Personal Narrative: My Time At Western Guilford High School

I have always been in love with the game of softball. I love all the competition and the thought of working at it brings joy to my heart. I could always go to the field to get my mind off things and just focus. But in May of 2015 my life changed and I had a whole new mind set on everything.

When I lived in North Carolina in 2012, I lived in a small school within a tight nit community. From day one I felt as though I didn’t belong, and the ones who made me feel most out of place were my teachers. My teachers told me to leave and go back to Maryland because if i stay I would fail. I couldn’t believe teachers would say that I was so shocked. My teachers rarely attempted to help me with my work as if I was unteachable because I didn’t learn as fast as everyone else.

It just made things easier for the bullies and things worse for me. Louis and I remained in Wildcats East. I was afraid and sometimes I never wanted to go back. I thought the bullying would have stopped. Now that I am not in school anymore, I feel safer, not threatened or bullied by anyone much anymore. Pretty sad I tell you how school life had to turn out the way it did.

“Fight, fight, fight,” was the chant that so often filled the halls of West Monroe High School. The teachers heard it every time but always hid in the teacher's lounge for fear of being attacked. This was the legacy of WMH, fights, student riots, and terrified teachers.

Our family lived in wheaton I went to highschool there it was called wheaton high school. Although I was really good at football it was not my favorite sport I loved baseball and track I ran the 100 and 220 yard sprints also I ran low and high hurdles,the long jump and not to mention I was a 4 time sprint champion.In football at the highschool I scored 75 touvhdown and kicked 82 extra. I did not want to go to college because they did not offer college scholarships red father said “he was set on my going.” One of my neighbors convinced me to go to the university of Illinois. In my first game playing on the varsity team I scored 3 touchdowns my longest one was 65 yards all the people that watched me play said I had great speed dodging and change

Thinking back through my time at Dekalb High School, I sit back in awe wondering how I made it this far. I sit back and wonder and remember the good memories, bad memories, and the unforgettable people I have met. Its crazy to think I made it this far. Its awesome to think how I’ve changed as a person from a immature freshman, to a trying finding myself as sophmore, to being a Junior and getting with the program, and now a Senior getting ready to graduate. I truly have learned life lessons, and truly gained accomplishments in my time here.

3 years ago I was a green belt in taekwondo. I liked taking taekwondo lessons and my goal in taekwondo was to reach a black belt. But my mini story is about when I was a green belt at a tournament at the Northglenn High School gym. Tournament day was a really fun day because all the taekwondo schools in the district got together to spar, and show what we learned to the other schools. The sparring was my favorite part of the tournament, I was not the best at sparring because I wasn’t aggressive enough as the other teachers told me constantly. But today I was doing really good in the sparring tournament and was beating all the opponents that I faced. I was getting really excited because if I kept doing really good I might get to the finals and win

During my time at Sprague high school, I gained a lot of experience in the field of athletic training. Working in the high school setting gave me the opportunity to get more hands on practice, which is very important for an athletic training student. One thing I did notice is in the treatment center at Linfield, I found myself have to compete with all the other students to get cases, but in the high school setting it has been just one person working. Throughout my experience at Sprague I noticed great improvement within myself in regards to building confidence and knowing what kind of athletic trainer I want to be. I still have a lot to learn, but I feel my high school internship has set me in the right direction. I gained a lot of valuable contacts within the profession and got to learn from two of the best athletic trainers Kimo and Amy!

HIgh school has always been easy for me, and probably for the majority of people that have been through the school system in America. 20 years ago there wasn’t a such thing as a program like northland CAPS for high schoolers. Also 20 years ago you didn’t need a college degree to pursue most careers. For me I’ve always been a procrastinator, even the application I submitted to northland caps was late. I’ve always been comfortable talking in front of large crowds and I’ve always been comfortable with myself. However, I was tired of the traditional classroom as well. The repetivness of being in highschool learning the same material has the juniors did before you. I wanted to try something different my junior year, and I knew that there wouldn’t be very many juniors in this program making it a bigger challenge for me.

My time at Elk County Catholic High School is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I have made a large amount of memories throughout the past four years, especially on the sporting surfaces. I am upset about graduating in less than a month, but I am also excited to begin a new chapter in my life. I simply want to be remembered as a kid who made the most out oh his experience in high school. It has been my goal to keep good grades, along with having the most fun possible. This starts with spending time with my friends. I never pass on an opportunity to spend time with those whom I have made countless memories with since elementary school. I also made it a priority to play as many sports as possible. Sports in general are my

It was a hot and sunny day. It was an early morning at school, about seven thirty-five. There are four main students, McKenzie, Jordan, Tyla, and Joseph . These four students go to Winchester Community High School (WCHS). They have four out of seven classes together, plus lunch. First period, third period,lunch, fourth period, and seventh period.

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

In my 4 years at Lemoore High School, I received a A-B average and have been told I am a “conscientious student” by my teachers. The class I had the most difficult was Spanish 1 my freshman year and ended with a D-. Other than that I believe I was an average student. My sophomore year I mostly had B’s, which was satisfying for me although I knew I could do better. My junior year I really tried my best to get the grades I wanted and ended it with only one C- first semester; Integrated Math 3, but ended the year with a B-. This year I made a decision to not enter math and it happened to be a huge difference in my transcript. I studied my hardest and received a total of a 4.0 GPA my first semester of my senior year and hope to have

In addition to allocating my time to achieve the best grades possible, I enjoy being involved in many different programs outside of the classroom. I’ve always understood that grades alone do not tell much about a person’s character, so I began volunteering regularly in order to make a positive impact in the lives of others. For the past three summers, I have dedicated a portion of each summer to building my character and leadership skills at Peeler and Leonard Recreation Centers in Greensboro, as part of the Counselor in Training Program. My responsibilities were to lead certain camp activities, to mentor the campers, and to ensure their safety, all while making sure that the kids in the camp were having an exciting summer. During my time in

In the Spring of 2015 all seniors were all excited and happy for all their activities they had coming up. Friday, May 15, 2015, at Americus-Sumter High School all the seniors had planned to do a prank at our very last pep rally/Cinco De Mayo program at the school. So we all got in one big group text message and had everything all planned out to the exact time and everything. Many then left the school piece by piece to get lots of water balloons, silly string, party poppers, and party confetti. As the day went by we had to struggle to get the water balloons filled with water and had to find places to hide them from the janitors and underclassmen. In the process of trying to find hiding places we came upon abandoned cooler so we started stashing the water balloons in the cooler until it was time for the big show down. After we got half of the balloons filled up many decided they wanted to go ahead and throw a few water balloons and spray silly string in the halls. We were hyped, excited, and ready for the final show down at the end of the day.
