A Regular Day of School
Around six o’clock in the morning my alarm goes off. I wake up, take a shower, brush my teeth, and use the next half an hour packing my bag for the long day ahead. I usually bring two bags to school, one for my books in class, and another for after school because I usually have football practice at the end of my day. Seven o’clock I hear two loud beeps outside my house, and on time is my girlfriend Natasha. She was always on time because school started at seven-thirty. I never ate breakfast at home because of the time I spent preparing my bags for school, so I would usually stopped at the breakfast line around seven-fifteen to get a hot bagel with cream cheese and some barbeque chips and an orange juice. American Heritage High School was the name of my school. It’s a private school in plantation that located at the corner of Broward Blvd and flamingo road. You can’t miss my school because it is a pretty big school. Matter of fact in a sense it looks like a college because of its size. The way the school looks, it is made with all red bricks, it has a clock tower with a large bell, and it has six different buildings, all two stories, and a football field. The reason for the school being so big is because, the school was a private school, and the grade level stared from pre kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Truthful my school was an expensive school, so expensive that it costs ten thousand dollars to go there but here’s the catch, if you started going to school there since kindergarten, the school will pay for your college tuition.
I usually had six classes and a break for lunch everyday. The class sizes were pretty decent, probably twenty to twenty five people in a class. My day would start with my general education classes, math, English, science, gym, than around eleven thirty I would have my lunch break. The good thing about lunch time is that I would have an hour to do whatever

    In this article Jerika Miller, age 17, is interviewed regarding her experience at William Smith High School, and how she believes that other high schools can be turned around like William Smith from failing high schools to successful ones. Having moved around and changed schools often, Jerika found William Smith to be a good school, and settled there for 3 years.

    I left for school, jogging to school is my favourite part of the day. There’s just something about jogging in the morning, I can taste the crisp air as I breathe in and the feeling of it whipping my face and legs wakes me up. I sat outside of the locker bay, I can’t stand going in there during ‘peak hour’, the stench, a combination of sweat, deodorant, and old food, makes me want to puke. There’s always that crowd of older girls staring at me with that look of disgust as I walk through the corridor with my shiny black hair held up in a bun with some chopsticks…

    It was Tuesday, March first, 2011, my mother woke me up so I can start getting ready for school. I rose with eager anticipation, just four more days until my thirteenth birthday and I just couldn’t wait. I brushed my teeth and hurried down to eat the complimentary breakfast offered to us by the hotel we were staying at. You see we had been staying at a hotel for the past five months because the home we had been renting was foreclosed on so the utility companies turned off the power and the electricity. We had to get down at just the right time so that there was a small crowd but a lot of food so that we can take food back to the room to save for dinner. After breakfast, we…

    It was a bright sunny Wednesday afternoon and I was walking towards my car. I got out of class early and was heading home to get myself ready to spend time with my bright and intelligent students. Sometimes when I get out of class my body feels overwhelmed and tired. Perhaps it feels this way because of all the things that are going on in my life like family, friendship, relationship, community service, and homework assignments. I feel like I am very busy that I often do not have time for myself. However when I arrived to El Jardin that quickly changes. The students that I work with on Wednesday fill my life with positive attitude and energy that I often forget about the worries and stress that I encounter during the day. I really love my Wednesday shift more than my Tuesday shift because I have a stronger connection and attachment towards the two girls that I work with. On Wednesday’s, I work with two bright and intelligent 6th grade girls named Arisa and Janet. Both of them have special qualities and a sweet kind heart.…

    To clarify, there would be no interruptions with a person's free time of non scholastic activities. An illustration would be having to work overtime and not get to spend your own time. Many students are involved in extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, and participate in other organizations. Extra hours of school in the morning would take up hours in the afternoon making the capability to attend these events difficult. There would also be no need to make up any extra days, which takes up more time. Interactions with after school activities may affect one’s image, stress level, and…

    Now let me tell you a story of how starting school at 7:30 has affected me. Many students will relate to my story. This story took place just yesterday. I went to sleep at midnight because I had to go to practice, I had to do all of my homework, I had to study for all of my tests, and I had to study for my finals (DO A SOUND THAT SHOWS THAT YOU ARE TIRED). Doesn’t that sound like a busy day? I woke up to a sound that sounded like bullets from a gun. And I wonder what it was? It was my alarm beeeeeeping. It continued to beep and beep and beep. It got louder and louder and louder. I finally stood up and turned it off. Then I thought to myself, “It’s only 6:15” 1 more minute won’t hurt. And then I thought to myself, 5 more minutes won’t hurt. And then I thought to myself, 10 more minutes won’t hurt. I continued to sleep on and before I knew I woke up and it was 6:45. I jumped out of my bed and I ran to my dresser. I put my clothes on quickly.I brushed my teeth quickly. The thoughts running through my…
