Personal Narrative: My Journey To High School
Looking back to middle school I remember the fear I had for someday having to go to high school. My teachers always told me how different and harder it would be when I went. My older sister was in 9th grade at the time and I wanted ti be with her when I went. But the high school she was at was different from the one all my friends were going. I always had a hard time making decisions and now I had to choose between going to a school with my friends or going to a school that would help me prepare for the future. So I decided I would just apply to my sisters school to see if I got accepted, going into the interview I wasn't really scared because it didn't matter to me, I just thought whatever happens, happens. Surprisingly I got accepted and

    Personal Narrative: My High School Career

    The reason my academics aren’t going well as you or I would like is because of the several family issues I’ve had to face during my high school career. It began my Sophomore year, I found out my mom needed surgery in her arm so the chances of her cancer spreading would be reduced. I was under a great deal of stress worrying about my mother, taking care of my four siblings making sure they knew everything was going to be okay, even though I wasn’t sure myself. It was all up to me; while my other brother worked to help with bills, my mom being in the hospital, and my dad working. Taking care of my siblings consisted of cooking, homework, cleaning, nightly routine, and putting them to bed. When the work was done it would be around 10 o'clock. It was already tough to buckle down and focus on homework without all the stress. With all this my first semester grade was less than great.…

    Personal Narrative: My Year Of High School

    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…

    Personal Narrative: Starting High School

    Starting high school was a terrifying idea to me. Different teachers, class times, lockers, drama! I remember that I always looked up to my older sister while she was in high school. She had tons of friends, played sports, participated in student government, and went out for the school play. I wanted to be just like her when I started high school. In middle school, I lined myself up for this, I played soccer in the fall and basketball in the winter. I helped out in the school plays, and I joined the student government. I had a group of great friends, and thought nothing bad was going to happen.…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To High School

    During my freshman year of high school I received a letter in the mail. This letter was an invitation to play basketball in Australia, with other boys and girls of my age. The date was September 13, 2011. The letter stated that we would be leaving June 1, of 2012. Of course I wanted to go as soon as I read the letter, but my family was more curious about the trip. We did some research and figured out everything that would be offered on this trip. In my research I read of playing Australian basketball games, snorkeling, swimming in the ocean, surfing, and spending three days on Tangalooma Island. This was enough to convince my family that it would indeed be a fun trip for me to attend.…

    Today was the day. Packed to the point of bursting open with new notebooks, folders, pens, pencils, and textbooks, he readied me for school. Instead of bouncing around as rambunctious young boys do, he trudged slowly in a peculiar meter of half-steps toward the doorway. He was living a new life in a new school that was filled with people who might as well have been aliens to him.…

    Ever since the beginning it has been a rollercoaster. My parents divorced when I was little. It was tough to balance two separate relationships at a young age. It still is.

    Personal Narrative: My Education Back In High School

    Have you ever done something that you regretted and wished you can undo? I did something that I regret and if I could change one thing about my life, I would change how seriously I took education back in high school. When I think about my past, I can admit that I took my high school education as a joke. For example, when I took the ACT, I left the test room earlier because I wanted to go home. I did not think about how my score would affect my education in the future. In addition, I did not attend several of my classes because I purposely skipped to have fun with my friends. By not attending classes I missed out on some important work. It was not until I decided to attend college that I realized how my past affected my present and future.…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Moving To High School

    My proudest moment would have to be when I passed the two-STAAR tests that allow me to move on to high school. My history with state tests has never been too great. I moved to Texas in fourth grade, I was just starting to get used to everything. I failed my first STAAR tests. For fifth graders, passing was a requirement. Since I was moving on to a new grade level , I had to pass. Unfourtonaly, I failed, causing me to have to retake the tests. By the second try, I passed, barely. In sixth grade, I failed the STAAR tests, again. I had to have an elective removed and replaced with an extra math class. Seventh grade, I finally passed. If I would’ve passed in sixth grade, I could have taken art in seventh grade and would’ve been able to be apart…

    Personal Narrative: The First Day Of High School

    As I stepped through the doors of high school on the first day of school, I had little to no care about two things. I didn’t care about how weak my muscles were and I certainly didn’t care enough to do my homework right when I got home. It is December now and I care a whole lot more than I originally did. I took longer in the morning or I’d spend 15 minutes before I go to bed to pick to pick out my outfits, I’d cram before exams or quizzes, I’d pay attention more in class and procrastinate less after school for homework. Sometimes, I’d compare the amount of time I had then and the amount of time I have now, and what I concluded was that in the beginning of school, my time was the amount of a water bottle, and now it seemed like at least a pond. The problem with my goals, I now realize, is that they had been too hard to accomplish for me when I first set them. I did not start slow, I wrote down my goals as if they were easy to accomplish, and back then, they seemed that way. I have learned that…

    Personal Narrative Essay: My Life In High School

    While walking around a college campus, one might hear numerous things, especially different accents/languages. Most of the time hearing someone speak a different language steers a person in the opposite direction. Why? Simply because of the few questions that float in an individual’s mind. “Will they understand me?” “Do they speak English?” “Will I understand them?” I wanted to break this wall down between foreign entities and myself, and my plan went according to the task.…
