I was unable to play football for the first 3 weeks because of my grades. When I learned of this I immediately started going to labs and everything I could so I still had my starting position and was able to play. After that I never let my grades get under a 2.0 so it couldn’t happen again. The other thing that really pushed me was me looking at my future career. With bad grades like I had, no collages would want me.
I tolerated the bulling every day until one day, in my senior year, Dick didn't show up to school for a whole week. He had dropped out of high school, and from then on, even throughout college, I never had a problem
A Modern Day “Frog King” It was the beginning of Jason’s freshman year of high school. He had always been a good student and an excellent basketball player. Everything was going smoothly for Jason until he walked into his freshman Algebra class on the first day of school. Unlike basketball, Algebra was something Jason just couldn’t seem to understand. He studied everyday but still did poorly in that class.
My experiences as a junior changed my entire outlook on my role as a student athlete and caused me to reevaluate my perspective on the things that were important to me. When school started on August 26, and all my teachers began to give daily quizzes based on the summer readings, I knew I was in trouble. I started to fall behind due to the amount of time required to complete each assignment, and I had to complete it for all four of my classes. I knew I wasn’t off to a good start of the school year. I was told that when you become a junior that’s when everything starts to get harder and you have to buckle down meaning no time for friends and really no weekend because it was going to require a lot of work, but I was sure that if I got through middle school, 9th and 10th grade that it would be no different than any other grade level class that I had taken already and passed.
After that we spent the day in processing which is always the boring part I thought, not this time if we weren’t busy we were doing PT. I was ready to die that night. The rest of the week was a blur I was in so much pain I was just pushing through. We did two multiple-mile runs, demoralizing circuit PT (three laps around a 0.8mi track doing all kinds of different exercises like bear crawls, crab walks, and iron mikes along the way), and rolling around in a gravel pit for an hour and a half in a session the Army likes to call
Every athlete strives to be the best they can be, but dedication plays a key role in being the best. Michael Jordan, for example, was cut from his high school basketball team. With dedication, he worked hard, kept his mind right, and ended up playing in the NBA. Jordan would stay after practice, play on the weekends, and work in the off season striving to get better. He had the dedication to make 1000 jumpers a day, and that is why he is arguably the best to ever play.
After three minutes of running, he tagged Daniel and he was it. I knew I could not out run Daniel, so I turned to run but foot was struck in a hole and then the next thing I knew I was it and on the ground and in pain. I did not know what happen but all I knew was it hurt. I saw my friends laughing at me and mocking me saying, “Look at the cry baby. What a sissy!” After I few minutes I got my foot unstuck and one of the playground people who were in charged ask if I was ok and if I was hurt but I told them no.
At the start of the novel Stanley is fat and has no friends, however when he goes to the Camp Green lake he gets friends, and he also digs lots of holes. He met boys called magnet, armpit, x-ray, zero, zigzag and squid. Stanley was getting bullied and had no friends at his school, so he was not a very happy person. Then when he goes to Camp Green Lake he makes friends, gets really healthy and strong and is enjoying his life at camp. But at the start he got bullied and he was scared to join in with some of the boys.
When I was in my Junior High School years, I dropped out because I had really low grades and I was super behind in all my classes. My family and I were migrants; my entire childhood was spent in the fields and I literally mean in the fields not just working up North. I would spend half of the school year working with my parents and sisters, so by the time I went back to school, I was behind and very lost in all my subjects. I would stay after school every single day until I catched up with every missing grade that I had. Never did I enjoy staying after school just to fill up grades I never wanted to fail.
Literacy Narrative Readings I have always dreamed of having a job in the law field but going to school has been a struggle for me ever since I was younger. I was the type of child that always stayed to myself, also known as the loner. My grandparents raised me and they were always at work so I never got any help with any of the work I would struggle on. So as most children with parents like mine I did not do very well. I started to flunk high school and started hanging out with the wrong crowd.
