Not only is this song very nice to listen to(and by a great band) but is also a near perfect representation of this year of school. For me, sixth and seventh grade were amazing. The sheer amount of fun I had during those two years are incomparable to the year before in elementary school. The two years of school made my almost, almost look forward to school. I did well in school, I was in honors for my main three classes, and my friends and I basked in the glory of disliking our GotYa teacher. Every single time I reflect back onto those years, it is always accompanied by a sense of warm nostalgia, and I never remember any bad memories, at least when I don’t try.

Unfortunately, eighth grade did not continue the glorious moments. I was not doing very well, I was pretty miserable in some of my classes, and I had my least favorite person in two of my classes, whereas in both sixth and seventh grade he was only in two of my class for both years. The work overloaded me, and I let my severe problem of …show more content…
I was in an almost permanent bad mood, and I got made pretty easily. I couldn’t even imagine going through this for a full year. I wasn’t sure was going to happen to me, and the coasts were incredibly uncertain. As winter came rolling through, I was still carrying the scars of the terrible start, and I thought I was going to get kicked out of math for not maintaining a B. My parents were not only mad, but also very disappointed in my academic failing. To be honest, I did feel very suffocated, and felt that I had no options. I had dreams that seemed so real, so unfortunately real. They were mostly about the uncertainty of school and life after school. Even after I would wake up I would still think about the crippling fear of what is to come after school, and what I have to face for the next semester of school. The line “These nightmares always hang on past the dream!” would really stick with me, just like the

I realized, as I stood at the counter of the only open coffee shop that early in the morning, that my exchange program was not going to be an easy task. "A duhnit, please" The waitress stared at me with a puzzled look. "A what?" "A duhnit." I pointed my finger. She inquired in an awkward tone, "A donut?" In Canada, the only option of having to learn and speak in English threw me off course. As my peers grew with knowledge, my learning remained stagnant. I couldn't comprehend the lectures from my…

A month later, I received rejection emails from the universities that I have applied; time and time again, my depression worsened every time I saw “We regret that we are unable to offer you admission.” I thought that my life was over and did not go as planned. I felt so embarrassed like the time in first grade I accidentally urinated myself in front of everyone in my classroom. I wanted to hide inside a huge cave to avoid contact with anybody, especially my family. Every time I told my mom that I…

Today around 3:25, Mr. Brewster’s sub called me and asked if I would come and get Luis. She said that he was not listening to either her or Mrs. Konkoleski. When we got back to my room he was quiet and did not communicate. I left him alone and set the timer. When the timer went off, I asked him if he was ready to talk or work on his homework.

I'm happy with the way semester one concluded. My exam results were the highest they have ever been and I worked harder than I have in past years around exam season.

In English, I got extremely high grades on my papers and my CRJ presentation, which I got stressed…
