They even thought that I was high and gone off of a top notch drug. Some even asked if I could supply them with some of the “products”. In a speech Dr. King quoted, “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” The biggest problem I had out of my friends that Thursday though, was not saying anything to one of them about bullying and talking down on this guy that we did not even know. I felt like I was the one bullying him because I did not say or do anything about it. I just
If I had talked to the cops, nothing would have been wrong. Instead I ran, and I wasted the time of the cops when they could have been dealing with other serious things. I had the cops looking for me for around two hours, and they had no idea why I ran, so I am sure they were expecting the worst. I am lucky that the cops treated me the way they did. They had no idea who they were dealing with, but I imagine that they had to think it was someone dangerous because I ran.
When I was seven and moved to Maryland I felt out of place because I had no friends and went to a new school. At this age, I was timid and making friends was not an easy task so I spent my first year or so living without close friends or family. This was a sad time for me because this was supposed to be the most exciting and carefree time of my life and had nobody to share it with. Reading Baldwin's essay made me realize how traumatizing being secluded from society can feel, but on a higher level. I now believe that he is correct that the differences between whites and black will always exist but they have decreased in significance over the past few decades that have passed since the essay was
The game he always loved was about to be taken away from him. Andrew tore his shoulder completely in a playoff game his sophomore season. He saw his whole life change in a matter of seconds. What would be the next step for a kid who knows nothing but football? That next step would end up to be the best thing to ever happen to him.
I tried to keep focus but my solitude was starting to become unbearable. Yes there were many students around but they all seemed to have their own network since they knew their classmates from their previous schools while all of my friends were in regular ed classes. I started to rebel and slacked off so much that teachers began to wonder why i was in a advanced class since they thought i couldn't hack their work load when in reality all i wanted to do was be placed in regular ed just to be with my friends. Odd and dumb reason, i know but I didn't know that at the time. Eventually I was moved from classes due to my insubordination and i was content at the time.
If I would invest the time needed to organize I would have received a better grade. English has never been my forte in high school; I failed one whole semester because I was infected with senioritis. My mentality was that I didn’t HAVE to do anything because graduation was just around the corner, but boy was I wrong. This set of mentality pushed me back in my senior year and it prohibited me from enjoying my last year as my friends were living it up at all the parties while I was home finishing up my online class as a result of my failure. Online classes required self determination and a lot time.
Coach kept telling them to keep giving Theo the ball, because he was one of the best running backs we had. So one play Theo got the ball and ran all the way to Henry County’s 30 yard line. The next play coach called was “Wiggle Pass”; this was our bread and butter pass play. Our quarterback at the time was Brandon Robertson, so the center hiked the ball to him and hit stepped back and threw the ball to our Tight End; Isaiah Henry for a touchdown. Afterwards, we went for the two point conversion off the same play and he dropped the ball.
It is mean and rude, but it discourages the girls from trying out for the football team or wrestling team. It has been like that for years and no one should cross that line because it isn’t the traditional way. I broke the tradition I was the first girl to play football for the Snake River Panthers. Plus I had total support from my family. I asked my parents what they thought of me playing football.
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . 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.
Until they brought up my background check and saw I had a DWI, they took back the offer. They said they couldn't give it to me because the assistant manager has to drive to meetings and their insurance they went through would not cover me. I was humiliated because they overlooked that I had a DWI written on my application. It only took me one time to learn my lesson and unfortunately it takes others many more times with that comes prison
