It was my first day of practice for high school swimming. There I was- a scrawny freshman‚ idolizing these upperclassmen who towered above me. Being the only freshman in my class‚ my coach had me train alongside these giants. I remember the countless morning practices‚ which always involved grueling endurance sets‚ where my teammates lapped me constantly while I struggled to make the intervals; feeling disappointed in myself‚ but determined to continue working hard in order to catch up to my teammates

I was so happy that we had a five day weekend‚ this week. I don’t know why I felt like this week went by slow. We got our first progress reports on Wednesday and I wasn’t extremely happy with my grades. Upperclassmen would always tell us that senior year would be the most relaxed year of our four high school years‚ but honestly it does not seem like it. It’s not that the subjects that are hard‚ its keeping up with every class and the assignments. The thing that i am stressed about is processing all

I shook the spray can some more. The metal ball inside of the paint can made a clattering noise. I coughed a few times as the chemicals burned my nostrils. I had to be quick before the cops came.

This wasn’t one of my best crimes but I sure was satisfied by it. I stood in awe at my high school’s sign. The sign used to say Riverdale

Today‚ my family and I went to the mall for Back to School shopping‚ and all I have to say is it went the absolute worst way possible. As soon as we stepped into a JCPenny‚ my mother darted for the most plain shirts you will ever see. They were all the same too! It was a tacky plaid‚ two-buttoned tee with a butterfly collar.
