While I was in school, I was working two jobs that were both very time consuming. I worked both nights and weekends and it was more than one student could handle at a time or would want to handle. Working all the time in school left little time to work on school assignments and study time. After working long hours I spent my time sleeping instead of doing homework, and this led to my lack of experience in writing and reading. I would fall asleep in class because I was so tired.
To me there was nothing really different about me except the fact that I was chunky wore glasses, but most of us were the same way back then. In pre-school and kindergarten I had lots of friends and everyone got along but once I got to first grade some things had changed. A lot of my friends moved the summer before we went to the first grade and the other ones had different teachers than me so in a way I guess you could call me a loner. I made new friends but I was also alone a lot and I am still that way today. But I digress.
Computers are now being introduced in kindergarten classes. When older students went to school, computers did not exist. Because of this, older students lack the knowledge of online usage, and struggle during online classes. Life experiences are an area where the older students have an advantage. Adult students have the
I moved thinking Richmond would be horrible, but I actually love it. I remember when winter break was over I was supposed to start the same day Richmond did but they did not get all my papers sent over, so I missed like a week of school because of that. When I finally did start I only really knew a couple of people which was good. At least I didn’t start school where everyone was a complete stranger. Over time I developed really strong friendships with a lot of people.
On the first day of school, Wade points out that Lorna doesn’t do well in classes because they don’t move fast enough for her; she usually just sits in class and reads on her own. Jesse is one of the few Indians to attend the school, and the other students stare at him. Wade and Jesse find out that they have a few classes together and begin their day. After lunch, they hang out on the senior steps. When a younger student approaches the steps, one of the seniors gives him a hard time.
Part 1 At one point in high school my grades were below par which didn’t really make my parents happy. They decided to enroll me into a tuition center where may other kids take tuitions during the school holiday. One week in, I didn’t have a single friend, probably because I’ve always been a really shy person. I sat outside reading before my morning class. I looked up and noticed this girl was moving towards me, she engaged into conversation with me and then told me she thought I was real good looking and that definitely was an ego booster, she then suddenly left and I never saw her again because that was my last summer school class.
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.
I then began attending number eleven school where I made one friend only because she lived down the block from where I just moved. Once I started at number eleven and met my new teacher and classmates I was nervous and a lot of the kids did not seem to like the fact I was there. The day I stepped into that class was the day my life changed and has shaped me into the person I am today. I was four years old when my family and I moved to Jersey City Heights. My time living there I was happy and I started
As I journeyed through high school I struggled to find motivation to read even the assigned novels and reading. Eventually, I fell victim to the allure of spark notes and the time it saved. After sports were over for me the distraction became a job. Working six days a week at Zaxbys left no time for trivial pleasures such as reading. My saving grace became AP English IV my senior year.
I remember going to kindergarten at Greenville Elementary School. During the school year I wasn’t able to sit still for a long period of time because of my lack of concentration. Unfortunately, by the end of the year I still couldn’t read even though everyone else could, which may have been a direct correlation from spending most of my time on the playground instead of the classroom. So my parents had me retake kindergarten the following year, and luckily my parents enrolled me in a new school once we moved that year to Wilmington, North Carolina. This allowed me to not have to worry about the kids who would have been in first grade the next year.
