Personal Narrative: The Night Of Sadie Hawkins Dance

At South Walton High School homecoming is an extremely important tradition. Not to mention, South Walton includes an unbelievably small number of students compared to majority of the high schools throughout the America. As I proceed through my senior year, I came to a realization that it would be my last opportunity to participate in this year’s series of homecoming events. With homecoming beginning the week of September 26, 2016 I was overjoyed to express the amount of spirit I had for my school. As each day expressed a different theme I decided to dress up for many of the occasions. On “twin day” as Meredith Grey from the cast of Grey’s Anatomy. Twin day allows students to find a partner or group of friends that could arrange a similar outfit

Four of my best friends and I all got ready together for the dance after the football game. We we’re all having fun, dancing around, singing and laughing. At least I thought we were having fun. So we go in, give or money to the lady that takes it so we can get in, get our hands marked, and walk in to all our friends waiting for us because of course we were about an hour late. We danced and had a lot of fun but the fun quickly came to an end when my friends started saying things behind my back.

Less than two months into my second semester of High School and I had lost all of my friends, I had nobody that I could turn to and felt as if my life was ruined. At this point, I was heavily hit by my depression and became ostracized from everything/everyone that had previously made me happy. It all started on February 21, my best friend’s birthday and also the day they asked if I would go out with them, when I refused everything began spiraling downhill. Upset by my rejection and inflamed by the idea that they were “so out of my league” and that I could “never get someone like them again”, my best friend went to our group of friends and told them several lies. All of these falsities revolved around the idea that I consistently slandered my friends behind their backs and how I never truly enjoyed their friendships. The idea of me doing these things enraged everyone and without even questioning the claims, I was removed from the

Let's go back to last year. One of my so called good friends, lets call her Tammy, stopped talking to me. We were friends from fourth grade to sixth. We lived in the same neighborhood, not that far away from each other. After school on Fridays, we would go to the park and hang out for hours. Then as we got older we would go swimming, and walk all around the neighborhood together. But one day in fifth grade, she was mean to someone neither of us liked. I saw nothing wrong with this considering that person was shady to everyone.

At first, I tried to be positive about the attitude of my friend. I tried to pass it off as her being homesick or anxious about school. Eventually, I grew tired of her being rude whenever I came into contact with her, so I started to avoid her. We stopped texting each other and I started taking different routes around campus. Anything would be better than hearing another rude comment. The friendship ended negatively with her declaring we weren’t loving enough, and leaving. As if that weren’t irritating enough she blocked us on all social media and beforehand had made posts about how we had abused

I was super excited for them to come on since I am a big fan of The Misfits and a fan of the band covering them.Without thinking I left Janie completely alone while I went and did my thing in the pit. Occasionally, after a song or two, I would go find her and see how she was holding up. Eventually their set came to an end so I went back and talked with her while the other band set up. If I recall correctly the band after them was the band that I can't remember. However, during their set I stood next to Janie since I wasn't that interested in the band. While I was standing there a random drunk lady came up to me to talk about music and eventually asked for my number claiming it was because her brother's band needed contacts to set up a tour. That put me in bigger awkward situation since I was sort of on a 'date' with Janie. While that band played it looked like Janie wasn't that interested so I asked if she wanted to leave early, but because it was a school night. She said she didn't mind staying longer. We managed to stay for the whole concert. I was dreading the drive home because I knew it'd be just as awkward as the drive there. I managed to get lost on the way there which made me feel very unintelligent. Luckily she had GPS on her phone. I felt so embarrassed having to ask her to look up the directions on her phone. After we got on I-46 I knew the rest of the way so she decided to sleep. I wasn't bothered by this, I figured it would help avoid another car

The year is 1923. There is this very small, quiet, and amazing town in Ohio called Otway. In this town there is a small white two story house with a beautiful garden as a backyard. In this house lives a 12 year old brunette haired girl named Myronetta June.

