The guy that wants to give smiles
I was 14 when I started my freshman year in Carter high school. It was great, I had my friend from my past and I made some new ones. I loved my classes and couldn’t wait until next year. However, things don’t always go as planned. My sister was getting into trouble, so my dad decided to move her with my grandpa and my aunts. Therefore he believed that I should go with her, because my sister and I have been together since birth. So I was leaving everything I known to a 3 hour drive to lindsay. It wasn’t as bad as you think, I love my grandpa and I always visit him during my days off of school. but this was different, I didn’t know anyone in lindsay let alone kids my age. But the worst of all was leaving my dad, we were never close when I was younger, however during my summer break he told me stories of his life and the things he liked. We talked for hours, just connecting with each other, and then we were separated.
So there I was a 15 year old boy starting a new year of highschool. But this school was something I never expected. The class were mixed up and I didn’t know where to go during break and lunch. The school didn’t really have tables like my other school, instead most kids would stand and eat next to wall of the building so I did the same. At least I had my sister with me so I felt a little more at ease. However I wish I could say the same about my grades. I was behind in three of my classes, which were Biology, History, and English. I was able to go to summer school and finish those classes, or so I thought. There was one assignment I didn’t finish in biology. I was imagining myself taking biology all over again. But I was able to do that one assignment in biology after school for an eighth period.
My junior year was my downfall. I was slacking off thinking everything was going to be fine. I failed english that year and there wasn’t any summer school. I felt terrible because I couldn’t go to my cousins 15 year old birthday. So I started practicing by writing essays through my summer vacation. But just as things were looking up for me. Tragedy struck, My mom was dying, she was in a car accident when I was 2 weeks old and had been bedridden for 17 years. Then she was dying with a sickness and since her body was so weak there was nothing they could do. Then the day before she died all my aunts and uncles told me all about her and how she wanted her kids to graduate high school. Since she was never able to, So I decided I wasn’t going to slack off and do all my assignment on time or earlier. I also decided that not to let people baby me like when I was a kid, because I realized that everything was handed to me because I had a sad background. However, I don’t let that change who I am, because there’s worse things that have happened to others. Finally, I hate the faces of others who have pity on me, so I always try to make them laugh and embarrassing myself to make them happy. To wrap this up I am the 17 year old kid with a sad background with a passion to give smiles.
