What was your first experience in high school ? What thoughts were running through your head at the time? My head felt like it was going to pop off my body. Foremost‚ I grew up with parents who moved from the Dominican Republic and never had a college education. The time and dedication they take to do their jobs is incredible. There are times where I don’t get to see my father for weeks being he’s too focused on his job. On one occasion my father had to work for almost 48 hours straight due to a

My first day was an okay day; there weren’t so many kids there because the senior’s juniors and sophomores didn’t have school that day. My first thought about school was that‚ I didn’t want school to start yet because it was still summer. I was a little nervous at first but when I got there I was fine. I went to all my classes and I thought wow this is going to be hard. I got lost a couple of times because it was a big school and I was new. Then the day after that everybody was here at school and

My writing experiences are close to none. The only essays I have written have been mandatory for high school classes. I don’t think I have written a paper since I graduated high school in 2009. While in high school I only wrote essay when I absolutely had to. My entire life I have struggled at being a successful writer. My vocabulary is small because I don’t read very many books. In fact‚ I hardly ever read. I only read when required to read for school‚ or if it’s a recipe or directions. Its not

Learning comes in various forms. That’s what I realized when I experienced being involved in different activities since high school. Most of them involved doing something that was never in my comfort zone. But that’s how we learn‚ right? The first time I got involved with something I never did before was during my sophomore year. My class advisor asked me to conduct Math review sessions for our class. I was hesitant on doing the review sessions because I am not a good speaker. But I really wanted

The first time my best friend of four years told me that she would not be returning for our final two years of high school‚ I never dreamt that my life would become dramatically different. At the end of my sophomore year my best friend‚ who I refer to by her last name‚ Jones‚ because we have the same first name‚ told me that she was going to take the California High School Proficiency Examination in hopes of not having to complete junior and senior year of high school‚ and consequently start community

Being a senior in high school‚ I have had countless ups and countless downs during my journey through adolescence. My first high school memory transpired while I was a ball girl for the 2011 varsity women’s basketball at Hillcrest. Even though I was just an eighth grader fetching water for a high school basketball team I felt a pronounced sense of purpose and found myself doing tasks outside of my “job description”. While my duty as a ball girl is over one occurrence that remained was the want for

Before high school‚ I was severely anti-social. I was that weird girl in the back of the class who would make a fool of herself through everything she said and did. She was the weird girl who was a freak and should be avoided. When I got the high school‚ I knew it wouldn’t be a brand new start like everyone had promised me‚ but I knew I had to make the best of what I could. So once they announced there were Bowling tryouts that day after school‚ it caught my attention. At first I was really scared

This is anxiety. As I set in my blocks waiting for the gun to go off‚ my arms begin to shake. This is anxiety. Going back to my first high school track meet‚ I never thought I would make it this far. When I first decided to go out for track it was only to stay in shape and to get myself ready for softball season. It was a home track meet and I was about to run hurdles for the first time of my high school career in

this term has defined my entire life over the past four years. My first taste of high school was in the spring of my 8th grade year. My band director hosted a marching band clinic for rising freshman. Fresh off of a personal victory of being awarded the Director’s award for Musical Excellence‚ I eagerly attended. After getting the taste of high school marching band‚ earning a spot on the snare line my freshman year‚ and getting my music down‚ I was ready to march my first steps on the field

shy. Which is why if you had told my seventh-grade self that in three years I’d be acting‚ singing‚ and dancing my heart out on stage in front of an audience; I would have thought you were insane. I used to be the kid that would never speak up in class‚ and if I was called on to answer a question‚ my heart rate would go through the roof and I could barely breathe. I went to a charter school for elementary and middle school‚ so the transition to public high school was tough. I went from having a large
