Personal Narrative: Break-Up In High School
Break-ups are hard. For me, especially, since this is my first love we're talking about here. I gave five years of my life to that ass and he left me because he thought the relationship was too vanilla. It's not as if he has anything to brag on his side, but I should have expected Ryan to be the kind to pin the blame entirely on me.
I admit, I have been holding on for a bit longer than I should—I guess you can say that I haven't moved on, even though it has already half a year. If there's one thing I've learnt from my late mother, though, is to always hold my head up high.
That is precisely the reason why I've landed myself a job as a teacher here in Wenchester High. I've decided to start completely afresh, so I left behind my old job and moved

MacPherson heaves, edging the file towards me with a finger. "All the other teachers seem to be busy with other projects, so I could only approach you."
"You see, Mr. Warren is transferring to Perion High over in the West district tomorrow. Aside from his duties as a gym teacher, he was also handling several... wayward students of ours. Three, to be precise. He was their personal guidance counselor and was working on correcting their behavior."
They must be the typical high school delinquents. I nod along attentively.
"It is unfortunate to say this but it seems as though his method of discipline has not been effective," Mr. MacPherson wheezes, rubbing at his forehead.
"These three managed to get themselves embroiled in more trouble. This time, it's much more serious than their previous offenses. A female student has accused them of sexual harassment. There was not enough evidence so the case was closed, but knowing those three, it'll be a grave mistake to let them go scot-free."
Mr. MacPherson clicks his tongue in evident distaste before continuing, "I need you to take over Mr. Warren's place as their personal guidance counselor. He has counseling sessions with them every Wednesday after assembly at 2 p.m. His lesson plans are all inside this

    Throughout my years of high school I have always strived for the best grades that I could attain, and they didn’t come easy. There were plenty of distractions that had driven me off course. Whether it was long hours at practice, volunteering for my community, or having a part-time job, I couldn’t let these activities hinder my grades. This purpose had sprung in me, to not only strive in my extracurricular activities, but also my schoolwork. Balancing both school and additional activities wasn’t a simple task. This led me to many sleepless nights, in which I had to tutor myself on certain topics I was struggling on. This ranged from my hardest subject, to studying extra hours on my hardest class, and even simple topics that I needed extra work…

    I had to dig deep for this! Dig deep to figure out what big problems I faced throughout these past years. It wasn't easy for me because I faced many difficulties throughout my life. Then I remember a time in my first 2 years of high school. I was oblivious. Confuse about my future. Whether I wanted to do something after high school. I have to admit school wasn't my priority in freshman year. I wouldn't get the best grade, but they weren't the worst either. All I cared about is having friends. Then something hit me. Seeing all these seniors not graduate on time. Seeing many kids struggle financially after high school. I eventually notice that those who go to college succeed more. Especially being a minority it's extremely difficult to succeed…

    The last time I remember something as huge as starting in high school was having to move to Oregon from Alaska, but for better or for worse, here I am, attempting to make my mark on this big blue Earth. However, Highschool was never always just peaches, cream, rainbows and unicorns. If I’m to be one hundred percent honest here, I was legitimately terrified of it, whether it be the totally reasonable fear of being stuffed into a locker by a bully or getting lost in a labyrinth of corridors and passages of infinite classes and broom closets. But those fears never truly emerged up until the final days of freedom that remained from my graduation of 8th grade. As the days drew nearer, so did my fear reaching the brim of a breakdown. I was scared,…

    People who go through a break up happen to feel pain equivalent to being physically injured. I am currently trying to recover from a relationship I thought was going to last. The moment we met everything was alive. They would speak, and it was as if I could see the colors admitting from a beautiful symphony. The connection we had was strong enough to cut the tension in a room. The emotions were fresh, and understanding one another came as second nature. Though the afternoon when everything came tumbling down, my mind was racing trying to catch up with reality. Not knowing how to cope with the sudden change only made the chase of coming back a longer process. Contemplating on how in the beginning I was seeing symphonies, but now all I could…
