thing called life

High school is like a jungle or a zoo, sometimes it even feels like the movie maze chaser it 's that thing you have to to do in order to get to the next thing in life it’s like if you skip this one important step everything else just crumbles like a cookie. See that 's the thing I had no idea where I was going I was just drifting in the dead sea and that 's when my ship crashed.

It’s 2013 my junior year of high school you know, prom the guy of your dreams is about to ask you out, you driving that new honda accord your parents just got you because you passed your DMV drivers test, about to get hired to work at forever 21, you have the best squad goals ever to go to homecoming with and you and your mom have the tightest daughter and mother relationship you could ever ask for right?, WRONG that was anything but my reality.

Now I wasn 't your average bad kid the one who flipped desks over, walk out of class, bad mouth the teacher and really just think it was funny to be the class clown that got in trouble in fact I was the polar opposite I was the raise your hand, wait for your turn, all around study buddy type of student but it all went wrong I would do my homework but not hand it in or I just didn 't have it done most of the time.

It’s 2013 my junior year of high of school the house phone would not and could not stop ringing, it was as if we worked in the emergency room of a hospital, every time I saw my school name pop up on the screen I knew it meant nothing good, in that moment in time all I could do was wish I could go invisible like susan storm from the fantastic 4. I was dreading what was next my name to be called down to prosecution as I made my way down the stairs I was moving as slow as gary on s...

... middle of paper ...

...til you can show me you can do what needs to be done and will make something out of yourself. I 'm in silence as tears are rolling down my face.

Present day February 16,2016 as I sat and wrote this paper it brought out so many emotions I wasn 't sure how much detail to put some conversations where raw and other times we didn 't even speak, I have now been in college for a total of 3 weeks coming up on my fourth things really haven 't changed I call her here and there because she won 't allow me to go a month without calling I don 't know who 's mother would but it 's on a better track I guess I just still wish things would go back to the way they were before high school, before the betrayal, before it was time for me to make life changing decisions but that 's life. I will make sure to keep you updated for the summer of 2016 sincerely the girl who was lost in life.

    The sweat was dripping down my face as I pushed the weights off my chest. Everyone ran towards their bags after a student said there was a gun in school. Twitter was the first source that we checked just to make sure. Boom! The door slammed open as coach Ben yells “Hurry up and get out”. My heart started beating faster and faster. We didn’t know what was going on. As we were running to the gym everyone was panicking and pushing each other. I could feel the burn on my elbow but I didn’t know what it was.

    My fellow classmen, as we look back on our years here at school we should remember the meaningful words of a fellow class member of mine when she said, "Dude, where's my iPod?" It's hard for me to think of a better way to describe the many layers of adolescence, because deep down aren?t we all "dudes?" Do we not all have our inner "iPods", and are we not constantly searching for them? Now, we're leaving our childhood behind to study the vast sphere we call planet Earth, into the notorious world of high school, where things will be so much different. Of course we will still have our varied studies, Geometry, Biology, maybe even Forensics or an Accelerated English class here and there. We will still struggle with the daily setbacks formed by peers and strict teachers and principals. But so much of our lives will change. The cars in the parking lot will be driven by, well, students. Our male friends will grow a little fuzzy around the face, and of course, our day will most likely begin with a bell that actually works.

It was a gorgeous May morning, the rays of sun flittered through my miniblinds blinding me as if I hadn’t seen light in days.

    It was one of the most exciting and nerve racking days of our lives. Although we were finally leaving high school, the feeling of being unsure didn’t go away. The whole day was full of practicing for the big moment when the entire class graduated on to a new beginning. All the girls wore shiny bright red robes and the guys were dressed in a shiny navy blue. Standing there, I had no idea what to expect. Some things I were aware of, my friends were leaving and we wouldn’t be the same friends anymore. My role was that of being so aware of the future that I was too shocked to soak in the present; being a pessimist was my main goal and everything I was sure of became true.

    It was what seemed like another regular Sunday morning. I woke up, and got ready for school, I left quickly to the bus station and I arrived just in time. I like taking the bus because it gives me time to think to myself, my school is far from my house so I have plenty of time to think. The bus was empty as usual, I sat in the back where no one can see me like I always do. After 40 minutes the bus arrived to school. I don’t like going to school, because I usually end up spending the day on my own, I don’t have friends at my school, you always hear the stories about the kids that are being bullied at school, but you never hear about the people like me, that are so pathetic that no one even bothers to care about them, people like me we are like ghosts at the school, no one wishes us to have a good day, no one wants to do school projects with us, no one wants to seat with us in class, we are invisible for most people.

  • Personal Narrative Essay: My Four Year Journey At Northview

    1048 Words  | 3 Pages

    “It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times.” This is a quote I heard long ago before I had started my four year journey here at Northview. Though I had no idea how accurate and meaningful this quote would be to me back then, it always stood out to me as a something short, sweet, and to the point that sums up what high school is; let me explain. Flashback to when I was 14 and just finished junior high school at Arbor Hills. It was a great three years and I actually learned a lot about people and myself, but I was not prepared for high school courses and the faster more demanding pace of the curriculum. I was very excited however, and became very interested in newer topics and different hobbies. It felt great to be moving on from a stage in life and it felt good to accomplish this, just as it feels now to be moving on from high school.
