The Hero- Me Bro (insert laughing emoji)

feared journey I like to call high school.

boring activities. Johnny is about ready
to leave high school and just about
ready to go to college.
The Mentor- James Oh
Mr. Oh is my english teacher at school. He’s the only person
I’ve actually learned something from and i'm not just talking
about parallelism or correct punctuation but real life lessons
that nobody has ever taught me before. He is also the person
that showed me how college is gonna be like and the
obstacles I will face going there. This man that I have gotten
to meet has made me become the “man” I am today, he’s
mentored me throughout high school and only because he
would like the best in me.
Hunting Group of Companions
I came to ASGL not knowing
anyone. Soon enough… I would
make friendships that I will
cherish for the rest of my life. The
people in the picture on the right
aren’t just my friends but my
family and without them by my
side I would probably more of a
mess than I am already.
The Shadow- My Laziness

person in the world, I just hate doing
my work. I will have face this devil, I
must stop being lazy and do my
work.
