Personal Narrative: My Trip To High Marq Environmental Charter School

On April 08, 2016, I arrived to my designated school, Cypress Point Elementary School. Upon my arrival to Cypress Point Elementary School, I went to the main office of the school to see the assistant principal, Mrs. Dewitt. She could not make it to school on time, due to her having car troubles. The secretary told me she would notify her that I arrived and to set me. As I waited for Mrs. Dewitt, I noticed quite a few students having to call home due to violating the school dress code. Mainly it was more girls violating the dress code than boys. I am assuming from what I saw, the children only wore clothes that they saw the adults wore, or whatever their parents picked out for them. During this time, I noticed a little Asian or Hispanic boy being brought to school but he was supposed to be at home due to suspension. The secretary asked him “Why are you at school?” This young man told the secretary that his mother brought him to school. The secretary informed him that he needs to call his mother so that she

Throughout my childhood I have lived in the same town, lived in the same tattered trailer, and have never truly known comfort in the financial sense. My family has always struggled. This is part of what has motivated me to at least do something with my life. I want my family to know that monetary comfort and that my children will be able to go to the college that they want to attend and have worked their butts off to get to and not worry about paying for it. This is why I decided to continue schooling after high school.

Growing up, money was never a huge issue to my family, not to say I was spoiled, but I was definitely privileged. I grew up in Fairfield County, Connecticut, went to private schools my entire life, had a stay at home Mom and a hard working Dad. I believed this was how it was always going to be, until my freshman year of high school. My parents started to fight a lot, especially late at night as I would lie in my bed feeling my families happiness slip away. My parents decided it would be best for the family to get a divorce. I believe this was the beginning of my passion for finance, not because of the constant yelling and screaming that led to the divorce, but the result of the separation. My Mom met my Dad in college and thought she would spend the rest of her life with him and foolishly dropped out of college to follow

Little Falls Community Schools have taught me so much knowledge in my thirteen years. I thought I knew a lot of information when I entered the high school, but I guess I was wrong. These past four years I have learned so much material from my teachers. Four years ago, I thought economics only dealt with money and that calculus would be really hard. Turns out, economics is not just about money but also about externalities and market structures; however, calculus is still hard. I have absorbed many different kinds of knowledge in my four years at Little Falls Community High School.

Callie Adams Foster tried to stay under the radar at Anchor Beach Charter School. It was a hard task to accomplish when her mother was the assistant principal and she had four other siblings running around; especially a sister who was head of the Honor Board. Yes, it was a tough job but Callie was pretty good at it.

To know how lead, first you got to learn how to follow. Knowing that quote help me understand my mentor Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith was my coach at first when I started Middle School at Paul Public Charter School. Mr. Smith had taught me to not put sports over education and to respect others.

My heart pounded against my ribs. My throat was dry, but I had no one to talk to through the harrowing experience that I had just endured. My backpack not only weighed down my body, but also my morale. I looked around, but there was nobody in sight. Purposefully twisted metal and bright green trees encompassed me. I knew where I was. But I was lost.

There’s one decision that I’ve made that I’m still carrying out; meaning, I’m still not certain whether it was a good one or not. My decision was to come to Squaw Valley Academy. I did not want to go to my local high school as the education system wasn’t the best a couple years ago. It still isn’t but occasionally I wonder if I made the right choice. By going through with this decision I have changed a great deal. I have been at this school for almost two years now, and I’m definitely not the same person that arrived here. Going back home I realized how different I was from my old friends, and how much more mature I had become.

Since birth, I have resided in a small town in California. Presently, since I am fond of theology and mathematics, I am pursuing a major in Bible and Theology and I am endeavoring for a minor in STEM. Currently, I am privileged to work as a Math Tutor for a Charter School. My family consists of my parents and me: I am an only child. From this course, I hope to learn different methods of doing logical math so that I may tutor my students in that method.

I grew up where my parents worked hard and I got pretty much anything I wanted.

I am very concerned where I am attending school, which is at Fossil Ridge High School. Truthfully, Since I have attended Fossil In August 2016 my grades have been slipping, on the other hand when i was at Rocky i was doing a lot better at school than I am now. I’ve tried to have a good relationship with all my teachers and come in for help when I need it, but I feel like I am always left out and not cared for as much as the other students that attend Fossil, At Rocky I felt very comfortable with all of my teachers and had a great relationship with them and felt that they care about me as a student and wanted be to be successful, something I never felt with any of my teachers at Fossil. I have a lot of great friends at Rocky that i grew up

Being poor and having nothing can show you to appreciate your family and all that they do for you. Material goods things are fun and cool but they distract you from the greater things in life

Arguing happens every day of my life, from when I wake up to when I went to sleep. There’s nothing I could do to help the arguing. I overheard my parents talking about separating for a tiny bit to help with the arguing. I let it pass because they’ll never agree on anything. It took them 2months of fighting and counseling just to decide if I could go to summer camp. They are always fighting about my twin and I. I went to sleep. A couple weeks later, I overheard my parents talking about separating me and Gaia, which would be insane because we need each other, literally. When I went to summer camp, Gaia tried to put herself back into the earth by standing where we both sprouted on earth, trying to root herself to the ground. She failed thought, she forgot that we both must be standing face to face to re – root. I hope my parents don’t separate us.

From pre-school till sixth grade I was in private school that was co-ed I switched to four different private schools since I was younger. For pre-school I went to St.Micheal which was an experience to have been able to encounter. Being able to learn about religion, other languages, and different cultures. Going in to kindergarten till third grade I went to St. George it was a good
