My mother’s father is from the Middle East while my father’s family is European. Vastly different origins within one family can create obstacles to achieve one decision. Watching my family work through their ideas and beliefs has helped prepare for one of my more difficult high school experiences. To date‚ the most significant experience in being a

All throughout school I strived to be a great student‚ always trying my best and never giving up. I didn’t really have any life changing moments that shaped me into who I am today that is‚ until freshman year. That year everything changed for me I was faced with challenges I never had to face before. My brother and I are three in a half years apart and he went to Horizon High School for his freshman and sophomore year. He was a troublemaker to say the least didn’t have the best reputation so all

Walking into my honors English class my eleventh grade year‚ I felt as if it would be a breeze. Thinking back to the previous year to when I constantly maintained an “A+” and without hesitation I knew that any test‚ quiz‚ or writing prompt I was destined for an “A.” It was until now sobbing in a big puddle of salty water I knew for a fact I was doomed. Although I had never really thought into what karma was and what it really meant. It was my eleventh grade year in high school it had finally caught

I remember wishing for some to tell me more. Since then‚ I always wonder what goes on in space while I am down here. My curiosity followed me all the way to high school. As soon as I entered high school‚ I could not help but remember thinking “Astronomy was the first class I was going to take.” that was not the case. My school did not even

In the summer going into freshman year‚ my grandpa said to me he expected a state ring. I told him that was impossible. A freshman doesn’t get a varsity spot‚ especially with as much talent the upperclassmen have. Little did I know that anything is possible when I put my mind to it. My first sport in high school was soccer and I wasn’t prepared for the amount of fitness I needed. I thought that I was in shape‚ but I was in for a rude awakening. The first practice we ran the entire time. I hated

Something that I am the most proud of is when I made my fist cosplay. All my friends from high school are into cosplay; some of them even won awards for it! I had thought I was too unskilled to join in‚ and procrastinated dabbling in the art. However‚ this Halloween I finally decided to try it out by dressing up as Professor Layton (from the Professor Layton video game series). The most important aspect of the Professor was his signature top hat‚ which I had to figure out how to replicate. I consulted

It was a chilly Monday night‚ and I was sitting in the Ed Landreth Building for the first time since the summer before my junior year of high school‚ when I attended the TCU All State Choir Camp. I reveled in the sights and sounds of the music department; every sound felt familiar to my entire high school choir career. It became fifteen minutes until the recital began‚ and my friend Taylor and I quickly walked into the Pepsico Music Hall. “Just wait!” She told me with excitement. “You’re going

It may seem odd now‚ but at the time many girls [at our school] carried guns everywhere‚ including in classrooms. How much things have changed. Fast forward a few years to my full-time job after college. I worked for a CEO and had a glass office next to his. I never thought about how easy it would be for someone to watch me through those windows on the late nights

Only 2 tedious hours of school and I could go home and lay in my queen size bed with my body sized pillow because today was just not my day.

into the sky‚ screaming in pain and I’m holding my knee close to my chest‚ all I could think about was not about my knee‚ but my family‚ friends‚ and coaches. I remembered before the game that my teammates and I were on one knee holding hands in the locker room‚ saying the “Our Father” with confidence. As we were saying the prayer‚ I came to think that this will be my last first high school football game ever‚ I’ve worked so hard to get to this point. My family and friends and coaches pushed me so hard
