Carlson Final Copy My life in High School I spent the first two year of high school at Westland High in Columbus Ohio. Those years were somewhat average and most of the time I felt board‚ even though I was on the track team. One of the more unusual things that occurred was that a classmate‚ who I had talked with many times and who sat by me in a few classes murdered his parents! I spent the rest if high school at Grove City High School‚ after moving there in my junior year. My senior year was

Middleton High School has taught me how to live the high school life. I have been a student in the classroom‚ an athlete on the field‚ and a social bug in my community. Even though I come from a town in little old Middleton Idaho that only has one stop light‚ high school has been one of my greatest experience. I was an average academic student all thought out my high school career. As a student I maintained a 3.5 GPA from freshman year to my senior year. I always received A’s‚ B’s‚ and very few C’s. I

In the August before my sophomore year of high school‚ a challenge emerged. My dad had passed away. Of course you would read that and automatically think about how that would affect me in many ways. However no one‚ not even myself‚ was aware of the many challenges that went with this. Death was something new to me. I had never had to deal with someone close to me passing. I had experienced my friends losing a grandparent or a distant relative‚ but it had not affected me terribly much. I always considered

Six and a half years ago‚ on a sweltering August morning‚ I began my freshman campaign. I remember stepping out of Jones and thinking‚ “Wow‚ every girl here is ridiculously pretty.” Hyperbole aside‚ I was raring to launch. During that fall semester‚ I had a public speaking class on Tuesdays and Thursdays that started at 7:30 in the morning. I can never remember‚ but it was either just before or just after the time change‚ when it’s still dark out at 7:00. Regardless‚ even under such uncanny conditions

The first time in my life that I ever experienced true anger and fear was in the sixth grade. A little before Thanksgiving Break‚ I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma‚ a type of skin cancer‚ in my lower back. I had a mole there that was removed earlier that year‚ and the test results on it had come back positive. I did not find out until later‚ but when my mom sat me down across from her to talk‚ I knew something was wrong. It was then that she told me what was going on‚ and I broke down in

Being thirteen‚ I haven’t really been faced with many life changing decisions. That doesn’t mean I haven’t faced any‚though. One decision in my life‚ that had a great affect on me. I had to decide what high school I want to go to. I could either‚ apply for Howell High School’s theatrical program‚ or go to my home school and do theater as a extracurricular activity

What made them decide that that’s what they wanted to do with their life? I have always had a fascination with fish ever since my dad took me fishing for the first time!

fathers. For me this statement rings true as my parents passed their guilt and shame about their ancestry on to me. I grew up in Los Angeles‚ the daughter of a biracial father and a German mother‚ and attended a coed private school from pre-K to 6th grade. During the summers my brothers and I went to Germany. Although I felt strong ties to my German heritage my mom never spoke about what it was like to grow up under fascism in Nazi Germany. Similarly‚ my father did not speak about his family and

Approximately ten years ago when I was a regular third grader‚ when life seemed to be rosy and full of fairytales‚ that nothing can be worse than not having your favorite meal at lunch‚ I had a theatre performance that changed my life. I remember standing there in the center of the stage while everyone was staring at me. My body started getting tense and I could hear my heart

People are always talking about moments. Those split seconds of your life where you feel like nothing can touch you‚ like nothing can go wrong. But no one ever talks about what happens after those moments. When you come hurdling full speed back down to earth‚ and find yourself one again in reality‚ looking dazedly around and trying to figure how for that one moment everything could have been perfect‚ and how it could change so suddenly. I’ve had plenty of moments. And they were everything a moment
