I soon realized that highschool is not some teenage dream. My freshmen year 4 people at my school were either killed or died. One of those people was someone
High school is one of the greatest pivotal times in a human's life. It is where young adults are able to form their own opinions on the world, find activities they are passionate about, and learn to create fruitful relationships with their peers and teachers. However, I did not initially view high school as a period of time for growth and development. Instead, I saw it simply as another task to complete before I entered the real world. I did not take advantage of all the opportunities around me and I began to find school to be institutionalized or meaningless.
What do you think of when you think high school? For many people, the words “high school” make their stomach churn, others automatically smile, and for the rest of us we have mixed feelings about it. For me, my high school years were the years I felt more like an outsider than ever. So many of my high school days were spent obsessing over how I felt like I failed to fit in. Every night I would think about what I could do to fit in.
WHO AM I Over my sophomore year of high school I personally have evolved into a different person than who I was freshman and the beginning of sophomore year. Over the year I have obtained many new qualities some are good and some are bad that is just a part of life you sometimes have to overcome bad things in life. I have obtained the strength and will like Hester Prynne, but I also feel like I have to prove myself against my fellow classmates and friends like Collins . I also feel as if I have obtained being patriot like Brutus as I try to back everything I say up and standing up for what I believe in.
Or even made the High School transition a little rough and scary? Some may believe so, then again some may have been ready. From the first hand accounts of this year 's incoming freshman it can be said without a doubt, that they have had a smooth transition. Although it may have been hard, but it was an overall smooth one. All in all, the High School transition is different for everyone.
High school prepared me by being able to attend dual enrollment, which was one of the great thing my school had to offer to help advanced student academically. It helped me tremendously being able to associate myself with college level students and see things from their point of view. I also took an online class that was blackboard. I’m grateful for all the help and preparation I had before I
I have grown up and matured in more ways than one since my first day. I have learned everything between new study habits, learning to get to school early so you can park without being late to class, and how to conduct myself in a college atmosphere. I learned that taking that extra step is always necessary and sometimes you need to make sacrifices. While some might say I gave up the "high school experience", I would make this choice again because it helped mold me into the person I am today and is guiding me in the right direction to a prosperous
When I entered middle school, I changed in many different ways. It changed my attitude, who I talked to, and even what I ate. Back in elementary school, I used to bring my lunch to school everyday. I did because the food there was intolerable. Here in middle school, the food is amazing.
High school has impacted my life in so many ways. High School taught me so many things, from personal relationships to creating a relationship with my education. As a freshman, I made a huge amount of mistakes and I regret doing foolish things, but I’ve realized, I was only maturing into the young adult I am today. Freshman year, I was out of focus and I was only trying to find myself. I would also prioritize other things and ignore my parent’s advice, where they would tell me to focus in school and give it my full attention.
High school can be a ton of fun getting to see old friends and making new ones. In addition to relationships in high school you also have the opportunity to participate in activities like sports and clubs. The time you spend in high school can potentially be the best be some of the best moments of your life, but it is important to remember why you are in school. It is paramount that all people attend high school because it teaches you valuable life lessons as well as gives you about knowledge that you will later utilize in life.
My maturity level from now to when I first started high school has changed because I have grown from my experiences, bettered myself, and become more a sociable and open person. This has also affected me because I have improved academically as well. I have become more of an independent and responsible person, which I know can be seen through my work ethic because I put my time and effort in to making sure I know the material that I am learning and my work ethic also reflects that. I, also, began to challenge myself academically through taking AP and honors
Stop whatever you are doing right now. Think to yourself,are your paradigms benefiting you in a way that they will help you in the long run, or are they hurting you? Nearly five years ago, I attended a school that fed students students stereotypes about other schools, races,and religions. I was taught that public school was like an asylum, filled to the rim with lunatics, gangsters, and bullies. At that school, I was picked on daily, There wasn't a day I didn't come home crying.
In some opinions that would be a good thing considering high school I was a totally different person. When I walked into my freshman year of high school I was a nervous wreck. Once I started to get the hang of the whole high school experience, my mom picked me up in tears and from that day forward my life has completely changed. My mom had left my dad and no one had seen it coming including myself. The next few months
The high school that I was in gave me an interesting experience. I was able to learn and experience different lessons with in my high school. Three of those life lessons that I went through are when my school was placed on lockdown, another experience is a club that I joined which helped really mature. Finally the other experience I faced in high school was that some of my friends that I had wanted me to join them in some bad situations but I kept myself out of those situations.
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.
