As I sat in my required freshman math class‚ I already knew campus security was looking for me. I was anxiously looking around for the campus security to remove me from class‚ and send me to the principal’s office. You see‚ in the beginning of freshmen year‚ I was depressed and because of it‚ I was making poor decisions. One of my closest friends had died in a car accident two weeks prior to this moment. I had never lost anyone due to death‚ and I had no idea how to cope with it. Growing up in the

The reason my academics aren’t going well as you or I would like is because of the several family issues I’ve had to face during my high school career. It began my Sophomore year‚ I found out my mom needed surgery in her arm so the chances of her cancer spreading would be reduced. I was under a great deal of stress worrying about my mother‚ taking care of my four siblings making sure they knew everything was going to be okay‚ even though I wasn’t sure myself. It was all up to me; while my other brother

When I came back from studying in the United Kingdom I had a goal in mind to lower the cost of education so my parents weren’t as financially burdened. When I was accepted to Bentley University I thought things were going to be better since it would not cost as much as studying overseas. What I did not account for is things going wrong. Quickly many things did go wrong. The registry listed me as a sophomore while other departments did not. The housing department moved me into a dorm which caused

Imagine… you are getting all dressed up for that big day. You get anxious and scared because it’s the graduation for eighth grade. You get all dressed up and put on your gown and cap. Then you arrive at the school. You sit in the assigned seat and watch the children before you get up and shake hands. You feel your hands get clammy as you wait. You wait till you hear your name and realize that it’s your time to shine. You stand up and hear the creaking of the harwood on your shoes. Then you feel your

class. Parker‚ Ethan‚ Hunter‚ John‚ and Toby all turned to me as if they already agreed with Phu. All I could think about was how much trouble me and boys would get me into. Sounded fun anyways. “Alright‚ we’ll head out friday after we get out of school”‚ I said. Phu looked at me and said “It’s a wrap!”. The only issue is convincing my parents to let me go with no parents supervision. I wasn’t really sure how to bring it up to my parents that I wanted to go to Florida for four days without any parents

During my freshman year of high school I received a letter in the mail. This letter was an invitation to play basketball in Australia‚ with other boys and girls of my age. The date was September 13‚ 2011. The letter stated that we would be leaving June 1‚ of 2012. Of course I wanted to go as soon as I read the letter‚ but my family was more curious about the trip. We did some research and figured out everything that would be offered on this trip. In my research I read of playing Australian basketball

him staring at me today! I was on the dance team at my old high school and he was the drum major. I’m used to being watched while practicing‚ but this seems a little ridiculous. As the band and dance team work closely to perfect our field performance‚ especially since we weren’t at home this week. His glance may not seem very significant to a naïve sixteen year old‚ but it raises red flags looking back now. “One‚ Two‚ There‚ Four” echoing from the drill sergeant Darla.

Going through kindergarten to third grade‚ I had interesting experiences meeting new people and making friends. From having weird teachers to making memorable friends‚ a dull moment never passed. In kindergarten‚ I adored having Kristen in my class; that didn’t last long at all unfortunately. As sisters‚ we were like two peas in a pod‚ always by each others side. I remember one day‚ the teacher told the class to do a worksheet. I sat right next to Kristen in class‚ so we helped each other with

Over the course of my high school years I have been involved in many different clubs‚ sports‚ and leadership roles that have impacted my life and allowed me to learn life lessons that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. Being a leader and learning to use my voice has been a challenge for me that I have had to overcome to fill my roles in different activities. The first extracurricular activity that allowed me to really find my voice and get out of my comfort zone was volleyball. Volleyball has been

Looking at this from years to come‚ I came to realize the actual reality of this race. The “long race” couldn’t have been more than a mile. The many people at the start had only been about 30 kids. The sixth graders who pushed their way to the front‚ I now looked upon them as “the younger kids.” As age pushed me forward‚ so did my attitude. Within this photo I saw an excited teenager‚ a teenager who was confident and relieved from his success. He had worked hard for his win
