High School Research Paper
Back when I was in high school around late November early December is when I begin to get sick and I felt really tired and all I wanted to do was sleep. In early January I found out that I was pregnant. After Christmas break when I went back to school I would put my head down and hope for all the morning sickness to go away. I eventually ended up falling asleep and forgetting what was going on in class. My teacher would hand me my assignment and I would take them home that night along with my homework and never completed because I was so tried. After school I would go straight to work and I did not get off work until 11:00pm or sometimes 12:00pm by the time I got in the house I was ready to shower and get in bed I did not feel like doing homework …show more content…

I had so much doc visit and I missed so much school that I knew there were test to make up and all. Since I did not study for the test when I was out because I was so tired or at work I did not want to take the test the next day so I would put them on hold. With all the doctor bills I had to pay I just wanted to quiet school so that I can get another job to be able to pay all my doctor bills. I can really say I was lost, stressed and in depression. After spring break went by and I had a whole week to rest from work and school I sat on my bed one day and asked myself what am I doing with my life this is not me. I never slacked on my school work I really need to pull it together. So I did all my work and turned in the next week when we got back from break then I scheduled time with all my teachers to finish all my quizzes and test. I stayed up all night to study for my exams I ended up making good grades on my exams and passing I guess all my work has paid off because I finally got to walk the stage and get my diploma. Going through this tough time has showed me I can do anything and

    Should Conroe High School remove their rule on not letting kids leave school to get food? Yes, Some students do not eat lunch at all and also because some of the food is disgusting, and being able to leave the school during lunch would be better for the students, we would be able to hang out for a little outside of school instead of being in class for 8 hours.…

    The whistle blows, signaling the end of the timeout. There’s three seconds left in the NBA Finals Championship Game. The Bulls find themselves down by one after giving up a layup to the Cavaliers. At this point you know the ball is going into one mans hands; the man trusted to make so many clutch shots in his career, the man who lives for these situations, Michael Jordan. The ball is handed to the player out- a- bounds so he can inbound it; Michael shakes free and gets the ball. He takes a dribble toward the free throw line…2 seconds left. He elevates into his shot…1 second left. The ball leaves his fingertips with perfect rotation. The ball is in the air as if moving in slow motion across the sky. Closer and closer it gets to the rim; there’s no way its going in then, swish, perfect shot tickling the twine as the buzzer sounds. “The bulls win, the bulls win,” was the scream coming from the announcers on TV. Michael leaps in the air in celebratory fashion knowing that he had just won the NBA championship for his team in near impossible fashion.…

    My parents didn’t believe me, they thought that I was just making things up so I could miss school. I ended up getting mono and missing a month and a half of school. I feel so far behind that it was hard to even catch up, when I did get back to school finally I was going in on off hours and staying after to catch up on my work. The only teacher who wanted to help me was my math teacher. When I did ask for help my teacher told me that I was “stupid” in front of the whole class. I was embarrassed and felt like that shy little girl again who was afraid of the world and to talk to people. These teachers made me feel like I was worthless and that I wouldn’t go anywhere in life. That’s when I knew that I had to leave, if I didn’t I knew I would always seen in my brother’s shadow and not in my own light. Since I was little I have always been shy and never really spoke up or defended myself, but from that year in school I learned that it’s okay to defend yourself and I learned to speak up. I became someone who doesn’t let people walk all over her anymore and I became determined to prove everyone wrong about…

    Middle school years are in your memory for a long time, especially the great times. Being in middle school for 3 years has changed many people. As middle schoolers, our newfound title as “teenagers” or "preteens" is something we don’t fully understand. We begin to realize that people are diverse in so many ways, but our lack of maturity makes us believe that being different is bad. We are told to get mature and quick in just a short span of time that we cannot even digest what mature means. Suddenly school is no longer the friendly playground; instead, it is a jungle in which we are deciding our friends based on the fact to be socially acceptable. I will always remember middle school as three long years of trying to establish my character,…

    I admit, I had a very difficult time last semester, and my grades suffered as a result. I don't mean to make excuses for my poor academic performance, but I would like to explain the circumstances. I knew that registering for 18 credit hours in the spring would require a lot of me, but I needed to earn the hours so that I was on track to graduate on time. I thought I could handle the work load, and I still think I could have, except that my father became very ill in February. While he was home sick and unable to work, I had to drive home every weekend and some week nights to help out with household duties and to care for my little sister. Needless to say, the hour-long drive each way cut into my study time, as did the chores I had to do at home. Even when I was at school, I was very distracted with the home situation and was unable to focus on my schoolwork. I understand now that I should have communicated with my professors (instead of avoiding them), or even taken a leave of absence. I thought I could handle all of these burdens, and I tried my best, but I was wrong.…

    I began to stress about myself even more. I began to stress about school and how my absences will affect me and my work. I had the most problems on my shoulders that I could bare. I was stressing about school, my family, and also my health. School had become my last priority because everything was falling on me so fast. I only could handle little by little until I broke down. My sister got pregnant at the age of 16, my mom was having financial problems and also my grandmother having surgeries back to back. My family problems became my first priority and that’s when I decided to stop going to school, instead of finishing my junior year and move back home and get my GED. My mother and I decided that I should start doing classes online, but that didn’t go as planned. So I started doing classes at a GED center, financially we wasn’t stable to constantly go back and forward three times out of a week every week. I went through options after options. Months went by and I still didn’t get myself together to finish up on my education. Eventually, my final option which was my last time trying, was signing up for Job…

    Freshman year is the beginning of all things important and all things new. You move to a new school, you follow new trends, you make new friends. But this year for me meant time for a new backpack. I had had my last bag for a few years, and it was an unpleasant purple and dirty gray and worn down like a rag doll. Even in its roughest days of frayed straps and dirt covered bottom, I still loved it. Plus, I hated looking for new backpacks, they were all going to be cheep looking and ugly. They all look the same, usually they had three to four pockets, some had elegant designs and others were dull and colorless. They all lacked the character my bag had rightfully earned.…

    So what sort of misfortune befell me last year? In short, I began completing assignments late and falling behind in my classes, the first time this occurred in my entire schooling. I was then caught in a vicious cycle in which I stayed up late to finish homework and then fell asleep in class and didn't learn anything and fell further and further behind. My days and nights flowed in and out of each other with the same monotonous feelings of stress and fatigue. I was irritable, unfocused and not present. I felt like I was climbing a ladder and each rung I reached for slipped out of my fingers and I fell further down into the pit that held the shattered pieces of my life. I was much more…
