I usually hate waking up early for school. I’m probably one of the young writers on this website that still goes to high school but that’s not important. What is important is that I’m not really hating this morning as much. Why? Because my promised day has come, It’s the day I go to my first Gay-straight Alliance leadership summit. Yesterday I spent my time freaking out trying to get everyone to turn in their signed field trip forms. It’s my big day and I still have some stressing to do because I need to get someone to turn in their form. I ask my mom to drive me to school today, I don’t want to risk coming late because of my bus driver. The ride to school is a blur, all I care about is getting to school, screw the small talk. I’m finally at …show more content…

Our bus isn’t packed we’ve got one other GSA with us, I don’t talk to any of them, sadly I am a bit shallow and there aren’t any cute boys. The ride is short and soon we arrive at SunServe. I’m deathly afraid, so many people congregated in one place makes me nervous but I’ve got people I know with me so it’s going to be fine. The rest of this goes on in an incredibly boring fashion, they have a few cool guest speakers. Then we have breakout sessions, my first session is a discussion on what gender is, surprisingly I went to go get tested for HIV. While waiting I met a lesbian and another fellow gay, we we’re fast friends, the topic of choice was actually how we came to get numbers off the opposite sex. She gave me her kik and shortly after that I decided to leave and go back to my session. The next session is about my rights as a gay student, I actually found this part to be very enlightening and figured out what a gender neutral bathroom is. For such a long time I never knew and from the sounds of it, it seemed like trans-teens just go use the staff bathroom, no qualms on this

Surreptitiously and quietly, the posted sentries at the main entrance leading to the Dweller city of New Hope maintained their duties guarding it, keeping watch over any potential threats that may arise from beyond the entrance at any time. From the balcony that stood directly above the steel gates of the main entrance, the Dweller city guard had managed to place a small barrier of sandbags with an additional sentry gun turret, consisting of twin mounted MG42 machine guns. Even further behind the sandbags and sentry turret emplacement was a table, with two G43 semi-automatic rifles leaning on the table. Seated around the table, there were three Dwellers: two Dwellers who were part of New Hope’s city guard, and the Silent Orphan, the leader

In her essay “Me, My Sleep, And I”, writer Priscilla Srikanth argues that high schools should start later in the morning to ensure that students are well rested, energized, and focused during the school day. She accomplishes this by utilizing rhetorical questions and an anecdote that allow the reader to reflect on their past experiences with the idea of a late start, a logical fallacy that encourages the reader to view the situation from the writer’s perspective, and an appeal to logos to further strengthen her argument. Leading into her essay with rhetorical questions, Srikanth urges the reader to ponder about times that they have felt like never leaving their cozy bed. In this way, the writer creates a sense of likeness between herself and the reader. By appealing to ethos through an anecdote, she shows the reader that she too has experienced the struggle of getting up every morning.

The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is one of the most difficult but unforgettable things a student must do in his adolescence.

Your Reflection I am the reflection of you, while you look at me, you see you. Nevertheless, I am considered just another decoration, even though people spend ages staring at me. I rest upon a seemingly firm and rustic yellow concrete wall in your bathroom at Lindbergh High School. Ordinarily, I have a direct view of the faded golden colored stalls, the tens of faucets, and even further, the same concrete walls I am screwed upon. I notice the drips of the drizzling water from the discolored faucets.

The most exciting time to live in Vermont is mid-February. This is the time when one is given the privilege of a 30-minute walk to school in sub-zero temperatures, with a 30-minute trudge home in the dark after a long day. It’s been four months since winter began, and it’ll be two more until it’s over. The firewood is being rationed to keep the house at a barely livable temperature, a steamy 50 degrees, and colds are so rampant that people lose half their body weight in phlegm each day. Yet, however dull Vermont may seem to students and teachers as they wrap themselves in layer after layer of flannel, make no mistake, today is the beginning of an era.

what if you can’t do anything about it? I would not like someone to walk in who's the opposite sex, but its not just anyone coming in this person is transgender and has the same permission as you to be in those rooms. Does any of that change any opinions of yours or do you still believe the opposite sex shouldn't be there? I would not enjoy this experience happening. In the name of anti-bullying, Safe Schools are urged to let boys who believe in their mind they are a girl to use the girls’ toilets, change facilities and even sleeping quarters on school camps.
