After a long day at work, I rushed home and called my friends to see if they were ready. I changed into more comfortable clothes and grabbed my keys, phone, and wallet and walked out the front door. As I walked outside, a black Toyota Camry pulls up into my driveway. The driver’s side window opens up and I see the four of my friends smiling and screaming, “KEVIN!!!!!” I smile back and get into the car; ready for the adventure we were about to have.…
Summer went bye like it wasn't even there and by the time school started I was very depressed. The new school I was going to was Naperville North High School which was about ten times the size of my old school in Pennsylvania in size and in the number of students. In my school in Pennsylvania there were about twelve students in each class, here the number runs around thirty two. The school building was so big I had a lot of trouble getting to class on time let alone finding them in the building. The school wasn't what I was bothered by the most because it was the fact that I didn't have any social life and I was a social person. There were a lot of different groups of people at my new high school, it was tough for me to fit in and meet new people. Everyone just knew me as the new kid and didn't even bother to find out what my real name was. The first month of being the new kid is a very hard month of school. I knew no one who I had anything in common with and began to get terrible grades in…
It was my first day. I took a deep breath and walked in the door with a fear of being embarrassed and frustrated. The smell of french toast and egg omelettes for breakfast. I grabbed an ice cold water from the cafeteria and headed to my first class. Kids of all grades were scattered right and left in the halls. Students struggling to open their lockers. Teachers rushed to get their work ready before the students arrived for class. Everything was very hectic and way more different than middle school.…
For me, it all started on the first week of September. All I saw was these big guys playing basketball and soccer and I was wondering whether or not I will be able to fit in. Everyone else was eagerly waiting for the first school bell to ring after like 3 months of summer while I was just standing there looking everywhere as if I was lost. Eventually, all of these started to change as I started to know people better. Thing was, they weren’t as furious or mean as I thought they might be. In the beginning of the school year, I used to nervously switch classes without actually knowing where to go, but now I am familiar with this school like all the others. I managed to develop many new skills and stuff during grade 7. Before I knew it, it was June, grade 7 ended, and to my…
We got to do a lot of shopping and decorating rather than sleepovers and long nights out with the friends. School was just around the corner and I have never had to go into a new school as a teenager and try to make new friends, it was something that made me really nervous and I wasn’t too sure if it was something exciting to be experienced, I just thought if it was anything like my old high school I was not going to be excited. My plan was to go in and only have to take a few classes so I could try and avoid that whole making new friend’s part. I didn’t know how to make new friends; I’ve never had to make new ones so it was a lesson to be learned. My first day of school came quickly I tried my best to make some kind of excuse so I wouldn’t have to go. The school was so much different, it was tiny, one story high and a quarter of the class size of my old high school. I was used to climbing up three stories of stairs like I was climbing Mount Everest and being practically out of air by the time I reached the top. No doubt about it this was a whole new…
It started out like any other day. I got out of bed and scrambled to get out the door after I took an extra hour in the shower. I hopped into a seat next to my best friend Erin. We talked for the ten minute ride before finally arriving at school. I sat down in homeroom waiting for the bell to ring. Brrriinnngggg! I rushed to Mrs. Gregory’s room for Lit. Everything was fine until gym class. I had forgotten my assignment notebook in Mrs. Saphir’s room so I ran back upstairs to get it from under my chair. As I started to walk back towards the locker room I heard the bell ring… late! I walked into the locker room hoping Mrs. Dennis wouldn’t notice my tardiness, but my locker is right next to her office. I quickly filled out a minor for before…
The first few days of junior high wasn’t great. I had no friends and had no intentions on trying to get any. But on the 4th day of school, I was actually getting pretty bored of the no friend thing and decided to hit up with these 2 girls in my gym class. And from there I started being excited of this new school for new beginnings, but there was still anxiety flowing through my…
The first day of school, I was nervous just like any other day, but as the day went…
After I congratulated her, we went to our car where my dad had been. Missing one day of school wouldn’t be so bad right? I mean it’s for a good reason too, MY SISTER CAME BACK FROM MONTANA! That day all we did was celebrate, even Rowdy came to congratulate my sister. I thought Rowdy still really hated my guts, turns out he doesn’t. I guess he missed me which is good because I missed him too. It felt good to have my best friend back.…
We started walking towards the gate and started going towards the side of the school. There we saw all of our friends, and we all started having conversations and getting pumped up.…
Then, I found my friends Katie and Rebecca to walk with me to LAS. My teacher’s name is Ms. Whang. The concept of this class is to make our reading and writing more advanced. I also had seventh period with Mr. Murphy. He is my science teacher. Then, I had social studies with Ms. Caggiano. Luckily, I found both classes fine. Briiiiiiiiiiiiiing! The last bell rang. I ran to my locker and got all the binders I needed for homework.…
The night before school started I could not sleep. No matter how hard I tried I was just too excited. After lying in bed forever thinking about how cool my new school was going to be, I finally fell asleep. In the morning, my dad came in my room and started tickling me to wake me up. He said “Good morning baby girl.” I was sure to correct him right away. I was starting my BIG kid school today; I’m not a baby girl anymore. He just laughed and told me he had a surprise for me. We walked into the kitchen and he had made my favorite breakfast, Chocolate chip pancakes. I don’t think that day could have got any better. As soon as I was done eating I went and put my new dress on and almost…
Everyone has good or unpleasant encounters. During anyone’s life there are encounters that have positively or negatively marked the heart. These encounters have helped some people move forward or backward. I had a special encounter that helped me thought my life as a student to always carry on. That particular encounter that I had was the first day of kindergarten. Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of attending school. Although the first day of school was daunting, it brings wonderful memories to me.…
My first day was an okay day; there weren't so many kids there because the senior’s juniors and sophomores didn't have school that day. My first thought about school was that, I didn't want school to start yet because it was still summer. I was a little nervous at first but when I got there I was fine. I went to all my classes and I thought wow this is going to be hard. I got lost a couple of times because it was a big school and I was new. Then the day after that everybody was here at school and it was very crowed I could barely get to class on time. The first week of high school was pretty easy because we didn’t have a lot to do.…
