Getting to school in the morning is becoming harder as the weather keeps getting warmer. The traffic going towards New York City as well as people traveling in the NJ Turnpike increases more as the days keep getting us close to vacations and summer time. Since I live in Kearny NJ I need to take the NJ Turnpike to get to school. The first 2 month of commute it usually took me around 10-15 minutes to get to school. Instead of taken me 10-15 minutes nowadays it takes me around 20-25 minutes ;for this reason the last week I have arrived to school a little late. Favio Miranda #2

Senior year came along and I got to comfortable I was coming in half a day; it was helping me at the time but not in the long run. As a result at the end of the year I had a meeting with my principal about me being late constantly. I got along with him so he gave me a break because I was a senior. Otherwise I would have failed my senior year. I also knew he didn’t want me in the school for another year especially over me being late.

Every morning from Monday-Friday, my alarm goes off at 7:15am. For this reason, I am always tired and cranky in the morning. In addition, my father is always in the bathroom before me, so I just end up eating something quick for breakfast. By the way, cooking breakfast in the morning isn't the easiest thing to do, especially when time is against me. For the most part, every morning is a hassle, but i manage to get through it. Also, I never get to class late, so I'm actually pretty proud of that.

Well, getting to school in the morning is always tiring. For instance, I sleep very late at night so my body and mind urgently require the bed.

After, I decide on what to wear for the day I gather all my books needed and head out for school. What does ruin my morning having to return home for something I had forgotten all in result for me sleeping late at night.

ReplyDeleteWomen looking for frustrated looking for love, choosing life partner is one the most important decisions they may ever make. When finding the men who’ll be beside them every day, it impacts every aspect of their life so, when women who approach finding their soul mate with little concern about its true importance, I feel overwhelming frustration. Women meet and date perfectly good men, men who want to be in committed relationship, but then they treat these men as if they were nothing special. As if was plenty more where they can from. They make the same mistakes with men over again and get the same results. Women are very diversion.
