It was on a Friday morning I was on my way to school. I needed to know what my averages for my classes, so I went to all my classes except to my theater. They had all told me I had a 90 and higher in their class. I was so proud of myself that I had good grades in all my classes. Well I still wasn’t sure about my theater one because I could do anything except get on a stage and perform. That was one of my weakness that I knew I couldn’t do. When I got there I saw my teacher, so I went to talk to her. Hey Ms.Wilborn what is my average in your class? “Marilyn you have an 80 in my class.” Ms.Wilborn is there a chance you can give me make up work, because I don’t like the grade I am averaging in your class “Sure but Marilyn you’re doing great
It was my senior year of high school, I was sixteen, getting ready to turn seventeen. It was my senior year of high school. I was not your typical girl wearing makeup everyday and worrying about getting dolled up for school. I did not play sports. Don’t get me wrong, I would get all dolled up if I had something special to do like go to a school dance. I had a part time job at Olive garden because my parents motto was “if you do not play a sport you need to work!” My mom used to say to me “you know Alana back in my time I was not able to work so you are very lucky you're able to work.
It was time for grades to be do in all the classes. So, in every class I went to I did work I needed to do, except when there was a movie in that room. I tried to keep my focus on the work but I get distracted really easy. I usually turned in my work and I only had work to do in one class. I was missing four assignments in that class that was do, so when I got to that class we had option to go to a different class. Well, they were all playing movies except for one I didn't need to go to. One class had a movie I really wanted to finish and then the other rooms had movies that were good, except for the one I needed to go in. It had a movie that was about the book we were reading which I didn't really care for. It was the only class I needed to finish work in. I went to that class and the movie started. Once the movie started I knew I wasn't going to finish the assignments. I worked as hard as I could and tried not to get distracted. The closer it got to the end of class the better I felt about it and the more I believe in myself. By the end of the class I had gotten all my assignments done and I couldn't do it without my parents because they always push my to do my best and reward me if I do. And that was a time when I had to believe in
Nobody was saying anything! That was the quietest it had been the whole period. She then knew the one thing that would make us quiet. It had been a long and good period, but the bell had rang and it was time to go home. Everybody loved Ms. Royall’s monkey bread, so when we got on the bus we had to sneak and eat it. When someone found out you had it, they would want some. It was too good to be sharing it. Sorry! In Ms. Royall’s class she taught all of her students about life and how you can make it in life. She also taught us how to make my favorite dessert. I hope you are now able to make it when you have that sweet
All of the students started walking toward the east field where the lockers were located. Of course Stephanie S. Stufflebeam was near the mermaid fountain closest to Elizabeth’s locker. Stephanie’s honey yellow hair was straightened, her green eyes stared Elizabeth down like a hawk, and she wore a hot pink tube top with a short, short skirt. When Elizabeth came into ear range, Stephanie grabbed a megaphone and shouted: “ Hey, loser! A little birdie told me that your mom got a new job! How much does it pay?” She looked at me hard then everyone else, “what do you all think?”. Her best friend Paige shouted “I bet that stupid, little restaurant that no one goes to and where no one gets paid very much, I mean look at those jeans!”. Everyone started
I remember one time in fourth grade, there were going to be a special performance in school for the mothers, due to mother’s Day celebration. The teacher asked all us students to write something for our mother’s it could be a letter or a poem. I was so excited because I want it to do something special for my mom. I started to write this poem for my mom in which I expressed all my love to her. When I finished with it I gave it to my teacher. She loved it she was very happy with it that I was one of the students chosen to present the poem to my mom during the school performance. I was very nervous during the pre...
This memorable moment happened while I was living in Hawaii. No longer were my parents enforcing a higher standard; I wanted it for myself. I started to implement this higher standard onto myself when I tore my ACL my junior year of high school by doing therapeutic writing to help me get through that hard time. Therapeutic writing led to the immense development in my reading and writing skills. This goes to show that there is always something good that comes out of out of something bad.
I walk past the secretaries’ desks and I can feel their eyes shaming me. As I approach the principal’s office, I hear his gruff voice through the doorway. “Well, I apologize for this inconvenience, Miss Taylor. You are free to return to class.”
High school is supposed to be a one more step closer to college; it’s supposed to be preparing you for the future right? Wrong. My experience in high school was very different; I never quite fit in with anyone, the “friends” that I thought that I had used me for money. Let’s just say when I was a freshman I had a friend whom I knew from grade school, her name was Meghan Lawrence and she was the kind of person who I really believed I could tell her anything and she would keep it to herself. Once again I was proven wrong, I developed a crush on a boy and she knew that I had a crush on him; one morning before class both he and she went to the corner store, she thought it would be funny to tell him all about my crush, which he tortured me with, playing with my emotions, made me feel like he might actually like me back.
The high-pitched ring of the school bell woke me from my light slumber. "I guess my class isn't as interesting as I thought it was. " Mr. Duff stood in front of my desk looking down on me, with these puppy dog eyes as if I had broken his heart. "I'm so sorry Mr. Duff, I-" I cut myself off before I could make a stupid excuse. "I'm just sorry.

“When you do your best, God will do the rest” – this quote is the lamp that guides me, and always will, throughout my life. I apply to many scholarships, and then I just rely on God to bless me with a one. Although I am an honor roll student, I refrain from writing about my academic achievements because most people who are apply for this scholarships are academically successful, and a person with great grades does not necessarily mean he or she is a great person. Instead, I want the scholarship committee to critique my application based off my character rather than my grades.
We had been practicing for months and were ready to present our musical. "I wonder if they will give us a standing ovation" some said, while others asked, "will anyone show up?" Then the curtain rose; looking out into the audience, we rushed onto the stage. It was an exhilarating moment, especially for the first time, to see them laugh and applaud! That was the moment I realized this was what I wanted to do with my life. I realized every rehearsal, every challenge, and all the hard work was worth the effort, and I enjoyed every minute of the performance. At the end of the show we received a standing ovation and people rained flowers and hugs upon us--it was the greatest feeling
Bonnie the secretary introduced me to my new teacher. As Mrs. Bonnie was leaving the room, my new teacher Mrs. Evaheart introduced me to the class. As I stared at the class I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. I wanted to go back to my old school where I had friends, knew almost everyone, a place where I didn’t feel lonesome, a place anywhere but here. As I saw each and every one of my new classmates faces the utter dread that I felt slowly began to fade as I saw a familiar face. Seeing one of my former friends give me a renewed hope that maybe being in this school won’t be so bad after
It was around 11:00 pm during the spring on a school night, and I was working hard on my science project and paper. This paper had a lot of research and so much work to be done. I didn’t know if I was going to finish or if I was going to have a failing grade. All that I
In 7th grade I had to get up in front of my class to get, and present a commercial. I was so scared at first because I am a very shy person. It is not easy for me to speak in front a lot of people. As I waited for my turn I felt like I was going to cry. It felt like my stomach was in my throat. In the end I was scared for nothing because when I went up and did really good. The teacher complimented me on my work. After that day I was so proud of myself for conquering my fear. In 8th grade I finally got on the honor roll, again. I was so happy to be on the honor roll, because I hadn’t been on the honor roll in a really long time. seeing all those A’s made me so happy. I felt the same excitement as I felt in kindergarten when I first gotten on the honor
