Personal Narrative: My Senior Year Of High School

Sophomore year was absolutely nothing what I expected it to be; It was the complete opposite of freshman year. Freshman year I was shy and quiet. Also, in Freshman year, I was on a competition dance team and that was all I knew because I spent every day at the dance studio, and because of that, I was not very involved at school and I had no time for anything. However, I decided to quit my dance studio so I could have more of a life in High School. With my newly discovered free time, I decided to join the Speech team, the musical, and the play at Marian. I also decided to get a waitressing job at Le Peep. Thanks to these new activities, I became more confident than ever. I also found a new love of mine, theatre. Not only did I find the a new

It was the last last few days of summer before I started my Sophomore year of high school. My freshman year I applied and ran to be Sophomore class president, and I won. Before the start of school SGA (Student Government Association) had the responsibility to welcome and show new students around the school. While showing and bonding with new students I meet two new sophomores students named Ethan and Olivia. Ethan was a very attractive young man who was six feet and had nice dark hair, that was swooped to the right. Olivia on the other hand was a very short and pale girl who had orange hair that was very thin. Olivia and I both found Ethan to be attractive, Olivia made it known to me that she liked Ethan. It was the first day of school and

After a successful season, my teammates, club coach, and parents told my varsity coach how well I had been doing; he told me he would keep an eye on me and to keep striving to

Once cheer try outs for my senior year rolled around it was hitting me that I was a senior. We had cheer camp and I realized that was my last ever cheer camp for cheer in high school. Once school was starting and we had to get prepared for football season it really hit me that I was a senior, I wasn’t quite sure how to really take it. I didn’t think me becoming a senior would come so quickly and so fast. I can remember homecoming week like it was just a couple weeks ago, now that went by super fast and I didn’t really realize it till about a month ago. To me time fly’s by when you’re having fun, senior year is probably been the best year yet. I’ve had more memories my senior year than probably any other year. When basketball season came around

As the newly elected team captain, I knew we were in for some hard times. My new team was made up mostly of underclassmen. While the team showed promise,

Being a freshman is the hardest of your four years in high school. Have you ever been pressured to be the best person you can be? This is how my year was as a freshman. Freshman year was the most different I never thought I would of found my way around the school when I first started to go there. Freshman year was the best year throughout my years of high school and it was the only year I had friends. During this year I had a lot of anxieties which dealt with me thinking I’m gonna be alone and not have any friends throughout the year to support me through the whole thing. Also, I would think of the pressure of not doing good in any of my classes so I would think it would affect my GPA in the future. The transition from middle school to high school was a different type of thing to do.

In all my years of school, I never really enjoyed reading or writing. In elementary and middle school, I didn't hate it but I didn't look forward to it. Although, the books we had to read were not bad and I did enjoy some of them. Once high school came along, all the assignments got harder and my dislike for reading and writing grew stronger. Overall, I would say my Sophomore year was the worst but not because of the assignments but something else bigger than that.

Towards the end of summer my parents- who are the president and secretary of my swim booster club- told me that we’d be getting a new coach for the high school season. I was a little uncomfortable with the idea of a new coach. When summer ended and school started we met our new coach and started practices. We even had optional morning practices as well as afternoon practices and voluntary morning weightlifting. I was putting in at least 3 hours of work every

For the next two weeks, coaches were discussing on who should be captain. I thought I had a chance at it because I give all I can give and I stay positive and encourage others both on and off the ice. After practice, one day coach told us to all sit down because he has an important announcement to make. He told us he will be announcing the captain for this years hockey team. He talked about the person being a hard worker and a good leader. He told us there was a person that easily fits this job. He said “Alex” then my whole team started to clap for me. I was so happy I finally had a chance to be captain now I am. I knew it might not be easy and might take some work but I knew I could do it. I could tell some kids were disappointed about not becoming captain. I told them that you don't have to be captain to be a leader.

Over my years attending high school I feel like I have grown personally and academically. I have learned to ask for help when needed and to actually get the help I need. When I was a sophomore I really did not mind getting a C in my classes but not having a C in any of my classes doesn't feel good. I now check up and stay up to date with my grades more than before. I feel like this year I have realized how important it is to do the best you can and achieve good grades. I would say that a C would really affect me but I would not try the best to bring it up.

I participated in Football my freshman year of high school , I also ran track my Sophomore year of high school. I have been in AVID two years out of the four I’ve been in high school. I also have interest in weightlifting and finances. I worked at KFC and Bojangles as head cooks. I would say overall all the clubs and organizations I’ve participated in taught me the importance of organization and teamwork also the importance of high communication

My event I wanted to focus on the most is when I failed my freshmen year of high school. I didn’t try as much as I should have but I figured that I was going to pull a last minute try and do all my work when the end of the school year came but I was horribly wrong and I had to suffer the consequences of not being in my correct classes and being behind in credits.

On top of the embarrassment I felt for not being able to keep up with the pack, while running, all I could think about was how I needed to be spending my time catching up on homework or focusing on other activities that I was more passionate about. With my head hung low, I approached my parents and told them I would not be running track in the regular season. This was the first time I had ever not finished something I started, and it felt like a stab to the heart. To my surprise, my mom agreed that I should not continue and even told me that I never should have started something when I had such a busy schedule and only wanted to because of my friends. Right then and there, I realized that because my heart was not in the right place and because I let my friends influence my decision, I could never have succeeded at track. Not only did this one poor choice take time away from my responsibilities that I was actually invested in, but because I was constantly comparing my running abilities to other people, it ruined my potential appreciation for running in a fun, recreational

During my sophmore year of highschool I began to work over the summer with my dad, i started working in the iron industry with him. I got payed minimum wage and i had to do 4 hour weeks during the summer because of all the free time i had becase of the summer break. I also work during the winter breaks. Since my sophmore year i continuesly go to work during whatever break i have during the school year. Some volunteer work that i have done is that i volunteer at my local church every friday and sunday for two hours every night form 7pm-9pm on fridays and 2pm-4pm/2pm-5pm on sundays. I have been running the sound at the church since august of

As I enter my second semester of my senior year, I reminisce at how much I have developed physically and also academically throughout my high school career. My freshmen year was tough, to say the least. I was furthermore focused on my popularity than my grades. My sophomore year, I understood that popularity was not as important as my grades. I tried harder to get my grades up and participate in clubs that would better my future. Junior year, I almost had straight A’s the whole year. I pushed myself to focus on school and cut the distractions out. The grades I received my junior year determined what I was able to do my senior year. My successful grades meant I was able to early enroll my senior year at Eastern Florida State College. This will
