Last year‚ I experienced one of the lowest point in my high school career. It is what gave me those two B’s on my transcript. To most students‚ these would not be considered bad grades‚ but to me‚ they stand out blaringly everytime I look at my transcript. The haunt me as I know I could have done better in those classes and achieved a higher grade. So what sort of misfortune befell me last year?

Today‚ my family and I went to the mall for Back to School shopping‚ and all I have to say is it went the absolute worst way possible. As soon as we stepped into a JCPenny‚ my mother darted for the most plain shirts you will ever see. They were all the same too! It was a tacky plaid‚ two-buttoned tee with a butterfly collar. She didn’t notice I didn’t like it until she looked over at my uneasy face. “What? It’s only $20!”‚ she said. I explained how everyone poke fun at me‚ and how my rep will lower

Our school didn’t have a GSA for about three years until now. When I was a ninth grader I was very sure of my sexuality. But the thing was that the school I went to wasn’t very friendly when it came to LGBTQ+ people. The administration were fine‚ the issues usually came from the student body. I was surrounded by homophobia‚ and I had not one safe place to allow myself to be me. I wasn’t allowed to be as open as I wanted to be but eventually I thickened my skin and came out. Looking back at that time

Name of Jesus school. Everyone in my family was raised Catholic‚ my mother even attended Holy Name when she was young. However‚ this did not effect their staunch Democratic views and the mindset in which my parents raised me: to be accepting and loving towards others. That being said‚ there was no active teaching taking place within my home like there was at school.

Walking into high school freshman study hall‚ I felt a rush of nervousness and slight embarrassment when I asked for help from a tutor.

It was a pouring and cold afterschool afternoon at Westlake Elementary. I stood under the awning of the school as I waited for my mother to pick me up while holding tightly onto the clammy cardboard plate that displayed the gingerbread house I had made that day covered in a layer of plastic wrap. I had been waiting for hours and there were no other students to be seen. Yet‚ I kept looking forward to showing off my creation to my mother. I had always been an optimistic individual and tended

as Lucas remembered. They waited for a long time outside in the hot summer sun‚ until eventually they piled into the humid gym. Everyone’s faces were all red and dripping in sweat‚ it was almost as if the school wanted them to look their absolute worse for their pictures. Either that‚ or the school just really didn’t care. After getting their pictures taken‚ everyone was handed their photo IDS. With that out of the way‚ the group of friends were made their way to the office to get their schedules.

Sparta Alyssa Lane Deming High School It was a Tuesday in Sparta. The cars were bubbling‚ kids were crystal porting. I spotted my best friend Urina she is very rebellious just like me. I taught her everything she knows. She isn’t as hard to spot since her and I both have midnight black hair‚ everybody else’s’ hair is blonde. So it’s easier for us to stand out. The sky was filled with kids all around us. During the walk to school we passed by the Time square building. It’s the only

During my sophomore year in high school‚ I decided to join the UIL Cross-Examination debate team. I honestly did not want to do it‚ but my friend was in desperate need of a partner‚ so I decided to help her out. I had no experience in public speaking‚ let alone debate. At our first competition‚ I was extremely nervous. We only practiced the day before‚ but my friend reassured me that it’s going to be okay‚ and I should just “dip my feet in the water” to get a feel for debate. So as I walk over to
