I was fully optimistic that the day would go well, but it did not fall in the plan that I believed it would. It was the same routine in a new environment. My first day at Larned High School started like every first day before me. The principal, Mr. Langdon, gathered all the students and welcomed us into a new school year. The speech as long but informational. It was a familiar speech that I had heard every first day of school. Unfortunately, this familiarity would end, and now I was stuck roaming the halls in a new school looking for my first class.…
As nervous as I was when I walked into Saint Joseph Catholic School (K-8) for my first day of kindergarten, I never thought I would be able to leave after 6th grade and enter the world of middle school. In a small school of about 400 kids, I was familiar with every face that passed by me in the hallway. I got to know the kids in my grade so well and we all knew each other’s life stories. By the time I was in 6th grade at Saint Joseph, some of my friends were planning on going to Kinard middle school in 7th grade. At this point in my life, I was not completely content with where I was going to school. The realization came to me that it was time to move on. It was time for me to try something new.…

The relationship between Mr. Dunn and his students was intriguing to watch. The children all wanted his attention and would run up to him and say “watch this” or “look at what I can do”. He patently watched and then gave high fives and reassured them of what a good job they did. It was apparent that he cared about them and they cared about him and what he thought of their new learned skills. Some words he used to describe his students were funny, caring, and outgoing. Taking time to know his students is a huge priority for Mr. Dunn and he takes this task very…
I briskly ate my breakfast, then left for school. As I stroll to 7th period my classmates stared“she was just in 2nd period looking at the wall like a weirdo”, “ Her breath probody stink that's why she not saying anything” two girls conversed about me.

Mosley to my office” the principal called for me, I curiously followed her to her office and sat in front of her junkie yet organized desk.” Me and some of your other teachers have been worried about you” she voiced sounding concern. I avoided making eye contact with her, just reminiscing on my sister's final request.”Myasia listen you don't have to talk to me but talk to someone” she suggested.

As we arrived to Craig feeling the jitters, afraid I may get lost or beat up, Jayden text me “meet in the 100 hallway”. As If I knew where that was I had thought to myself.

By the time 8th hour had come we were already feeling more comfortable with our new school and the teachers. English 9 honors was our 8th hour and the teacher's name was Miss Tucker. She seemed very nice but, there…
The four types of essay organizations discussed in the course reading are topic, time order, space order, and informative process.

Informative process is best described as instructional writing or ‘’ how to’’ writing.…

I wake up to the nagging and shrieking voice of my mother's morning wake up call. I layed back in bed, thinking, how much I despised monday mornings. After about ten minutes, I sluggishly make my way into the kitchen. I make myself breakfast, and proceeded with my usual monday morning routine. Just a quarter past seven o’clock, I am already on the bus, ready for the start of the new school day. Once I arrived to school, I thought nothing different, until it happened.…

Just couple weeks ago, I took my little sister to school; it was her first day as a 7th grader. As I walking in the hall, memories of the time I spent here, started to come back to me. Nothing had change, these walls, painting and the decoration. It felt like I never left, all the teachers greeted me, and asking about my college life. So just like any other year, students have to attend the opening ceremony; my little sister sat down in the last rows filled with graffiti in the auditorium I looked up and thinking to myself, “ They changed the principle again, whoever in charge, do they think it will fix the problems?” They have been using this method for ages. Every year, the new principle would give an awesome speech about how they would fix everything. But the past decade, same problems still haunt the school. Even though fear and worries in my head, I have no choice but to let my little sister attends this school. Welcome to Northeast High of the Kansas City District; welcome to the education of my life.…

This story starts off with three girls going to Redeemer College a school for only girls, they have caused so much trouble for the time they have been attending the school and have given it a bad reputation. Ta Jeeka Brentford, Caledonia Nuttall and Katreena Melmac has made it their duty to disobey anyone who tries to tell them what is right but on a July afternoon a meeting is called to decide what to do with the three girls but the principal’s mind has been made up for expulsion. However the chairman of the school board Canon Rodney Pryce and the junior librarian Elaine Mico does not think that is a good idea, they believe that the girls need a second chance to prove themselves. Still thinking that the girls should be expelled the principal starts pointing out the things the girls have done like; skipping classes to sleep behind the hibiscus hedge which is out of bounds, bullying younger children for their lunch money and also not returning library books. The only thing the principal wanted was these three girls out of the school because the keep on disrupting it and driving teachers away, but being a Christian the chairman wanted to understand the three girls so with the help of Ms Mico they set up a one year programme called the Integrated Learning Unit for the analysis of the girls. For the start of her programme Elaine Mico started up on some files about the girls first she went through Katreena Melmac; she lives with her mother who is a policewoman, her father is a road manager so he’s usually abroad, always getting into trouble because she says whatever she feels, stealing and cheating but there’s one good thing about Ms.Melmac her grades for English and History and it’s because her spoken English is also good. She has interest in social activities, public speaking and drama. Next, Ms.Mico took a look at Ta Jeeka’s files. She is loud and rude, and likes alot of attention, don’t like to be ignored. Stealing is…
