222 Words1 Pages
I started out the summer working at McDonalds. When about two or three weeks went by, I had to go to Summer School. My family and I went tubing and drove around on a jet ski at cedar shore. I also went fishing on most of my off days and almost every Friday. When school ended and Summer School was going to start I had to retake an English course. At McDonalds I usually had to work either the day or night shifts. Whenever I would work day shifts I would have to come in at 10 to 5 and on night shifts I would come in at 5 and work past midnight. My family and I went to chamberlain to take out our jet ski to go tubing. When we went tubing we usually went south of cedar shore about four or five miles. I usually went fishing on my family farm north

I used to sing along with him dreaming that one day I would be able to sing just like the singers on the albums my uncle would play to. As time went on, my mother met a man that she felt was a good man.

I reached out to my high school’s summer school program last summer and volunteered as a tutor for the majority of the summer. There, I tutored in various subjects in math to summer school students, helping a lot of students pass their required coursework. I continued my tutoring agenda by helping ELL students learn English that very summer at a Minneapolis high school. Called the Summer Academy, the summer school program was designed to help new immigrant students receive an academic boost before the school year began. I was able to ease the learning process by helping several students by conversing in a language they were fluent in, Somali.

In the duration of my middle school years, I maintained excellent grades, except I had just one issue that held me back from a satisfying life. That issue was the fact that friends came very hard to me in my middle school years. Before my struggles at my middle school, Trafton, I had a very productive social life in the Elementary school I attended, Roberts Elementary. Here, it was very easy to make friends and have a great social life, since no hard work was required as a kid. Middle school, however, was a great challenge for me.
