The words “We are Moving” seem to come out of my parents mouth in slow motion just like her fist past my face. In my life I have moved twice this has had both a positive and negative impact to my life. I moved from Hempfield to United then United to Indiana. When I was in the 8th grade my parents told us that we were going to be moving due to my dad's new job. This was both exciting and devastating news to me. I knew telling my friends would be hard and leaving them would be even harder. Within a month we had to make the move. When we first got to the new house all I remember is thinking to myself is where the heck did my parents move us to. The thing about United was that it was so small it was probably a quarter of the size of Hempfield. …show more content…
Since it was a really weird day, I had to sit in the Guidance Office until they could figure out my schedule. They had this girl named Cheyenne come and help me find my way around and take me to lunch. When we got there lunch was already halfway. We had to ask on of the teachers to open the door so we could eat. I hated this because I could feel everyone staring at me I never felt more out of place in my life. My first real class of the day was math and my teacher was named Mrs.Sexton she told me to sit next to this girl named Taylor and the immediately said “Don’t put the new kid next to me!”. “Why?”, asked Mrs. Sexton and she responded “Because i’ll scare her!” needless to say I still had to sit by her and we actually became good friends. When we came home from what felt like a day that would never end. My brother told me he witnessed a fight. These two boys started fighting in the hall after 7th period and the teacher had to break them up. The next day I was coming out of lunch and the next thing I know is this girls fist comes flying past my face. Someone had pulled me back before I had got hit and a fight immediately broke out between two girls. All I really remember was that one girl got her weave pulled out and they called her weave girl for the rest of the
In grade 2 on the weekend I went to my friends house for a sleepover and we started playing with his little brother. We played a few games and nothing went wrong. Then we played a game where we were running away from his brother and he had to catch us. So we ran upstairs and into his room. We covered the door so he couldn’t get in, but eventually we let him in and he couldn’t get my friend so he went for me. When he finally got me he grabbed my legs and I fell and my head hit the corner of his bed and I was bleeding and screaming like crazy. So I ran down the stairs screaming my bloody head off. So hi mom drove me to the hospital and gave me ice: for my head. When we got the the hospital I was so scared I wasn’t even
When I was 7 years, I moved from my home in Australia to the other side of the planet to Dallas Texas. When I heard that I was moving, I felt a wave of despair wipe over me. As Taylor says “I have never in my own memory been outside of Kentucky” (Kingsolver 12). This was the same for me since I had never been
As I walked to school with my lunch that was in a plastic bag. Once we got into school and got in the building my teacher Mr. Williams took attendance and five minutes later we turned around and got on the bus. It was windy and there were leaves blowing all over the place. Last year my 5th grade at John Stewart elementary school was going to Leroy Oakes in St. Charles for team building. It was a fall day and it was chilly. I had my drawstring on my back with my lunch and had three coats on. We turned onto a road called Dean Street and it was bordered by grass. I saw the Leroy Oaks sign, and my bus went over a speed bump that threw my class off balance. After awhile my class off the bus with a skip and a jump in my step. Then I was super excited that our
Maybe it’s the fact that I tend to stay in my room all weekend, which leads to people thinking I’m studying when in reality I am probably binge watching a TV show or maybe it’s my glasses, but most people who don’t know me too well assume that I am smart. Now that is a great thing for me because I don’t have to try as hard to impress them, but I end up finding myself in a bit of a problem. The problem is that everyone thinks I enjoy admiring school textbooks. But the truth is I’m usually admiring my Justin Bieber poster on my bedroom wall. Ever since I was in sixth grade I’ve been a huge fan of Bieber. His music always brought a feeling of calmness and back in the day his “never say never” motto, was what I lived by. I might still be living by that motto because I’ve decided to write this essay
Are we going to live in the desert? Will we have to ride horses to get everywhere? Those were the questions that came out of my mouth at the age of nine when I heard, at the time, the worst news I could hear. It was a typical summer evening in Springfield, Missouri, with my parents and two siblings, Anthony and Ashley. We were sitting in our backyard around the fire pit listening to the trees whisper as they blew in the wind and watching the fireflies zoom around the night sky. My mom let out a big sigh and looked at my dad; he then looked at us with an expression I could not read. I could tell he was having a hard time figuring out how to break the news to us; then, without any warning or explanation, he ecstatically blurted out, "Kids, We are moving to Texas!" At the time, I was unaware that moving to Texas was about to be the best thing ever to happen to me. Starting new chapters in your life by moving can often bring a whole new experience with many life lessons and great opportunities.
