Personal Narrative: Get Out Of School

Improved Essays
It was a really nice day in central Pennsylvania out in the fall on a Thursday in the fall at my small old Jr. High school that has been around since the 1920s and I was going through my day like any other and I was in my least favorite class at the time science. I really dreaded science through out grade school and high school.
But about fifteen minutes into class I hear on the loud speaker “Ms. albert will you please tell Lewis he is to be demised”. I was really surprised and didn’t know why I was getting to get out of school and was kind of happy at first. So I went to the office to wait for my dad to pick me up and I look up at the secretary and she was a nice smaller older lady that I talked to time to time when I needed to go to the office.

    A dilemma that I faced, and still am facing is simply the decision about what I want to do with my life after my high school career. In my freshman year of high school my goal was simply to get through the year in one piece. I was forced to conform to my new environment and all the strict rules that came along with it. Along with that it was the sudden transition from being the "big dogs" as eighth graders at my middle school to being "fresh-meat" in my first year high school. With so much attention placed on me as a freshman like on the varsity basketball team, where I was constantly forced to prove my worth to the coach and the players, to stepping out of my comfort zone and performing in a mandatory play for the rest of the the school as…

    To be honest, I hate school with a passion, yet I love learning as much as living. As a child, schooling created a feeling of loneliness and sadness that echoed throughout my life, even now. I didn’t meet the standard levels for literacy and was separated from my classmates in elementary school for special reading and writing classes. Also the lack of freedom to say and move the way I wished to, and the rebellion that stemmed out of me in middle school due to these limitations. Finally, the conforming in high school to appease my mother, friends that drove me over the edge, yet even now I feel the same bull-crap in college.…

    My First Time Babysitting It was a dark rainy Friday evening, school just let out for the weekend and I was free except I still had one thing to do left, as I was doing a weird walk jog across the campus while trying not to get soaked just to get to the main building, as my phone started to make this weird ringing noise and obviously I got a bunch of looks.

It was still pouring down rain when I looked out of the window, by this time the storm was almost through…
