that this story isn’t about how some of my middle school experience sucked and some stupid stuff happened here and there. The purpose of this is to kinda tell you not to make the same dumb mistakes, that I made in middle school, when you’re in high school. Just to let you know. Let’s start with 6th grade, it's where it all started. In my opinion, I hated it. To start with, I almost lost all my friends from elementary school, I got a d in language arts as my final grade, because I forgot to complete…

When I first attended Forest Hills Northern in March of my 8th grade year, I instantly felt an overwhelming welcome from the staff and students at FHN. I couldn’t have been more spoiled as an unfamiliar middle school student. My counselor, Ms. Telzerow, helped me with almost everything possible, from providing me with the option to take ATYP math as a new student to introducing me to students that have similar interests. All of the teachers were very willing to give me the attention and assistance…

Narrative of Adolescence Years Abstract This paper is a narrative of my adolescent years from twelve to eighteen. I label these years of awkwardness and pain off a hit show from the early nineties called, “The Growing Pains.” Similar to the characters in the show I struggled creating a personal identity and had difficulty blending in with societal norms. As a result I suffered from much insecurity, false conceptions of beauty, and depression. Up until writing this paper I felt these ideologies…

over the course of three years. I love to write fictional narratives; there’s no rules, boundaries, and infinite possibilities to express your emotions, thoughts, and messages in the art of writing. The time for this process and picking this piece couldn’t be more perfect. I have recently started Cape Henry Track, and I can directly relate to how Anna feels after running--tired. I also found it interesting writing about a side of two of my best friends, Faith and Anna, that doesn't necessarily exist…

Ms. Thao Nguyen Essay 2: Research Narrative 03/07/2023 Beyond the Fantasy Baywatch, the iconic TV series that graced the screens of millions around the world, is held as a nostalgic relic of the ‘90s. Its portrayal of the sun-kissed beaches of LA, the adrenaline-pumping rescues, and of course, the impossibly attractive lifeguards who patrolled the shores with unwavering diligence resonated deeply with audiences. In seventh grade (very much after the 90s), my friend and I would watch religiously…

In my high school career, the most interesting course I have taken is AP English Literature and Composition during my Junior year. Being a higher-level course, this class challenged me as a reader, a writer, and a thinker. While we read similar novels to other students around the country, such as The Great Gatsby, Othello, and In The Time of the Butterflies, the way my instructor taught us to apply the readings and lessons to everyday life seemed out-of-the-ordinary. AP English Literature and Composition…

Illness narratives give people an inside look into an illness getting the perspective of what it is like for the patient. With illness narratives, it gives others with the same illness hop and why even push them to keep going and not give up. It can even be beneficial for others who do not share the illness like family or friends who have a loved one with an illness. Others can find it educational, inspirational, and influential. I think illness narratives are extremely beneficial to doctors as well…

Felsenfeld’s narrative, “Rebel Music”, he talks about his interaction with classical music within his early to adult life. This appeals to me because I fit quite similarly to the kind of story he tells, but more on the vocal music spectrum of things. The drive of his essay was to dictate how he categorizes himself as a rebel. To me, it brought up how he learned to fall in love with music, the meaning of being a “rebel”, and how it became a passion. When assessing and responding to a narrative discussing…

over much of my previous work as an illustrator and writer, such as The Rabbits (about colonisation), The Lost Thing (about a creature lost in a strange city) or The Red Tree (a girl wandering through shifting dreamscapes), I realise that I have a recurring interest in notions of ‘belonging’, particularly the finding or losing of it. Whether this has anything to do with my own life, I’m not sure, it seems to be more of a subconscious than conscious concern. One contributing experience may have been…
