ring. But why? It was all anybody wanted, another snow day. I didn’t receive any phone calls that night, and I prayed that the phone was broken. But the dreaded truth was that there was going to be school that day, no doubt about it. Snow fell thickly to the ground, coating it with a white layer, like icing on a cake. I didn’t want to go to school, I didn’t want to wear layers of clothing to prevent frostbite, or trudge through snow, getting my socks damp, or run for the bus slipping and sliding

to start my first day of school in America. Unlike most students in the fifth grade, I wasn't worried about what to wear or which class I would have with my friends. In fact I had no friends.

It had only been two months since my family and I came from Ethiopia and everything was still brand-new to me, especially the language. My first day

My teacher told me to go across the street and give a lesson to elementary school students on anything that will be helpful for them in the future. It took me a while to come up with an idea to teach the students. Finally, I came up with an idea to teach them on what to expect in middle school. The first thing I told those students is that you have a lot more freedom and teachers won’t always do things for you. I wish someone told me that before my first day of middle school. On the first day I

I never expected my Junior Year of high school to turn out like it had. My school, Columbine High, was all over the news. When I had arrived to school on that dreadful Tuesday morning, everyone was warned through the television monitors that ¨today is not a good day to be here¨ (West). Many people were confused, myself included; many were also worried about what was going to happen.

“Get the hell out of my car,” mom urged playfully. Wearing an unnecessarily large backpack and reveling in the significance of the moment, I caught my reflection in the window: a young, slender man with “black” skin from my father, “almond shaped” eyes from my mother, and a big braced smile all my own. My walk turned into a stride with swagger, pleased with what I see. Before I entered my first day of Thomas Jefferson High School (TJ), I looked back at mom one last time for reassurance. Typically

using my experiences throughout my freshman year, I can help other freshman by giving students advice to successfully finish their freshman year. In order for freshman to be successful in their high school year, freshman need to study for tests, participate in school activities, and not miss a day of school. First, freshman need to study for tests. Not studying for tests can give a student a not so good grade on a test. For example, at one point in my freshman year, I was not studying for my math

There are many reasons that I believe a 4 day school week would be more beneficial than five. A four-day school week would be better

Mauldin High School is the school I currently attend, and so far it’s been rather boring for me. I began my career in high school taking the hardest classes my school offered to freshmen. The farther into the year I got, the less interested I became. My classes weren’t as fun as I had hoped, nor were they as challenging. I began to lose interest quick, and my days became mundane and dull. This is a big deal considering nearly half the year I spent my days in a way I considered a waste of my time. It

Personal Narrative My fifth grade year at St. Joseph Sylvania was by far the worst. I would walk into school everyday in fear of sitting alone in class, or being called horrible names. I understand that I did not have the worst bullying experience there is, but I realized how fast a bright, sunny day can turn dark and gloomy. Every time I was teased or belittled it felt as though a 20 pound weight was added onto my shoulders for me to carry. I was fed up with teachers telling me to have thicker

Middle school for some people is an easy time where they are interested in learning the new way of “big kids” school, with changing classes, and new teachers, and harder subjects. For me, I was excited for the change and the advancement in school, but I think I was almost too excited that I became anxious. Just before the first day of school in 6th grade, I got myself so worked up and worried about all the possible things that could go wrong. I had a homeroom teacher that was supposedly very strict
