It was a way to prioritize my assignments. During the week I was focused on my classes for state and on the weekend I had had to work on my class for city. So I felt like I had no free time because once I was done with one assignment I had to start another one. I felt like I already knew what my antecedents were.

I had to be told things over again, my room stayed junky and back talked my mom.

I had the fantastic opportunity to participate in a residential high school, the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, and the first year I had attended this school was my junior year.

But my junior year is when I had experienced this change into my adult life and when I had left behind my childhood.

Students often have to sparknote to fathom the difficult text assigned in their English classes; however, George Orwell’s novel 1984 protrudes fairly simple to understand.

For instance, Shakespeare’s play Hamlet contains sentences such as “'Tis bitter cold, And I am sick at heart.”
