Personal Narrative: The New Quarter Of School

We are on week four, time is going by fast. I Just got home and went strait to my office, I want to get the class started, I am happy about my graded test last week I did well.

The semester is winding down and I am beginning to feel the incredible pressure of final assignments and exams. Where did the time go? It seems like it was only yesterday when I walked into a class filled with a sea of new faces eager to learn and now I am preparing for the final moments of this chapter of my life. It is both exciting and terrifying. Needless to say, this week was a bag of mixed emotions and although it was tough, I managed to find the silver lining of each day.

First week of class was really exciting. They added a bunch of new required actives to the curriculum and changed the recitation assignments. In recitation we no longer have a week off, it's now “drug information question”, we are assigned a drug and have to investigate any off-label uses and present it to the class in journal club fashion, this is an individual assignment.

I think things went well this week. I worked on changing some of the language in my paper and I read through the whole thing trying to get an idea of how it would sound to readers.

Another activity that I was doing during this week was getting ready for the career fair at La Salle University on March 30. One of my favorite activity this week was to do outreach at the career fair. It meant a lot for me to recruit students from my school to be potential interns at DOL (VETS). I was happy to be there and take the experience on how to be a Human Resources person. I enjoy to be there because I got to meet students and employers. Many students gave us their resume and we need to evaluate their resume and get in contact with the students. I consider that the career fair this spring semester was a success.

My weekend was great! Lol I knocked out most of my paper and reduced a large amount of my notes to outlines. So I freed up some time to study this week.

Keeping in mind of my Junior year schedule and the challenges that entails the 11th grade, I will be taking the SAT and ACT exams in the fall as well. This may impact my availability on select weekends throughout the school year. In addition, I have several school club leadership responsibilities, which may slightly impact my schedule. I have maintained a regular shift as a volunteer at the Sharp Memorial Hospital, and will spend several hours a week in regards to that commitment. However, I can easily accommodate future meetings and work in order to promote SDRJMUN. My other responsibilities vary, but I have no other

Well the first week of the semester is in the books and at this point I can wholeheartedly say I’m very happy with how things are going. Prior to last week I was anxious about beginning work in the clinic, however, I already see myself becoming more comfortable with each passing day.

I cannot wait for Monday because I will another awesome week ahead of me. I LOVE EVEREST CORE like so much. So now I am talking about my core classes. So we are going to have so much fun in science, we are going to dissect frogs. plus a lot more. In language arts we are already having a lot of fun. Plus there is nothing to not like about language arts. Social studies are off to a rough start, but I think we are going a lot of fun. Math I am really enjoying because, well, I love math. Now my electives I love computers so far. Gym I am enjoying a lot more than last year. I already told you about art. I also have read, but i don't really think I need reading because I think I am a really good

I did half of the attendance for the day due to the pile of essays. I was also helping the American History II students with their map of Europe before World War I. There was some confusing, but that was cleared up and hopefully the students will not be confused when the class is going through the chapter. What they currently know about Europe is very different from the 1914. I also received news that I will be sitting in an IEP meeting soon.

I am kind of freaking out right now with all of the pressure of this week- and this week is only three days long! My current grade in science is a B+, which means that to get it up to an A by the time that we get our final report cards, I have to get at least 98% on every single one of my assignments. We have a test coming up this week in science as well, so I will have to get a 100% on that, too. I have 5 orchestra objectives to cross off in order to get a 100% in that class and there are only 3 more lesson times scheduled for me, so I have to do a couple of make-ups! And in Social Studies, we are starting a new testing method that Foster Hull came up with, that I named and improved, and that Matt Gunn helped with also.

One early, April morning, people came for me in the dead of night to take me to school. The tinkling sounds of their key inside the lock to the door of my bedroom woke me from a sound sleep. They fumbled with it, betraying their unfamiliarity with the lock, while I rolled over in my bed and half dreamt of reminding my mom that the handle had to be held slightly upwards. When the door opened full there was a pause as light and cool air entered my room, and I propped myself up on my elbows to see why I was hearing such heavy breathing. A tall, middle-aged man approached the foot of my bed, while a short and unfamiliar woman lingered below the doorframe.

While most other traditional high school students have four years of high school courses to prepare them for the road ahead whether that path may lead them to college or straight into a job, I decided that this was not the road I wanted to take. I decided that I wanted to skip a step so that I could make it into college more quickly while still acquiring an advanced diploma (four years of each core class are required as well as 3 years of a world language). I filled out the necessary paperwork and began taking extra classes. In my sophomore year of high school, I took US Government as an independent study class through a program called CDS (Center for Diversified studies). They gave me the work and I was expected to complete it without the

While entering high school was a petrifying year for me, I did not want to go through the next four years in fear everyday. As a result, I joined an enrichment called Chicago Voyagers. I loved being in the outdoors because I get to embrace the nature before technology has filled our minds and that is what we revolve around constantly. Also, through this non-profit organization, I get to meet new friends and gain some personal skills like leadership, teamwork, and communication. I do not want people to see me as timid and someone who does not have a voice. Even though I may still be quiet, I see myself becoming more outgoing and loud compared to my past self. When I reflect on my time in high school, I have made most of my friends because I

A new responsibility can be very terrifying. A new and terrifying responsibility that I had to experience in the past year—September 9, 2016, to be exact, I was walking to my mom's work after school. My mom said she could come pick me up at school, but I knew that would be an inconvenience to her. I also thought this would help me not to be so scared about staying home by myself, or having to go anywhere by myself. What I didn't realize was this was going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done.
