It was the first day of school at Brooklyn High school and at some ungodly hour, my cold-blooded step brother,Alex,came pounding on my door, saying,”Gracie, wake up, it’s time for school and my room isn’t clean!!” It was so early, even the taxi drivers were sleeping. My real name is Grayson Swift, but he likes to call me Gracie, especially in front of other people. As I went back to my closet of a room, I realized I had no nice clothes to wear. All I had was a couple pairs of hand-me-down jeans, old tee-shirts, an ugly sweater, and the clothes I had from my Mom and Dad. Those were a black long-sleeve T-shirt of the Miami Heats, a pair of white shorts, and a hoodie. I decided on these. As I got downstairs, I could already hear Alex already …show more content…
“Okay honey, we’ll fix it,” My Aunt cooed to him. “Would you like chocolate chip pancakes?” My Uncle asked. “What do you think,” Alex said, annoyed, “Don't you know anything about me?” As I came downstairs, my mom pointed to the ruined pancakes on the floor and said, “That’s your meal,” They were extremely soggy. As I made my way to school, I could sense Alex and his gang behind me. I looked back and saw them, sniggering on their Iphone 7s, probably sending pictures of me to their friends. The came up and enclosed me in a circle, as the others neared to watch. Alex walked up to me with that look that he is going to say something dumb about me. He did say,”Look at Gracie, all spiffied up for school.” He received laughs from his crowd. Before I could stop myself, I said “Shut up Alexa.” Did I mention that he is a senior and is a varsity wrestler and football player? He grabbed my collar and said, “What did you say to me” He pulled me in the air as if I was a doll and waited for a …show more content…
Mr.Jones ,our science teacher, dumps the information down so much my dog could understand it. While I am waiting for this class to end, I might as well tell you what happened to my parents. A long time ago, my parents were coming to pick me up from fourth grade. I was waiting outside and when no one came, I went inside to go tell someone, I could see the look on their faces. Complete disbelief and sorrow. I guess that was the look I gave when they told me the news. The police informed me that a drunk driver was on the wrong side of the road and hit my parents head on. They died upon impact. I had to live in a foster home for 6 months until my Aunt and Uncle in New York. Wait, I that was the bell, gotta
My life flipped for the better once I left the 8th grade, it was finally summer time and I was ready for it. But deep down I knew once summer was over high school here I come. I won't even lie, I was terrified to start as a freshman in high school. All of the rumors that I heard with baby freshman day, and all the stuff they do to freshmens on the first day of school. To be honest I was really nervous, instead of a couple butterflies in my stomach I had the whole family flying around. But once the first day of high school came up all those rumors that everyone was telling me was actually a lie. High school wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. As my freshman year went on a lot of doors opened up for me, there were sports, clubs, new people to me, everything you could possible think of. I didn't really get into sports as much as all of my friends, I was more into video games and playing outside in the woods just adventuring finding old vintage things and old buildings and all of the beautiful views. My freshman year wasn't really too special, I was too busy figuring out what everything was and where everything was located at. Then my sophomore year came along this is where I started to get the foundation of high school and blend in. everything kinda went downhill I made good grades don't get wrong, it's just I never showed up which I regret miserably. Once I got to my junior year everything is still constantly changing, a lot more people know of me. I was never
“That was the first time I wrestled him,” Miller said. “I beat the snot out of him, really bad. He was shocked. Afterward he was freaking out. He was like, ‘That’s the worst I’ve ever been beat.’”
Being in my third year of Bronx River high school I’ve had the opportunity to be apart of PGC, Peer Group Connection. Our main goal in the organization is to help new freshmen in our school to feel comfortable and safe to open up about any problems going on in school or at home. Recently in the Bronx, there has been a tragic stabbing at a local high school called “Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation”. As a result “Matthew McCree and 16 year old Ariane Laboy were stabbed allegedly at the hands of 18-year-old classmate Abel Cedeno”. Myself and other PGC member facilitated group circle within 45 minutes discussing incidents of violence, both locally and across the country while asking essential questions on how we as students can help
This year, 2016 and 2017, was my first time at Early College High School. I was very worried and scared at the beginning of the year, but now, I am more comfortable at this school. From re-dos to essays, I have learned a lot this year from my English class. There are many things that I will forget, however, there are also memories and actions I will keep. Lastly, there is advice that I will provide for the upcoming sophomores.
Despite the fact that I was too young to remember anything that I occurred on that day, going to Stuyvesant High School, I’ve heard many personal stories from alumnus and teachers. Every year on September 11th, our school would have a moment of silence for the people that suffered in this tragic incident, for the innocent people in the building, for the courageous people who tried to help out. In our school newspaper, “The Spectator”, there was this article describing the franticness and the anxiety that the student and faculty felt that day. I’ve imagined myself in this situation and I often don’t know how I would’ve reacted. There is always this sense of unsettling feeling inside of me whenever I think of it. I want to volunteer at the 9/11

I had never been in Forensics until my first year at Quinter High School; I actually knew nothing about it. Everyone said that it was for nerds and geeks. My first day in the class was pretty weird. I didn’t know any of the kids and the games they were playing were loud and hyper. I’m not usually the type for that kind of stuff so it was pretty annoying. I didn’t like the class too much, the walls were pink and covered in plaques and trophies. Little did I know, that I would soon be helping add to that wall.
My days at Hudson High School have been utterly normal; filled with chemistry labs, AP classes, and long essays. Though classes are hard and days are long, I do not feel the extreme stress of my studies as much as my fellow peers. Instead, I get my daily dose of stress from the girls’ bathroom.
“Twweeeeetttt!” the whistle blow furiously and we were off. There was a quick glance into eachothers eyes and just 27 seconds later somebody was slugging off the mat in tears and let me just say it wasn't me. Although it was a tough match for him, I believe that he, along with his friends, had gained a new level of respect for me that day and will keep that for the rest of your life's.
Back within seventh grade towards the start of the school year I was put into a course called "Advanced Art" and I sat with a friend. My friend, Javier, wasn't suppose to have the class so he was sure to leave within weeks. During the time with him I noticed this big group of friends that seemed quite interesting to me. Around the time when he had his classes changed the song "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus came along and I drew a funny picture about it. I introduced myself into the big group and at first they seemed off about me but then they accepted me, especially this one girl named Tiffany. We had a few classes together so we would sit together and this was a start of a story of best friends.
I cant remember if I was in frist or second grade when my Aunt came to live with us.
My first week of at Liberty High School was pretty normal basically like a bigger version of middle school at frontier for me. My classes are all pretty fun and have their own characteristics, but for the most part cool. I went with all basic classes this year to see if they were to easy or if they would be perfect for me, so that next year if I wanted I can move up to ap classes. The sport I play most of the time right now is football, I play cornerback and running back. When I’m not playing football I am wrestling, and hopefully join the swim team if I don’t make varsity in football or wrestling. Also this year I hope that I can keep straight A’s, and if not at least not go below a

The guy then replied“ No he didn’t!And if you guys are so curious you can ask him tomorrow. He’s coming here to Camden tomorrow, whatever little kids,” then he left.
