Sunlight poured through the window into my small, tidy room and woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes, and as soon as I remembered what was going to happen today, I instantly jumped out of bed, sprinted to my closet, picked out my favorite dress, and quickly changed into it. It was teal, my favorite, and had gray polka dots. I rushed to do the rest of my daily morning routine except I took my time brushing my teeth because, I don’t know about you, but I don’t want cavities. I raced to the stairs, but thank goodness I caught myself before I ran down. If I had tripped, I could have broken both my arms causing me to not be able to write, causing me to get bad grades when school comes again, causing people to think bad of me, and call me things …show more content…
I was with Abby. She had just embarrassed herself in front of the whole class by answering an easy question completely wrong. Some mean kids came up to her and called her stupid and asked her why she was able to make it into kindergarten in the first place. I felt so bad for her because if it were me, I would be very hurt, but she told me that to her it had been just mean people saying mean things that won’t even hurt you if you don’t believe their opinions. As I remembered this time I realized that I shouldn’t care about others’ mean opinions and finding my friend was way more important than protecting myself from some silly opinions. So I ran immediately out the door and searched for my friend. I searched up and down the sidewalks and roads that were cold and wet from rain. I searched for about an hour until I saw Abby. She was soaking wet, cold, and depressed. She was hidden behind some dark green bushes. I sat right next to her and said as sincerely as I could, “I’m so sorry. I should have been a better friend and comforted you. I was just worried about the things you might think of me, but when I remembered what you said to me back in Kindergarden, I realized that I was being
The night before, I didn’t practice my English so I knew what to say. By now, I knew most of the words, so I would just let my heart guide me. Besides, my cramped old house, which is actually just a junky garage in an abandoned alley, is too small to let out my feelings. Once I got to school after a cold walk in the snow, I placed myself by her locker and waited. Fourteen minutes had gone by, and still no sign of Lily. I only had a minute to get to class now, so I hurriedly collected myself and ran to my locker. I was disappointed, knowing that without Lily here, it would be the hardest day of school. I opened my locker and to my surprise a note fell to the floor. I quickly picked it up and gazed at the neat handwriting that clearly spelled my name.
Who I think I am? I’m not exactly sure who I think I am or how to describe who I think I am. I tend to act differently around certain people. Constantly changing to try to seek approval. Constantly in fear of accidentally doing something wrong; that I might say something wrong and all my friends will abandon me or leave me for someone better. I think this fear came from when my best friend was taken from me. I had known her since preschool, but she had met another girl and she stopped talking to me completely. I’m in constant fear that this will happen to me again, so I struggle to be accepted. I don’t want to be forgotten again.
Within my fifteen and a half years of living, I have experienced many heart wrenching moments that have changed who I am, so many that I stopped trying to keep count long ago. Like most teenagers, the past couple of years have been some of the most confusing, hectic years of my life. I'm at that age I'm trying to figure out who I am, as well as who I want to become. As indecisive as I am, I will more than likely change my mind a time or two, but right now at this very moment, I've finally come to terms with who I really am, and what I would like to do for the rest of my life.
The sound of my alarm buzzed while I struggled to get out of bed. I wiped my eyes and got out of bed. My mind was packed with thoughts and emotions. That day was a very special day for me. I had prepared for that day for months if not years. Just thinking about it, made me nervous. It was tryout day for the high school golf team. Even though I was on varsity since freshman year, I was still nervous because there was always the possibility that you can get booted if your performance is sub-par. After staring at the wall for a solid minute, I shook myself out of the trance I was in and continued with my routine. Minutes passed, and I was ready to go to school. I loaded my car up with my clubs and started for school. I had a hard time keeping
Anna, a white girl with blond hair with purple ribbons in it threw a piece of bread at me. Why would she do that? Why is that amusing to the other white kids? The bus ride became nerve-racking. Walking into the school was even more stressful.
Well, who really am I? Am I rude, strict or obnoxious? Or am I loving and caring? Think and know me better.
The third maddening buzz of my alarm woke me as I groggily slid out of bed to the shower. It was the start of another routine morning, or so I thought. I took a shower, quarreled with my sister over which clothes she should wear for that day and finished getting myself ready. All of this took a little longer than usual, not a surprise, so we were running late. We hopped into the interior of my sleek, white Thunderbird and made our way to school.
