Sophomore Year Of My Life-Personal Narrative

The coaching carousel. Once a weird term that seemed a bit harsh is now synonymous with the NFL offseason. Coaches and coordinators are on ever-shrinking leashes so much now that even after a few games of hardship, ownership and management begin to look at a “fall guy” to take the heat. (Perhaps Cris Carter recycled a previous speech he made at an owner’s symposium?) The 2015 offseason was no different as several teams saw changes at the head coach and/or coordinator positions. More often than not, certain individual players see a spike in production as compared to their career averages in year one of a new regime as opposed to any other year under the same coach or coordinator.

In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, innocent lives were taken in the Salem Witch Trials in 1692. Many couldn’t forgive themselves or forgive others, while others suffered their consequences and sentenced to death with regret, but for John Proctor it was different. He wanted to make things right for his wife Elizabeth Proctor and his kids, but most importantly, he wanted to make things right for himself. When a crisis gets to its worst point and his wife is accused of witchcraft he has to choose what is right for the sake of life and forgiveness.

Being a freshman is the hardest of your four years in high school. Have you ever been pressured to be the best person you can be? This is how my year was as a freshman. Freshman year was the most different I never thought I would of found my way around the school when I first started to go there. Freshman year was the best year throughout my years of high school and it was the only year I had friends. During this year I had a lot of anxieties which dealt with me thinking I’m gonna be alone and not have any friends throughout the year to support me through the whole thing. Also, I would think of the pressure of not doing good in any of my classes so I would think it would affect my GPA in the future. The transition from middle school to high school was a different type of thing to do.

The three key best practices concerning listening when working with clients and their families are:

Sophomore year was extremely difficult for me. You know how most people go through a rough patch at some point in their life? Well, that was me all of Sophomore year, everything just seemed too big and scary to deal with, and so I basically put everything off. The guidance counselors always use to say when we were going into high school that we would need to stay on top of things before they started to pile up. I just thought that they were just being dramatic to try and scare us into doing our work, but they really weren’t. By the time I realized this, however, it was a little too late, and I was faced with two options; attend summer school to regain the credit that I had lost, or face my peers when school started up again and be two credits

Sophomore year of high school was a very different experience than the other years of school, mainly because, in English class, we had to use a blog. Most of the time, I used the Chrome browser to access it, but I occasionally used the Internet Explorer browser or Firefox browser. The host of the website was Weebly.com, a company that allows people to create their own website. When we made our blogs, we included many types of essays and reviews to videos or items we saw in class. Often times, this included attaching a hyperlink to a picture or text so that it would be easier to access a certain resource. This class allowed us to learn about certain websites and how they are formatted, like a wiki. Although it wasn’t a good source, we sometimes used Wikipedia because it was the easiest to use and find information about our topics.

Sadness, desperation, and the thought of failure plagued my brain as I went into my second day of Sophomore year in high school. I had grown to dislike school a lot as it felt like all the fun I used to have was slowing diminishing into nothing. As I walked to my next class, I looked down to make sure I had the right room number. I did, it was time for English which I was not looking forward to. But, to my surprise, this English class would change everything

My sophomore summer was ok I really didn’t do many things besides play baseball and mow hay. To begin with I was really excited for baseball to start because it’s my favorite sport, but by the end of summer I was ready for it to be over. Mostly because I started playing baseball in the middle of March and didn’t get over until the end of July.

Imagine: a 99 lbs, 5’4, skinny, shy, ginger kid. Doesn’t seem like the athletic kind does it? This was me as a freshman, and I was really self conscious about myself, granted I was taller than the shortest people who were once taller than me about 2 years ago, I was still skinny and light. I was a good runner, placing 1st in my very first track race, but I hurt my hip during practice and didn’t say anything to the coaches because I was scared they’d say, “Wow, I knew this kid wouldn’t be able to do it, he’s so weak! Just look at him!” so I continued and placed last every race, but I still tried right?

Freshman year was mostly fun for me, but you must watch out for the people who are not really your friend. There are lots of people in this world that act like your friend, but they really aren’t. Those type of people only want to be in your business. I made a lot of new friends, there were a few upperclassman girls that told me high school is scary,and people will not like you if you did these certain things; Stand in the middle of the hallway and talk to your friends, walk slow up the stairs, take forever to open your locker, is not athletic in p.e.. Those are a few of the things I was told as a coming in Freshman. Some of the Juniors would try to start drama with me, but I did not let it affect me. I stayed true to myself and did not let other people bring me down. I stayed laughing and having a good time with my three best friends; Kelsey,Angelica, and Taylin.

During my sophmore year of highschool I began to work over the summer with my dad, i started working in the iron industry with him. I got payed minimum wage and i had to do 4 hour weeks during the summer because of all the free time i had becase of the summer break. I also work during the winter breaks. Since my sophmore year i continuesly go to work during whatever break i have during the school year. Some volunteer work that i have done is that i volunteer at my local church every friday and sunday for two hours every night form 7pm-9pm on fridays and 2pm-4pm/2pm-5pm on sundays. I have been running the sound at the church since august of

My junior year I had taken on multiple advanced courses in addition to working almost everyday after school and it took a large toll on my health. I would come home exhausted and stressed. My parents would urge me to quit my job since they felt that was causing me the most stress, but I was determined to conquer my difficulties. After a lot of time and effort I managed to overcome these obstacles and had success in and out of school. Even though I have proved that I am fully capable of taking on challenges, I wanted to have any extra time I could get in order to explore any other opportunities I may not have been able to be a part of before. I have looked into more volunteer opportunities and have planned out when I am eligible to take part

In my junior year I over thought everything and brought myself down in many aspects. At first I had no intention of doing anything, in all honesty I couldn't care less about coming to school let alone doing work because I had these elaborate thoughts on how whatever I do would hurt me whether it be mental or physical. In all reality by not doing anything, by over thinking that hurt me the most. I slowly tried to get out of the habit of overthinking and not doing anything but it was extremely hard. I lacked the willpower, I lacked the motivation, but most of all I lacked the common sense. I didn't realize that by not doing anything it would really mess me up in the long run. I started to understand what I was doing to myself later in my junior

Junior year was a year of growth for me. Most parents push their children to be into activities but not mine. I struggled through a lot in my life and there wasn't always time of money for activities. Also, my mom wanted me to be my own person, which I am very grateful for but, at the same time, I wish she would have encouraged me to get out there more, but I did it on my own. At the end of my sophomore year, I got my license. Hooray! A day every kid looks forward to. It changed my life. I didn't need my mom to be around to drive me around, which she never was. Being a single parent and running her own business was a hard job for her and it was a lot, so I didn't ask for much. When I got my license, I started to involve myself in everything.

Freshman year was a stressful year. I had to instantly adapt to a new, challenging curriculum. It was a whole new environment for me because I just came out of a private Catholic middle school where I did not really have to think of deciding for myself, and into one of the most prestigious public
