Personal Narrative: My Junior Year At South San Francisco High School

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.

Before I attended Hudson’s Bay High School I was part homeschooled, this meant I only went to school 3 times a week. However, I’m thankful I switched to being a full-time student at Bay because it introduced me to “the real world”. The public-school life was a unique experience for me since it introduced new friends and opportunities that were not available at my old homeschool. I was able to join four different sports, attend Cascadia Technical Academy, engage in student leadership programs like NHS and SALT, and finish my high school credits with Running Start. Participation in these activities has better prepared me for my future of shaping me to become an engaged and experienced adult, and with the aid of this scholarship I can complete

Once a sunny day,in San Luis middle school a big and beige school with vintage carpet and white walls.I am in the principal's office because i had made a wrong action that affected me in some way but it also help me though.However i was there because i had too many absences in my first and fourth period.I had too many absences because i was a immature girl that didn’t heard what my parents and teachers use to say to me,and because the only thing that matter to me was having fun with my friends without measuring the consequences.

Junior year. My junior year I realized things about myself that I hadn’t previously known. Things I’ve never done before and things people thought I couldn’t do. Situations I thought I wouldn’t be in and there I was. Junior year, I did it.

Trees whipped past Jim as he looked out of the window. Jim’s family was moving once again for his dad’s job. His family was moving to San Diego, California. Jim was fourteen turning fifteen in about a month. He was extremely skinny and weighed ninety pounds. Jim's parents were constantly wanting Jim to eat more to weigh more and hopefully in the long run grow more. Jim height is five feet four inches, he had short, straight brown hair. The aspect of Jim that distinguished him from most kids was his huge smile and a large mole on the back of his neck. Jim was extremely excited about the warm weather, beaches and new friends he would hopefully make. He was also a little bit sad about leaving his hacking buddy, Andrew in Bardwell, Kentucky.

Throughout my two years attending Oakland High School, there have been many impactful educational experiences. The choices that I have made during the last two years here have shaped me into the significant leader I am today.

I learned some important things in my sixth grade year at Cascade Middle School. I

My sophomore year at Buena High School has had a large impact in my life from the sports I’ve played, the people I met, and the knowledge I have gained. This year I played tennis and rode mountain bikes, both of which were for the school. In doing these sports I have met many amazing and talented people that will forever have an impact on my life. Also there is the knowledge that I have gained from my teachers and fellow peers that I will use in the following years to advance my education further.

I am currently in my Sophomore year at Loveland High School. I have been working hard toward saving money for my own car so that I am able to commute to work and school. I currently have my temps but will be able to receive my drivers license on my birthday in January. I have ran the idea past my mom of buying a second car for Catherine and me to use. Although, with the financial circumstances we are currently in we can not afford to pay for a second car with just her income alone, as it is far too expensive. This is why I am working hard to make some extra money. I currently have about $1200 saved and I can not work during the school year because of my academic involvement. If i only work during the summer it will be quite difficult for

The first step I took in the Cupertino High School band room, I instantly knew that this is where I belong. The drums on the shelves, tubas hanging from the wall, all the joyous people in the room just made me happy. This is my first year at Cupertino as a 14 year old, and band sounds really fun and interesting, so I decide to join. It is August 2015, and I went in for registration, and measure out sizes for everything, I could not wait for what is lying in front of me.

Back in highschool, I had about a handful of friends. It was our Junior year and around this time I began to realize that friends start to change, and once, especially within a group of friends, thoughts begin to spread, and change the mind of others around them. This happened over the course of my Junior and Senior year at San Leandro High School with my closest of friends, Ian, Andy, Cory, Michael. Between the six, Michael was one of the friends whom I was closest to, Until the minds of the other 3 and I began to think

I participated in Football my freshman year of high school , I also ran track my Sophomore year of high school. I have been in AVID two years out of the four I’ve been in high school. I also have interest in weightlifting and finances. I worked at KFC and Bojangles as head cooks. I would say overall all the clubs and organizations I’ve participated in taught me the importance of organization and teamwork also the importance of high communication

At the start of my freshman year at the University of California - Santa Cruz I was immensely scared. I came out of Deer Valley High School with a Grade Point Average of 3.33 and a weighted GPA of 3.47. The reason this intimidated me was because the average GPA at UCSC was 3.88. However, instead of feeling that I did not belong in the school, I used that as motivation to show my peers that I am not only on the same tier as them but even above. I ended up with a 3.66 my first quarter and a 4.0 my next two quarters while holding two

Junior year has been my most challenging year because it was a time where I balanced academics, work, and extracurricular activities. My typical days consisted of high school classes, cheer practice, diving practice, and college courses in the evening or working. My goals were to be in the top ten of my graduating class, earn a letter achievement in diving and cheer, and to save enough money to purchase a car for college. It was a time of adjustment to handle all these activities and complete the tasks excellently. I pushed myself by keeping my goals in mind every day. In the end I know that hard work will pay off. I changed how I used my time and used it more efficiently. I completed homework at school so that I could put my undivided attention

My time in High School was made difficult from the constant strife and conflict between my parents. This made my home an unstable environment not fitted for learning or growing as an individual. As I got older and closer to graduating High-School, I began to find my own voice with the help of my mentor Rahn Fleming, which occurred at the end of my junior year. As a result, I came in control of my life and the constant feuding started to die down. No longer did I have to worry about the next scheduled court date, or the next time I would come home wondering what may await. I felt like I was always walking on broken glass for the longest of time throughout my life, until I began to voice myself and what I wanted. My parents came to realize this
