When I first started Middle school at Frank Seale Middle School‚ I was scared because I didn’t know anybody but two of my cousins. I had recently attended an elementary school in Oak Cliff after my 5th grade year when I was finished with elementary school I moved to Cedar Hill. I was scared whenever my parents had told me to get out the car and walk through the school doors‚ I was so scared that I went stiff as my parents kept on urging me to walk inside‚ I cried and cried as I begged them to take

My decision to have American school life was the biggest transformation in my life. The background of my family was very normal except that my parents were more exposed to English than any other Korean parents. My mom is an English teacher‚ and my dad is an electrical engineer. They both can read‚ write and speak English. I was exposed to English since I was young‚ and I started to learn the alphabet when I was three. I’ve been to an English speaking kindergarten‚ and an English-based international

Misfortune in my new school Arshia Amali I woke up by the blue jays singing by the tree beside my bedroom window. I got dressed in my blue jeans and my Adidas sweater. As I went downstairs my mom had a big breakfast set out on the round table. I sat down and as I started gobbling down the pancakes my brother joined us. We cleaned off the table and I took my backpack and put on my jacket to go out for school. My brother ‘Matt’ following right behind me. I and he decided to take the shortcut we

Imagine coming home after a long day of school and mere seconds after dropping your backpack at the door‚ you are greeted by your mother handing you a duffel bag. You ask her what it’s for only to be told to pack as much as you can in it because you’re leaving with her to go to Michigan. It’s the middle of the week‚ you have a test tomorrow in your history class‚ but what else can you do but do exactly as you’re told. My mom had been sick for 2 years with chronic sinus issues that made it hard for

When I read this definition of a leader‚ the first person who comes to my mind is my high school Student Senate adviser. As I first began high school I didn’t really have a place to go or a group to be with. I tried joining a variety of different clubs and organizations at my school and found that FFA was where I belonged. I had a great adviser my first three years of being involved in FFA‚ but after getting a new adviser my senior year while serving as president‚ I knew that I needed someone to

bell rang‚ my friends and I ran out of the classroom‚ and we were so happy. We don’t need to stand there for so long and play drums‚ because we found an excuse to be out as usual. At this moment‚ the weather is cold‚ and we cannot see any light through the window at three o’clock. Maybe something bad will happen‚ but we have never thought about that. When I was in elementary school‚ I joined the drum team in my elementary school. I was so excited‚ as expected at the beginning as all my friends‚ and

July 18‚ 2010 The Crossroads of My Life (Revision of Return to School) Middle age is the point in our lives when we reflect and take stock of where we are in life and where we are going. I began to reflect on my life and to question the choices I made. I thought of the paths I took and wondered if I could make a change at this stage of my life. Having reached middle-age‚ I had become complacent and accepting of the outcome of my life choices. However‚ I would still beat myself up

Throughout my entire senior year‚ I had reflected upon my experiences in my high school career. With this‚ I have come to the conclusion that whomever said and believed that high school were the best years of their lives obviously did not ever attend such an institution. Although my input is rather cynical‚ I have realized that‚ although high school posed one of the most disappointing and exorbitant challenges‚ these barriers have helped me become the mature and forthright young adult I am today

For every teenager a drastic change to their form of life like moving schools can be catastrophic. For me it became a challenge‚ new school‚ friends‚ teachers‚ and a new environment. Life as I knew it was about to change and I could not assimilate it. Change seemed like the end of a perfect world. When I moved into the new house the smell was unrecognizable‚ the environment was somber and insipid. School felt strange and I felt everyone staring at me as a strange specimen from a lab. The first weeks
