Essay / Life and journey since high school - 1668
Many teenagers have different aspects of their high school experience. There were the popular kids, the nerdy kids, the emo kids, the gangsters, the jocks, and even the ones who just seemed normal. In my case, I was usually portrayed as a normal student when I walked around campus, but that's not how my classmates, friends, and professors saw me. They saw me in a different category. It’s funny that the path I took wasn’t the one I expected. Before we start high school, let's start with a brief introduction to school life. Think of it as a prologue. What shaped me before first year. In kindergarten, I started classes late and I was the new student. Everyone already had friends and when we have free time, everyone does an activity and I was the only one who usually chose craft activities. This is the start of my antisocial behavior. From elementary school on, I found it harder to make friends or understand the world. I had few interactions with the outside world, and the only ones I had were going to the store to buy toys and being looked after by my mother's sisters if my grandmother was working. Even my toys were my only friends back then, because I had no one to play with. When I got to first grade, I tried to get by with the other kids. I tried to act like them, be friends with them, I even tried to act like the cool kids on TV. The roles I ended up playing were either the class clown or the shy guy. From the first to the sixth, all I could accomplish was make a fool of myself and others saw me more as a background character. I guess my only best friend there was a kid named Jeri, who I hang out with from time to time and our parents are on good terms with each other. After primary school, I...... middle of paper..... .most teachers. I actually liked my math class for once, my last position in JROTC was an Sheriff of Reno. I passed all my classes, completed the HSPE and was on my way to graduation. Here is my conclusion, or rather my epilouge. My life at school was so much like something out of a book or a movie. I went from being the pathetic person that no one understood, to becoming someone who had a lot of impact not only on myself, but on others as well. I didn't know what I was capable of, but when I walked on stage in my graduation dress, I knew I had reached the end of my primary school education. I'm now entering college and I'm still wondering what's next for me. It can end with smiles and bonds of friendship and love, or with sadness and desolation. Only time will tell.
