My Life in the 3rd Person by Ibrahim Barry

Once upon a time in a not very remote place lived a boy named Ibrahim. He had almost failed to meet the requirements to graduate high school. In his last year of high school most students got the feeling of finally leaving high school, that they forgot they might have a little bit of improvements to do in their class grades and just start being lazy to do the work. Ibrahim was one in a many students in that category.

Ibrahim was easygoing in his last year of high school. He had passed all the major requirement which are the regents and also had good grades in all of his classes. So he decided since it was his last year in high school he should cut some classes and maybe it would not affect his grade a lot. During economics class the gym would be open. So he skipped during  economics class and  kept it going for about two weeks. He noticed his economics class grades decreased suddenly to a point of falling the class. So he checked and found out he had missed five home work assignments, two quizzes, and one class test. He started to get worried that with this sudden decrease of his grades he would not be able to graduate high school.

With the sudden decrease of his grades in mind, Ibrahim stopped skipping classes and stayed after school every day to make up for his lost grades. When staying after school, he saw some of his friends who are in the same position as him. He worked with them and they all improved their grades in no time. Two months passed and graduation was finally here. Ibrahim could not believe that a while ago he was in the verge of not graduating and now he is graduating. It was a long time coming but it had finally come.

 

 

I Remember-Ibrahim

I remember the day i decided to ride a bike with no training wheels and ended up getting a scar on my chin.

I remember running half naked in the rain.

I remember in gym class not being picked to played basketball with my classmates because i was the shortest boy in class.

I remember one hot summer we went to the beach and i got a star fish stuck on my leg.

I remember not sleeping through my first night camping because i was scared that something is coming to get us.

I remember coming to my home with my friend wile my cousin taking a shower. So since he did not know that we were in the house we decided to scare him. We turned off all the lights in the house except the one in the bathroom. Banged at the bathroom door and acted like we were robbers. He got so scared and had his phone in with him and called the police. Then we told him it was me and my friend and he told us that he called the police already. My friend and i got so scared that we were going to get arrested for it. The police came we told them what happened and they told us to never do it again and they left.

I remember the first time cutting class. I was sitting in the stairs with my friends, and one of the staff of the school cough us and we had serve a two hours detention.

I remember that hot teacher that all the boys in class liked and would always pay attention in her class.

I remember my first day of college was totally boring.

I remember when we learned Spanish dance for a project and i was horrible at it.
