Here’s the deal: I ended up taking AP Music Theory over Organic Chemistry my senior year of high school. Did people tell me that was wrong to do because I want a career involving chemistry? Yes. Do I regret it? Absolutely not.
Sophomore year was a strenuous year for me. Everything was just going off track. It was my first year in a new school, and my mom lost her job a couple months prior. Being at a new school made it suitable to have the same clothes from last year. Trying to make new friends when everyone already knew each other was a laborious task.
Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry. Because of my passion for healthcare, I decided to to attend Health Sciences High. There, I was given the best opportunities, such as, medical internships and college health courses. My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult.
Let’s move on. Moving to high school, this is where it becomes permanent. Between the ages of 13-17 I had figured out for certain who I was and what I wanted to become. So I did it. The first two years were a bit rocky, I’ll be honest.
Attending college right after high school or waiting to attend has no right or wrong answer. It would depend on the individual situation. It not only will have to do with some may not being academically prepared to attend college but not having the financial resources necessary to enroll. I went to college right away, my husband worked for about ten years out of high school before deciding to attend college. If you can transition well to a college environment right out of high school, then that might be the path for you.

By Senior year of high school, not many can say they have held the highest honors possible since kindergarten and genuinely worked for it too. In fact, most people scoff, deem it an overachiever 's status to do so, as if it is unthinkable or vaguely impossible. However, as a self-proclaimed overachiever I can proudly add myself to the esteemed honorable list. This accomplishment of mine did not come easily and if it had not been for one accomplished “failure” in Kindergarten, it may have never happened at all. How can one day of kindergarten possibly impact the rest of my academic life?
The transition from Primary school to Post-Primary school is a difficult time for anyone involved. It is one of the most drastic changes that students will ever encounter in the educational career. The transition is typically filled with anticipation and anxiety about homework, teachers, peers, academic rigor, school rules, getting lost, and many more factors. For the typical student, it is a whirlwind of emotion and anxiety. For students with special needs, these worries become even more prominent for the pupils and their parents.
High school is a time for big decisions. It is a time to find out who you are and who you will become. In these 4 years everyone was trying to have a voice in my life. My parents wanted me to be successful and a good person, my teachers wanted me to get good grades and enjoy their classes, my friends wanted me to try things with them and have fun, and my pastor wanted me to be a person that shared Gods love. So many different people wanting so many different things

Transitioning from high school to college was a big difference. Materials from high school was provided to all students free of charge. Students only needed to buy materials they needed; pens, pencils, notebooks, etc. While in college you're responsible for everything, either you're living on campus or not, it was your responsibility for all materials. I knew college was going to be expensive, but I never realized a simple history book would cost me $250, without tax.
If you really knew me, you would know I’m an honest individual, so I’m going to say what’s on my mind and not hold back. The life of a high schooler is rough. Depressing, distressing and straight-up woeful. It is often said the time spent in high school is the greatest time of someone’s life. I’m four years into the high school experience, and I still can’t comprehend that statement considering all the fatigue and stress involved.
Growing up as a child my parents and I would move frequently every month because of my dad’s job. Every month I would meet many kids throughout the apartments we used to live in. Building a friendship with those kids and then not being able to see them again was very hard for me in my childhood. The toughest thing was not being able to see my dad very often because of his long nights working.
My high school experience was a long, frustrating learning experience. I didn’t know what to expect, or what I was getting myself into. Nobody gave me the tools to understand the main focus of each year. I am going to give you tips and advice on how to succeed in high school. I will discuss 9-12th grade along with what to expect each year.
High school grows you into the person you are. I have great memories, good and bad, some learning experiences and some that I’ll take with me the rest of my life. My high school experience has influenced my development as a person inside and outside of the class by making me more independent, choosing friends wisely and teachers motivating me to attend college and accomplish goals I have set for myself. I have gained my independence slowly throughout high school. The importance of being independent is being secure with who you are and what you believe in.
