I took my seat and waited for the principal to make the announcement that I would be signing for a ten thousand dollar rodeo scholarship to Pratt, Kansas. I felt my hand shake as I quickly jotted down my name, and I could hear everyone clapping for my achievements.
