When I was three my mom threw me into the cruel frozen tundra of school. Eleven years later I walked into worst place for anyone can go… HIGH SCHOOL. Tucker High School was dark and gloomy with many creatures roaming the halls some were good, but most were evil. Within the good were my squad: Ebaa, James, Grant, and Sam. They could be compared to my eyes leading me to my destiny. Students in the schools are the same as coal in many ways. They have dark minds, ruin the environment, and are very combustible if you light a match (gossip). Another similarity is that there are patches of diamonds, one in a million coal's that were refined enough over time to become beautiful. Those diamonds are my squad, but were going to have to dig a bunch of coals to shine our light. Gosh, it's going to be a pain! …show more content…
During the roll call, I noticed my name wasn't called and so did my teacher, therefore I was shunned and sent to the dungeon. Once there I found a society of people. We were the outcasts of the school the students no one wanted. The only good part of being unwanted were that we were ghosts. It had its perks however, I didn't belong there either. So I ended up drifting in the nexus (the halls). Until I remembered the words of the great Booth and Todd "Come to room Beagle 311 after
Starting Middle School changed how I felt about school in general as I wasn’t babied anymore.
On October 29th Saturday, I participated in a volunteer opportunity with the democratic campaign. The office had more than 20 people, some of them were making phone calls. I received a package with a map, a list of people’s name, address, and other basic information about the person. My duty was knocking those people’s doors and ask them “who are you going to vote?” “Do you have any things that you want to say about the society?” I do not have a car so they assigned me to the place which is located in walking distance from Beloit College. A married couple who were at the office offered me a ride to Campus. Both of them are in their 50’s. They told me that they have a friend who is now teaching at a university in Tokyo, Japan. The lady also had been to Japan in 1980 as a student. Her husband did not talk much.
I walked up the long, stone stairs of Hidden Oaks Middle School. Middle school students were walking up the stairs alongside me and talking with each other. I joined this math club because I wanted to fit in and make new friends. We opened the doors and walked through the long hall filled with posters and works of students. We walked into Mrs. Janasky’s room. I sat down next to my sister and talked with her. The teacher handed us a piece of paper covered in math problems.
My pre-calculus teacher walks forward with a large stack of papers and hands me an overturned test - normally a sign of bad results. I flip the packet over and I’m devastated by what I see. On this single math exam, I receive the worst grade I’ve ever had in a class - a 56. At first, I think that everybody failed, and that maybe there’d be a curve. But as my partner receives his test back, I quickly realize I’m wrong.
On my trip to Churchill Middle School I was paired with a sixth grader named Finley Kane. Finley takes eight classes every day and it placed in Accelerated English and Accelerated Math. These classes are more advanced classes for the students that are ahead of the rest of the grade.
Everyone seemed to be having the time of their lives, the feeling of being free from high school finally sinking into their minds. Forgetting about all of their problems for the night, and letting loose. My mom always says that I’ll regret this when I grow up; not living the full high school experience. But what is really considered the “high school experience”? It is just going to parties, homecoming dances, prom, and being in relationships? How cliché.
My Ridgeview Middle School is thinking about making the school hours longer. I completely disagree about this because I believe it's a little too hard any ways with the time, but now there's upgrading the time and making harder on everyone else.If the schools are making the hours longer then sometimes people need to just stick with what they got and be thankful for what they have because it might be over soon.
Two years ago I made a choice, a choice I didn't think would change my life that
High school is one of the biggest decisions that I, as a young teenager, has to make. I am truly concerned that I am going to choose a school that is not going to help me. Though immediately as I walked through the doors of Thomas More High School for the open house in 2014, I knew right then and there that this was the school for me. I loved the environment and how everyone was so welcoming. The academics fit perfectly for what I want to do in my future. There are other little details that really sold me on the school. It had ultimately a great school that had everything that I could ever ask for.
This year's week of torment was heightened by an untimely cold spell; more than two thirds of our original class had already quit. Running on soft sand beaches while wearing combat boots, getting a facemask full of salt water while lugging twin steel scuba tanks on your back, being soaking wet and covered with sand... these are enough to make most people question their desire to finish the program. But it was the cold that claimed the most victims. We shivered through the nights and well into the mornings, the chill of the air seeping into our very bones. Visions of hot meals and warm beds haunted us; we knew that ending the suffering and the cold was as easy as quitting the program. And quitting was so very east. Simply stand in front of your classmates and ring a silver ship's bell three times...
My realtor previously said, “Out of all the places you lived, Lindale will by far be the best and most favorite ever.” By the age of fourteen I had moved four times across the country. The United States consists of millions of towns with millions of inhabitants; however, when a foreigner invades the people are not consistently cordial.
High-School, and follows Ms. Gruwell, a new teacher, and her class: room 203. Her class, a seemingly troubled bunch, are all involved in different gangs that are based on ethnicity; this results in their poor academic grades and a lack of concern for schooling, as well as acts of violence amongst the students. By caring for the students’ well-being and implementing different and interactive exercises in the classroom, the students begin to work together and form a new social group within that classroom; one that accepts each other inside and outside of room 203.
Every day that I walk through Pineville High School, I feel as though I am receiving some sort of a lesson. Whether it be to always walk on the right side of the hallway or to always be on time to lunch, high school constantly teaches me many valuable lessons. These lessons cover a varying amount of information and have been and always will be very useful to me. Throughout my years of high school, I have learned multiple practical, personal, and academic lessons.
The week of October 2nd through October 6th began with an ARD on Monday morning at 9:10 a.m. the meeting went for about an hour and the parents were concerned about some of the teachers who are not providing the accommodations according to the individual needs of the student. As a committee, we discussed some changes that needed to be recorded and the administrator assured that she would call in the teachers who were not adhering to these policies. I attended a faculty meeting where we discussed Title 1, the McKinney Vento Act, Leap Forward, CBA’s, flat panels, homecoming, red ribbon week, attendance policies, band achievement awards, duty, and technology. Ms. Menchaca spent some time explaining to the staff the importance of submitting attendance on time because she
Since we were the new kids, we had to assemble in the school hall with
