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 took the regents for the third time in January 2011 and again, I didn’t pass. I continued taking the Algebra II Trigonometry class after school, and again took the regents in June of 2011. I passed all my other regents tests including Geometry that month and when I got my results for the Algebra II Trigonometry Regents, I started crying. I finally passed. I was so happy that I didn’t have to worry about the stress of this topic anymore.
A passing mention Frances Cayton heard in a history class was enough to fuel more than a year of intense research for a paper that never got a grade. In fact, it wasn’t even assigned. But that’s not to say that Frances, a senior at St. Mary’s School in Raleigh, wasn’t rewarded for her effort. Her paper was accepted for publication this fall in The Concord Review, a highly selective quarterly journal that publishes academic research papers from high school students. In Frances’ Western Civilization honors class sophomore year, teacher Lisa Grabarek mentioned that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s policies killed more people than Hitler did, and Frances wanted to know more.
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
My UCOR 101 teacher scrutinized the first paper that I wrote and he could tell it was written the night before and even referred to it as a high school paper. My first attempt at a college paper resulted in a bad grade and I knew changes had to be made for my second paper.

Every day I woke up and rushed to school with the anticipation that my name would not be there. But for the first week of two, I managed to succeed. It wasn’t until a rainy Wednesday, two days from the final cut, that my name ceased to exist on the team roster. I was
Art Presentation Paper On Tuesday April, 20 2010 I attended an art presentation in Bohannan 90 at 6 o’clock. It was the last available presentation that we could attend and write this required paper for the class. I knew early in the semester that I should go and get it done and not wait until the last minute because I would regret it. Well sure enough I procrastinated and I definitely regretted it. Within the first five minutes of being there I regretted it.
This went on for around two weeks. The next Tuesday she finally asked me a question, “did we have homework?” she questioned me. I replied with a blunt “no.” We had had homework the night prior, but I did not want to converse with her. I acted this same way towards her until half way through the semester. Meagan starting to become good friends with one of my best friends, Erika.
Michelle’s Memoir This is my life through school; I went to public school all the way through seventh grade I then left North Augusta middle because I didn’t like the people there, After a few days of looking for schools my mother found the perfect school for me Victory Baptist Private School!
