I'm six years old, and I'm secretly watching the girls in my class loudly chatting in the corner of the classroom. It's 2008, and I'm quietly sitting on my desk, wondering to myself: "Am I not important enough for a simple goodbye?". I nervously shift on the chair, impatiently waiting for the minutes to tick by. My red sweater is itching against my throat. The teacher came in and we begin class as usual. Ms. Claudia is talking about our final reflections…
The 11th grade is such an exhilarating yet dreadful year of a teens life because it’s the second last year before everything is over, and we go off into the real world. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to experience much of that. Being in and out of hospitals and sporadically thinking about school became almost to impossible for me I was left feeling hopeless. The infrequent days I attended school I got eerie feelings that were unexplainable. To me, there was no hope of catching up in school or even graduating because of constant hospital visits.…

Today I am asked to reflect on my eighth grade year and how it has changed me and my view going into ninth grade. I believe that I have changed a lot since the beginning of the year and I think that a lot of what I learned in eighth grade will reflect in ninth grade. I learned a lot of different things this year that I will carry with me into high school. All of these ranging from simple things like doing your homework, to putting in the most effort.…

In the next school year, it is imperative that you become more academically responsible and motivated to complete your school work. Your excessive absences and tardies are also hindering your academic progress. Please begin to communicate with your teachers to express any misunderstandings or address any questions or concerns you may have. As you enjoy your summer break, consider what you want your future to look like and what you should begin to do now to realize those goals. With some changes next year, I believe you can experience growth as both a student and young…
What grade were you in? The teacher I choose to write about is a High School educator whose name is Mrs. Wright. I had her from my sophomore through my senior year. She was the resource teacher for these grades. I have test anxiety, have has it since I was a young child, and she could get me through without having a panic attack or having to go to the ladies room to puck. This woman was always there to support me while I work through the good and tough times in school no matter what it was. A kindhearted woman, that truly cared, no matter who you were, and what problem you may be facing. She always put a smile on your face and happiness in your heart. She always assisted me when I needed it or if I did not grasp something, she would make…
Jackie Robinson once said “This ain't fun but watch me get it done”. I had always been at a small school my entire life until seventh grade, when I decided to change schools. I was the new kid, and I didn’t know anyone, and nobody knew me, but I made friends in that two years of middle school. I had never been through a transition like that in my entire life, but when I am older I can look back on it and say that I did it.…
High school is a different experience for everyone. The first three years really blend together and do not seem important, but senior year is completely different. Freshman year was full of confusion, learning an array of new things. Sophomore year was where life started to get fun and you “belonged” in the high school. Junior year was where you see the little light at the end of the tunnel, but it was filled with anxiety and frustration. Senior year is where it all becomes worth it and the rest of your life is finally going to begin.…

The last few years have just flown by, leaving behind loving memories of high school. It also became a long but fast year of hardships, trials and sorrows. But despite of those, we also experience opposite elements. I could associate a story I learned in Values – it is entitled “Steadfast in Facing Adversities – that for every trial, there is joy; that after every sorrow, there comes happiness.…
