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.

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

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 am only a sophomore, so I have not gotten the full high school experience yet. Since high school has started, I have had some great and also not so great experiences. Sports and academics have always been some of my top priorities and I have loved the sport soccer for my entire life. I have gotten and will continue to get the chance to play during my high school career. My freshman year I started off on the JV team just like the average freshman player would. I enjoyed it a lot, although the first

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. It’s also really hard to get new friends since you know the same people from kindergarten

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 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

Throughout my high school career, I realized how enlightening and informative it was to be a leader. 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. It was my first experience with engineering and with entrepreneurship (aside from my childhood days of futilely selling chocolate at a school bake sale). I was initially naïve when it came to the leadership position; I did not truly know how to

private school. In that school, there were around 20 kids in a grade (all in all about 200 between pre-kindergarten and 8th grade). Everyone had fairly the same beliefs, values, and overall character where I was pretty much the “same as everyone else”. After 8th grade, my parents decided that I was going to go to high school in a different school district all together. This meant that I was going from my class of about 19 to a class of about 219. I dreaded every moment of preparing for high school and

I constantly wonder what kind of legacy I would leave at Blue Valley High School. My principal always preaches to us we should “Leave our mark” at the school, but as an underclassman that saying never really reverberated with me. I figured once I became an upperclassman I would find my place. When I became an upperclassman, I realized I just didn’t have an overwhelming set of skills in one particular area. My brother left his mark on BVHS; he was the first doubles tennis State champion in our school’s

My High School GPA; having not once gone under a 3.8, has contributed to my placement within the top 5% of my graduating class. As good as this may seem, my middle school career was an outright contradiction. Reminiscing at my middle school career, both hurtful and unpleasant memories come to mind. 5th grade was assuredly not a great year, regardless that I even graduated. With my parents continually working overtime, they anticipated top notch grades and behavior. Furthermore, demeaning my family’s

Freshman year can be overwhelming. We’re fourteen year olds being launched into a completely new world. If it was not for marching band, I would still be lost. Joining the Eaton High School Marching band gave my spot in this school. Everyone finds their little niche in high school, and mine is band. I entered high school already knowing about fifty people because of summer band camps, and I never went through the awkward, “Where am I going to sit?” question. I had upperclassmen friends whom I still

Since I have started high school, many things have changed, but many stay maintainable. I have changed physically, I have furthered in maturity, and I have both struggled and strived to academic work.

Exactly how have these changes I’ve gone through in high school affected me? As a child, I was always thin regardless of all the unhealthy things I ate. My mother use to

blame it on someone else other than me. As I grew up it became a lot worse, I never wanted to take responsibility for my own actions. Either if was failing a class or just stupid nonsense I could never take responsibility. This continued up to high school. I was just flat out never accountable for my actions until really the middle of 9th grade. Around the time Ms. Egan came along is when I really started to develope this growth mindset where i would sit down and tell myself “ Mark nobody else is

Entering ninth grade, my transition into high school was a little rough. At the age of fourteen when my parents separated, it did not affect me emotionally. Although, the living situation did. With having to wake up at five am to take four buses from my dad’s house to school, made it difficult to adapt to the workload from school and balance my extracurriculars on the side. In my culture, the oldest child is expected to help out the most in their household. This idealism applied to me since freshman

After I got back home from school, I didn’t want to go to school again. No matter how much I pleaded my parents still made me go to school.

I can say that my life transitions did not play out as I once expected them to do when I was in my teens. As a teenager, my plans were to graduate high school, pursue a college degree, stabilize within a career, marriage, then finally start a family. That was my planned trajectory, and it was seen as appropriate in the social eye. These roles as a student, worker, wife, and finally a parent were age-graded transitions that were considered as a proper order of life transitions. As no one can predict

What is a team? My answer to that question changed over my high school basketball career.

During my first 2 years at Ygnacio Valley High School, I had played basketball for our school in a system that had never really succeeded at creating a unified team. We had players
