The Most Memorable Day of my Life
The most memorable day of my life was, September 4, 1995 in Chicago, IL. It was 6:00 a.m. when my alarm clock woke me up. The first day of high school was finally here. I was excited, but a lot more nervous. I got out of bed, got ready, and then was on my way to the bus stop. All I could think of is the stories I heard about high school being so horrible with all the mean teachers, the hard tests, and of course being a freshman does not help either. The bus ride to the school was only 30 minutes, but it seemed a lot longer. When we finally got there, I was more nervous than ever. The day ahead of me was about to get a lot more complicated or the start of something great.

I did not know how to get to my classroom. I was lost and I had to ask one of the students about the room number where I was going to take a math class. This individuals name was Kim. She was a white girl, about 5'6, with wavy hair, wore a blue dress and flip-flops. She acted like a normal kind of person. She was very nice and told me the right direction. When I walked into the class, I saw a number of students and at that moment, I felt odd. I became close to a girl who was from the same neighborhood I was. I asked her what classroom she was going to and found that we were in the same room number and I felt less worried. I introduced myself and said, "Hello my name is Gisela Lopez and I am new to this school," and she introduced herself to me. She said, "Hello, my name is Asia and I am also new this school." She was light skinned, about 5, 4. Asia wore a Muslim dress that was called an abaya, a head cover and high heels; she acted happy when she saw me because she was the only person that was there from my neighborhood so I thought. We went into the classroom, and the time to start class began.
While we began our class, all of our classmates were quiet nobody talked. After ten minutes,

    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…

    Death Row

    • 1309 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In the justice system, there comes a time or two when a criminal is sentenced to the death penalty. It takes a huge amount of evidence to convict and sentence a criminal to this kind of capital punishment. Not only does the criminal spend time awaiting lethal injection when it is their time to serve out their sentence, but the criminal also has to wait on average twelve years for this sentence (Death Penalty Information Center 2013). During this time (up to twelve years) the criminal is confined to a single cell by themselves for an average of twenty-three hours a day (Death Penalty Information Center 2013). Only having one hour a day with people is considered extreme isolation for the criminals on death row. The extreme isolation the criminals withstand on death row can easily cause mental illness. Death row criminals do not have the same rights as other criminals and are not able to receive education training or be able to work (Death Penalty Information Center 2013). Death row criminals cannot do anything besides wait, which is an average of twelve years. This is a major problem with this type of capital punishment. Criminals who have been sentenced to the death penalty should receive their punishment within a year of conviction because it would reduce the criminals’ time in isolation, reduce overpopulation issues within prisons, and it brings closure to the victims’ families in a more reasonable time.…

    My most memorable memory included eggs, confetti, and confusion. This day had many odd occurrences, from window paint, eggs, flour, camouflage, and a roller coaster of emotions. The best memory ever to me was the last day of my senior year of high school. That day started off as any normal last day of high school. There were camera flashes, k.i.t (keep.in.touch) in yearbooks, smiles, yearbooks flying around the cafeteria, and saying goodbye to teachers. As the day progressed, it was good being able to hang out with my whole class before walking the stage.…
