Final:It was around the middle of fifth grade, and my family had just moved (ugh). (annoyed and sad voice)This meant, new school, new friends, new,.. new(angry) (move hands) EVERYTHING! I (point at self) was going to be the(“) “new kid” at school today. It was almost time to head out, I found myself sitting on the couch, frozen and lifeless (plop down on chair),(exhale).(move back to narrator),but what was going on in the inside? my brain,( point at head) (wait) was a WHOLE nother story.(pace back and forth). How? How?, (stop) How will I make new friends? (wave hands), (back and forth think),(stop).What am I getting myself into!!?,(look at audience) ”I don’t even know anyone!”(out of breath)(close eyes)(move back to narrator) Trying to calm myself down, I began to stare at the clock like a HAWK. Witnessing each tick AND tock, that went by, (say tick, tock, tick tock)(nervous hands)It was like that menacing clock back there (point to clock) clock was counting down till the end of my life.
As he reaches the top of the long narrow stairs, he is suddenly faced with a microphone. With a nervous look and sweaty palms, he slowly makes his way to the mic then stops. The microphone is black and cold to touch. Then he looks up to find that he is in front of hundreds of people watching him like a hawk. For two or three minutes, he focuses on the large patient crowd who are anxious to listen to him. Before he begins, he suddenly realizes that he is in front of thousands of people instead of hundreds. His eyes widen as the butterflies in his stomach begin to swirl madly in a circle. Eventually he starts to talk. “Hello everyone” pause “I w-w-w-would” pause “would like to, um, I w-would like to introduce myself. My name, name is Alex”. For
...ce during sunset. My mother rests her head on my grandma's shoulder, my uncle puts his arm around my sister, I clutch my cousin's hand. We are all lost in the sky, in its bigness and our smallness, in the simultaneous senses of timelessness and of time slipping away. As the last sliver of sun ducks under the horizon, we count down together: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
My heart was beating and my hands were sweating. My teacher asked me a question and I wanted to cry. I didn’t know how to say my response in English and was afraid of the other kids making fun of me because I thought my accent was too strong. All the students stared. “Just answer the question” one girl murmured. Every day I’d sit in the same seat without talking. And even though I had spent a month in the same classroom I felt uncomfortable being there. I moved to the United States from the Dominican Republic when I was twelve. I knew the word for “mariposa” was “butterfly,” and I knew how to introduce myself, but that was about all. Some people would even become frustrated due to the fact they couldn’t understand me, or the other way around. Knowing how they felt about me not being able to communicate made me want to shut myself off from them.
If there was a turning point in my life, it probably occurred around my freshman year of high school. Before this year began I has recently received the sacrament of confirmation in the Catholic church. In my church this sacrament is seen as a final step in the process of attaining full membership into the church. We believe that through it you receive certain special gifts and insights. I broach this event because something definitely changed in me after this process. Up until freshman year I had struggled to even get all A's. I'd usually end up just shy of all A's. Suddenly, in freshman year, something just clicked. I was off to a fairly good start with all A's. Something else had changed during this year that probably affected this trend. During
My name in is Sanger Rainsford and I am applying to work at the anti-hunting support group for animals, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). I have the passion to advocate for those animals that are hunted on a daily basis by humans. Animals don't have the voice to say their feelings, so I will. I am able to understand first hand both the hunter and the hunted’s perspectives.I am able to see both sides because I was a hunter, I loved it in fact. But, I was also hunted. And I hated being the hunted.
