I love school I really do it is like a second home to me. My family has always told me if I want to be anything in the world I can be. I have to go to school first because it’s going to help me get to my dream faster. Education is freedom of learning to become a better person in the future. It’s what I got from my parents as I got older and my education got more intense. School was never a happy place for me.
When I was little my last name was different from everyone else so people would make fun of me and after a while it started to go away because my brother’s had said something to shut them up. It wasn’t so bad after that but, then I moved to El Paso I thought I could change my personality and identity because, no one knew me here. The only thing I couldn’t change was my last name and I thought San Antonio was mean this city was a whole new mean compared to them.
Middle school was not fun at all I would get called so many names that I hated going to school. It was so bad that some teachers would make fun of me which just made it worse for me. After a while I gave up trying to make them like me because, I knew that this was going to keep going on. I became mean. I didn’t care what people thought about me, I knew they were going to make fun of me either way. I wanted to get out of there so bad that I talked to my aunt and she said if you want to get out so bad you have to get good grades so you can go to a magnet school and honestly you won’t see them in high school. That’s when school became important for me so I could get out of there.
Now I love my high school there is so many people that have different last names that I learned to love my last name. Why did I want the same last name as someone else last name I have a unique one and it makes people remember me faster and longer.
I can totally relate to you, especially the part about middle school. I honestly feel that those three years were the complete and total definition of HELL ON EARTH. I feel high school gives a chance for people to be who they really are and even find what makes the unique.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that. I always hated my name because no one can pronounce it right but then I just stopped being so obsessive because I can't expect everyone to know how to pronounce it and I can't expect everyone to be able to. We should be proud of our names because they are part of who we are.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the part of hating school, well sometimes at least. But my last name is pretty cool in my opinion so yea. But the story was good and well written.
ReplyDeleteI have one of the most basic last names in the U.S. I think we should all be glad we don't have a last name like Dinkleworth or something.
