Personal Narrative: My Experience At Sprague High School

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.

When I lived in North Carolina in 2012, I lived in a small school within a tight nit community. From day one I felt as though I didn’t belong, and the ones who made me feel most out of place were my teachers. My teachers told me to leave and go back to Maryland because if i stay I would fail. I couldn’t believe teachers would say that I was so shocked. My teachers rarely attempted to help me with my work as if I was unteachable because I didn’t learn as fast as everyone else.

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

My eyes repeatedly peered to the stands which had a crowd of at least four hundred students eagerly waiting as we were warming up. Observing the crowd I noticed the left side of the field was full of students in orange Parkview High School shirts while to my right students were in purple Brookwood High School shirts. It was the Lacrosse Region Championships between Parkview, the school I played for, and, Brookwood High School. Both of our schools were ranked top ten for biggest rivalries, we knew it would be a fight to win the most significant game for us.

It just made things easier for the bullies and things worse for me. Louis and I remained in Wildcats East. I was afraid and sometimes I never wanted to go back. I thought the bullying would have stopped. Now that I am not in school anymore, I feel safer, not threatened or bullied by anyone much anymore. Pretty sad I tell you how school life had to turn out the way it did.

Our family lived in wheaton I went to highschool there it was called wheaton high school. Although I was really good at football it was not my favorite sport I loved baseball and track I ran the 100 and 220 yard sprints also I ran low and high hurdles,the long jump and not to mention I was a 4 time sprint champion.In football at the highschool I scored 75 touvhdown and kicked 82 extra. I did not want to go to college because they did not offer college scholarships red father said “he was set on my going.” One of my neighbors convinced me to go to the university of Illinois. In my first game playing on the varsity team I scored 3 touchdowns my longest one was 65 yards all the people that watched me play said I had great speed dodging and change

While attending Judson High School in the beginning of my senior year, our advisory teacher Mrs. Evans

My four years at Cardozo High school have been more negative than positive. Most times of high school I felt like I didn't have people who had my back. I felt like people attacked me for no apparent reason like for an example I have been cussed out, threatened, betrayed, ignored and taken advantage of. Freshman , Sophomore, Junior and Senior year was times that a lot of stuff happened to me that changed my perspective on peopleSo as a result, I didn't really enjoy high school all that much. Every day I attended Cardozo it caused so much stress and changed me in ways that I just don’t want to be bothered with people and not want to trust people anymore.

In the 8th grade there were two teacher that gave me a good experience at Stanford Middle School. This time it wasn’t math it was english. My teacher name was Mrs.Rooney. She made up slangs and songs. I remembered one time we even acted out one of shakespeare's plays. It helped me understand it better than just reading it. We had debates about topics so we could understand it better. We read a book and we answer questions on it every few chapters. It actually made me read the book when I didn’t want to. She made me want to do a lot of things I never thought of doing. Another teacher was Mr. Faulkner he taught science. Even though the class was not easy he prepared us for high school. We did research papers. When we presented power points we

Since entering Hingham High School, I have developed into a leader equipped with skills that allow me to take roles in improving the community. My junior year, I became a Student Council fundraising committee head, where I was first introduced to taking initiative on a large scale and utilizing organizational skills to bring the school together. A noteworthy example of my leadership skills occurred when I, along with my fellow committee heads, were tasked with organizing the Hingham High lip sync. Initially, we worried that the event may be canceled as it had been the prior year when Student Council failed to sell tickets and assemble a team of teacher chaperones. Many members of the student body expressed their disappointment with previous

One of the worst choices I made was last year at the Burley High School. Last year I did not go to school much, I missed too many days and hardly ever handed in my homework. I was later signed out of school for the last two months of school. The best choices I made this year was come back to school and get a job. Nothing has really changed, but I know now that I will be getting money and will be getting better help from the teachers, being bored at my house is not going to be a problem. I am going to keep myself busy throughout the whole day. My family is also not going to be upset with me, they are going to be proud of me. The choice that I will make right now is that I will continue to go to school, I will not miss a lot of days in school.

Decisions that do not seem so transformative in hindsight turn out to be life changing. As I near graduation, I realized how instrumental Windham High School has been in my evolution from a timid freshman who was anxious of unfamiliar people and situations to a more courageous person excited to meet new people and challenges.

All in all, I feel like my experience at Hopkins County Central High School was a success. I eventually revisited my earlier question of “Are you sure this is what you want to do?” and I can truly answer this with a “Yes”. I feel that teaching is for me, although I know that High School would not be my first choice of path. As I am pursuing more the Middle School age, but by no means would I turn down a chance to tackle the challenge of a High School classroom

My time in High School was made difficult from the constant strife and conflict between my parents. This made my home an unstable environment not fitted for learning or growing as an individual. As I got older and closer to graduating High-School, I began to find my own voice with the help of my mentor Rahn Fleming, which occurred at the end of my junior year. As a result, I came in control of my life and the constant feuding started to die down. No longer did I have to worry about the next scheduled court date, or the next time I would come home wondering what may await. I felt like I was always walking on broken glass for the longest of time throughout my life, until I began to voice myself and what I wanted. My parents came to realize this

Innumerable times, throughout my schooling experience, I like many others was asked variations of the same question: “What do you want to do with your life?” And as far as I can remember, my answer has always differed immensely. I know for many, like my mum for example, who’s most rewarding time in life has been while parenting. Or others, such as my pastor in his eighties believes his early years in the military are what shaped him into the man he is today. Personally though, I consider my high school experience as my most valuable so far. And more specifically my two-year study of Senior English at Browns Plains High School. No other subject as managed to psychologically challenge me as much as authority English by delving into such diverse
