Girl Monologue

479 Words1 Page

Ugh, why must it be one’s fate to wake up this early in the morning, my head is banging like a drum up there, I’m starving, I don’t want to go to school, I want to stay at home and do nothing. Sister stop with your complaining, you complain every time you wake to go to school, you don’t see me complaining every day, said a girl with long fuzzy black hair and chubby cheeks. Maybe for you, since you barely do anything and you don’t receive a huge piles of homework like I do. You know something seems very odd, these pants and shirts are shorter than usual and I feel as if they’re trying to trap me. What’s with these shoes now, they fitted perfectly last week, why don’t they go into properly now, why is everything acting peculiar? Girl, why are you blaming us, it’s not our fault you grew, and beside blame those monstrous feet of yours, and stop trying to fit it in if it doesn’t go in, I’m going to tear apart and that’s something petrifying for me. It’s not my fault these hardheaded feet won’t go in. …show more content…

Well I hope I really did, because I don’t want to be short and I believe I’m taller than you, so I’m proud of myself. That same day, I feel as if everything about me has changed, my knowledge seems to grow and I feel as if my brain is starving for more information. My teachers also point out the changes in me such as my voice, height, weight, and the way that I act. The day feels as if a wind has passed by me and turn me into a totally different person and I got to admit, I like the feeling of it. I feel more mature and I act more

  • Pashtana's Lesson Summary

    1519 Words  | 4 Pages

    Pashtana said she would rather die than not go to school and acted on her words. Her education is limited and she doesn’t have all the recourses to make school easier, yet she still loves and wants all the knowledge she can get. While I sit in my three story private school, a clean uniform free of holes or loose seams, my macbook air in my lap, the smell of cookies rising up from the cafeteria, wishing to be anywhere else but there. No one has beat me because I want to go to school, no one has forced me into a marriage, I’ve never put my life in jeopardy for the sake of education. Pashtana’s life and choices made me take a moment to stop and reflect on my own life and how fortunate I am to have what I have. We dread the thought of school because to us it is a chore, it’s a hassle, it’s something that messes with our sleep schedule, it is something that gets in the way of lounging around and binge watching Netflix. Pashtana doesn’t take her school and education for granted because she does not have the same liberties we do. While we enjoy driving into the city and shopping over the weekend, Pashtana unwillingly makes wedding arrangements with her cousin. While we complain about our mom nagging us to clean our room, Pashtana is getting beaten by her father because she wants to learn more about the world. While we have stocked fridges and pantries and

Even though Leo was euphoric with the new Susan Caraway, her shunning was not ebbed. The change did nothing for stargirl but cripple her jovial personality.

They used it to so much that even she started referring to herself as Pocketmouse instead of Susan. But did her parents ever do anything about it? Of course not. She kept the nickname, until she changed it to Mudpie. Then Hullygully. And then Stargirl. But at the time, I knew her as Mudpie.

  • High School Start Times

    766 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most people are cranky in the morning, and there is no exception for students. The fact that over half of these students have such a difficult time socialising in the morning is proof of how big of an issue the start time of school is in the education system. Not only are students more stressed, but they also experience other mood swings due to the lack of sleep that school start times create during the school week. National Public Radio aired a talk with Michelle Trudeau where she spoke on the problems of sleep in the education system. She makes it a point to discuss how having to wake up so early has a direct link to traces of depression in students in most areas of their lifestyle all across the nation ("High Schools Starting Later to Help Sleepy Teens"). This negative demeanour was not only seen by teachers in classrooms at school, but also by the parents of the student. Parents experience this moodiness at home not only after school but on the weekend as a majority of the Saturday and Sunday is spent sleeping in to make up for the student’s lack of sleep. Even more interesting is the affect a lack of sleep has on high school students after they

    I slip my feet in a new pair of Nike sneakers, and try and get a feel for what they are like. My feet are supposedly a size ten and a half. “These are nice, but not what I’m looking for.” My mom chimes is, “Ok, let’s try these. These are cool right? You kids like these don’t you?” She hands me a pair of no-arch Adidas Sambas. Still a size ten and a half. I pop off the other shoes and grip the edges of the shoes as I try and shove them on. The shoes glide on with an odd sense of ease. “They are way too big. I can’t walk without my heel springing out.” Mom says, “It says they are a ten and a half.”
