During the end of the first day of sophomore year I remember walking into the room "eight-zero-one" at my high school and thinking "why would the counselors give me a chorus class?" I didn't think of myself as a singer. I mean, playing piano for twelve year has been a great experience and I have always strived to achieve excellence in all classes, activities and groups to which I belong; but singing? I can only remember singing in the shower and occasionally to my dogs. As I took a seat, the chorus direction, Ms. Morrow, introduced herself and began to teach us how to read music.
Being a leader in my band provides me with a sense of pride. Working as a group is a huge challenge, but in the end, it is worth it to put on a spectacular performance. My musical career has helped me become a more confident individual. I have been performing solos and in ensembles since the seventh grade. To be able to achieve a superior rating at these contests, one must practice every week.
It was different to make friends with people a lot older than me. I soon realized that everybody was there to have fun and everybody there was there to help. Gilroy/Christopher Alliance Marching Band, I am really going to miss all of you guys. My first two years were the experience of a lifetime. All the traditions, all the hard work, all the love we have as friends, family, and community have taught me how to be a part of a caring family like the Gilroy/Christopher Alliance where everybody has your back no matter what.
Similar to Sedaris’ situation, I have also experienced disappointment when commitments were suddenly shattered and I have been forced to cope with the irreparable change in my relationship with an unreliable person. In my freshman year of high school, I was thrilled that my best friend, Kate, and I would be finally attending the same school. We had been best friends since kindergarten and were inseparable. She knew all my secrets and I knew hers. Soon after the school year began, I found out how much a person can change and how this change can affect your future friendship with
I believe that I should be head cheerleader because I am dedicated to everything that I do. I’ve been cheerleading since the age of five years old, and on a varsity level for two. I’ve participated on an All- Star team for two years. I’ve also served as the Youth Praise Dance Leader at my church for 6 years. My interpersonal skills have all been sharpened because of this endeavor.
There are certain characters that will be mentioned throughout this writing that are absolutely central. They are Rose Mitchum and Beth Ross. Names have and will be changed. This is the complete story of my freshman year in all its glory. FIRST QUARTER The first few weeks passed without much ado; I spent most of my time with the friends I had met at marching band camp.
My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back. My senior year I transferred to Christ Missionary and Industrial high school (college) the year flew by but I really enjoyed myself there. Now I am still here at CM&I , I supposed to be a summer graduate if everything goes as planned. Once I finish high school I plan on signing up for the air
This wasn't any regular cheer competition, this was the Special Olympics and this was my first time volunteering as a Unified Partner. It was my Senior year in high school. Thinking back I never would have thought I would be faced with the amazing opportunities that came to me during the school year. Just before I was making my schedule my principal approached me and asked me to become a Peer Mentor. She explained that I would be tutoring freshman and helping them with their school work for two class periods a day.
Cheerleading is all about competition, teamwork, and dedication and I think that’s why it’s my favorite sport. When I first starting cheering I fell in love with the sport! I learned discipline, teamwork, and trust. Being able to trust my teammates with my life when they throw me in the air is a feeling like no other. My coaches have made me gain confidence and that means the world to me.
Haram Kang, a smart, but yet intimidating individual because of his incredible maturity was one of the most crucial cures to my disease. Despite his young age he was praise leader of Tempe Korean Presbyterian Church’s youth group and many, including me look up to him. Oh how I’ve dreamed of entering his praise team and participating in making music for what I believe in. I tried practically every instrument possible for the praise team, but of course quit and threw down that dream. Haram noticed how hard I’ve
