Junior year. Some might say this is the most important year of high school. You start seriously thinking about college, you try to keep all your grades up, you take the ACT, and somehow you try to keep a social life. However, those challenges were nothing compared to what I had to deal with my junior year. In the beginning of September I dislocated my kneecap in weightlifting. We were warming up for box jumps that day and I did a lunge and that was the end of that. I remember hearing a pop and looking around thinking that that pop did not sound good at all and then I looked down and realized that it was me and my kneecap was on the side of my knee. I tried to move but I could not so I instantly fell to the ground. After the adrenalin stopped …show more content…
I remember thinking how great of friends they were and I was so lucky to have them. As it turns out, I was very wrong. In december, I got into a huge fight with one of my best friends in our group and everyone turned on me. Immediately, I was shunned from the group, no one would talk to me, and everyone gave me dirty looks in the hallway at school. Eventually, this lead to rumors flying around school about me and some of the girls even got an entire class to talk about me. When I heard this I was devastated, I could not understand how my best friends could do this to me. That was the day that I hit my lowest point in life, I cried on the bathroom floor during 7th hour. When I got home from school I could not even get any words out to my mom before I started crying to her about my day. I did not do anything for weeks, I did not want to go to school anymore, I begged my mom to let me switch schools, but she always said no. I am glad she said no though, because I would have been taught to run away from my problems instead of facing them. Junior year was the toughest year I have been through, but it has taught me to stay strong and things will always get

Homeroom Reflection Junior year I have grown as a student this semester by watching the mala movie. This has helped me grow as a student because it showed me how just one voice can change so much in a community. From this experience I learned how Mala was an ordinary girl but who ones spoke up for what she believed was right for her community and the people all around her. After she started to change her community on a positive way for example, have more schools so students can have an education and making sure girls were able to attend school more often. Therefore, when she spoke up for what she thought was right and changed people 's life there was some who didn 't appreciate what she was doing so decided to shot her and ended up shooting her on her forehead.
My Freshman year was the best year ever! I got to be in marching band, FFA, and I got a tremendous academic placing. I definitely did a great job this year compared to last year. I broke out of my comfort zone and worked my hardest to get a high GPA, and join some different clubs. I met new friends and even passed driver 's ed.
Junior year was a bit challenging for me. It was not challenging because of the work, but I joined a career program. I had to keep up with both of my schools. For me to be successful with so many things going on, I had to stay organized and think ahead. My success was that I kept all my grades above a C+.
When looking overall at Junior year, you view your grades and consider how you probably had a lot of pressure on you and your classes were harder than you expected going into it. My Junior year revolved around those ideas while taking a turning spin when my cousin passed away. Losing him was like losing the other half of not only myself, but my family. After the accident, we realized that he was our backbone. Focusing throughout school while the memories of that day streaming through my mind were never untroubled when trying to get through junior year.
All of my training is about to pay off, graduation. Senior year has been going great. I have a great circle of friends who I admire and look up to. I am working hard and staying focused on the finish line of high school. This year, more than I was junior year, I have been really trying to focus on myself and figuring out who I am and who I want to become.
It was crazy for me to think that I just started my sophomore year and I applied to a different school for my junior year. The spring of my sophomore year I received an email from Penta Career Center saying I was accepted into Construction Electricity Program. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. When my junior year started everything was new to me; the school, people, and Electricity.
Couple days later, I finally realized I was losing my best friend. I thought to myself of all the good times together, all the laughs we had, the pranks we pulled. I remembered all the times where he struck up for me. Then I realized this is his last year.
Undergraduate school is a short-period of self-discovery. In that, I believe my involvement in new activities, improvement as an actress, as well as the enhancement of my faith is valuable. Undergraduate school should not only create a meaningful life but also enhance my confidence in my continuation onto graduate school. Under the lights, my confidence has slowly built itself. Being an actress, I have the ability to keep my emotions under control and have almost mastered the skill of improvisation.
I was friends with the cool kids and the not so cool kids too. After everyone got used to me and i waasnt so “new” i noticed people werent being as friendly to me. I had one kid come up with a rap about how i was ugly, fat and had huge buck teeth. I had a group of girls exclude me from every party, sleepover and game they played. I was scared to play sports for years and when i finally did, the coaches never put me in or helped me just because their daughters didn’t
Last year, my junior year, was exciting for me because back then I knew that I was literally one year away from being a senior, but I also faced some very difficult challenges. One of the biggest challenges that I had faced last year was being kicked out of my first high school, Villa Angela- St. Joseph, for reasons that I feft were not as serious as the things other people were doing, but in reality, it was not about anyone else, it was about me. I was in trouble. I had to accept and own up to the responsibility and consequences of my actions.
Right when I walked in I saw my friends Miranda,Naomi,and Jeffery came and gave me a big hug. They all started talking at the same time what they did over the summer and “I said” y'all need to talk all at once,so they just stopped I was like ok miranda you go first. She was tell me how she never got in trouble with her mom because last year she was always in trouble with her mom. Then naomi told me how she loved to be helping her family do things like cook and even clean. I was like what is wrong with her,until jeffery rudely interrupted her well unlike her I did something really interesting.
Doing my seventh grade year I found out that one of my best friend was actually my dad other child.. We tried out for volleyball and made it. We did volleyball to keep from going home and dealing with our family. After volleyball season was over, we stayed in trouble. I was suspended from school three times; the TOR room was like my classes.
I eventually told my friends what was happening, it had been months since I had last spoke to them and the only thing I could say to them out loud was “I'm sorry”. Nearing the end of the school year there was one last unit in the English curriculum, a poetry slam. I knew immediately what I had to do, I asked my friend if she'd like to do a partner poem. She without hesitation said yes and we wrote the poem in one night.
One of the hardest years of my life would have to be my freshman year in high school. It was a big change if scenery and the people around me treated me as a lesser being. I was the only freshman that qualified for the varsity basketball team and the upperclassman treated me as such. Every day I had to prove myself to my older teammates that I deserved a spot on the team, but it was extremely difficult.
