Personal Narrative: My Last Year At Queen Of Apostles School

The pile of homework sat at my desk. All I can see is the piles of papers chasing me. Telling me that I’m not going to make it out alive, but if I take it one step at a time I know I can. Over the years, we find success in some grade levels, and other times we struggle. Because I did all of my homework, took good quality notes, and had amazing teachers to help me, my 8th grade year was the most successful year I’ve had.

On the evening of June 5, 2015, it was the day of my graduation at Our Lady of Refuge Catholic School. I was somewhat nervous, but yet confident and proud of myself that I made it this far in my academic career, and to graduate was a bittersweet moment in my life. The sweet part was that I graduated and I was about to start a new chapter in my life which was high school! However, I didn't want to leave the school because everybody at that school was like a part of my family. When that day finally came, I was ready to enter in the Church with my class to begin the ceremony.

I, currently as a student at Ruth Thompson Middle School, have contributed to the community around me in many ways. In my school, as of now, I have been part of the RTMS Tech Team, which includes in helping students with technology, helping teachers set up with assemblies, open houses, replacing PC monitors, and a lot more. As part of tech team, I have also helped with things that are relatively tedious, like sorting out a whole room of cables. Yes, I will do it again at JFSS if I’m assigned or have the opportunity to. Also, I have helped with jobs that may require a little more skill. In my school, I have tried, along with a team of other students, try to install Chrome OS on unsupported hardware, which if succeeds, will be installed on more

I started middle school at Bethany Middle school, I had my two older cousins going to school with me. One is the same grade I am and the other is two years older. It was nice having them but we all hung out with different crowds and sometimes we would not agree on the same things so we would not always get along. My first day of middle school was not as bad as i thought it would have been due to the fact that the Bethany middle school was not big at all. My 6th grade year was tough for me when it came to school work, i was used to the work from Central Elementary school and the Bethany Schools were much more strict and left a lot of homework so it was a big change for me. I remember my English class was the hardest along with science but I

Every year ever since my goal would be to take home the awarded diploma to the best student in the class. I chose to convey exemplary values to those around me, be it classmates, friends, or family. Although quirky, and having been an only child for the longest and loneliest seven years of my upbringing, I eagerly and earnestly strived to make an effort in becoming a successful and respectable member of my family, neighborhood, and surroundings. I anticipated becoming a role model as a soon-to-be older

My four years at Ludington High School have taught me many important lessons. I wish to talk about the three prominent ones that effect my every day life.

Have you ever noticed how the friends you had back in grade school, might not be your friends now? This occurrence has probably happened to you and it also happened to me during my 6th grade year at Sartell Middle School. I have forgiven my olds friends from 6th grade but during that time I felt like an outcast, and that was the label that I gave myself.

Even though I was always behind my peers in class I knew that I could work hard and achieve the same as all of them. I didn’t do badly but I definitely struggled a little my first two years. However, during my junior year I really strived to do my best and learn all that I can. This lead to two good and easy years of high school due to my success and

This is my first year at Bonnabel high school, I came from Chateau Estates Elementary School, I attended there in from my 5th grade to my 8th grade. I met Keion at chateau, when i was in 5th grade Keion was in 4th, Thats why when i came here and found out that keion was in my grade (9th grade) I was surpriced. Most of my 7th grade and all my 8th grade i never did homework, thats why i dont trip to do it. I definitely don't do my homework. I rather do all my work at school because I know, I wont do it as homework.

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.

You never realize how much you can take until you can’t take it anymore. I came to this realization in the 7th grade at Penelope Middle School. Throughout my life, I’ve always been used in a way that seemed like friendship. In middle school, I was never the popular girl, but the popular girls did hang out with me and they made me feel as a part of their group. But all of me knew that they were using me for my knowledge and just school in general; they were bad influences on me. I took it, until one day I realized they were all bullies and I wanted better for myself before I became one too. I went about this in all the wrong ways. I was becoming the one thing I was trying to get away from.

“This is it, Jacob. this our last year of middle school”I Told Jacob as we’re walking into school

As my 9th grade year begun, I was beyond thrilled because I was now being known as a freshman of McGehee High School. Besides being away from the teachers and their ridiculous rules in Junior High, I no longer had to worry about being called “the little kids” by the seniors and juniors because we were now all in the same building. What I did have to worry about was getting the amount of credits I needed to pass into the next grade, and to graduate once I made it to the 12th grade. Throughout my entire freshman year, I made sure that I did every assignment and studied for every test because I didn 't want to start on a wrong foot. There would be some days when I didn’t want to do anything, so instead of trying I would get all the answers from my friend. I could see that many days she would get annoyed by me always asking for the answers, so I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t ask anyone else for an answer that I was capable of

Hi, My former AAU coach and mentor, who is a professor at Northwestern, recently told me about the possibility of taking a postgraduate year at a prep school.
