Recommended: The importance of personal choice

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. This was the last night of the event and myself has not been this year, but I had to work that Friday night. Now the first thing I thought of was oh I can't go I have to work. Now a high school job is not a life-changing job it is a source of money and to build character, Calling off is not a huge

    A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes. However, deciding what experience to talk about was challenging because I have already experienced so much in my seventeen years of being alive from dislocating my hip when I was three, to seeing my grandfather die in front of my eyes, from almost tripping off of the trail on the Grand Canyon, to meeting band members at an airport. Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to choose, I had no

    When I was entering into High School, I tried to join as many clubs as I can, since I wanted not only to be superior in grades, but also extracurricular activities. So as usual, I joined Key Club. At first volunteering at the events was fun, but as I went to more events, it felt as if it was a chore. I did not feel any passion; it was rather tiresome.

    One of the biggest lessons I've learned is to never give up and that everything in life happens for a reason. Throughout my entire life my dreams have been put down by society, wether it was a coach, friend, or family member. Everything I gain is because of me and only me. When I started my first year of high school, I knew I wasn't ready to maintain my academics, my social life, and my sports schedule all at once. I was completely intimidated by everything occurring in my life at the time.

    The last couple of years have been a long bumpy ride for me, as they have for everyone my age. No matter what, everyone has experienced many of the same "teenage" circumstances as I have and has dealt with them in their own way. As a personal participant in this "game", we call life, I would say I worked hard for and earned first place. That is just my creative view on things. Too bad, not everyone sees it in the same light as I do.

  • Regional Band Competition

    The situation was insane. Not only did I have to make time in the busy schedule of my junior year to take a few days off from school to attend the District One East High School Band Festival, but I actually had to audition to get a decent seat. Don't get me wrong; I was thrilled about attending. I just wasn't looking forward to having to make up two day's worth of schoolwork. For once, I would be attending a festival where the seating arrangement wasn't based on how fast you could sprint to the stage from your seat in the auditorium, but on how talented of a musician you were. And the music for the audition? Amazingly difficult. I knew many of the other students from other competitions and festivals, so I was familiar with their talent and ability. Based on that knowledge, I decided that I had no chance of placing higher in the rankings than, say, a jar of mayonnaise.

    Our job was to help those students feel less stress, more at home in a new school before the school year started, and to know what to expect when they showed up to school on their first day. While many students decide to participate in this at some point, I decided to participate each year that I could after I had experienced no one helping me know what to expect as I transitioned to junior high. I remember the amount of fear I had experienced showing up the first day and after that incident, I felt no one deserved that feeling in a mandatory transition and I wanted to help those that I could from being in that
