hardly even able to go to school and were forced to stay inside all day long. I was a very bright student in school, was a fast learning and got good grades when I was able to attend. Unfortnately, I had nobody in my life to turn to to ask for help when it came to learning, not even my teachers. I either had to learn it myself and get it right the first time or fail and never get it right.

back with regret. I had the amazing ability to just check out of life. Today I don’t like to use that talent because I constantly feel like I’m missing out. The day of my high school graduation, I looked around and I realized I barely knew the kids around me. Four years had gone by, and I had no idea where they went. High school was advertised as the best years of my life, and I totally checked out. I felt like I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone, and I had been robbed of the majority

In my four years of high school I have participated in four years of cross country running and two years each of indoor and outdoor track. I have run long distance in all of these sports. Running in high school has allowed me to develop better time management skills and a realistic affective goal setting process. Running long distance also demands discipline and perseverance and has helped me to apply these qualities to my academic and personal goals. The members of sports teams that I have been

Moving to a different high school gave me a new perspective on the academic life I wanted to carry. I was on a mission to prove everyone that doubted me throughout my freshman year that I would be able to succeed in high school. That following summer I worked with a tutor to be ahead of my classmates for my sophomore year. Everything was going great until my family and the school thought it would be best for me to take the normal classes instead of advanced courses. Every day throughout my sophomore

passed the dancing Texas flag in the wind and wandered through the immense pillars in the entrance to my new school, my anxiety started to show. I was so lost. The outside of this school had already seemed unnerving enough, but as I walked through the doors my hands started to shake. The amount of students in this school easily tripled the amount that attended my old school, Franklin High School. I was extremely nervous because the worrying thoughts of me not being able to make any friends and my teachers

To anyone else reading this, it might seem dumb that I hold a high school friendship to this high of a standard, but with you it's totally different. With you, I feel like our friendship is deeper than any I have ever had. We can talk about things beyond the small things. I don't know how to explain it, but like just this morning

I always dreaded waking up everyday at 6 a.m. to get ready for school. On February 29th, I woke up and felt terrible and I almost asked my father if I could stay home. Before I asked him, I remembered we were going to have a party in the kindergarten class I tutored for; I could not miss that. When I got to school, I was waiting until lunch to go to the party in my kindergarten room. I was working on my math when our school secretary came on the speaker and yelled “Lockdown, the building is on lockdown

From time to time over the years, I have thought about what I want to do after I get my high school diploma. A couple of months ago I realized what I wanted to do. I have decided to breed champion line collies. I already have a female champion line collie that is my pet. I realized, I could just start out breeding her, but I needed a stud dog.

Everyone that I went to school with was of the same ethnicity and it seemed very normal for us, which is why after attending UW-Madison, I became much more aware of the different ethnicities and the problems that come with them. In high school, we talked about racism in past tense as if it was on the verge of extinction, when really there acts of racism taking place millions of times

When I later learned of the school play, something told me once again, “mush.” That March, my parents watched me walk on stage and become Aladdin.

“ Dang, all my money is gone.” is all I can think about as I sit in after school detention. You are probably wondering how I ended up in such a predicament, being broke and in trouble, but this is the story of how my perfect week turned bad, then perfect, then right back bad.

At practice that day Coach Wanda announced that the 9th-grade cheer team would get to perform with the Senior cheer team Friday night during the football game halftime

Going into high school you need to make some big decisions. You need to decide whether you are going to put effort into your school work, or if you're going to go party on the weekends. You need to decide if the consequences are worth it. I went into to high school with the mindset that I was going to put in effort, do my school work, and to follow my parents rules. My favorite classes so far in high school are Culinary, World History, and English 10. I love all three of those teachers because we

Back in Oregon I was happy to be there. Sure during the time I stayed there it would always rain there until the summer but I was still happy there. I had great friends, I was going to a new and fun school and it was great. But then one day I was forced to move away from there near the end of the school year. When I knew I was moving I was so sad to move away from my friends and they would probably miss me as much as I would miss them. I remember very well how it happened; like it was yesterday

Going into high school, I knew I wanted to be an involved student to help me get the best experience I possibly could. I wanted to do more than just go to school for seven hours, come home, and repeat. My middle school passion for gymnastics drove me to try out for the cheer team and over the years, I slowly expanded my boundaries. I went from being on JV, to coaching the JV cheer team, to becoming more of a leader on campus. Renaissance gave me this opportunity. Within Renaissance, my class and

We finished that afternoon discussing your plans after high school. We walked down the avenue and eventually made it to the pier, sometimes almost holding hands. “I just hope I make it that far.” You sounded as if you were terminally ill.

This experience takes me back to third grade when I used to catch the school bus every day at 7:40 am. Every day I would get up at 6:30 am, get ready and then go out of the house a few minutes early to wait for the bus. Once I get on the bus I put on my headphones so I can tune everyone out. The bus carries kids from Kindergarten through fifth grade. Every day the bus was very loud and sometimes dangerous. I would glance to one side of the bus and see kids flying out of their seats, boys fighting

Throughout the first half of my high school career, I definitely would describe myself as a follower. I went along with whatever my friends did just to try to “fit in”. This all changed as I entered my junior year of high school. One day at field hockey practice, a few senior girls invited some of my friends and I to a party that they were having that night. I knew that there would be alcohol there and I knew it was not a good idea. Most of my friends were excited to be invited to a party with

I got really tired of dealing with by myself so I did something about it. Before I got to high school I went to a small country school here in Orland. I had a lot of fun times, but the bad part about having a twenty student class is that what you do sticks with you for a while.

Fourteen-year-old Kelly hopped off the school bus in front of her house. First day of high school! Things are looking up now, she thought cheerfully. She took the key out of the side pocket of her backpack and opened the door to the kitchen. Her eyes fell on the dirty dishes in the sink. I should have done those last night, she thought guiltily.

I continually put myself in these leadership positions starting in tenth grade where I took a chance and became project leader of a small engineering group.