I was in Tybee Island for a school trip when they called my teacher. I was dissecting a squid with my classmates; we were using the ink bags to write our name. My teacher called me outside to talk and I was paranoid that I was in trouble. The teacher looked at me with a sad face and I was confused at what she was sad about.
I was a typical 6th grader with a love for social time and hatred towards pointless homework. As I was tapping my foot on my creaking wooden desk with my book opened pretending to read, Mr. Daniels was watching over me like a bird that just gave birth to chicken eggs. I had a feeling she was going to ask me a question about what I was reading. I realized from that point on to always trust my instincts. Mrs. Daniels tall toothpick shaped body leaned over and asked me to summarize the first chapter in front of the whole class. Due to not even beginning to read the first page I told her I did not even know where to begin. Since I was not prepared for class, not participating, and being rude about my task at hand I received a punishment. My punishment was every week I had to write a summary in my own words about the chapter I had read. My eyes rolled in the back of my head so far I didn't know if they would ever go back to normal. I knew my life was over at this
Elementary school was the unpleasant for me. I remember my fifth-grade year when the teacher ignored me, and was bullied by a student. After being called names, pushed down and punched was the highlight of many days. The teacher was turning a blind eye, it was not until an obvious injured occurred that the school finally reacted. Because the teacher doubted my ability to learn, my strengths were left unnoticed. That year I did not pass my CRCT” S (Criterion-Referenced Competency Test). My mom told me they tried
I got to my swim class and sat down. It was a very warm day, a day that I would remember for a long time. Well we all sat on the dock listing to them give instructions on what to do and stuff like that. But I was hot, so I took off my shirt, first mistake. The girls sitting across from me stared at me and were whispering to each other, but I had no idea what they were saying. So I did the class but as I got out of the water I was behind the two girls. They were laughing, the first one said
The story about I Martranika Gross, called changing my life. It all begin with many ideals that I had in mind to become while changing my life so my daughter will fix in. First was continue my education at Strayer University and a journey to follow. Next, becoming a role model with a pathway lay out for my daughter, a showing her not to stay you can’t to become successful. Finally, overcome obstacles first you have to have faith within yourself, and the key word is knowledge.
Moving your body makes your position change; you're physically not where you just were. Moving your life gives you a life change; you're not going to be in the same mental space as you once were.
My rosy pink, baby cheeks lay against the chilling cold window instantly cooling down my burning face. My dark, dull brown eyes stared blankly out into the gloomy blue sky. I saw autumn approaching fast with the multicolored leaves flying wherever the strong blowing wind decided to take them. I started recapping the goodbye’s I had to say to my friends, family and my childhood “boyfriend.” I grew an irritating anger towards my father, for, at the time, I was too young to fully understand; it was not his fault. After seeing my heated glare at him, my father promise me that we would never move again. He assumed that I would make friends in no time.
Perhaps my most gratifying research experience was also my biggest research obstacle. During my early undergraduate research in Professor Paul Sternberg’s Lab, I had grown to learn how to communicate science, determine the important experiments to conduct and obtain the necessary laboratory skills. These experiences came from my project in engineering C. elegans to express a photosensitive archaea proton pump in the mitochondrial membrane to explore how we can engineer a more efficient strain of C. elegans. In this process, I learned to construct plasmids using molecular biology and learned to introduce these genetic changes by injections and genetic crosses. Each successive step, I learned to troubleshoot and optimize. The hardest task to
I remember the year my Highschool team went to the state championship. My team the Kansas City Hawks went up against the twelve time champs The St.Louis Kings. What made them twelve time champs was us. Every time my team went to the championship The Kings met us there. All twelve times The King where the victors. January 25,2024 The Hawks were on a warpath for that Championship.
How would I feel I someone I loved died? It is not a question that most people ask themselves frequently, but it is one that often comes up when they read or hear about a notable person that has passed or was killed, or even just a news story about a woman who lost her son. I had the unfortunate experience of discovering what that felt like firsthand.
