Personal Narrative-Inducing School Work
A faded gray ceiling, pale jade walls, and in the center, a powerful desk that has stood the test of time. Each step I take quakes, conflicted and confused. Occasionally, a salty tear drips onto my glasses. I dread the moment I reach the desk, already feeling the burden of the laborious task ahead of me.
Rainy days discard all of my intentions to be productive. Their depressing atmosphere, in addition to the sleep-inducing school work, causes my exhaustion levels to rise abnormally. The sky and the trees are painted with different shades of gray and reflect the sadness in the air. On some of these days, I go to the school in the center of the gray room. It teaches me skills I will need to use in the future, and it also holds the key that unlocks

    I learned a lesson all the way back in first grade, and that lesson has stuck with me ever since. I was coming in from recess, and I was talking to a friend of mine off to my left. Unfortunately, I was not watching where I was going. I kept barely taking glances of what was in front of me, and that was a huge mistake. Someone was running behind me, and wasn’t watching where they were going either. As I approached the building I heard yelling, but thought nothing of it. After all, recess had just finished, so obviously kids would be yelling, right? It turns out some kids had been playing tag, and decided to play until they got inside. One that was still running away, because God forbid he’d be “it,” was Nick.…

    When I was sitting in the mcdonald's near my house, I observed all my surrounding and people. I sew a young man sitting there to do his homework, and he was working so hard to finish his assignment. While I was trying to shoes myself over someone, I feel that it’s uncomfortable because I hadn’t done this before.

In addition, I would use my tablet to help me to do my homework because I could get faster solution for my homework. While he was focusing on his homework, I sew people that surrounding him was talking loudly. If I were him, I would rather to do my homework at home since I could get better environment to work and better internet speed. After I sew…

    Before this year I was always dead set on being a high school history teacher and thought that I never wanted to teach anything else. During the fall semester I was placed in a sixth grade class for my observation hours and at first I was kind of upset about it. Once I experience a middle school classroom I was still on the fence about what grades I wanted to teach, but I figured I would take this course anyway. I am so happy I did because I decided I want to do my student teaching in middle school. I have realized this is such a unique time in children’s lives and I want more of the molding aspect rather than solely teaching like at the high school level. I want to not only educate students in history, but also have it relate to their every…

    Writing isn’t something that was ever stressed in my high school and since I am a computer science major, didn’t think that I would really be needing to write very often. But, this class has completely changed my perspective on writing, along with how I write.

    I’ve never been good at very many things. In fact, I quit or failed almost everything I’ve been involved in pertaining to school or extracurricular activities. I wanted to accomplish something that my parents would be proud of but I didn’t have much motivation. It wasn’t until my freshman year that I decided to work harder to achieve something to be proud of; I was just waiting around for the success to come to me. I quickly learned that I wasn’t going to get anywhere that way.…

    I was the kind of guy who always strove in order to get the highest grades but yet hadn’t decided what to do in the future. I wasn’t worried, I knew someday I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school, where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all, and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You're not going to college, you’ll not be able to do it because you’re poor” used to say, Mrs. Vazquez, the math teacher who instead of giving her class, talked on how much his son had accomplished in college and how we would not be able to attend. That was about to change.…

    Time for school! Time for school! Are you excited? There was once a time when I was excited about going to school. I use to organize all of my school supplies trying to make sure I had everything that I needed. And I even use to pick out my own school clothes the night before, anxious to put them on. There were times when I thought that I’d oversleep, so I would sleep in my school clothes so that I could be already dressed and ready to go. My elementary school years were the most exciting for me though. I actually use to look forward to going to my school. Loughman Oaks Elementary was the school I attended and no one could tell me that it wasn’t the absolute best school in the world. Loughman Oaks use to have this ceremony called “Outdoor…

    My writing has changed a lot in my first-semester essay writing class. I finally took a class that teaches me useful information and how to properly write an essay. Essay Writing overall was a fun experience it was a slow start for me in the beginning but once I was able to get the work done I was fine. There were a lot of positives to taking this class. I started the year struggling to come up with ideas to write about nut now I can brainstorm and put my words down on the paper better than ever. “If I could travel anyplace in the world for free, I would want to go to North Korea. I would love to see what it's like.” I struggled with proper punctuation and the use of commas and such throughout my high school career and I still struggle with it I hope to learn more about it in the near future. “Cars are one of the best inventions ever.” I needed some direction on making my sentences longer with getting to the point at the same time. There's a lot of small things I need to still improve on but I feel like I got a good start with the Essay Writing course. I got a lot of useful feedback from Mrs.Pennings on all my essays like when to use certain words and proper punctuation and some compliments the really…

    During my sophomore year, a senior came to me at Tutoring Society to get tutored in math. She would come to me almost every day. And just like many others I tutor, I started to get to know her better. She came from an underprivileged background and worked an evening shift at our local food store to support her family. However, this had not deterred her from participating on the cheerleading team. One day, she had to leave five minutes early to cheer at an away game. A few weeks later, she rushed out the main doors after the tutoring session to take over her friend’s shift at work. Despite her part time job and cheerleading practices, she still worked hard to pass high school and her least favorite class: math.…

    The next day when I walked into school, everyone was gossiping about the big attack on Main Street. As I walked past the group of cheerleaders. I overheard one of them say something about a big dog who looked like bigfoot. “Bigfoot” I thought to myself. Yeah right, get real. As soon as she said that, I knew it was fake. I shrugged it off and walked to my first period. I didn’t think anything of it until I found out who was attacked. Turns out it was the same person I was with last night. Now my heart is pounding, I can’t even think straight. It’s like my whole body went numb and everything around me just stopped. How could my best friend be fine one minute and then next he gets attacked? Once everyone found out it was Andrew, everyone started…

    When I step out of the car, I start to feel all kinds of emotions. I was happy that I had finally made it to the infamous “middle school”. I was happy that I had made it to what I thought would be the best years of my life(little did I know they would be some of the worst). I was angry that I had to go to school after a long fun summer. I was also a little worried. Not about the kids or the teachers, but rather that I would fail miserably. Opening my locker was probably the most stressful thing I endured that day. I felt as if I was a safe cracker, trying to crack an uncrackable safe. Somehow, I managed to get it open. Next thing I know teachers and administration were herding all of us 6th graders to the gym. I couldn’t wrap my head around the amount of kids, it seemed to be a never ending mob of 11 year olds.…
