Personal Narrative: The Seneca High School Community

913 Words4 Pages

You drive into the parking lot, a wide field to your right, and you lay your eyes on the forest green roof. Students and potential are flowing through the doors like water through a floodgate. Coffee cups in hand, the drowsy students begin to perk up as they make eye contact with their peers. This is the Seneca High School Community. You finish paying for your ticket and walk into the bleachers for a Friday night football game. Your eyes fall on the fan section called “The Bird’s Nest” and see the massive crowd of painted faces and FatHeads of players staring back at you. The Bird’s Nest was full of everything- eager students, countless tutus, and an extensive feeling of pride. This is the Seneca High School Community. You stroll down the main C hallway downstairs while the students are in various classes. Students solving problems, stopping to assist their peers, and speaking Spanish are all throughout different classrooms. This is the Seneca High School Community. …show more content…

Doors are held while smiles are exchanged despite the early hour. I smile at a student I have never seen before as we walk through the doors together. For the past 67 school days, I have shared a smile with a different student before the first period bell rings. Another student comes along after me, but they do not smile or hold the door for their peers.

As everyone enters through the same doors, memories from middle school are reminisced as the bonds of friendship strengthen. Expressions of how tired they are are exchanged with chuckles and sighs. The collection of Seneca students who are kind enough to smile or hold doors radiate with a sense of belonging. Even at this early hour, the Seneca High School Community shares experiences and enhances its

Little kids always want to make it to the pros, as they get older they narrow it down into smaller goals. I will never know what it’s like to go to a small town school; I graduated with a class of over 500. In this school of approximately 2,000 students, I can only imagine the pressure that was put on our football team when their season started to become a winning one. Odessa is a small town located in western Texas, home of the Permian Panthers. The Permian Panthers are only a high school football team, but the way the town acts you would think they were all going to receive major scholarships.

In the fall of my eighth grade year, I was sworn in to NJHS, an event with as much gusto and bravado as can be expected of a middle school celebration. For the first time, I faced a new frontier. While others slaved over the idea of mandatory community service, my stomach clenched at the thought of new people. Interacting with strangers? I came close to

“Darn, surrounded by all of these nice homes and communities, this High School should be really nice,” is what I thought once I got to the North Druid Hills Rd and North Cliff Valley Way intersection. In front of me all that I could see was vibrant communities that displayed their affiliation with the Lenox area, which is a very rich area. Making a left onto North Druid Hills Road, I continued to see beautiful homes on my right and my left I began to see the campus of Cross Keys High School. Due to the tons of leaves that had fallen, the bare trees that occupied the front of the campus, and the splotchy patches of grass, viewing the Cross Keys campus was not as striking to the eye as was the view of the surrounding homes. Having such a bare

Since college was never part of my plans I never took an SAT or ACT.

The girls look at each other with a mutual feeling of sadness knowing exactly why no one is there. Just then they hear a whistle from outside and it’s like salt in a wound. Each player knows at that moment, the student body of our high school is outside in the cold. They are sitting in the bitter stands watching the football team, who never win or barely ever get a touchdown, play.

We were rushing out of the room as fast as we could; the alarm was set to go off in just two minutes. The light switch was on the opposite side of the door so we had to run through the darkened room before it turned eleven. We finally made it out of the building, with two minutes to spare. It was that night that I learned how important it was to honor a commitment. Earlier that week, my mom, the director of the food pantry, order 1600 pounds of food.

During the summer of 2015, I drove to Lipscomb University’s campus with my mandatory khaki shorts and a positive attitude. I knew it was an honor that I was given the chance to attend Volunteer Girls State, but I had no idea to what extent. I grab my bags, walk to registration, and instantaneously get fixed inside a cloud of smiles, greetings, and positivity. It was almost overwhelming just how cheerful the atmosphere was, but it was tremendously refreshing. I told my mom goodbye and glanced over my busy itinerary with my roommate just before heading to the first of many Davis City meetings.
