As a young boy reading was never an exciting activity for me. Since the first day I began reading proficiently in the first grade all the way through high school‚ reading was always a chore.

After school‚ I go home and sit in my bed and think of my plan. Stage 1- Before I go to bed I make sure my

Today was the day. Packed to the point of bursting open with new notebooks‚ folders‚ pens‚ pencils‚ and textbooks‚ he readied me for school. Instead of bouncing around as rambunctious young boys do‚ he trudged slowly in a peculiar meter of half-steps toward the doorway. He was living a new life in a new school that was filled with people who might as well have been aliens to him.

I could write an essay talking about my high school achievements‚ whether it be my accomplishments in sports or in the classroom‚ but that wouldn’t show how I got to the point that I am at today. So‚ in a way‚ I suppose I should be saying thank you to the teenage “mean girls” who were involved in my troubled middle school experience. It’s depicted in movies and books‚ however‚ I surmised bullying did not happen in school because I never witnessed it first hand. This ideology quickly

Missing so many days would force a kid to do a little extra homework or maybe get a little more one on one time with the teacher‚ but for the most part they would be able to make up those lost days.
