Shishir Velma Speech
Hello everyone. First, I want to start by talking about myself. My name is Shishir Velma, I am a ninth grader at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, Maryland. So, it is my first year in high school, and I am not sure how much I like it. Yeah it is great that I get to meet new people, make new friends, and experience a lot of new things. But on the other hand, homework, clubs, and sports are dominating my life. Ever since I started going to high school, I have had less time to spend with my family and do the things I love. It is ridiculous how many hours I have sat in my room, staring at my computer, studying, and doing homework. My own room, which once used to be a place for relaxation and privacy now feels like a prison. The transition

    Personal Narrative: House That Built Me

    High school: a major transition in many teen’s lives that poses some confusing, yet important, questions. Who am I? Where do I belong? What am I going to do with my life?

Day after day I would struggle with keeping everything in balance and worried about all of the little things. My life seemed to slowly slip up until I couldn’t seem to handle everything. I needed answers, and I needed them quickly.…

    High school can be the best or worst four years of our lives. It just depends on how you want to spend it and how you want these next four years to be. Just because you're not in the in crowd doesn't mean you're not special or popular it just means that you’re not right to fit in that group unless you want to change completely and live a lie and be unhappy.

    Personal Narrative: The William Knibb Memorial High School

    Growing up we all looked forward to starting high school, but how many of us enjoyed every bit of it? High school was a moment that I looked forward to; thoughts of doing what I finally wanted to flood my mind. In June 2008, I received my GSAT result and was delighted when I saw that I passed for the William Knibb Memorial High School; although a bit disappointed because it wasn’t on my top five list. High school was not everything that I expected. In a few days, I met a few nice people. The first week of school was amazing, but after a few weeks things started getting intense. High school; however, was no bed of roses, especially when it came onto the subjects, reports, and school rules.…

    Hello, I'm Vanessa Medina, a 15-year-old ninth grader at Hamilton High School in Milwaukee. I was born on October 2, 2000. I live with my mother Amy, and sisters Adriana, Alex and Gabby. I have 2 pets, one is a Maltese dog named Buttons and a kitty my family and I rescued named Greenie. I started at a head start school called Guadalupe Head Start-Loyola at the age of 3, then went on to Fairview Charter School, and now I'm at Hamilton. I was doing great at head start because it was mostly playtime and I was outgoing, I was doing pretty good in Fairview too, but as I aged and in the 5th grade I became very introverted. I started having bad grades because I was too nervous to raise my hand for help, or to talk to people that I had known for a…

    I’m here to welcome you guys to the start of your high school career at Millard North High School. High school is very different from what you guys experienced during middle school. For one, there are a lot more people but also the food is much better. You guys now get more freedoms as well, but that also means teachers expect more from you since you have matured.

It’s really important for you guys to get involved in the school so you can meet new people and discover new interests.…

    Still Separate, Still Unequal

    High school should be the time of your life. You should take the classes that you want and spend as much time with your friends. However, there are some high schools that don't provide as many opportunities as other schools contain. Some do not have the kind of money to even take care of the students and some don't even have enough books to educate them. I have had the privilege to learn in an environment that contains enough books and supplies for all of the students attending the schools. There were many classes that were open to me and one specific one that touched me the most was Spanish.…

    Things I Learned In High School Essay

    Things that I have learned so far about high school is that the more you will realize who your friends are they will really start showing you their “true colors”. Furthermore balancing the workload is a very hard task because you have extra curriculum and other responsibilities dealing with your household. Being in high school you aren't going to get pampered or a teacher constantly coming to you, tell you that you have work due , missing assignments , being in class on time and keeping up with your grades . Also , I have learned that you shouldn't wait unit the last minute to turn work in or ask for extra credit , most certainty you shouldn't wait until the day before the due date to turn in your assignments . By having other classes that will be due…

    Personal Narrative: My Life As A Medicine

    I started my first year of college with my life prearranged. I had a ridiculous notion that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs, do lots of research, make the dean’s list, make my parents proud and attend as many parties as I could. However, now when I look back, I realized that I was too comfortable in my life. I thought I was ready to overcome every obstacle that was thrust upon me but I was sadly mistaken. College was a culture shock. I concluded that college is an entirely different universe, then high school. My GPA dropped for the first time in my life from a 3.7 in high school to a 2.8. The decline in my GPA made me realize that my journey to becoming a doctor is not always going to be easy. It made me hunger to go to medical school even more, to overcome the academic and emotional hurdles, and…

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up In High School

    The last time I remember something as huge as starting in high school was having to move to Oregon from Alaska, but for better or for worse, here I am, attempting to make my mark on this big blue Earth. However, Highschool was never always just peaches, cream, rainbows and unicorns. If I’m to be one hundred percent honest here, I was legitimately terrified of it, whether it be the totally reasonable fear of being stuffed into a locker by a bully or getting lost in a labyrinth of corridors and passages of infinite classes and broom closets. But those fears never truly emerged up until the final days of freedom that remained from my graduation of 8th grade. As the days drew nearer, so did my fear reaching the brim of a breakdown. I was scared,…

    Has High School Changed You

    The future is unpredictable, and with it come more and more responsibilities. Are you the same person you were before? Or have these actions and responsibilities molded you to become the person you are today? Is the same person that started high school four years ago standing where you are, or is that person long gone? For me, the transition through high school has changed me thoroughly. I’ve noticed that high school has made me sharper about whom to trust and I judge people more than I used to. High school gives you more options, viewpoints, and ideas. You will change a lot through high school. You’ll mature in almost every way, you will learn more about yourself, who you are and what you believe in. you will go through hard times but eventually get through them. When I started out at the freshman center I knew that I wanted to be a professional football player, but now I’m not so sure what I want to be. A couple of major events that occurred through my high school career have changed my mind on things.…

    Experiencing Failure In High School

    It was hard for me to transition through freshman year with more classes and more classrooms to go to. Also with more older and intimidating students. Though many freshman usually are nervous in their first year of high school, some were already acquainted with the upperclassmen and had in no time made many friends. Though I wasn't looking for friends, I saw how they were all so comfortable being shown around the school and other things of the nature. Besides being nervous of my first year, I also seemed to have taken lightly of my classes and just floated through without trying. I got either one or two F's in different courses throughout my four quarters and I vowed to myself to strive for better within my sophomore year.…
