Senior Year Failure

Again I was struggling not to let myself down and to learn the concepts of the new country. At first everything was hard; I had a lot of difficulties on all my classes due to the lack of reading and understanding the language. I remember when my 7th grade English teacher handed me the book “A Child Called It” by Dave Pelzer; I was stuck in the first page “I’d never realized so many words existed!”(Malcolm X 432).I kept solving my problems by myself, using the dictionary, searching words on the internet, and comparing some Spanish words with English ones. For some reason I didn’t like when people tried to translate and when the school tried to assign me Spanish tutors. I felt that getting help in Spanish wasn’t any good and it just disrupted my learning. Even though school was hard “I refused to fail. I was smart. I was arrogant. I was lucky.” (Alexie 447).I accomplished my goal of passing 7th grade. During the summer I used to go to the library and read books, because I didn’t understand most of them, and I found reading in English innocuous for the first month. After I got the handle of reading and writing once again, I felt confident of myself, and my life came back to normal.

Junior year. My junior year I realized things about myself that I hadn’t previously known. Things I’ve never done before and things people thought I couldn’t do. Situations I thought I wouldn’t be in and there I was. Junior year, I did it.

With a year full of hurdles I was set to overcome, senior year did not seem like the right time for me to defeat my dragon. My introverted qualities have grown tremendously over the course of my life due to traumatic events I have been forced to face on my own. Since adolescence, I have always been known as the “quiet girl” in the room. I always took this as a compliment, until recently, when I realized I was missing out on crucial events that would help prepare me for the future. Through careful consideration, I decided that senior year would be the ideal time to slay my dragon, introversion.

Junior year; considered the most difficult year of high school. Junior year wants to make senior year as relaxing and stress free as possible. Part of this preparation: community service and then writing a paper and making a presentation surrounding that service. Kennedy calls this project the integrated service learning (ISLE) project. For my ISLE project, I built houses in New Orleans through Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization. I found that when hurricane Katrina and the Levis broke it left a tremendous amount left in its wake. Since the trip would knock all my service hours out in a week and I became interested in the project I went and worked on houses and learned a great deal culture and poverty

His shoulder was thrown in reverse and twisted, and left by his body which was driving forward almost completely leaving it behind. He jerked back as if the force would spring his arm back into place. Gravity took over his knees forcing them to buckle and hit the ground. Some might say he looked like newborn deer, fresh out the womb. His arm was left hanging with barely any support at all. His only support was his hand holding it closely to his side as if he could protect it from further harm. His arm looked like a gummy worm...except more flimsy. The adrenaline took over his body like a built in anesthesia, taking his mind off of the pain only for a short time. he didn 't even bother getting up as the other players scrambled to the huddle

I was a failure person from the beginning of school starts. My education was totally change when I was in 9th grade. Because that’s when I move to United States from India. I was not doing good when I was in India. When I was 9th grade in United States it was horrible because I could not know how to speak English. However, I started learning English and the teachers are helped me to speak, write, and reading English. After three months I was doing better on English. Beginning of 9th grade I was failed some subjects and the teachers are help me through all that.

Freshman year, I imagined that year to be amazing. I wanted it to just have an awesome flow but did it? It did in the beginning then a bomb went off during the middle of the year and turned freshman year into a complete disaster. Freshman year was supposed to be about having a great start to the rest of your high school life before you enter the big bad world but other students just couldn't help themselves but to create that bomb during the middle of my freshman year.

Freshman year could definitely be the worst year of High School when it comes to your social life. This is the year where you can expand your friends to more than just people in your grade. This year is also a sad year because it is when you find out who your real friends are. High School is all about gaining new friends and losing what you thought were your friends. When I started my freshman year all I heard when I started was that your real friends will show and you fake friends will vanish. In my case this did not happen. Yes, when I got into Highschool I did grow farther apart to some of my friends, but I would never say that they have vanished from my life or anything like that.

My senior year is so trash but it started being trash like last year so. First trash thing I moved so I had to leave all the people I enjoyed being around. I knew these people weren't my forever friends but the time we had together was great. I lost things like being in the yearbook and my lettermen. I feel like I didn't enjoy my year because everything I wanted was gone at once. Everything I had planned had to change and the people around me that grew up with in school I wouldn't talk too much anymore. Jefferson has plenty of kids who are stuck up and they hate people from winder so yes perfect. I'd rather have been home schooled and look and my parents face all day. So no this wasn't like in the movies this actually sucks and I'm so very

In my Freshman year, I had joined my school’s Leo Club, there were about 20-25 students in this club as it had just started the year before. I became active in that club, volunteering about once every month or so, whenever there were events. In my Sophomore year, I convinced several of my friends to join as well. The club has grown since and last year, I was elected treasurer of the club. As an officer, I help to run all of the meetings and this year we have over 40 new members. The Leo Club was once the smallest club in the school, but now it is one of the largest with nearly 100 members. Our club advisors from the local Lions Organization advise several other clubs in neighboring school districts, but they have repeatedly said that we are

What makes the Senior Class of 2016 different from any other class to graduate from Lenape? All the drive this graduating class ever needs is the wish to impact the world in some way. That goal has driven us all this far and will continue to drive us to the destination we dream of and desire. We all wish to succeed, but sometimes you must fail a few times and learn from your failure. The failures will only make the final success seem greater. The graduating class stands out because despite our failures, we all still have the dreams we will someday reach no matter what obstacles life throws at us all we will ever need is our future goals and dreams.

I’m not going to lie to you. This upcoming year for you will in no way be easy. Sophomore year counts, so make it one of your best. The hard work you are putting in now will be worth it in the end, no matter how harrowing it may be. You will have a successful sophomore year if you remember everything will get better, and if you live in the present along the way.

So far in my Senior year, things seem like they're going by so fast, I mean it's already mid-quarter and it still feels like school just started yesterday! Some things I am doing well to get me to graduation is taking all the classes I need to get whatever credits I need for this last year, participating in Extracurricular activities, and overall just enjoying everything about Senior year as it comes. Things that I catch myself still struggling with is doing all my assignments on time, managing my time between school, chores, and sports, and finally, not being as "on it" as I should be about doing all my school work because it's all going to count if I want to go to college next year. Adjustments that I need to make is being way more

If you had spoken to me seven months ago about my plans for my senior year and for starting my college education, my answer would be different than what it is now. Throughout those seven months, I struggled with my health, causing me to reevaluate how I would reach my goals in life, and if I would ever be able to reach these goals. I had based my entire high school career around being a “scholarship boy” and preparing myself to succeed in college. Instead of continuing this course during the first half of my senior year, I was practically bedridden; only leaving my house for doctor’s appointments. Thankfully, a diagnosis followed by the help of a few avant-garde holistic doctors, gave me my life back by enabling me to return to a semblance

Things that are going on in my freshman year that are good is that i made the varsity baseball team and got my first college offer from pensacola state. Also another good thing that has happened my freshman year is that i was batting over 300. Average with a homerun against Eufaula High. The bad things that have happened my freshman year is that i hurt my back in the weight room because i was lifting more than my body could lift. Also this school year i haven’t been as responsible with my grades and my next three years i plan to be on a honor roll or a b honor roll. My most memorable moment this school year has to be the day that i tripped donny in Mrs.Becks room and he fell on his face I really didint excpect him to fall on his face but he
