High School Trifles

A person that helped and encouraged me to learn was my high school counselor Mrs. Bell. Back when I first started high school I had a challenging time adjusting. During my freshman year all I was focus on was hanging out with my friends, cutting class, and goofing around. My behavior became so counterproductive to my education, by the end of my first year of high school I accumulated zero credits. Knowing this, my attitude was settle on the idea that I wasn’t going to graduate with my peers. Nonetheless during this whole stressful ordeal, she didn’t let me stay in this mindset. She helped develop a plan with all the teachers who classes I fail to come up with a plan to graduate on time.

So, going into my sophomore year that very first day

Bell’s idea on the learning was that if I didn’t make a subject interesting in my own way I wouldn’t have the ambition to take the class seriously. She would have me present her with a short story every Monday for that month, so she could read, and show my mistake I made on them.

Mr. Hatton would explain historical event, question me on it, and I’d answer most of the time I would’ve have gotten the question right. But he wasn’t so much looking for me to give the correct answer so much if we could question those answers. So, when it was my session for Mrs. Bell’s school counseling we would talk about the same topics me and Mr. Hatton talk about. We would debate for most of the session, and there was one conversation we had that I can never forget, we were comparing America to Egypt such as economy, leaders, and religious. And Mrs. Bell said that something to me will never forget” Even though Egypt is credited with being one of the most longest lasting kingdom to ever exist it still crumble. Even through all its great inventions, philosophy, and leadership it still faces the inevitable truth that every kingdom has face in the past. Now America compare to Egypt is relatively young, but my
