Harold Durstan Kwigova was born May 26 1997, approximately 1 Am in the morning. I grew up in Doula, Cameroon in West Africa. Growing up I used to stay with my grandparents for the most part while my mom was working. It used to be just my older sister Ingrid and me. My older sister is two years older than me; we grew up taking care of each other while my mom was at work. When I was 5, we moved to the United State. Living in the U.S was different but I adapt quick. I attended two different elementary schools while growing up; one was called Carole Highland Elementary School in PG County. My mom had two jobs trying to take care of my older sister and I. A couple of years went by and my mom had my little sister Tiffany. Then it was just my sisters and I taking care of each …show more content…
I actually had fun in that school, the only thing I regret is not being able to play football my 8th grade year. During the summer of my 8th grade, I volunteered in a Summer Leadership Program at a rec center. It was like a camp for two weeks were I was one of the camp leaders and responsible for making sure the kids have fun. I enjoyed doing that for the most part. Going into high school, I was excited because my older sister already attends the school I’m about to go to. Coming into high school, I decided not to wear my freshest outfit the first day of school because I knew everyone was going to do that, I thought I had the game figured out so I wore my freshest outfit the second day of school. I played football all of high school so I knew some people already because I was on the football team. Going into my sophomore year, I lost my virginity. During my sophomore year, aside from football, I was part of this program called Teen Club, it was an after school tutoring program that provides a place to get assistance with my schoolwork, perform community service, and attend educational workshops. That year I also played JV basketball and Varsity
Well let me tell you about my life. I’ll start back in 6th grade, when i attended Sylvan Hills Middle. I was at that school for all my 3 years of middle school. That was the most piped up school ever. Everybody was cool with everybody. I done got into some trouble at the end of my 8th
George W. Bush was born in New Haven, CT, on July 6th 1946, the first child of George H W Bush. He was raised in Midland and Houston, Texas, with four siblings. There should have been five but his sister, Robin died from leukemia when she was three in 1953. George Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a U.S. Senator from Connecticut. George W. Bush's Dad, George H. W. Bush, was Vice President from 1981 to 1989 and President from 1989 to 1993. He was a big influence on his son George W. Bush’s life. George Bush attended public schools in Midland, Texas until the family moved to Houston after he finished seventh grade at a Midland Middle School. He then went to The Kinkaid School a Houston prep school for two years. George ended up finishing high school at Phillips Academy an all-male boarding school in Massachusetts, where he played baseball and his senior year was to my surprise the head cheerleader. Bush attended Yale University from 1964 to 1968, graduating with a Bachelor in history. While at Yale he was a cheerleader and a member of the Frat Delta Kappa Epsilon, and was elected the fraternity's president for his senior year. George Bush also was a member of the Skull and Bones society as a senior at Yale. In the fall of 1973, Bush enrolled in the Harvard Business School, where he earned a Masters degree of Business Administration. He is the only U.S. President to this date to have earned an M.B.A.
I’m not going to lie, high school is tough but, in the end you realize that, it leaves you with a great experience and great memories. High School has its perks and disadvantages. In High School you tend to limit yourself. There are strict rules you have to follow and a principle you have to listen to. In High School you have a total of eight classes. It’s a schedule that you follow every day from 8:00am-3:30pm. In High School everybody is separated into their own groups. You try so hard to find the one that fits you the best or, you just create one yourself. It’s a place surrounded by people that care more about what people
Growing up is not an easy thing to do. You have no idea what is going on with your body, your emotions change at the drop of a hat, and you sometimes wonder what the point of life is. However, what you do know is that Mercer is planning a party after the game Friday night and you need to be there. This is the way I seem to remember high school when I think about it for a brief second. However, when I sit down and actually give it some thought, I realize that there is so much more about those years I have forgotten about--all of the little things that happened to everyone everyday and those major events that seemed to change my life. Everything that went into making us All-American kids.
