Personal Speech: My First JS Prom Experience

My first year of college I was devastated because I didn’t pass my math class due to procrastination. Not because the class

As I look back on my prepubescent years, I remember failing a difficult math test in the fourth grade. I was extremely disheartened. It was one of the hardest tests of the year, but I was determined to pass with flying colors. I had put my utmost effort into solving each of the problems, and I had even studied for days in advance.

Being a Redkin at Chowchilla Union High School was full of great memories with even greater people. All four years at this school were amazing, but senior year was my favorite. When senior year first started I was playing tennis with a team that had a lot of potential. It was my second year playing as the number one singles and at the number one doubles spot with my partner Amy. While season was in progress homecoming was coming up and I was nominated to run for homecoming queen. On the big game day I wore an aqua dress, everyone said I looked like The Little Mermaid, the sprinklers even shot out behind me. I was nervous as well as all the other nominees. After Cooper Seals got called and crowned homecoming queen they announced my name. I

It was the year to prepare for prom, and graduation. Spite of this events; senior year is not to slack. In senior year I still had to get straight A’s thus my GPA will not fall downhill. I had to still meet the deadlines with the senior activities or requirements. I had to purchase the cap and gown with the entrance ticket for my graduation. During the month of April I started to go to the shopping malls to find the perfect dresses for prom and graduation day. The dress for graduation had to be a light color, and appropriate to wear under the white gown. Finally I found the perfect dress after four hours trying dresses

Out of the 19 years I have been blessed to be on this earth, I can honestly say that my most rewarding moment was the day graduated Mansfield Timberview High School. Hearing my family cheer me on, getting my diploma and shaking hands with the board of administration, and beating our class statistics, is what this day a very memorable day.

In Sator Sanchez Elementary School I flunked 3rd grade and the event changed my life and how I see my education. The most vivid image was when I was in the gym crying after getting the news. First, I believed I learned that I was going to repeat the grade by reading the envelope they gave us, which had our last report cards in them. It didn’t hit me till I entered the gym, which also acted like a waiting area for the busses. On my way there I was thinking about what it would mean. That my childhood friend Melisa, my “cousin” Jerry and the few friends I had would proceed to the next grade while I get left behind, I ended up not seeing almost all of them ever again. While the prospect of not seeing the people I grew up with terrified me, the reason made my confidence took a great blow, I also thought that I was pretty stupid for flunking.

For the begining of the year I went to a school called Alameda Jr./Sr. High School by my grandma’s house but, the new house was a 4o minute drive so I had to switch schools. My new school was called Mandalay Middle School, I was a mix of scared and excited to have a fresh start. So on September 27th 2016 I had my first day as a wolverine -Mandalay’s mascot is a wolverine. On just that first day I met some amazing people including a girl named Leah who in fact is still my bestfriend to this day.

How beautiful it was, all the beautiful people that were there and how much sacrifice my friends and family made. The truth is my graduation day started out clear and sunny. The white tents lined the oaks of Audubon Park and every spectator thought it was a wedding. The food, the music, the guest, and then the storm. It rained and stormed, the wind blew, and water rose. We had to keep moving to higher ground and yet, no one left, those who were supposed

Senior year was a year to remember. Imagine walking into your school for the last time, you start to realize that soon you will be entering the real world, called reality. Memories like eating breakfast with friends, walking down the halls with your friends. Basically hanging out with friends, is what I can keep in my heart and cherish them forever.

The night of graduation we all lined up the same way we did at practice, ABC order, as I walked out I felt so rewarded that I was able to make it to my high school graduation. We all sat in a huge gym surrounded by our loves ones, Black and gold caps and gowns filled the room. I waited anxiously for my name to be called; with my last name starting with a W I was pretty much at the end. I walked up and across the stage, shook their hand as I received my diploma and smiled for a picture. As I walked back to my seat I feel my eyes start to water because I felt so proud of myself that I made it to this point after years of hard work. I look around once I’m seated and see how happy everyone is. Next year everyone will be going their separate ways, starting college and making new friends. The ceremony ends with a bunch of smiles, some tears and caps being thrown up in the air while everyone is clapping for

Knowing I didn’t study, I held in my breath and closed my eyes as he handed me the three sheets of scribbles and sloppily circled answers. Slowly I opened my eyes and looked down at my grade, and there it was, 49%. My first failing grade. My cheeks turned as red as the sharpie the teacher used to mark my paper. Embarrassment and shame crashed over me. Page flip after page flip, I scanned my mistakes and then immediately shoved the papers into my folder. Other classmates were gawking at their success and I didn’t want them to see my failure. That grade haunted my mind for forever, it seemed.

Our graduation is our coming of age, our right of passage. As we walk across this stage we are writing the closing pages to our Chapter I and heading into the great unknown. It's kinda scary -- but hey, don't you cry, even though high school is over, the times we've shared and the friends we've made will never be lost. The clock is ticking, time is fleeting and nobody lives forever. But true friendship is something we can count on never dying. I hope wherever we go in life it will be happy and even if we all move to remote island countries we can all count on the memories and laugh at all the stupid things we did.

Graduation day arrived and I had butterflies out of this world. It seemed as if I misplaced everything. I could not find my dress. My family came from one state to another. I finally got to the church were the commencement was going to be held. I

When I look back on this day now, I still remember every detail as if it was yesterday. I was so proud, and happy to be able to celebrate such an amazing day with all of my friends and family. I know I will never forget how embarrassed I was walking across the stage in front of all of those people, feeling famous after taking so many pictures, making our final memories together at our graduation parties, and then being a nervous wreck when it was time to go out into the world without my best friends at my side. High school graduation day was a very emotional day for me, but it was by far the most exciting day I have ever experienced in my

The day I graduated high school is the most important day of my life because I experienced a euphoric feeling. The excessive weight on my shoulders was released and I felt relieved. Throughout high school, I endured many sleepless nights due to homework that piled up because I was horrible at time-management. Also, procrastination always got the best of me and I spent many late nights drinking coffee to stay awake in order to study for quizzes and finals. High school definitely challenged me and I developed into a new version of myself after I graduated. My graduation day was a rollercoaster of emotions because I was anxious on the drive to school because of the tremendous amount of traffic. Naturally, stress came over me as I was about to arrive late to my own graduation. Truthfully, I was running late because I spent so much time straightening my thick, curly hair and applying makeup. After I applied some dark pink eyeshadow throughout my eyelids using a soft synthetic brush, I quickly applied a muted pink lipstick and rushed out of my room. Unfortunately, the time I spent applying my makeup was wasted because as soon as I
