Personal Narrative: My Junior Year
Junior year was one for the books. Along with being worried for standardized tests, I had enrolled myself in two Advanced Placement classes, and obtained a position at Kumon Math & Reading. I also volunteered at my local library every weekend, and secured an internship at Kaiser Permanente, the regional hospital.
Throughout the first semester, I had underestimated myself. I would provide others "excuses" for my B's, and would not work as diligently as I should have.
However, I had decided in the beginning of my second semester that I would only complete it with straight A's, nothing less.
I had worked endlessly that semester, verifying that all my homework assignments were submitted and my exam grades were up to par. I had studied ceaselessly

    Personal Narrative: My High School Career

    The reason my academics aren’t going well as you or I would like is because of the several family issues I’ve had to face during my high school career. It began my Sophomore year, I found out my mom needed surgery in her arm so the chances of her cancer spreading would be reduced. I was under a great deal of stress worrying about my mother, taking care of my four siblings making sure they knew everything was going to be okay, even though I wasn’t sure myself. It was all up to me; while my other brother worked to help with bills, my mom being in the hospital, and my dad working. Taking care of my siblings consisted of cooking, homework, cleaning, nightly routine, and putting them to bed. When the work was done it would be around 10 o'clock. It was already tough to buckle down and focus on homework without all the stress. With all this my first semester grade was less than great.…

    Academic Probation Explanation

    The factors that contributed my poor academic performance include but are not limited to: procrastination, disorganization, and a lack of prioritization. Often, throughout the semester, I would put off major assignments until I no longer had any time left to do anything of quality. Another contributor to my performance was my lack of organization. Instead of filing my papers and assignments away neatly, they were left in no particular order or place. The last of my errors involved my lack of prioritization. Many times I chose have fun over completing important assignments. Other times, I chose to go to bed late and in turn over sleep. Recognizing these contributors will help prevent any reoccurrences of my recent performance.…

    Antigone Rhetorical Analysis

    It was around this point that I began to lose my motivation to do any class work whatsoever, and my grade suffered for it. One day, Mr. Brown held me after class and told me that I had the lowest grade out of any of his students that he has ever taught. With that as my motivation, I studied long and hard to get my grade up, and in the end I had barely passed the class with a sixty-nine point eight average.…

    Senioritis In High School Essay

    At this point I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life after college and I didn’t even know what college I wanted to go to. I did not like the feeling of not knowing what I wanted to do as a career. It would eat at me, so I decided to just hide it away deep down until it would find its way out eventually with the right answer a year and a half later. My classes were consisting of required courses that I had no care for. Back when I was a sophomore, we were required to take chemistry in order to complete high school. My chemistry teacher was the worst. He did not care about my assignments enough to actually take his time and read through them and give me an accurate score on my assignments and tests. No matter how hard or little I tried, he would always give me a score of a D or C, Teachers like him are what cause the students to have this thought of, “No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to better myself, I am worthless in their eyes.”. That’s the message I received when I was handed a sixty percent for my semester grade in that class. That teacher didn’t care about me, he didn’t want to waste his precious time on me. Teachers like him are like the diseases in the education…

    Personal Narrative: Shaping My Year In High School

    Taking risks. Not being afraid to reach for the stars, to toss everything and start over, to defy practices that are believed to be law, to speak up when everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless. “High risk. High reward.” is the quote that has helped me shape my life throughout my years in school. Not only has this assisted me in expanding my mindset but has also opened a world of possibilities for maximizing my success in the future.…

    Ap English Reflection

    One of my more enriching experiences occurred during my freshman year of high school. For years, I strove for straight A's, and for years I received them. Over time I constructed a mentality, and underlying self-confidence that I would receive an A no matter what. Due to my over-confidence, I was under the impression that I would not have to put forth much effort; however, near the conclusion of the second semester, I had a B in Pre-AP English 9. Despite my last push to earn a 90% in the class with the concluding assignments of the semester, my grade was finalized lower than I had wished for. It felt as if a five pound ball of lead materialized in the pit of my stomach. This experience, at first, devastated me to the fullest extent, and I…

    This was my first year at Sublette High School, and I can not believe that it has already flown by like the wind blows the leaves. I remember someone saying to me when I was starting high school that it will go by so fast, and it has. I seems like school just started not that long ago, but at the same time it has taken a long time to get to summer. But I am also excited for next year and what it will bring. Next year, I am going to improve as a student and a musician.…

    4.0 Research Paper

    During my freshman year of highschool, I was determined to keep my grades high and obtain a 4.0. As the first semester of 9th grade ended, I possessed all A’s and performed well on my finals. Then, as semester two quickly came to an end, I ended up with all A’s except for one class: World History. Finals came around and my grade became low in that class and my chances of getting the 4.0 I dreamed of became slim. I needed to receive higher than a 96 percent on my final to get an A in the class, which seemed almost impossible. I thought to myself that I need to study really hard for this final if I want to start off highschool with all A’s. Also, I prayed very hard and kept faith that I would be able to accomplish this challenge. Therefore, I studied every little detail from every notes, homework, and worksheets that I had received all semester. In…

    Personal Narrative: My Sophomore

    At the end of my Freshman year my family had finally closed a deal on a house, and with that closing another door of opportunity opened. Living in this new location put us in a different school district, and my father was pretty insistent that i tried going to regular high school. Which my mother would then interject with, “The boy is doing fine and he is loving what he is doing. Why would we change that?”. Now you might be thinking along the same lines as my mother. If i had friends, structure, and was enjoyed the curriculum i was doing, then why would i switch? Why not just let this opportunity go by and keep on chugging along? Fortunately, this story is a little more interesting than that. I decided that i wanted to try and do my Sophomore…