Today was like supposed to be just like every other day. On another early Monday morning, just like every time I had to get up 2 hours before school, I woke up and went downstairs for breakfast at 6:30. I clean the mess from last night’s dinner with my brother and get ready to go with my carpool to school, because just like every other day, gas is expensive. Funny thing about the carpool, which comes at 7:00 sharp, 7:30 came and she didn’t show up, Therefore, we ended up waking up my father and dragging his tired angry self to school. I had forgotten my wallet at home, so I wasn’t going to have lunch and I didn’t eat breakfast either. Around 11:00, I start my pre-calculus class where we are doing long division of polynomial functions when it hits me.
Alina pretended as if nothing happened and said, “Good morning, Mom,” Julie’s eyes lingered around Alina as if wanting to say something, but in a second she turned away and resumed reading the newspaper. Alina quickly got ready for school wanting to refresh her mind with the fresh morning air. “Have a good day Alina!” said Julie as soon as Alina stepped out on the front porch. She began to walk towards the traffic light with tons of thoughts swarming in her head.
BEEP BEEP BEEP! I reached over to smack my alarm clock wondering why it was going off when I realized that the it was the first day of school and that Leila and I were going to steal Laura’s parking spot. I quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. I did my morning routine which consisted of washing my face, brushing my teeth, and then applying a little amount of makeup which was mascara and if I needed it some foundation and that was usually very rare. I then made my way back to my room trying to be extremely quiet
Once I got to school I was immediately pushed into one of the lockers, I looked up to see Lexi and the slut quad, a name I had given them, despite how mean and slutty they were
Once upon a time, I saw the world like I thought everyone should see it, the way I thought the world should be. I saw a place where there were endless trials, where you could try again and again, to do the things that you really meant to do. But it was Jeffy that changed all of that for me. If you break a pencil in half, no matter how much tape you try to put on it, it'll never be the same pencil again. Second chances were always second chances. No matter what you did the next time, the first time would always be there, and you could never erase that. There were so many pencils that I never meant to break, so many things I wish I had never said, wish I had never done. Most of them were small, little things, things that you could try to glue back together, and that would be good enough. Some of them were different though, when you broke the pencil, the lead inside it fell out, and broke too, so that no matter which way you tried to arrange it, they would never fit together and become whole again. Jeff would have thought so too. For he was the one that made me see what the world really was. He made the world into a fairy tale, but only where your happy endings were what you had to make, what you had to become to write the words, happily ever after. But ever since I was three, I remember wishing I knew what the real story was.
Although many events have changed me and made me who I am, this one particular event sticks out like a sore thumb. A couple of weeks ago I lost someone who meant a great deal to me. He was my great grandfather Lee Wilkinson. I know everyone at some point in their lives loses someone they care about, but when it happened to me I was in shock and didn’t quite know what to do. It was like someone taking a piece of you away, but the piece they took away from me was a big one. I was angry, sad, worried, and wondering how on Earth people get through something like this. But one of the most prominent emotions I felt was regret. I regretted that I didn’t listen to his stories closely enough that I didn’t talk to him enough. My advice to you is to take advantage of the time you have with someone, because you will not have it forever.
Introduction: My Personal Brand We all have it. It is the self, the face, the ego, and the image we present to others every single day. It is the person we think we are and the individual we communicate to others. It’s our very own, personal brand.
It was just another day of my life. The fourth ring of my alarm woke me up. As usual, I was not feeling to go in school. I slept a couple of more minutes.After while, the shine of the sun coming from the window woke me up.I slowly stretched my arms and slid out of bed. I brushed my teeth and took the shower. Downstair,my mother was calling me for breakfast.I was still undecided what should wear for school. After browsing for while I found something to wear,and finished getting myself ready for school. When I checked the clock, I was running late as usual, which was not a surprised. I quickly ate my half sandwich and left the rest of the sandwich on the table.I took my car key, jump in my black Lexus and made my way to school.During my way to school, I got a call from my friend John. John is my best friend since when we were in middle school. He told me that his car was broke down and he needed to ride to school. Fortunately, my friend house on my school way. I told my friend. I am on my way to pick you up from your house. As I got there, john come out from his house and jumped in my car. With sound of Drake singing and music blasting, it was a