The problems that you hear about high school football are not made up and they happen at almost every school. It is hard to get away from but at my school everything was three times harder. You would think we could catch a break but we never did. We were so bad that we even lost to a team who had a smaller roster than we did. If you ever played football you would know how hard it would be to go through the hard times that I did. But, it is not the end of the world. Everyone says high school is the best time of your life, which is true, but once it is over everything seems to get better because the high school drama is over. I was so glad to have ended my senior year because now that I am in college I do not have to worry about the hard times I went through. Always cherish the good times but never forget the bad times because if you do not learn from the hard times them history will repeat
Allen Iverson was born to Allen Broughton and Ann Iverson on June 17, 1975 in Hampton Virginia. He came from a troubled background. His mother raised him and his two half-sisters by herself. The family would have to go without heat or electricity because they could not pay the bills. Allen’s situation in school was not much better. His grades were poor and he had attendance problems. Part of it may have been because of his lack of interest in his studies, but he also had family obligations. “Sometimes he had to stay home to take care of his half-sister Iiesha while his mother was working.”
I attended Mount Juliet High School for my freshman year and Lebanon High School for the remainder of my high school years. The people at Mount Juliet were very nice but kinda uptight, whereas at Lebanon most of the people were rude and bullies. I enjoyed my time at Mount Juliet high school far more better than I did in Lebanon. The people at Mount Juliet were always friendly and willing to help you whenever you need help. At Lebanon that did not happen as often as I was used to; Lebanon High School also has a big problem with bullying.
Middle school I attended C.F. Hartman Middle School for grades sixth through eighth. Again I was an honor roll as well as a member of the U.I.L. In middle

Although, most of his childhood was predominantly spent in Ghana, his education was in England. He studied at various institutions such as Bryanston School where attended private classes with other upper class children. He had his “post-primary education during his stay with his grandmother” (Kwame), which established his love for learning and built his sense of community. His grandmother, Isobel Cripps, was formerly appointed the Dame Grand Cross for her role in her community and her support in public services. Including his grandmother, he had many examples of success in his childhood. His father, Joseph Emmanuel Appiah was considered a part of the elite class in Ghana, especially in the Ashanti tribe, because of his family’s role in leadership and guidance. Throughout his father’s life, his father obtained many honorable titles. Some of
When I had first started going to Unity High School my thought about the school was it was going to be hard and feeling nervous about coming the first week. I was feeling nervous the first week at Unity High School first because I didn't know anyone. After a while of being here at Unity High School I felt more comfortable because I started to see who I was going to be around and I found more people to talk to. My feeling about high school before was just wanting to hurry up and make these four years go by fast. Today I still do feel the same and just trying to become a better person by coming to school. I never thought I would attend Unity High School but when I found out more about the real world I known this school would help me more than other schools.
Coming to Spartanburg High School has been a great experience. Many people get intimidated due to the new campus, new classes, new teachers, and new students. Unfortunately, everyone is told that high school is the worse but, my painful experience was in middle school.
I am happy that I chose to go to Sullivan High School. I think that it was the right choice for me. It has done so much for me. I have met so many people that I hope to have life long friendships with. It has made me the person who I am right now. I am proud of this person I have
First, I loved elementary school! Being able to play at recess, have snack, and less assessment driven instruction, made me relish learning. Second, in my early education school years, I excelled in academics, interpersonal relationships, and was a great football player. I was one of the only “girls” who was picked to play school yard ball with the boys. The years that followed, not so much. After, elementary it was not cool for girls to play
The past four years have been fun and easy for some and a struggle for others. When I reflect on my high school experience, I think of watching football games, playing softball, homecoming weeks, school trips, parties and time with my friends. Others have spent their time in drama, band, community service, part-time jobs and all sorts of other activities. We have all watched Mr. LHS grow along with us until it became a big part of the high school year. I enjoyed laughing with and at the guys as they showed off their talents. This year’s homecoming football game was one of the most exciting ones we have had, with four quarters and three overtimes when we beat Jackson 48 to 42 for a homecoming victory. No matter what types of experiences we have had, I think they are important to remember and grow from.
Hi, my name is Rob Geis and I am currently in grade 12. I have been at County High School for a year now; I joined at the start of 11th grade, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself here. The school is great, the people are fantastic and the atmosphere is one that makes you actually want to go to school. Before I joined ASB I was studying at the Singapore American School for two years and prior to that I was at the International School of Kuala Lumpur for two years. I was born and raised here in Bombay city and grew up here.
