Throughout my education‚ I have moved schools 3 times and every time it has been a struggle to acclimate socially‚ mentally and academically. I started at Diegueno Middle School in the middle of the seventh grade. This was now my second school in only the first half of my first year of middle school. Again I had to adapt to new people and a different course load. This school had a much higher standard of academia then my prior school and at first‚ I struggled. School felt alien to me. Time passed and

Personal Narrative By: Cassidy Morris I remember it like it was yesterday. I was going home from a basketball game‚ and my mom was explaining to me that my great uncle Mike had just passed away.

One of the weaknesses of narrative therapy is that the focus on externalizing problems allows avoidance of deeper issues (Rasheed‚ Rasheed‚ & Marley‚ 2011‚ p. 322). In the case of the Michael’s family‚ this should not be as much of a problem. Due to the fact that the Michael’s were referred for grief counseling and the children are showing signs of grief and trauma‚ the concerns of not addressing deeper issues does not apply to the aspects of grief therapy.

For the last 4 years of high school I have been my school’s mascot. It has shaped me in many different ways. Our mascot is Seymour Mule and his partner Annie Mule. We are Woodrow Wilson Senior High "Home of the Mighty Mules." Being a school mascot isn’t something you exactly plan to do during your high school years. But somehow I managed to do it and love it more than anything. I didn’t exactly choose to be our mascot‚ it happened due to luck. One day during my freshman year we had a practice fire

“Middle School” “First Day of Middle School: 30 pencils‚ 64 crayons‚ 20 pens‚ 12 rulers‚ and 10 notebooks. Middle of April: 1 pencil you found on the ground in science class.” This is true for many people‚ actually it’s kinda true for me. Middle School has been tough‚ I will admit‚ but I truly believe that high school will be a lot tougher. But middle school will always be unforgettable.
