Personal Experience: A Life Changing Experience In High School

766 Words4 Pages

Throughout my high school years I’ve meet new people and made new friends. High school has been a life changing experience with what matters most. Throughout my years of high school I’ve learned that school can be easy or hard depending on how you spend your time.
My freshman year was full of laughter and memorable moments spent with friends. That was the year I experienced the big campus at Kathleen High School. I remember for the first month I was nervous and shy in class. I made friends and met a lot of people once I broke out of that shyness. I learned that everyone isn’t your friend and they might not always have the best intentions for you. I was a good student and always did my work in class and tried to stay ahead when dealing with school. Unfortunately l I started hanging around the wrong people who liked to do the complete opposite of what I had been doing. Hanging with these so called friends I found myself skipping class and leaving campus more often. I started picking up bad habits early in my high school career. The innocence left my eyes and I started viewing things differently. Being on time for school did not really matter, nor did completing my assignments in class.

    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.
