Junior Year Narrative

School was exactly how I had imagined it to be while I was in grade school. I had the privilege of having recess, early lunch hours, and most importantly, naptime! The day I started sixth grade, my whole world seem as if it flipped upside down. I was no longer at the top of the “food chain”, school was way more stressful, and I had, in fact, found new talents within myself.

In my Freshman year, I had joined my school’s Leo Club, there were about 20-25 students in this club as it had just started the year before. I became active in that club, volunteering about once every month or so, whenever there were events. In my Sophomore year, I convinced several of my friends to join as well. The club has grown since and last year, I was elected treasurer of the club. As an officer, I help to run all of the meetings and this year we have over 40 new members. The Leo Club was once the smallest club in the school, but now it is one of the largest with nearly 100 members. Our club advisors from the local Lions Organization advise several other clubs in neighboring school districts, but they have repeatedly said that we are

Most thirteen year olds crave the attention of older kids, particularly boys. In my case, I dreaded it. I was born shy. My natural instinct when someone approached me was to look away, and if they talked to me – heaven forbid – I would smile, blush, and then quietly mumble something inaudible only to become more embarrassed. It wasn’t necessarily my fault, my entire family had a natural shyness about them. We rarely craved the limelight and for the most part it worked out just fine, that is until we were forced into an assertive role. Along with the attention, most kids want to be the kid who hits the big shot, has the token girls on his arms and is adored by just about everyone. That’s every kid’s dream – except for mine. My experience in

In every kids life they get to do one thing in school and that is go to junior high. Coming from a small elementary school to a big kid school can take a while to get used to. Metting the teachers were some of the scariest times about starting junior high.

Sadness, desperation, and the thought of failure plagued my brain as I went into my second day of Sophomore year in high school. I had grown to dislike school a lot as it felt like all the fun I used to have was slowing diminishing into nothing. As I walked to my next class, I looked down to make sure I had the right room number. I did, it was time for English which I was not looking forward to. But, to my surprise, this English class would change everything

Education has always been something I have been passionate about. I love learning new things and also being around different kind of people. I learned early on my high school career I wanted to graduate high school a year earlier than my original class. Sophomore year of high school and made the decision of taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life.

Being a freshman is the hardest of your four years in high school. Have you ever been pressured to be the best person you can be? This is how my year was as a freshman. Freshman year was the most different I never thought I would of found my way around the school when I first started to go there. Freshman year was the best year throughout my years of high school and it was the only year I had friends. During this year I had a lot of anxieties which dealt with me thinking I’m gonna be alone and not have any friends throughout the year to support me through the whole thing. Also, I would think of the pressure of not doing good in any of my classes so I would think it would affect my GPA in the future. The transition from middle school to high school was a different type of thing to do.

Rounding into my junior year of high school I would find myself need my brother more than ever. Around the end of first semester my mother informed us that the doctors had found a mass located on one of her ovaries and need to do a biopsy. Knowing that cancer runs in our family I assumed the worst, but my mom assured me that everything would be ok, but while waiting for the results of her biopsy my father had a massive heart attack. My world was crumbling around me, both my parents were exiled to Mercy hospital, the same hospital where I begun my life could be the same place were my parents ended theirs. While my parents remained sequestered to their hospital beds my brother moved back into the house. He took on the responsibility of looking

Freshman year was mostly fun for me, but you must watch out for the people who are not really your friend. There are lots of people in this world that act like your friend, but they really aren’t. Those type of people only want to be in your business. I made a lot of new friends, there were a few upperclassman girls that told me high school is scary,and people will not like you if you did these certain things; Stand in the middle of the hallway and talk to your friends, walk slow up the stairs, take forever to open your locker, is not athletic in p.e.. Those are a few of the things I was told as a coming in Freshman. Some of the Juniors would try to start drama with me, but I did not let it affect me. I stayed true to myself and did not let other people bring me down. I stayed laughing and having a good time with my three best friends; Kelsey,Angelica, and Taylin.

On my first day of the freshman finding where to sit in the lunchroom was my biggest obstacle. I would randomly just sit at a table until I knew who was sitting there. Luckily for me my friends sat there. I lost my best friend my sophomore year her name was Kaci Rowe. She never had a boyfriend in her life because her parents wouldn’t allow her dating. So when she got a boyfriend she would be really rude towards me and wouldn’t want anything to do with me. I was hurt and confused. I was sitting in my room crying wondering what I did to deserve such a heartbreak. I’m a senior now and we haven’t been friends since that day my sophomore year. I also met my boyfriend during my sophomore year his name is Chandler lewis. He was always bugging me

Since my Freshman year in High School, I have been involved in many activities. The summer going into my freshman year, I was involved in was a camp called JUNE Project. It is a service camp based in Pottstown, PA. During the fall of my freshman year, I took the book for the freshman Field Hockey team. For the past three years, and I plan to continue for my last year, I have been taking the book and taking pictures for the high school’s Baseball team. Also, I helped run a Youth Praise and Worship band during my sophomore and junior year. For the past three years, and my final year in high school, I have been an assistant Sunday School teacher for St. Peters United Methodist Church. As assistant Sunday School teacher, I help create lesson plans

"In school you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson." A quote I came across the summer before my senior year of high school from Tom Bodett, an American author. This quote hit me hard because it's 100% true. Knowing you come across trials and tribulations. It can be physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally draining. No matter how you are effected by it God wouldn't put you in a situation he knows you can't get out of which is the test. The lesson is learning from that situation and adapting so you can proven it from happening again. Since then I been looking at life like a timeless final exam. Every problem in my life I take time and work it out and break it down to make

In the closing of my senior year, I experienced an emotion that I had not expected. I began to feel overwhelmed by disappointment. The last year of high school was meant to be memorable; unforgettable because of the excitement, not the disheartening moments. And yet, when surveying the previous months, those times were all I could remember.

My Freshman year was one of the most surprising years I had at Euclid because when I came out of Pinnacle Academy I thought high school would be easy, but after Freshman orientation I realize that high school would be a roller coaster of a ride for me. The first day of my high school life at Euclid began August 14, 2013 lucky for me it was just Freshman and Sophomore students I was glad because sometimes your parents or family members will tell you things that aren’t true like Senior’s will stuff you in lockers, steal your money and etc but I realized that I’m a different person and I won’t be one of those students. But overall my first year at Euclid wasn’t that bad

I was expecting junior year to the best, but honestly it was the worst semester. I can honestly say I have no idea how I passed with no fails. I stopped and thank the universe for my recovery because there's no doubt my momma would beat me down to a pulp. I went back to my old habits of not paying attention in class, talking and distracting other and I even started to finish up yesterday's homework in advisory. My mentality was “I’ll bring it up at the end.” This is what I did by the way! Dreams do come true kids. Nevertheless, I slacked off a lot of my classes, I was still involved in extracurricular activities like, volleyball, HOPE, and on the side volunteering. Even with all of these extra activities I wasn’t going to be able to further
