Personal Narrative: Changing My High School Career

1109 Words5 Pages

I feel as though I have changed a lot throughout my high school career so far. I have made new friends, drifted away from others, modified the career path I want to go on, and most importantly I have become closer to myself and have started to do things I feel are best for me. So much has changed in just half of my career at this school and I am very excited to see where the next two years take me. I can’t even imagine where else I will go in life but I will try my best to make it great. I have many amazing people in my life that push me to do what they know I can and want me to do what makes me happy. My family is my main support system and I am very thankful for that.

My critical thinking skills have definitely improved since I started highschool and sometimes I even find myself looking at things I read on my own from a different perspective or even looking up what the author’s life was like in order to find possible connections between their life and their writing. I also really enjoy class discussions because then I can get input from other people in the class and hear perspectives I never would have thought of on my own. I think these things have also made me become more self aware because I can compare my opinion and thought process to that of others in order to find patterns in my own thoughts and feelings to determine who I think I am. From my classmates this year I expect different points of view on topics and I hope nobody is afraid to share their opinion because the best thing about an opinion is that you can’t be wrong! I also expect my classmates to respect each other's opinions even if they may not agree. As for Mr. Peters, I really enjoyed freshman year in his class and love how he keeps things exciting through even the subjects that don’t interest me and how he is always willing to help and truly cares about each student’s individual success. As long as he keeps that up, it is going to be a great

    The lunch bell rang loudly in my ear as I packed up my materials from math class. As soon as Mrs. Millie released our class, I raced everyone else in our grade to my locker so I wouldn’t have to wait in the back. I quickly entered the combination into my lock, snatched my lunch box from the top shelf and met up with Whitney by the cafeteria doors to get a good table that wasn’t in the back corner where we normally sat. “So, how have you been since...

    The transition from middle school to high school is what shaped me the most and this adjustment has changed me in both good and bad ways. As a freshman, I enrolled in a private school, called Bridgemont High School. It was a very small school and did not have the same help as the public schools offered. I didn 't have an ELD class and classes providing extra help were limited. Eld means einglish language development, these classes are classes to help develop your english speaking skills even though i can speak english i had poor grammar.

    My English grade went up from 1s and 2s. My overall grade went up to a 2.5. Additionally, in my school, we have a class called Crew. It’s one teacher with fifteen kids or less, and she helps us with the grades and communicate with the group so that you became comfortable in the group, and she was my crew leader. Looking back, I realized that if i had started high school with the same mentality that I ended it with, I would be more successful now and have much more options for my future.

    If I were the person that I used to be back in high school, or even directly after high school, I would fail these classes with straight “F”s. The reason is not because I was not smart enough, but because I was not willing to put in the effort, concentration, and dedication needed to get a good grade. This is hard work! Good thing I decided to grow up a bit in the past 14 years so I take it seriously.
