Underclassman Narrative
This is it, the day I have been waiting for, move-in day of my senior year of college. After this year I will finally be graduating. I park my car and walk into my home for the year Schaaf, the nicest dorm on campus. I walk through the front doors with pride and march straight up to the front desk to ask the RA for the key to my room. The RA asks for my name and I tell her with a smile. After looking through the list she could not seem to find my name and went to check with her boss to figure out the problem. Minutes later the RA and her boss come back with the bad news that the system had made a mistake. I am not going to be living in the new, taken care of upperclassman dorms. I will be living in Lohman, the old, beat up underclassman dorm.

    A Class Divided was an experiment conducted by a third-grade teacher named Jane Elliot. When Martin Luther King Jr was shot, one day later Jane Elliot knew teaching her third-grade class that discrimination was wrong, wasn’t such an easy task but a difficult challenge since their parents raised them to believe discrimination of the blacks was the right thing to do. According to the video uploaded by Jshapplet, Jane Elliot stated on the first day of the experiment that: It just might be interesting to judge people today by the color of their eyes, blue eyed people should be on top the first day here, I mean the blue-eyed people are the better people in this room (Jshapplet). Mrs. Elliot leads the children to believe that those who has blue eyes…

    When I first stepped into Anderson High School as a freshman, I was exceedingly confident in myself. I played sports, had gotten good grades, and planned to have an amazing high school career. Freshman and sophomore year were a breeze. If I am being straightforward, I did not focus much on my schoolwork. I did what was required of me and got good grades, but I did not go above and beyond. I had always been told by upperclassman, “It only gets harder from here. Enjoy it while you can.” Now I realize what that means.…

    Ed doesn’t care. He has lived long enough to realize it doesn’t matter what people think. His hair is balding on the top, goes down to about his shoulders, and is as white as snow. He wears the same outfit everyday: a battered pair of jeans, ford belt buckle, and boots. He doesn’t wear a shirt, I always think he wakes up and can’t find a shirt so he makes himself just decent enough to go outside. He has tattoos all over his chest, and could be the scariest looking person I have ever seen. When we knock on his door at about 3 p.m. we assume he is just waking up because he looks like he has seen daylight for the first time in a week. He opens the door and gives us a grin of relief and says “You here to mow the lawn? She probably needs it. How…

    One thing that I think that sets me apart from other candidates applying to the University of California is that I put my heart and soul on every assignment, projects and exam. I work hard and put time on the assignment, projects and exam. I also give my full effort. Whenever I give my heart and soul on the assignment or projects, I am able to learn more than I should learn. I was able to discover new facts that I did not know. For example, in my Pre Calculus class, we did a project about global warming. I have to research about global warming and predict total population, average temperature, carbon dioxide emission in the next 50 and 100 years from now. I took my time and read articles about global warming. While looking at the statistic, I was asking myself what is cause of increasing population, temperature, and carbon dioxide emission. I realize those three factors are causing global warming. I made sure that I did the math correctly. I also made sure that I explained the definition, cause, and effect of the global warming. I gave my heart and soul by giving my best effort and making sure my data and information…

    “Look at her face. It turns red!” I had been hearing this whenever I stand in front of classmates. Yes, I was extremely shy when people stared at me. I was a kind of person who is not involved in any activities and jobs at school. I used to avoid the place where many people gather. So, I had not thought of the fact that I could be the one who is in charge of managing people.…

    How good can I be at writing, I thought I was amazing, this semester showed me there is always room for improvement.Coming into a senior composition class to learn about the best format to write papers is stressful, especially for a slam poet.

From my atrocious writings of yesterday to the writings of tomorrow, I have certainly climbed the ranks to better writing since taking this class.…

    When I first arrived to Richmond Early College High School, I anticipated an academic career characterized by hard work, nightly homework assignments, and incredible doses of stress that a middle school classroom could not synthesize. Although I actually landed my first college class in the second semester of my ninth grade year (ACA, which was required for all newbies and taken simultaneously by all 50 of us), I found myself still shaken. I looked forwarded to the challenges of a college experience, but merely hearing the click of my instructor's heel's as I sat in that classroom for the first time sent my bones into a furious rattle. A worrywart by nature, I was both delighted and horrified by ACA.…

    The day before I left for college was a day I will never forget for everything I had worked for was finally here.. Emotions were haywire as everything I knew was packed away into boxes. After hours of packing, I had never seen my room so inhabitable; a few old hangers and some old clothes were all that was left to show my existence in those bare four walls of what used to be my room. Up until that day, my mom always spoke of me moving out, but standing there in the doorway of my room all she could say was it all came too soon. The only unpleasant part of the day was the process of loading the many things I probably did not need into the not very spacious trunk of my Toyota Corolla. My mother being the uptight person she is scolded me about the amount of unnecessary amount of things I take with me everywhere I go, but I am a girl that appreciates my materialistic things every now and then. Finally, after the help of my best friend, my belonging s was loaded into the trunk of my Corolla which could have been mistaken for a low rider from the way it was sagging under the weight.…
