My Journey to Graduation Have you ever been the new kid? Have you ever been a new kid to 6 different high schools? Well even if you have been the new kid at least once you know how it feels. The first day you walk into a school you have never been too. Everyone is staring at you. Inside you are freaking out, wondering if you are going to walk into the wrong class or be late. We all know there is lunch during school and this is a hard time for a new student. The first high school I went to was Franklin high school. I remember my first day because I got in trouble for having red hair that was more on the natural side. I was not used to being told I was not allowed to dye my hair. I was wearing skinny jeans with camouflage superman shirt. My …show more content…
Her name was Sky;I had other friends. but usually I have one person that I click with the most. We would sit at that table and talk about the most random things. I liked it here I never even thought that I would move...I was wrong. In the middle of my freshman year...I had to move. I really did not like my moms boyfriend. He just showed up in our life’s about 2 years prior and because of that all of these changes were happening. I started talking to my stepmother about moving in with her and my dad. One night my mom 's boyfriend and I got into an argument. I do not remember what the fight was about because there were so many. I do remember him sitting on top of me screaming at me and pulling my hair and my mom was just standing there not doing anything. Well, he pretty much told me to leave so my stepmother came and picked me up probably at 1 am with no hesitation. I moved into my dad 's house. He lived in Dayton, which is about 30 minutes away. My stepmother was working her hardest to get all the custody papers taken care of. She ran into many problems so when they finally got finished my dad said he was withdrawing me from Franklin. This effected my high school GPA and I will tell you why. I only had to go two more days to take my exams. I did not get to take …show more content…
They never liked the boy that I was dating even though he was a really good person. My mom told me I was not aloud to date or see him anymore. I told my mom she could not do that he is the only person that I could talk to about certain things. She asked what I meant and then I told her that a few months ago when we lived in Madison that my mom’s boyfriend 's son molested me and said he was going to rape me. She said that I was lying because I waited so long to say something, but it had only been about 4 months. The thing is a lot of people that go through anything like this do not go to authorities...they just try to forget it. She told me not to say anything to her boyfriend. This angered me the fact I told her which I was not planning on doing and she says I am a liar and to keep
Walking into Walnut Hills High School right now would have anyone thinking the just walked into the middle of a tornado. Everyone you look there are students running in and out of doors, in and out of cars, and most certainly either turning in missing assignments or retaking tests. There is only one way for you to explain all this ciaos, Senior Year, the year that all teens await with so much excitement and ambition and the year that every single hour long study dates pays off. For the class of 2021 this isn’t just their final year at Walnut Hills this is the year that friends separate and head off to their different university to follow their dreams.
6th grade was not all that bad. That is before the incident however. Going to school was fun for the most part, the classes were difficult, friends were plenteous, and the food was good. Life at Lancaster Country Day School was swell, again, before the incident. Now, said issue somewhat killed my image at the school and saved it at the same time; it also made me question others. Were my friends really my friends? Or did they use me to as a sick and twisted way to formulate drama? I had a friend. I had many friends really, I was friends with the whole 50 people in my grade. But this friend, this friend was different. Her name Mady Gosselin. Yes, the Mady Gosselin from Kate Plus 8. We had been close, I talked to her almost every day. However,
I’m not sure but, I think I was still in what the kids call “the dumb hallway”. After a few months a new student came and we became good friends. We had a lot of thing that we liked, she always dragged me around to people and she was slowly pulling me out of my shell. I was becoming so happy. After a few months, I was in my room and I was thinking back about my life. There were a few tears and I was thinking to myself, what I was doing. I came to realize I didn’t have it bad as other people; I wasn’t the only one that was lonely. I went to sleep after that I found out it was 6:00 so, what I did was went down stairs and went to my garage. I went down there because, there was a punching bag sitting there to relive my stress. After, hour my grandma came down and said to
My transition to college was successful, but it was nonetheless one of the most stressful times in my life. Unlike many of my peers at Saint Louis University, my rural high school experience did not truly prepare me for the academic rigors of college. Despite extensive preparation, I performed rather poorly on the first round of exams. While I didn’t fail any particular exam, my performance was seriously lacking. I knew that getting C’s on exams would not serve me well in the pursuit of my dream of becoming a physician. I remember feeling, for the first time in my life, that I was unintelligent and incompetent. I was also heavily fatigued from the excessive hours of studying, which I felt were necessary to reconcile the problem. I managed to
