Personal Narrative: Blocks Away From School
When arriving, I had to park some blocks away from the school. I’m getting closer when I realize that there is a huge crowd of people outside the entrance of the school. I was confused. I see officers with their Colt M4 Carbine and their Glock 22 out. I notice Officer Johnson. I ask what’s going on? Johnson replies “the school nurse called dispatch and said that there were shots being fired in the office but we have lost contact with her, the first gun shot was at 9:34 AM”. I start to drift away and Officer Johnson notices that, he says “keep your mind clear and force right now. I see more back up coming. Officer Johnson and I start to head where all the officers are meeting at.

    Throughout my life, I experienced many events that would make most people unable to function socially, emotionally, or academically. These events include two divorces, five house relocations, and a transfer to a new high school during senior year. I consistently failed assignments and could not stay focused during class as my . Most teenagers would have given up here as the disappointment from both their parents and teachers would have destroyed their hopes for a successful future. However, this anguish became a catalyst for what would become a significant restructuring in both my demeanor towards schoolwork and my perspective on the future. Against all odds I was able to bounce back from the discouragement I had faced. I believe that this…

    “Slow down, future leaders of America at play,” a sign engrained in my memory as a result of the numerous volunteer trips I took to Mountain Mission School. Mountain Mission School (MMS) is a Christian boarding school and home to many children, who come from devastating backgrounds and poverty. Receiving no government funding, Mountain Mission School located in Grundy, Virginia operates solely on private donations and generous charities from churches all over America. In addition to a school, MMS played a key role in my life. Not only was MMS my home but also my church starting from second grade up until I graduated high school.…

    I rushed out of my last class and made a beeline to my old hideout. As I started collecting my belongings I could hear the blaring of police sirens. I dropped everything and headed towards the main entrance. Glancing out the window I could see a very large crowd and at least a dozen police men. I sat with my hand on the door handle debating whether I should join the crowd or head home. After the longest 5 seconds of my life I swung the door open and rushed into the crowd of students. As I got closer and closer to the front of the crowd I could hear the screams of a boy. I still couldn’t see what was going on so I dropped to the ground to see between student’s legs. What I saw caused me to turn completely numb. There in the center of the courtyard stood IT. He has handcuffed and held back by three police men. I slowly crawled my way to the side to see the rest of the scene. As soon as I moved I regretted it. Lying on the ground, enclosed by a pool of blood and a long knife in there abdomen laid Rachel. I jumped to my feet and shoved my way to Andy Evans. The officers held me back as I kicked and screamed. I couldn’t control myself and the next thing I knew I was slowly falling to the…

    Williams Elementary School is located just off of interstate 75 and home of the mighty Eagles. From the outside it has the appearance of a typical school with screaming students, rushing parents, and screeching buses. It is made out of boring brown bricks and beige stucco boarding near the top of the building. The inside features a prison-like setup, only with more vibrant colors. There is a double door leading into an office with multiple faculty and staff. In order to actually enter the school, you have to be buzzed in by the round and hyper man at the main desk. Once in the building, you will see that it is shaped like a large square with hallways extending from four sides. The hallways are full of colorful painting of eagles, laminated…

    When I started Unity High School I thought that we were going to get a lot of work from my classes, and that work was going to be extremely hard. I also thought that I wasn't going to have any free time to do anything because of that, but it turned out to be wrong because the teachers give us a good amount of work but its not really hard. I thought that making friends in Unity would be hard in a sort of way but it was quit easy because everyone else was trying to make friends too. When I first got to Unity I also thought that there was going to be a few school clubs, but there is a good amount of clubs that students can join if they want to join some type of club. I think as a person I have grown more since first coming to Unity because I…

    Asheville School is terrific, and my favorite parts are the campus, boarding, and the athletics. Asheville School has an very old beautiful campus. This school has a large campus with brick buildings. The campus has been around since 1900. This school is a boarding school. This means for an extra cost, you can rent and live on campus in small dorms. Because of this, if I have friends that live on campus I am allowed to sleep in their dorms if I need to. Asheville School also has a awesome athletics program. They have football, soccer, baseball, basketball and many other sports. There is also mountaineering which is a bunch of different activities such as rock climbing, white water kayaking and mountain biking. I really like Asheville School…

    I lace up my walking shoes and head outdoors in my neighborhood. I enjoy being outdoors looking at the trees, neighbors' plants and flowers, ducks swimming in the creek, and squirrels scurrying up the trees. Just being outdoors, helps me forget what is bothering me. Saying "Hello" to other walkers make me smile. When I arrive home from my walk, I feel refreshed and I have a feeling I can tackle…

    “East High is a place where teachers encouraged us to break the status quo and define ourselves as we choose. Where a jock can cook up a mean crème brûlée, and a brainiac can break it down on the dance floor. It's a place where one person, if it's the right person, changes us all. East High is having friends we'll keep for the rest of our lives, and that means we really are 'all in this together'. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!” Troy Bolton. Although I am not a student at East High from the movie High School Musical, this quote sums up my experience at North Kingstown High School. Like the students from the movie, I was encouraged to be myself and along the way I created life-long friendships and many memories.…

    “Wrong answer Laurran, do it again,” Mrs. Taylor raised her voice at me. The room went silent. Nobody was talking or moving, to scared to get scolded by Mrs. Taylor. I always wondered who would want to marry her, or how she treated her kids at home. I honestly feel bad for her two kids if she treated her own students this way. I sat there, my eyes tearing up from embarrassment and failure. Mrs. Taylor doesn't understand how hard it is; doing math that is a grade above your level of experience. She doesn’t understand the pressure that is on me from my parents to do good and from the older kids in my class to show them I’m not dumb and I can do this.…

    Daycare, school, daycare, work. Daycare, school, daycare, work. Two heedful eyes observing you. Admiration gleaming from the young face of a 7 year old girl. You may not see them all the time, but they are there. Every action is sagacious, following the question “Would this be a good example to set?” Dark, bagged eyes late nights at work, and coffee riddled breathe early at school.…

    The college process without a doubt is an intimidating process. The standardized tests, college visits, transcripts, and much more. It can be hard trying to find the “perfect” school. However, with Marquette, I think I discovered the perfect fit. From the moment I stepped on campus on a beautiful crisp spring day, something felt different. I had never felt this feeling at any other college I visited. Marquette felt like home and I could see myself spending the next big chapter of my life there.…

    I wake up, eager to get to school. As I lay in my bunk bed, I scan the outside world and see the cars. The sun just rose and it's a little chilly outside. It was the 4th or 5th day of 6th grade and today we would choose new instruments for the band. I was considering switching to french horn, but my first pick was the tuba. In elementary school we could only play trumpet, clarinet, or saxophone.…
