The Wildest School Day
One foggy morning I woke up and got ready for school. Last night my two friends Kameron and Noah stayed with me. We stayed up until 4 o’clock in the morning, we were very tired. We are on our way out the door to catch the bus and when we get out there, we notice that the bus had already passed. I can already tell that dad is going to be mad. To begin with, dad takes us to school and gets mad that we missed the bus. So we go into the school and eat breakfast. Then we go upstairs to our regular classes. Well the day went by pretty fast, it was almost time to load the buses and go home. Everyone is leaving the school including the teachers. The only person still at the school is the janitor. As of right now all of the
When the first bell rang, they noticed that there was no sub coming. Karen went to the office, but she never told them about the missing sub. Because Karen is the class president, she told them to do what Mr. Fabiano left for the sub. When it was music, Rachel felt like singing with the rest of the class. Then Katie entered to get the book club orders. Tim told her about not having a sub. She didn't believe him. Then Morgan came and Karen told him about them not having a sub. He actually believed her. Then he messed around and left. When it was lunch they decided to tell all of 6th grade. Then, Bastian left to tell his friend, John about the missing sub. When they came back, they all started to play Doom 3 while the girls read. They all decided to do a rock rituals for Bastian’s last day of school. They all passed the rock around telling a memory until Rachel told a memory about him teasing Tommy Feathers.Then Bastian threw the rock and left the class crying. Then everybody was writing about Tommy Feathers death. When Bastian came back to the class, they all went to an assembly. Then, Bastian told Sean that he could keep Barkley. When they called all the teachers up to the front, they all looked at
Students should always have daily recess. “Recess provides an essential component of a child’s education and developmental needs” (The Effects of Pre-Correction and Active Supervision on Recess Behavior of Elementary Students). “Recess is defined as a regularly scheduled period within the school day for physical activity and play that is monitored by trained staff or volunteers. Recess periods should not be a replacement for physical education classes. Recess is a period of time when students are encouraged to be physically active and engaged with their peers in activities of their choice” (Strategies for Recess in Schools).
It was the winter of 2009, my siblings and I went to go play in the snow. We went to the backyard, and in order to go to the backyard we had to jump the fence. We were having a great time; we made a snow fort, had a snowball fight, but when we were playing tag my brother tripped and twisted his ankle. We were going to take him back inside so we were about to leave but, he couldn’t climb over the fence and it was buried in the snow so we couldn’t move it. My friend Caleb, and his sister heard and we tried to move the fence together. Eventually they gave up, and went back home because their mom was calling them. Which made me kind of angry, but I realized that ninety five percent of friends don’t have that bond that family does. We stayed with
It all started on a warm sunny day, my dad had just arrived from Michigan. He came into the house gave my siblings, my mother and me a hug and told us the big news. “We are moving to Michigan” he said. He said it so calmly as if expecting my siblings, my mother and myself to react in a good way. Immediately I started to panic, I didn’t want to leave the place I grew up in. I was only eleven years old, I didn’t know how the people in Michigan would be. Finally I spoke “ I don’t want to move dad, I love it here!” which he responded with “I’m sorry but we are going to move because we can’t afford to live here anymore” He said this so emotionless as if not knowing how this could affect me. I hardly got any sleep that night for the fact that my parents were arguing for what felt like all night, but in reality was just an hour.
That day it went by to fast my brother and I tried spending as much time as I could with my dad. That night I went to bed sad I didn’t know if i would wake up in time to say goodbye to him. That morning I woke up and ran to see if my dad was still here. I ran into the kitchen first where I saw him eating ready to leave. He said that they were going to pick him up in ten minutes. Next thing you know we here a knock on the door. I went to answer the door it was some men in uniforms they were there to pick my dad up. My dad said goodbye to us I started to cry when he was leaving and so did my brothers and mom.
Royalton High School follows a 7 period day schedule, 50 minutes class periods, typically 5 days a week beginning at 8:15am and ending at 3:22pm. A regularly scheduled day consists of seven four minute passing periods and a 15 minute homeroom at the end of the day. Homeroom is not considered as a scheduled class, and even though it is not required, it is still beneficial to many students. The sole purpose of homeroom is to inform students of extracurricular activities, scholarships and college visits, the announcements, and reduce class absences.
