I never thought that I would be the teenager in high school who had to grow up a lot faster than the rest of my friends and fellow classmates. I had many dreams and goals I wanted to accomplish while being a teenager, but when I found out that I was expecting a baby my junior year in high school my dreams and goals were put on pause. I graduated high school my junior year. It was exactly one month before I had my wonderful son. My son Kaleb was born May 24 2008, and from that moment on I wanted to give him everything he deserves.
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
I loved researching on topics and taking a position on a motion. I joined a debate club but at first I was just a dormant member. I never took part in any competition. It was not because I didn’t want to but I was too shy to stand infront of people. I knew I had to work on my public speaking skills.
I never had a chance to meet him, I always wonder what he looked like, I have never seen a picture of him, not grown anyways. There are some picture of him when he was younger but that’s it. I wish I could have had a chance to meet him and talk to him. His absence from my life really affected me. I never had a father figure and being a young boy at the reservation I really needed his advice.
Her friends wouldn’t talk to her, and everyone ignored her. No one wants to listen to Melinda’s explanation, and she doesn’t even feel like talking to anyone about that night. She is keeping everything she wants to say bottled up inside her and because of this she has no friends. When she goes for the first day of high school she has no one to sit with. Her best friend Rachel didn’t even sit with Melinda that day.
For months, we enthusiastically planned out the details to go to Kenny Chesney’s concert, even to what we were going to wear. Kate seemed eager, until two days before the concert, when she told me she couldn’t go anymore. Her excuses were the usual ones “I have a bunch of homework,” “I have chores to do,” and “I’m too tired.” I was heartbroken. Although she tried to gain back my trust by assuring me that she would go some other time, I could never believe her. Her perspective had been different from mine.
All my life, I've been great in school; I've always been a leader, almost always the first in my class...until now. I don't know what got into me. I'm so angry at myself; I knew I should have studied harder. Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamt of delivering my Valedictorian speech at Graduation...just like Mom, just like you, just like most of my cousins...now, my shot at being Valedictorian is pretty much over. I feel awful; I feel like I've disappointed everyone, including myself...Why didn't I try harder, I should have paid more attention to my grades.
I never imagined myself taking an AP English class. Upon first arriving in the U.S, I was extremely lonely, lacking any friends or family to share those lonely feeling. At school, I struggled in every class and struggled to make friends with other kids. While at home, television and games provided my only companionship. I missed Vietnam, longing for delicious authentic Vietnamese foods and the love of my big family and closing friends.
Whatever their parents say they will repeat as well as what they hear on TV they will try to perform as the characters do including what say as well as do. The children of today will someday lead this country as well as its people so we must teach our children to be the best that they can be. The third reason is that these shows present inappropriate scene that may not be age appropriate for the children watching because they may want to try to understand by repeating that scene in real life for example if it’s a death scene they may try and repeat that that scene because what if the character jumps of a bridge or runs away I don’t think that someone would want that for their children. And so in conclusion children should not watch sex violence on television because it’s very inappropriate for them to hear and it would not be so good if my children grow up watching this type of cartoons on TV.

I thought that I would make friends right away and do well in school, but I did not. People were not only very judgmental but they would bully me for being different. At the age of nine or ten I could not understand why they hated me so much. There were many times where I would come home to my family crying my eyes out. It has taken me years to make good friends, but now that I have them I feel ambitious and more motivated.
