Personal Narrative By: Chuy (Bad Season)

My first football practice, I am ready to see if I am good. I walk up the Fairbury junior-high stairs up to the practice field, and the whistle blew. “Ok guys lets get into two lines.” Next he teaches us the routes to run and to do sharp cut angles.

We did that and got to know everyone that was all on the team. The next day of practice the coach had put us in a position that might be good for us. We tried our position and we kept moving the ones that weren’t good at that position. The next practice we did just the same for a week. Finally we got our football pads, and started doing tackling drills.

Then, the next day we got schedules, and our first game is coming up in two weeks. One of the coaches that is my health teacher comes up and told me that I was about to fail his class. Then I just started working hard. Sadly the next week came and I was failing, so I wasn’t going to play in the first game.

Now after the first few games that I didn’t get to play in, because of my grades the team won the first three out of ten. The coaches were very, very mad. The next thing that the coaches had us do is to go and lift weights during the end of practice and we do that every other day. Every day I tried to get better at football and my schoolwork, but I just didn’t get it.

Now it was the end of the season and the last game I finally get to play, but I only got to play for two and a half quarter. Now next year I will get help on my homework then.

     The day was pretty good so far, reading was my first class; then I moved on to English. In English class, we worked on peer revising each other's essays. My essay was about a four wheeler I got for Christmas when I was six. I worked really hard on that essay; I put a ton of work into it.

     After I got through my morning classes, I went to lunch. I was surprised to find my mom had come to visit me. She lives in Grand Island so it really shocked me. We talked until lunch was over; then I went to science class. After science I had to go to my new quarter class which is career guidance.We did a survey in there about drugs and alcohol.

     After that class we went to volleyball practice. We worked on positions, serving, and hitting. When we finished practice, we walked to the elementary school. We were pumped and ready to win our last game. We worked hard, so it was sure to pay off. We won, 25 to 14. Im sad that its over. Tomorrow we start basketball.

            What a tiring feeling going through the fifth day of the school week with no break! It has been a tiring week due to harvest. I don’t get home until late night, and then I wake up early to do chores. I am so ready for this weekend.

            In English we finally started our memoir draft. I am writing about a six-hour drive that we took that lasted until 2 in the morning! We have to finish it over the weekend; in my opinion homework over your weekend is horrid.

            Tonight we have to do the junior high marching band for the last senior game of the year. I don’t think we are ready and will be lucky just to pull through. We will all do our best and try to impress the watchful crowd.

        Today in the riveting class of English we went over the writing process and personal narratives. We were assigned to read some personal narrative examples and fill out a sheet on them. Some of the things done in the narratives were completely idiotic. There was one narrative, entitled "The Lawn Mower Accident", that showed that people don't really respect other people's possessions.

        When we started talking about the writing process, we had to throw all of our knowledge into a dumpster. Once that was done we had to put all of the knowledge that the teacher provided us with, which was previously known, into little boxes.

         In band today we worked on our marching show that we will perform on Friday. I have a feeling that our show won't be the most spectacular, because we haven't had enough time to practice. If we try our best though, we might actually get a few claps from the audience.

     Today was a very busy day. I knew it was going to be a busy day because Friday was the end of our quarter. I like having all A’s so I had to get all my homework on time for the teachers to put in the grades. To start the day off, I had reading, and then came English. I was nervous that I was going to have a lot of homework. I had missed Wednesday because I was at the District FFA Livestock Judging Contest. It turns out I placed second in the Jr. High division with around two hundred kids.

     In English, we started the day off by reviewing the steps to pre-write, revise, proof-read, edit, and publishing or presenting your draft. I kind of thought I was lost since I didn’t know what they were talking about, but I eventually caught on. Later on the kids who did not pass the compound sentence strategy had to do two C. Luckily I passed and didn’t have to do that. Towards the end of the day we needed to brainstorm for our memoirs. After we had brainstormed up some ideas, we shared them. I chose to write about when I rode with my dad putting out a fire.

    In band today, we were putting on the finishing touches for our marching show. Our show is this Friday. It is also the last home game for the high school football players, so I’m excited to go watch and march. I think we have the music down pretty well, but I think we need to just be at the right spots at the right time. Also tonight I am going to go to the volleyball game and watch the girls play. Most of the reason why I’m going is because my brother is playing pep band. I will be glad to have  his week behind me and hope you all have a great weekend.

It was a great Tuesday here at OHS. The kids were glad that Monday was over. The day started with reading class. We went through our reading schedule, did vocabulary, and did our lit circles. After that I went to science and worked on my science project which was quite boring. Finally science ended, and I headed off to English. Today in English we read four personal narratives and answered a few questions about them. We also took a test on compound sentences. We didn’t do much in English today.

When school ended, everyone wondered home to be lazy or work on homework. I went home to do homework. Faith came over to work on our science project, which I think is turning out pretty good. After we finished our homework, we decided to go for a walk. When we returned home, she left and my day came to an end.

Today was a long and tiring Tuesday which seemed to have no end. I am glad I got through this Tuesday witch kind of seemed like a Monday. I hope everyone made it through the day also. Happy Tuesday everyone.

        “Mom! Mom! she is going to pour water on me!” I hear my brother yelling from his bedroom.

         This is Decemeberlyn Kilcoin. It is October 14, 2014, and I am about to share my day with you. Don’t you just hate when your eyes pop open, and your alarm hasn’t even gone off yet? That’s how my morning started. Then, almost simultaneously, my alarm goes off and I hear my brother yelling from his room. You see my brother is deaf, so when he yells it is ear piercing. I jumped out of my bed and stumbled to his room. There I see my sister attempting to pour water on my brother. I ask her what she thinks she is doing? She rolls her eyes at me and says, “He won’t get up.” Finally, mom comes and gets him going. Once I get dressed, we head to school.

         My mom drops my older brother, Dawson and I off at school. Dawson heads off in one direction, and I head to my locker. I put my gym bag in my locker, and pull out my textbooks that I will need for the day. Then I head to my first class with Mrs. Kelly. I drop my stuff by her door, and walk down the hallway to breakfast, and pray it doesn’t suck.

          Ding, Goes the bell.  I hurry off to Mrs. Kelly’s room. She is my reading  teacher. We usually read a chapter from our book but today we had a test. If we finished before class was done we were supposed to work on book study. Well, no one got done, So Mrs. Kelly said we will just have to finish it tomorrow. Ding, the bell rings and I head to Mr. Morrow’s class. He is my science teacher. We are working on ecosystems and life science. Class went pretty fast and then ding goes the bell, again. I head to Mrs. Treoster, and Mrs. Babl’s class. They are my English teachers. We took a quiz, easy peasy, only five questions. Then we looked at murals and did a worksheet on it. Ding goes the bell, and I head to my next class. So, there is how my day goes untill finally, DING!

         Final Bell, the best sounding ding, the ding that says school is done for this day, October 14, 2014. This is Decemberlyn Kilcoin and this is a day in my life.
