Personal Narrative: Being Hard After High School
Everything is going to be hard after high school. Not having structure will definitely be really tough, all the pressure of getting into colleges and not having something to build my schedule around will probably stress me out a lot. I’m used to planning my work schedule and plans around school hours so not having it will be a really big change.
I don’t think I’m really ready to be all that independent; I’m used to relying on school to be the backbone for everything. I’d still be living with my parents, of course, but I’m sure they’d be pressuring me to find a good college. It would be hard to even really choose one, even though I’m pretty set on art school, and I don’t think I’ll have a job during college so I wouldn’t have very much money

    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.…

    Essay On Childhood And Adulthood

    I have successfully passed each benchmark that proves that I am independent and now, applying to college, I am at the test and on the cusps of adulthood. I went on the school bus on my own, I study for each exam on my own and now, I will be attending college on my own. My parents can only hold their hands out and hope I fall into them if I trip, but I must be able to pick myself as an adult. I am soon to be a complete, decision-making adult and my mark of adulthood would be going to college after I graduate, which is my decision, and mine alone. I will become an…

    Personal Narrative: The Day I Return To College

    It was the day that I was dreading all week. It was the day my brother was leaving for college. Since the day i was born me and my older brother have been really close. We liked the same things, hung out with the same people, and played on the same sports teams. We did everything together. As time went on nothing really changed even through high school we were still really close. The day he was leaving for college I was at my friends house and didn’t want to go home until the minute he was leaving. I didn’t want to see him until he left because i knew it was going to be hard for me to watch him leave so i figured if i didn’t see him until he said bye it wouldn’t be as bad. Another part of me also didn’t want to show him weakness, that i was…

    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: Growing Up In High School

    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,…

    Personal Narrative: My Transition To High School

    High school is one of the biggest transitions in a person's early life. You go from being at the top in your school to the bottom. For me, it was very hard to adjust to this change. On my first day of high school, I walked into first period so nervous I thought I was going to get sick. This is much like what happened during my transition into middle school. On the first day at Mazzuchelli, right before the first class began, I threw up all over the floor of the classroom. I’m not a big fan of change. To make matters worse, the first week of high school was outrageously hot. The combination of the heat and my nerves made me sweat uncontrollably. At the time, I felt very self conscious of sweating during class. As bad as these first few days…

    Middle School Observation Report

    Fortunately, I did prepare by making sure that I worked hard to get all gate classes and that I could do the work. The method I’ve been using is the same method I’ve been using since middle school and there have only been slight changes to it. Before my method would consist of getting all my homework prioritizing it in a more efficient way than working on it till I would finish everything precluding me from failure. My current method is almost the same except I have to make room for extracurricular activities, but soon I’ll have to find a way to get volunteer hours into my schedule. Besides those two instances, nothing has changed the way that I get my work done or how I accomplish things at school. However, if I ever want to do more there are plenty of ways for me too. All in all, my way of going through high school hasn’t faced any drastic changes and seems to be working just…

    My life has been a series of obstacles. I see that as we get older we become wiser, but life never gets any easier. When we reach the end of an experience we take to heart the memories throughout the whole experience. People say "high school goes by quick" and " it's just a small part of your life." The experience of high school really shapes the way we deal with hardships and failure.…
