Personal Narrative On Andy Evans

This year I would say was one of the toughest for me to go through. I went through a lot of challenges this year in 8th grade both academically and socially.

Starting her Freshman year of High School, Melinda found herself in a very dark, low, depressing, time in her life. She had lost all the ambitions she had for her High School career.

David wanted Stephen to come with him and Haley asked me to ride to the airport with them so she didn't have to drive home by herself.

After Haley and I dropped them off, I remember Haley making a comment about how David and I would make a good couple. I remember laughing and telling her she is

This year had its ups and downs but I would never trade it for another freshmen year because all of the obstacles form our personalities and life is ten percent problems and ninety percent trying to cope with them so whenever I think I can’t do anything I remember that in my freshmen year, I got first place at state for a pantomime, got second place in Boston for Show Choir, made twice as many friends as I have in my whole life, and managed to keep my old friends in the process. I would say that this year would be my best year since
