top math students were placed in a pre-AP algebra 1 class. I was excited because I thought that I was gonna love it and it was going to be exactly like all of the other math classes I took.

He was going to be my teacher for the Algebra class. I couldnt wait to begin class thinking that I would hopefully keep my name at the…

The first person that I happened to converse with was a yard duty of whom I asked for directions. He seemed to be a…
I have had many moments recalling fond memories of the first time I stayed away from home by myself. It was at ALERT Academy in Sandy Springs Texas, and the program was called Skills Training for Emergency Preparedness, or STEP. The program was designed for Christian young ladies and was set up similarly to what I imagine boot camp would be like, though not as strict. While I was there, I learned canoeing, search and rescue, CPR, first aid, AED training, survival training, basic home maintenance…
To eat or not to eat in class, for that is the question when people discuss breakfast in the class.

from India. August 21 2010 was my first day of high school. I was enrolled at the STMHS (Science and Technology Magnet High School) it was located in New London. I was exhilarated to start the year. STMHS was a “pubic school” meaning it was funded by the public and the students were not required to pay fees to attend the school. I found everything poles apart from the school I attended back in India. From the infrastructure to the janitorial staff. The first day of school reveled numerous…

My major is Special Education, but knowing about how gym teacher teaches his/her class would help me use some ways to help the kids I work with release their energy. As a gym teacher, she uses many strategies and techniques to run her class. Before the end of the school day on Fridays, Miss. Walters…
The first day of junior year, the day that almost everyone always dreads. One of the most dreadful things I had to do was having to restart my sleeping cycle just so I could wake up in time to make it to school and having to wear an attire that is not suitable for early mornings. Ironing my bright white dressy shirt as well as my khaki pants just to fulfill my schools dress code requirements. When I received my schedule over the summer, my friends and I all tried to get the same classes and…
