Personal Narrative: My Transfer To Sturgis Brown High School

Growing up on the west side of Chicago, it was always about finessing to get where you wanted to go in life. You either play basketball, rap, or scam, and I don’t fit any of the mentioned criteria. I have only one way that will allow me to live the successful life I dream of, and that’s my education. I worked my hardest during elementary school just so I could be able to attend one of the top high schools in Chicago and only then was I accepted into Whitney M. Young Magnet High School, one of the top three high schools in the state.

It was a typical normal day during sophomore year as I and Kevin were normally having a conversation in the hallways of Neuqua Valley High School during a five minute passing period after class. After walking from the d-wing to the b-wing we just happened to look down at the ground and for a moment we were shocked of what we had found and couldn’t believe our eyes there were three one hundred dollar bills just lying there for the taking so I picked it up and looked at it and we took it for our taking because who wouldn’t like to find three hundred dollars I looked at kevin and said “ We need to get to class, but let’s meet up after school and split the money”. I held on to the money for the time being or at least after class. We met after class

Coming to Citrus Hill High school was a big transition for me within itself. I originally transferred from rancho verde to get away from the trouble and focus more on the things that were important to me, like my school work and baseball. I had heard from the people around that there was a good program there play baseball there. When I came I thought my year would be good new start, new school, new surroundings nothing could go wrong.. Shouldn’t have said that. When i got there my anger issues have gotten in the way and has held me back from achieving many of the goals i set for myself before the school year began. For example, starting off good in all my classes keeping my grades up and making the baseball team. I’ve had previous conversations

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.

I use to go to Bethesda Elementary before I moved here. The reason I moved was because I would go to Thomas. H. Pyle Middle School while the kids at BE would go to Westland Middle School. If I continued going to BE in sixth grade when I moved to Pyle I would not know anyone. The reason I moved to Bradley Hills, and not any other school that was going to Pyle was because Bradley Hills had a renovation that allowed more kids to come.

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.

It was 7:00 in the morning when we arrived at the Johnston City High School. Once everyone arrived at the high school, we got on the bus and headed off to Benton. As we stepped foot on the bus, we all sat there quietly, nervous about the results of this game. This was the game that determined whether or not we went on to state. Coach Simon and Coach Shane gave us one of their what we like to call "before the game warm-up talks". We were all nervous of course, but we were all determined to win this game. We had been looking forwards to winning regionals and going to state the whole season and that day was the day that we gave us the opportunity to go to state. After the thirty minute bus ride, we finally got to Benton and once we got there,

On August 13th, 2016 my family and I started a new life. We were forced to relocate from Southern California to Prosper, Texas for my dad’s job. When I moved I knew absolutely no one. It was extremely hard to move away from my people that I have been friends with for almost my whole life. It was even harder to say goodbye to my grandma and my brothers. Finding new friends and adjusting to a new city in a new state was very difficult. On the first day of school, I was extremely nervous, because I didn’t know anyone.

I attended fifth grade at Northside Elementary School, but was very excited to get over to Martha Brown Middle School!! I remember, even though I was excited to be in the sixth grade, I was nervous! I remember on the first day of middle school, I was lost trying to get to classes. I could not remember my locker combination and had to ask for help from the very tall Mr. O’Dell. I just felt that nervous because I could not remember what seat to sit in and the classes seemed like they were going to be difficult.

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!

On April 19, 2000, I was introduced into this world in Gallipolis, Ohio. I am living in Oak Hill, Ohio and I currently live with my Mother and Father. Currently, I am enrolled in Oak Hill High School and I am part of the senior class of 2018. I am also a three year Oak Hill Football player and I am part of the varsity team. My plan for life is that I continue my studies into college and hope to major in Mechanical Engineering and move to Denver, Colorado to pursue a job that best fits my life.

Everyone experiences change, and it can often be a good thing ; like me coming to Wisconsin Lutheran High School (WLHS) as a transfer student. Of course I was nervous, as I did not know anyone and I am a shy person. So I did what most people would do and joined a sport; I tried out for cheerleading during my freshman year at Milwaukee School of Languages (MSL) for the next school year at WLHS. I had a nervous filled tryout day, but surprisingly I made the team. Cheer started right after tryouts; as we hung out on the weekends. Practice later started in the summer and was mostly in the morning; I had never been on a sports team and the idea of practice during on summer mornings was kind of hard to grasp. I tried my hardest to come to every practice,

The term "life-changing" is often thrown around. Whether is be a new diet, a summer camp, or a mission trip, many things can be considered life-changing depending on who you ask. When I started high school, I had no sense of who I was or what I wanted to do. I was a young freshman who just tried to get by with decent grades and a group of friends, but not much more than that. At that point, there was no path for me to follow, but there was an open field for me to explore. And boy did I explore it.

Acceptance is what every human being yearns for. My high school career I couldn't remember wanting anything but to be accepted. I wasn't socially accepted at West Charlotte High School. I wanted to get into Fashion Club, one of the best and hardest clubs to get into at West charlotte. I thought I had what it takes to be a fashionista. That morning I put together the best outfit on this earth, so I thought. I did my makeup, well what I knew how to do. I flat-ironed my hair so marvelous it shined and twirled with every movement. I created a masterpiece out of myself. I got to school ate breakfast as usual, but this day I knew I was looking my finest. I danced to the omni where everyone was meeting for their evaluation. The omni is the most vibrant

During my time at the school I had seriously considering moving to Oregon to live with my dad. Although in the beginning I was told that I could easlily transfer my credits I found out later that most if any at all wouldn't transfer to another school like Pima which I stated before was a local community college. My only real option was to transfer to another ITT, so when I looked into going to the one in portland to my surprise they also could not transfer all of my credits over and didn't even offer the same degree. They told me they could transfer me into a buisness management degree which was equivilant to the one I was getting now in game design to which I politely declined. The end result came down to me staying in Arizona or not completing
