Personal Narrative: My Junior Year
Junior year was one for the books. Along with being worried for standardized tests, I had enrolled myself in two Advanced Placement classes, and obtained a position at Kumon Math & Reading. I also volunteered at my local library every weekend, and secured an internship at Kaiser Permanente, the regional hospital.
Throughout the first semester, I had underestimated myself. I would provide others "excuses" for my B's, and would not work as diligently as I should have.
However, I had decided in the beginning of my second semester that I would only complete it with straight A's, nothing less.
I had worked endlessly that semester, verifying that all my homework assignments were submitted and my exam grades were up to par. I had studied ceaselessly

    Personal Narrative: My High School Career

    The reason my academics aren’t going well as you or I would like is because of the several family issues I’ve had to face during my high school career. It began my Sophomore year, I found out my mom needed surgery in her arm so the chances of her cancer spreading would be reduced. I was under a great deal of stress worrying about my mother, taking care of my four siblings making sure they knew everything was going to be okay, even though I wasn’t sure myself. It was all up to me; while my other brother worked to help with bills, my mom being in the hospital, and my dad working. Taking care of my siblings consisted of cooking, homework, cleaning, nightly routine, and putting them to bed. When the work was done it would be around 10 o'clock. It was already tough to buckle down and focus on homework without all the stress. With all this my first semester grade was less than great.…

    Antigone Rhetorical Analysis

    It was around this point that I began to lose my motivation to do any class work whatsoever, and my grade suffered for it. One day, Mr. Brown held me after class and told me that I had the lowest grade out of any of his students that he has ever taught. With that as my motivation, I studied long and hard to get my grade up, and in the end I had barely passed the class with a sixty-nine point eight average.…

    Personal Narrative: My Eleventh Year In High School

    Walking into my honors English class my eleventh grade year, I felt as if it would be a breeze. Thinking back to the previous year to when I constantly maintained an “A+” and without hesitation I knew that any test, quiz, or writing prompt I was destined for an “A.” It was until now sobbing in a big puddle of salty water I knew for a fact I was doomed. Although I had never really thought into what karma was and what it really meant. It was my eleventh grade year in high school it had finally caught up to me.…

    Personal Narrative: My Freshman Year Of College

    Starting your freshman year of college is a really, really terrifying moment. You go from being in a place where you are totally comfortable to being in a new place full of new people you have yet to get to know. And for every single freshman, it’s especially harder for any number of personal reasons. When I first got to Williams I often wondered if I really belonged here at all—was I smart enough, talented enough, educated enough? As I got closer to my JAs and my entrymates, I began to overcome my insecurity and learned that I could and did belong at Williams. I want to be a JA because I want to give a group of freshman the same support and confidence that my JAs instilled in me. I want to be able to work with a group of my peers and my…

    Senioritis In High School Essay

    At this point I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life after college and I didn’t even know what college I wanted to go to. I did not like the feeling of not knowing what I wanted to do as a career. It would eat at me, so I decided to just hide it away deep down until it would find its way out eventually with the right answer a year and a half later. My classes were consisting of required courses that I had no care for. Back when I was a sophomore, we were required to take chemistry in order to complete high school. My chemistry teacher was the worst. He did not care about my assignments enough to actually take his time and read through them and give me an accurate score on my assignments and tests. No matter how hard or little I tried, he would always give me a score of a D or C, Teachers like him are what cause the students to have this thought of, “No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to better myself, I am worthless in their eyes.”. That’s the message I received when I was handed a sixty percent for my semester grade in that class. That teacher didn’t care about me, he didn’t want to waste his precious time on me. Teachers like him are like the diseases in the education…

    Taking risks. Not being afraid to reach for the stars, to toss everything and start over, to defy practices that are believed to be law, to speak up when everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless. “High risk. High reward.” is the quote that has helped me shape my life throughout my years in school. Not only has this assisted me in expanding my mindset but has also opened a world of possibilities for maximizing my success in the future.…

    Personal Narrative: My Sophomore

    At the end of my Freshman year my family had finally closed a deal on a house, and with that closing another door of opportunity opened. Living in this new location put us in a different school district, and my father was pretty insistent that i tried going to regular high school. Which my mother would then interject with, “The boy is doing fine and he is loving what he is doing. Why would we change that?”. Now you might be thinking along the same lines as my mother. If i had friends, structure, and was enjoyed the curriculum i was doing, then why would i switch? Why not just let this opportunity go by and keep on chugging along? Fortunately, this story is a little more interesting than that. I decided that i wanted to try and do my Sophomore…

    4.0 Research Paper

    During my freshman year of highschool, I was determined to keep my grades high and obtain a 4.0. As the first semester of 9th grade ended, I possessed all A’s and performed well on my finals. Then, as semester two quickly came to an end, I ended up with all A’s except for one class: World History. Finals came around and my grade became low in that class and my chances of getting the 4.0 I dreamed of became slim. I needed to receive higher than a 96 percent on my final to get an A in the class, which seemed almost impossible. I thought to myself that I need to study really hard for this final if I want to start off highschool with all A’s. Also, I prayed very hard and kept faith that I would be able to accomplish this challenge. Therefore, I studied every little detail from every notes, homework, and worksheets that I had received all semester. In…
