Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Attending High School

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.

Going through high school the days were all the same, except for game days. There was just something different about the culture of the school. You could almost feel the excitement in the air. Every “Good luck tonight,” that was received made it feel like the whole school was rooting for me. This was my senior year and tonight was an especially big game. The game that night would decide if we made playoffs and if I could step on the court as a Hawk again.

Second, La Contantia was the Junior High school I attended. Middle School was a fight to get use of environment. Everything was new; kids, teachers, attitudes, classes, and rules. The kids were way more mature, than I was at the time. I was exposed to believes and other deeper meanings to life. Since I was young, all these new realities, caused me to lose focus on my educational goals.

My palms were sweating, my heart was racing, I had no idea what to expect or who I was going to meet. I was never the type of girl to embrace new situations, I hated change and I wasn’t very good with meeting new people. I figured once I got to high school it would be my chance to start all over, turn the page in my book of life, and flip over a new leaf. I wanted to finally be the girl that fit in with everyone. I had imagined myself going to parties with big groups of my new friends, having sleepovers and doing all of the things cool high school kids normally do. I was certain that my high school career would be just like one of those really corny teen movies and I would live happily ever after with the homecoming crown and the boy of my

t's very sad to this school year coming to a end... Yes, I would love to be in the high school with my high schooler friends but i'm going to miss walking in the small little hallway everyday i'm going to miss my teachers more than anything. My teachers are what taught me everything that leads up to high school. Sometimes they can be very strict but they just want us to get better and be a better person ! Some of the kids in teh 6-8 hallway can be a little bit annoying since they have not matured all the way yet. I'm not saying that 8th graders are all the way machured but they are pretty close.

I’ve made it through 6th and 7th grade! Now it is time for 8th grade, the last year of middle school! Next year is High School! I am not that ready to start High School but I am pretty excited, however I am really sad that I am leaving Gulf Coast Academy. High School is going to start a whole new chapter in my life…

The first day of school was definitely overwhelming. From opening lockers to going to classes, I was pretty stressed. After a while though, I got pretty used to it, and I always had new friends along the way to help. I especially loved all of the new classes like Home and Careers and Technology. But most of all, I loved all of the new teachers.

From the first ever day of Fort Hamilton High School to my senior year, I had changed so much. In the beginning, I was a nervous freshman with no friends and a horrible haircut, but now drama club became my life where I fit in a group crowded with fun broadway lovers, yet I still have a horrible haircut. Going from one year where I was very shy and Regents felt like that one awful friend that I somehow automatic befriended with to a year fill with stresses over college application mixed with comfort thanks to the beloving drama club. The school had shaped me into a person I wouldn't expect to become today and also impacted what I want to do in the future.

My favorite class, without a doubt, was Honors Biology. The students were so engaged in their work and it was effortless to teach them. I had plenty of fun teaching all of my classes, but this group was especially admirable.

Out of all the classes in middle school, science was probably the hardest. For some reason I couldn’t wrap my brain around all the concepts as well as I could math. But even then, I understood what I was doing. I put in the needed effort to do well, but I never had to go above. Math and science

In 2014, I was a freshman at Hope high school, I was cool with most people. I loved to learn new things such as math and history,but I had different opinions about how I felt about everyone. I disliked my classmates just the thought of talking and making new friends made me not like school, I grew up with it as school goes by. I finally made new friends and also I was an A’s and B’s student. Most importantly I came to school almost everyday and came on time.Coming to class and learn has been one of my favorite thing to do.

Going into high school will be very emotional I will be excited, nervous, scared, and sad because I am leaving VPA. I have made many friends like my ranch buddy, and learned many things in my 8 years of being here. This school has taught me many things like leadership, friendship, and good character. Although I have faced many challenges at vpa I have found a way to work through them and learn something along the way.

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

My least favorite class of the day was Spanish II. The teacher is new and he did not seem to know how to run the classroom. There were also a lot of upperclassman that were not very respectful with him and the freshman. However, I am sure as time goes on everyone will learn to respect one another. Additionally, I did not have a single friend in that class. The benefit from that though is maybe I will make new

The only year in elementary school I enjoyed was fifth grade. This school year was full of encouragement and kindness from my teachers. Their constant motivation and kind words gave me the confidence to improve my grades in school and interact more with my classmates. After fifth grade, my entire class and I left our old school, and relocated to the middle school. This change was not the easiest for me either. While elementary school was a tame and controlled environment, middle school gave students more freedom and was less strict on students.
