I dreaded the alarm that woke me up at 6:30 in the morning. It was as loud as a screaming toddler that could be heard for miles. I groggily got out of bed and got ready for my first day of school. It was a weird feeling not putting on a uniform like I had been for the past nine years, but I also enjoyed that freedom. The nervousness became more and more intense as I could closer and closer to campus. When we arrived, I got out of the car, and watched my dad drive off to go take my younger sister to school. There was no going back now; I had no other choice than to walk through those doors. I felt like my throat was in my stomach. I noticed some familiar faces, and I walked towards them. While I was approaching my friends, a senior, facing toward me, walked passed. He must have been at least six feet tall, which was incredibly intimidating for me at just over five feet. I was not used to the fact that I’d potentially have classes with these giants. Additionally, the array of new teachers, and having to learn all of their teaching styles and things they did or did not tolerate was hard in…
Freshman year was good for me in personal and educational way. Some anxieties that I had in fresh man year was that I was not going to be with my friends from middle school. I wanted to have classes with people that I knew at the time. I was lucky to have some of my friends in my classes.…
The day I got accepted into CSN high school led to two years of personal growth, intellectual advancement, a new understanding of others and myself, and college readiness. I was able to get ahead in my education compared to most students my age. I became ready for college and for a more mature environment. I had a time where I had to develop a new understanding for my self. I would have to act as an adult and be more mature with all the freedom the college environment offered. Luckily going to college wont be scary because I know what to expect and I have two years of…
Going back to my best year! Sophomore year was the year I had to get myself together and stop acting so amateur, it was the year I start acting like an adult. Therefore It was a great year for me. My sophomore year was not like other teenagers, I had many downfalls, but that didn't stop me from accomplishing my goals. Around this time I wanted to try a sport for the first time, so I tried out for the wrestling team, but they didn't work out so well. Sophomore year I didn't make any new friends, cause I don't like making new friends, it's just too much. My day one friends stayed the same, these are the people who have been through hell and back with me. I didn't learn how to drive my tenth grade year, because I was procrastinating. I was skipping school and getting into…
high school is full of new and exciting experiences that will make everyone have a different experian. personally i've found highschool to be a fairly unique time where awkwardly enough i have become friends with more teachers than the kids who are my age but more on that later.…
Feeling happy because it was my first day of high school, sad because I had no friends especially since I lived in San Lorenzo and knew nothing about Livermore or just mad because it was school. In addition to having mixed emotions I did not have any friends, thus making it worse for me.…
My 6th-grade year was what I had thought, what I had hoped, high school would be like. We had more freedom than most and were able to get soda for lunch. My school also had a game room that we were allowed to go into after lunch, if out our grades were good, that is.…

We had about eight different coaches, basically four coaches from both schools. Our head coach name was Emmanuel Powell, he was a big but not fat bald head black guy. Honestly, he was the funniest of them all. He always gave us a laugh even when he was mad at us, it never fail. All of our coaches was real cool, they were like fathers but like brothers at the same time. They made sure we was doing good in the classes and even in life. They kept kids out of trouble, some coaches use to let the players sleep over if they had family problems. We built a good bond with the coaches. We also had a good season my sophomore, we made it to the fourth round of the…
The time has come. After countless weeks of exams, homework, meetings, and random outbursts of crying, it’s time to venture home for a few days of much needed rest, real food, and time with loved ones. Thanksgiving has become a lot more meaningful now that I am away from college. I remember my first Thanksgiving freshman year. I was living the standard movie cliché of coming home for the holidays. I grew a beard, everyone commented on how much more liberal I’ve gotten, I was asked (and begrudgingly answered) how my classes were going, it was all part of the true college experience.…
Freshman year was exciting, because of finally being in the high school. Soon realizing that almost everyone thinks you are stupid and want nothing to do with you. Between that and being confused on where to go, what to do, and when to shut up, it was nerve wrecking to say the least. Thinking you are a stud and the coolest kids around does not really help with the upper classmen. Being able to participate in high school sports just makes the experience all the better and going to homecoming and formal was a blast. No worries besides school and what you were going to do that weekend with your friends. Being able to drive anywhere you pleased made you feel all the more free.…
The first day of school, I was nervous just like any other day, but as the day went…
Freshman year of high school was an exciting and nerve wrecking time. The first week of school I stuck close to my friend from middle school. We had hung out over the summer nonstop and were extremely close. That first week we did not see each other much during the school day. All our classes seemed to be different except our lunch periods. This friend was someone I trusted and let influence me, for better or worse.…
Last year had to by far be the toughest year for me in high school. I grew away from many people that I considered some of my closest friends. I also suffered academically because I began to spend less time doing work and being focused on less important things. I got caught up in unnecessary drama, went on my first college visits, and met new people in the matter of one year. Not only did I grow as a person, I grew as an athlete, I grew as a sibling, and I grew as a young woman. My junior year allowed me to develop my expectations for myself in life and my expectations for the people who I choose to surround myself with. This was the year that I decided who I would want to become in the future.…
As we were putting our bags away I couldn’t help but wonder the rest of the day was going to be like. I mean I was already having so much, how it could get any better. I thought I would miss primary school but to tell you the truth, I don’t. Well I do miss my old friends but high school rocks!…
