A Regular Day of School
Around six o’clock in the morning my alarm goes off. I wake up, take a shower, brush my teeth, and use the next half an hour packing my bag for the long day ahead. I usually bring two bags to school, one for my books in class, and another for after school because I usually have football practice at the end of my day. Seven o’clock I hear two loud beeps outside my house, and on time is my girlfriend Natasha. She was always on time because school started at seven-thirty. I never ate breakfast at home because of the time I spent preparing my bags for school, so I would usually stopped at the breakfast line around seven-fifteen to get a hot bagel with cream cheese and some barbeque chips and an orange juice. American Heritage High School was the name of my school. It’s a private school in plantation that located at the corner of Broward Blvd and flamingo road. You can’t miss my school because it is a pretty big school. Matter of fact in a sense it looks like a college because of its size. The way the school looks, it is made with all red bricks, it has a clock tower with a large bell, and it has six different buildings, all two stories, and a football field. The reason for the school being so big is because, the school was a private school, and the grade level stared from pre kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Truthful my school was an expensive school, so expensive that it costs ten thousand dollars to go there but here’s the catch, if you started going to school there since kindergarten, the school will pay for your college tuition.
I usually had six classes and a break for lunch everyday. The class sizes were pretty decent, probably twenty to twenty five people in a class. My day would start with my general education classes, math, English, science, gym, than around eleven thirty I would have my lunch break. The good thing about lunch time is that I would have an hour to do whatever

    It was a bright sunny Wednesday afternoon and I was walking towards my car. I got out of class early and was heading home to get myself ready to spend time with my bright and intelligent students. Sometimes when I get out of class my body feels overwhelmed and tired. Perhaps it feels this way because of all the things that are going on in my life like family, friendship, relationship, community service, and homework assignments. I feel like I am very busy that I often do not have time for myself. However when I arrived to El Jardin that quickly changes. The students that I work with on Wednesday fill my life with positive attitude and energy that I often forget about the worries and stress that I encounter during the day. I really love my Wednesday shift more than my Tuesday shift because I have a stronger connection and attachment towards the two girls that I work with. On Wednesday’s, I work with two bright and intelligent 6th grade girls named Arisa and Janet. Both of them have special qualities and a sweet kind heart.…

    3:15 am, I lie in the spot of my bed I’d always gone to for comfort, now lying there unable to move, think, breathe, sleep, trying to wrap my mind around the fact that my world would never be the same again. Randomly waking up in the early hours of the morning is something I rarely do, so waking up at 3:06 am looking around my room, seeing Kierra also happen to wake up wasn’t right. Looking over at my phone, seeing Mrs. Jennie was calling me, I hesitantly answered, unsure of what to expect. Still half asleep, I asked, “Hello?”. Is everything okay?”…

    I left for school, jogging to school is my favourite part of the day. There’s just something about jogging in the morning, I can taste the crisp air as I breathe in and the feeling of it whipping my face and legs wakes me up. I sat outside of the locker bay, I can’t stand going in there during ‘peak hour’, the stench, a combination of sweat, deodorant, and old food, makes me want to puke. There’s always that crowd of older girls staring at me with that look of disgust as I walk through the corridor with my shiny black hair held up in a bun with some chopsticks…

    Now let me tell you a story of how starting school at 7:30 has affected me. Many students will relate to my story. This story took place just yesterday. I went to sleep at midnight because I had to go to practice, I had to do all of my homework, I had to study for all of my tests, and I had to study for my finals (DO A SOUND THAT SHOWS THAT YOU ARE TIRED). Doesn’t that sound like a busy day? I woke up to a sound that sounded like bullets from a gun. And I wonder what it was? It was my alarm beeeeeeping. It continued to beep and beep and beep. It got louder and louder and louder. I finally stood up and turned it off. Then I thought to myself, “It’s only 6:15” 1 more minute won’t hurt. And then I thought to myself, 5 more minutes won’t hurt. And then I thought to myself, 10 more minutes won’t hurt. I continued to sleep on and before I knew I woke up and it was 6:45. I jumped out of my bed and I ran to my dresser. I put my clothes on quickly.I brushed my teeth quickly. The thoughts running through my…
