I never thought senior year would be fast approaching and I would soon hear my name being called over the loud speaker to grasp the paper that we all work so hard for. There are many monsters I have battled through the course of high school, some I have walked away with a victory and others I have been defeated. I have lost all motivation in the last weeks of my senior year, while one day feels like one year.…

practically nothing. But I did pass, and this is my story. The first day the drivers ed class went to drivers ed we were all a little excited. The class should have been in the auditorium but there was something going on so Mr.Tuch told us to go to the high school gym. He introduced us, “Welcome to drivers ed, i am Mr.Tuch, and we usually sit in the auditorium but it's being used for a play, so we are just sitting in here for today”. Our first day was basically just stuff we already knew, and…

another day of school which I dreaded. Instantly I went into a state of gloom as in a matter of two hours I 'd be sitting in class counting down the hours until dismissal. I told my parents goodbye and scurried to the bus stop. I walked down the street and to the corner where the bus would arrive. As it approached the urge of not attending school got stronger and stronger. I greeted the driver, paid the fare, and made my way to the seat. Suddenly I thought, what if I ditched school today. The…

I was 201 pound, 5’6 when I noticed I needed to change. Change is something that I have been wanting to accomplish since my high school’s years. I just did not know where to begin. My parents would not invest in a gym membership because at the time I was underage and they did not have the time to come with me. They did not think I needed to join a gym. Thought I would give up because I was a little gym shy. I thought by joining the soccer team I would lose the weight; however, my school’s…

Thursday morning in January. I was sitting in history class when suddenly something very strange happened; the announcement speakers came on. To most people it would seem like it was a very typical day to day event to listen to announcements; but at my school announcements were rarely ever said. My classroom got completely silent; to the point where you could have heard a pin drop. The words that came next were like an explosion and disbelief fell on all of us. “We want to have a moment of…

looked it up on the internet. I picked up my belongings, decided then that my jacket looked better with the new rip in it, and walked back to class, alone. I didn’t know that the other children were making fun of me, it was just another part of school. I never resented the bullies, nor do I believe they truly resented me. In hindsight, they were most likely driven by their own curiosities. I was the only Asian in the entire homeschooling supplement, and was always treated with a mixture of…

I won something on my own accord. The sophomore year of my high school career was the worst year of my life, easily. It was the year my father, David Lane Brown, died after 3 years of suffering lung cancer.