We wanted to go in our own little clique before we all left and went back to the country we lived in. Our older cousins had left and since Jenin did not have anybody to go and cling herself on, so she decided to go see us. As she came in we were discussing the plan for the night. We did not want her to know anything about it, so Alex and I started speaking in French while texting Ahmad the information. Jenin tried to speak to us but we ignored her, she got bored up of us and left the room 5 minutes later. She seemed as if she was about to cry and I felt horrible about the way I had acted towards her. My cousins seemed indifferent about it and told me that she was a diva, and that she was complaining earlier. As I left the room and walked to the dooryard, she was whining to my dad about something. I believed it must have been because my older cousins left and told her to stay at home. We talked to our family about going out , they were aware that we were going to go out, but they all told us to take Jenin and her brother. We discussed with them and told them we just wanted to go out by ourselves. It took us time to convince them but we finally got a drive. Ahmad talked to Jenin’s mom explaining the situation and she seemed

The phone rings. My mom steps up from her worn office chair and grabs her cell phone.

It happened on the ride to the state volleyball tournament this year. I planned to go with Bailey and she wanted to ride with Nick S, Branzon, Jake, and Derick. I agreed figuring we’d at least sit by each other since that what happened the last time we went somewhere with them. I would've been fine sitting by anyone till I learned that Nick G and Kaitlyn were also coming with us and I do not like them very much. Therefore, I knew there wouldn't be much conversation as they weren't really friends with any of us. I wanted to sit by Bailey because I knew I could talk to her quietly without making anything awkward but she had other

I found out I had a compaction in Chicago for dance. I was so tired, starving and not up for it. I was nerviest and It didn’t help that there was a girl riding on my back. Telling me that I suck and that I won’t win to get her an advantage. well winning it all was pretty cool. But she knew that she had to step up her game and start pushing us down so she can go up. And trust me “manger anger issue” is all she had well that’s what it seemed like. All though she was good on the dance floors. She followed me thought compaction after compaction. She kept getting better and better and I started to feel worse and worse.

I told her I didn’t have any and she offered to be my friend. In conclusion, I learned that there are nice people in this world even if other people are shunning you, they will stick up for you and care for you no matter what. All you must do is allow yourself to find the right people to be around that have positive energy. But on the other hand, it is ok to handle your problems and still have a great positive mind set. To be become a better person it’s better for me to admit to my problems and work them out. Second, it’s about building a relationship with yourself and other people around me to help build that positive vibe. Third, it helps me grow as a person and it grows my emotions and feeling on how to handle it like a mature person. Forth, it’s about how people show love to me and respect me as a person not just an empty shell. To be a mature person, I must learn how shunning can make me a better person by building a relationship, grow in the mind and love. The reason I must know these things is because it helps me to move on in life and, it’s better to have these things on taking the first steps on becoming a mature person. Even though it is difficult to be a strong person, I am willing to do my best and become a strong independent woman and not

After the graduation ceremony, the school organized an event for students to attend instead of going to a party and drinking. It was named project graduation, we all met back at the school at 10 pm and took the buses to an arcade place. I went with a group of friends I was close with in high school. At first, it was fun playing games, and riding rides, refreshments, and food were provided too. When my best friend Cristina, Jimmy and I were outside on line for a ride, another friend of mine Casey asked: “Can I ride with you guys”. I said ok and right away my snobby friend Cristina said: “there is no room”. Clearly there was room for the four of us, I am the type of person that treats everyone, equally uncool or not. I did not like how Cristina treated her, so I walked away with my other friend. A persons’ character determines his or her traits for us to be good people. I am a compassionate, responsible, and caring person. This became an ethical dilemma because I felt I needed to make a choice, stay best friends with Cristina or ignore my other friend and hurt her feelings. I believe all people should treat other how they would want to be treated by doing right by God.In the end, Cristina and I stopped being friends because treating people kindly and fairly is very important to my

My friends started to care less about peoples feelings and more about how popular they were. All they cared about was if they were popular and if they had the expensive clothing to show off. My friends were constantly calling people names and making mean jokes. I realized that I needed new friends. I couldn't just watch my friends call people names and not do anything about it. Although I really wanted new friends I didn't know where to go. I knew that if I left I would have no other friends to hang out with. It was all I could think about. Do I stay with my rude friends or do I leave my friends and be all alone.I was tired of being treated bad by my friends but I was scared that If I left them they would start to make fun of me more and call me names