The night felt like forever, I just wanted to get out of that apartment I did not want to stay there anymore. School that morning could not come soon enough, I hate school but anything to get me out of that situation I was ready to go. Once arriving at school I realized how hard it was going to be to focus. What kind of dad just ups and leaves? What is mom going to think about this? I should
So this is where my story takes off. It was just a normal fall day in November of 2011. I woke up ate cereal and said bye to my dad not knowing I would never see him again. I rode my bike to school with Zack. He wasn’t just any friend, he was my best friend we hung out every day we did everything together. Back to what I was saying it was just a regular day going to school at the end of the day my principle called my teacher and said that I was too come to the
My father drops me off at school on a Saturday morning at 7:00 am with me fully dressed in the brown and turquoise snowsuit my mama had gotten me a few days before. As we pull into the elementary schools parking lot we see a dozen of other kids fully dressed to go on the ski and snowboarding trip like myself. I have never gone skiing before but I'm sure it will be fun, Daddy says that once I learn we can go up to the Bogus ski resort as a family. I say goodbye to my daddy and wish that he would be the one picking me up later that night when we get back but he has to take care of my baby sister Anna since Mama is gone. She won't be gone for long though, because she is coming back home tomorrow or the next day. Whenever the weather is good for
The school day did not start out as the normal routine and I was not used to this. I came in the classroom, set my backpack in my cubbie, and the teacher was watching the television screen. I cannot recollect what my teacher told the class about the events. Either I was too young to remember what she said or I was not paying attention. After everyone settled down, Mrs. Scholar began the school day. I remember some kids were leaving school. Their parents came and picked them up after just dropping them off an hour ago. Some of my classmates did not come to school that day at all. I
One ‘mundane’ thing that I find marvellous is a day because my interactions are effecting people and showing who I am as a person. I have the power to learn about all sorts of things and finding out more about the world and how it works, giving me the chance to learn and create. Anyone can change in a day and can influence who someone become as a person, and a day gives anyone the power to influence anything. Although all the things that a single day can influence it can still be seen as mundane because there are so many days in a lifetime to a point where people get bored. The power that a ‘mundane’ day can give someone is crazy, I have the power to effect so many things in the present and I find that marvellous.
No one was getting along, and he was drinking more after the death of my grandfather. We had been is Yosemite for a few days and it was our last night. We decide to go eat dinner and play cards together. From the start he had already made fun of my brother and had been putting my mom down. So much so, that before I could finishing dealing the cards, eli was leaving and my mom was silent. I forgot what I said now, but I remember the response, and the look I got. After I heard the words everyone stopped moving. I held half the deck in my hands, Eli stood, half way through pushing in his chair, and my mom looked up in shock. He didn't say anything else to me, just stared. At first, I don't think I really processed what he said, but that night I really thought about it. I realized then that my dad was truly gone. He wasn’t a dad anymore, he was a strange, someone I no longer knew. I promised myself that week that I need to grow up, and let go of the believe that my dad was suppose to be someone I looked to for advice and help. Now, I do most things for myself. It hurts the most when I see my brother. He used to be so fun, and outgoing, and now, I can see the impact my dad has had on his feelings. It hurts because he has had to grow up earlier that I had to. I’m still not quite there yet, and I still struggle a lot with everything, but I'm figuring things out, and needless to say, I grew up that
Over the past 20-25 years, recess has been cut back in some schools and completely cut back in others. Students do need recess because studies shown by Newman and Colleague that through outdoor activities, students can learn valuable methods for managing school- and family-related stress. Additionally, recess also increases social skills. According to Jarrett 2003, “Recess may be the only opportunity for some children to engage in social interactions with other children.” Although recess may use up valuable time for learning, it is not an applied explanation.
As I walked towards the lounge room to watch television (as I do every morning as a nine year old) I was stopped by my mum who was sat outside the lounge room door, I asked “what are you doing” “shh, dad is doing his job interview” my mum whispered. My dad was in an interview with a person who worked for a company in Australia to get a job. I was so excited, I knew my dad would get the job because he is very smart and he was the only one interviewed by the company because he had the best CV. That’s how good my dad is. After a couple of hours my dad had finished and we were aloud in to the lounge room to talk with him and to just be nosey. The first thing my dad said was “we’re moving to Australia” of course I was ecstatic but, Cai wasn’t exactly buzzing over the idea. For the next few days my dad said to not tell a soul as nothing was finalised yet, but I knew he was lying so me being Dylan, I went and told all of my friends but only the ones I had 100% of my trust in, but after all none of them believed me anyway so it
I don’t remember much about that day. That day led to a lot of bad things and dark days. I was in middle school, 14 or 15. I was feeling a little bit better after i woke up. I had already been gone for a week or more. It start out as a normal morning. I ate breakfast, got dressed, and did all of the essential things to get ready for school. My sister was already ready. She was going to highschool at that time. My brother was isolated in his room, my father was asleep. My mom is always up when we get ready to go to school. That was no surprise. Smokie one of our cats at the time was really old. My mom was was sitting on our couch using her computer. The smell of freshly brewed coffee was in the air. The sun was just coming up, but it was
