Creative Writing
Master/Disaster Pieces
The point of this project was to write about a memorable time in our lives during high school. I chose to write about a crush I had when I was a sophomore. I wrote about it because being a senior now, I wanted to reflect on how different I felt about interacting with seniors when I was younger versus how I feel now. Here is a link to my story. There is an excerpt from my story below.
"Tuesday morning I walked into class, dressed in my favorite black jeans and a business blue and white pinstriped button down shirt. Today was the day. Because of the additions to our class, there was one desk table in the center of the room, where one of my friends was already seated. Knowing that she was friends with the other senior that joined our class, I sat by her. When he strolled in late, as expected, he sat across from his friend. What was unexpected, was that he pulled up his chair right next to me. I didn’t physically see this because my head was turned toward the board, again, averting his paralyzing gaze, but I heard it all. I took a deep breath and casually straightened my posture. Here we go."
