Narrative

This narrative explains my high school life so far, and my next two years to come. In high school i became more academically aware, but my favorite part of all i have become more aware of my society. I thought when i was in middle school i was going too a whole lot of fun and drama was only going to be a little bit of weight on my shoulders. I was completely wrong though, my perspective of high school changed a lot after being here for two years i've been here.

    Although i have many dislikes about high school, i have one specific like. I am only a sophomore in this school and already i have learned how to become a part of my school community. I am the type of person who loves to do things for others and i love volunteering inside and outside of school. Since i was 14 years old i have been volunteering at Sea View Nursing Home / Rehabilitation Center. The first day i started to volunteer i fell in love with it. When i began high school i started to become more attached to doing community service.

    When i began my sophomore year i wanted to join the basketball team. I had been playing for so many years, i wasn't that good of player, i just loved the game. I loved being active and interacting with my friends. When i tried out for the basketball team , i didn't make it. I was upset because i wanted too be on the team so badly. My coach came up to me and told me that she appreciated that i came too every tryout that they had, and she wanted too know if i would be the manager of the team. Although i didn't make it as a player on the team, i was still part of the team and that made me the happiest of all.

    Like i said, i love doing things for others, so if being the manager of my basketball team meant being their for all my friends on the team and doing what i could for my coach, i was happy. I stayed with my team the whole year, i went too every single practice, and my coach was nice enough too let me practice with my team. I was their at every game, doing the book for my coach and helping them out in every way. Being a part of this school and my basketball team tought me so much. I thought in the beginning i was going to hate being the manager because deep down i wanted to be the player. My mind soon changed after being at a few practices i saw how being a part of the team is like having a second family away from home.