Sunday mornings used to consist of lethargic snuggling underneath oversized thermal blankets while binge-watching Netflix for hours with family. Weekends were my favorite because it was the one time during the week I was able to laze in the comforting presence of my mother whom I rarely encountered because of her hectic work schedule. Since my parents divorced when I was only about five years old, I was raised by a hard-working single mother for the majority of my life, 2,614 miles away from my estranged father whom I rarely talk to except on birthdays and national holidays. Not only did my mother have to balance supporting me, but also my grandfather in the Philippines who was in critical condition after his third stroke in May of last year. My aunts and uncles could not cover the medical expenses on their own, so my mother invested as much as she could for the sake of her father. The distress and devastation my mother
With my growing experience in the modern day educational system, I have developed many deep opinions towards my education. The gripes that all students make about homework and tests are expected from a student like me, but obviously my list is ever-changing with the constant reforms towards a vast technological society. As computer’s roles rapidly grow in our society, our education system must also rapidly adapt to the changes. As a result, the integration of one-to-one technology here at Jefferson High School has only complicated my learning and fueled the fire to anxiety built by school. In addition to the technology upswing here at Jefferson High School, my classes have become solely about taking me to the next level in my life. The push
It was the second semester of fourth grade year. My parents had recently bought a new house in a nice quite neighborhood. I was ecstatic I always wanted to move to a new house. I was tired of my old home since I had already explored every corner, nook, and cranny. The moment I realized I would have to leave my old friends behind was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I didn’t want to switch schools and make new friends. Yet at the same time was an interesting new experience.
I had achieved something. I conquered an impediment in my life. Something that was a burden to me since I said my first word. For seven years I was plagued by my inability to speak normally. After a school change and hours upon hours of speech therapy, I was able to talk normally. This accolade in my early life opened a door for me, and it also inadvertently shut one.
The one event that transitioned me from a child to an adult is when my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. This has been a long, tough period for my family but it has forced me to become the adult version of myself, and helped me realize I must take care of my grandmother. It also taught me a valuable lesson that helped me transition into an adult.
It was a gloomy Tuesday despite the fact that it was late August. I had missed the first day of school because I always hated the idea of introductions and forced social situations during those times. I hated my particular school ever since I started as a freshman the
I came to the united states when I was only seven years old. We were staying in my mom’s cousins house to live. It was weird to be living with people that yes, they were family but never seen before. We were coming to the U. S cause my younger sister had a tumor in her head and there was better doctor here. Being in the U.S there’s a better technology and medical resources that were going to help cure my sister.
The morning of August 4, 2016, Juliann woke up excited and nervous. She put on the perfect outfit she picked out the night before. Juliann did her make-up and hair, as butterflies danced in her stomach. She practically ran to the bus stop and impatiently waited for her bus. As the bus rounded the corner, she realized tears filled her eye. Overwhelmed with fear and excitement Juliann boarded the bus to begin her first day as a freshman. During the first three weeks of Juliann's freshman year, she made new friends, learned new procedures, and worked to learn how to use a chromebook.
It is exactly seven in the morning. My alarm erupts with a harsh blast, and I am roughly dragged from the world of dreams to drudge once more through the world of the living. I wipe the sleep from my eyes, and contemplate for a moment escaping back into the world of sleep – how sweet would it be to fall back on the bed, close my eyes, and drift once more through my dreams. Perhaps if I were more alert, I could have dramatized the situation, “To sleep, perchance to dream”. But frankly, I'm not awake enough to quote anyone (with perhaps the exception of Shel Silverstein), only awake enough to stumble headlong into the shower with the deepest hope that I can, with hot water, rectify my current state. I can't. The water is not arousing but soothing, relaxing my muscles and lulling me back into my quiet place of reprieve. I am a poltergeist, raised forcibly from my sleep by some ungodly force, and ready to do battle with the world
Do you ever think on new years eve “This year is going to be great!” But then it ends up terrible? Well I can relate to that. In 2016, I experienced failure. Failure in myself. I never expected to let myself down so bad. Let me start with why i experienced failure or how certain situations led me to failure. 2016 was the year when i lost many people to death and thought it was the most amazing idea to give up. 3 days into 2016 and i lost my uncle. 2 months later i lost my grandma that i haven’t seen ever since i was 4-5 because she lived in el salvador. Oh wait, then i thought my grandmas death would’ve been the last one i would have to go through for a while. But no, i lost my brother 6 months after due to an “accidental” shooting. I loved all of them and never wanted
