Personal Narrative: My First Year At Bonnabel High School

I was told in the 4th grade that school will get harder and harder, I was told that middle school and high school will get harder than elementry school.

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.

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.

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

My first day at Bennett High School was on February 4, 2015. I had previously communicated my intention to be at Bennett HS for my orientation that day to Mrs. Gina O’Kussick. At 8:30am, I got to the school and introduced myself to Mrs. O’Kussick with whom I then spent the next 10 minutes discussing and finalizing my weekly schedule. I decided to observe her next class in order to familiarize myself with the students and class atmosphere.

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.

I think I substitute taught for your great ESOL students on Friday, November 17, 2017, and that day was my first time at Northwestern High School. I apologize for not contacting you sooner, but I accidentally forgot to mention what I am writing now.

The first step I took in the Cupertino High School band room, I instantly knew that this is where I belong. The drums on the shelves, tubas hanging from the wall, all the joyous people in the room just made me happy. This is my first year at Cupertino as a 14 year old, and band sounds really fun and interesting, so I decide to join. It is August 2015, and I went in for registration, and measure out sizes for everything, I could not wait for what is lying in front of me.

I am currently in my Sophomore year at Loveland High School. I have been working hard toward saving money for my own car so that I am able to commute to work and school. I currently have my temps but will be able to receive my drivers license on my birthday in January. I have ran the idea past my mom of buying a second car for Catherine and me to use. Although, with the financial circumstances we are currently in we can not afford to pay for a second car with just her income alone, as it is far too expensive. This is why I am working hard to make some extra money. I currently have about $1200 saved and I can not work during the school year because of my academic involvement. If i only work during the summer it will be quite difficult for

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

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.

I'm an immature rambling child at heart and I will most likely always be that way. Immaturity can sometimes be seen as a bad characteristic in people, but I find that to be absolutely false. I love being silly and weird because that's who I am and I don't plan on changing that aspect of myself just because i'm becoming an adult and moving on with my life. I made so many significant realizations during my years of high school. These realizations changed my outlook on life and my morals starting becoming more clear to me. I slowly started to see things differently for what they truly are. Im not saying Im some scholarly intellectual, but I am saying I'm not ignorant. My first realization was nearing the end of my sophomore year at Ravenwood High School.

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

I am Gloria Carranza, I attend Porterville College. Throughout my education I have had bad experience in English and as the time went by English has not been my favorite subject. I think I don’t like English because it’s my second language and sometimes I have trouble communicating and writing papers for my English classes. My favorite subject is Math, since I was in seventh grade it has been my passion to learn and learn more about math than any other subject except Art. Art has helped me develop new ideas and picturing myself on becoming someone that could help other students in different ways. Art is one of my best things I enjoy doing in my life. It helps me develop my future by making a picture of all the things that I want to accomplish in my life.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and today was going to be exciting for my brother Jim. Today, he would be competing in the league championship for Mount Pleasant High School. I would be something of a coaching surrogate since I already graduated 2 years earlier. You could say we were both excited.