My middle school years I attend D.A. Hulcy middle. In middle school, I became a problem child. Everyone knows kids can be cruel so one girl would pick on me about my voice every day. One day I got so mad and fought her it was like she woke a sleeping giant after that day I stayed fighting. Then started skipping class which turned into skipping school. Then I got in my first relationship in eighth grade and he stayed on me about school and fighting. He helped me change my attitude about a lot of things and still to this day in grateful for him. We broke up before high school because we were going to different school in different areas. I decided D.W. Carter High
Starting high school is tough for some people. Moving to a new city is also tough for some people. Or me I had to deal with both. I can remember my very first day of high school, I was so nervous. I didn’t make any friends over the summer so I didn’t talk to anyone. I was pushed out of my comfort zone to talk to people and make new friends. A few months into school I received my first interim. It wasn't the greatest but , I blamed it on my transition to high school and promised that
When I was a Child, I have never stopped wondering what it would be to fly in the sky. I had tried to jump from sofa or bed with an opened umbrella in my hand,and imagined myself as a flying bird. As I grow up, those wonderful fantasy become faded in my brain. I still like flying, and I had experience something like helicopter tour, but never a real fly. I always have the thoughts to explore life, to experience
My first day was great, all we did was get introduced and didn’t do any work. I was nervous at first because I thought that I would walk into a wrong class. I think everyone thinks high school is serious, but we all will remember “good morning Hollister high, today’s lunch is a hot dog.” There’s not much difference between middle school and high school.
Have you ever been nervous and excited for something at the same time? That is how I felt during my last year of high school leading all the way up to graduation. I had never sat down and figured out what I wanted to do with my life; I would always pick something then switch to something else almost immediately. Graduation day was that epiphany for me that I really had no idea what I was going to do with my life even though I was accepted to LSU and declared a major in Computer Science.
When you try really hard but fail is a lot better than never trying. Making decisions is a huge part of anyone's life because you make them every day. Calling in sick to work to go hangout out with your friends is not as bad as it seems. I work 5 days a week that means I really only have one day out of the week to go do something with my friends. It was a nice cool Friday night and a group of people were going out for the night to a amusement park.
A first day at a new school can always be scary and nerve wrecking. Starting a new school can seem as if making new friends will be almost impossible. In the end a new school calls for new experiences and new friends.
It was one of the most exciting and nerve racking days of our lives. Although we were finally leaving high school, the feeling of being unsure didn’t go away. The whole day was full of practicing for the big moment when the entire class graduated on to a new beginning. All the girls wore shiny bright red robes and the guys were dressed in a shiny navy blue. Standing there, I had no idea what to expect. Some things I were aware of, my friends were leaving and we wouldn’t be the same friends anymore. My role was that of being so aware of the future that I was too shocked to soak in the present; being a pessimist was my main goal and everything I was sure of became true.
...new classes, I soon realized what would be the biggest challenge of college: deciding on a major. Yes, I am one of those people who started college without first declaring a major. I soon heard every question, suggestion, and response regarding possible options. I even began concocting false majors to throw some people off. Large-Scale Demolition was a crowd favorite.
I had never cried or not wanted to go to school. In the beginning, I was very shy and used to whisper everything in the teacher’s (Rosa) ears. I was very particular about keeping my footwear clean, while polishing shoes, I polished underneath too. My friends were artistic and were interested in art and music. In middle school, I had an amazing teacher. She was very friendly and helpful to all of us. My friends were really fun to hang out with and we clicked since the beginning. They shared the same interests with me like reading books, dancing, writing, etc. We used to bunk our art classes and play games in the class. I still talk to most of them, thanks to technology. The school once took us on a 5-day camping trip nearby and it was the best part of middle school. I loved the time spent with my friends, we shared so many secrets with each other. My favorite memory is when they took us to a beach. None of us had beach clothes so we all went into the water in our school uniforms. It was an amazing
Most freshmen like me that enter the school are scared. I think the first week of the school is the easiest since there would not be a lot of homework and what you need to do is to listen to what you need for the class and know other people well in the class. But I am wrong, as soon as you get seated on your assigned seat, new teachers start to introduce themselves and start giving tons of homework. As the bell rings, I start rushing to my next class hoping that I wouldn’t be late. The first day of school is always the hardest since you don’t have any new friends and you have to sit in the cafeteria alone when it is lunch time. As day starting to go by, I found myself getting earlier and earlier to class. Talking starts to increas...
