What year out of the four years of high school do you think is the most important to you? For me at first I was looking at it thinking all four years of high school is very important to me, but when I really thought about it, although I am only a freshman, I personally believe Freshman year may be the most challenging year of high school for some teenagers. There are many factors on why ninth grade can drop you as quick as a dime or gradually move you on so you can appreciate the next three years of high school.

As in, do students prefer working independently or do they expect heavy assistance from parents or teachers to accomplish the smallest tasks? This could be a huge aspect on why/how you can fail ninth grade and know nothing, you got taught by any of your teachers. Some students prefer to work independently, which there is nothing wrong with that because I, myself, love to work independently on anything to deal with school- homework, projects, and and school work. On the other hand, there are some students that don't work independently and don't work with others. These types of people will usually fail because if you're not working by yourself or not working with a team, then who are you working with? The part I don't like seeing is when students start to depend on friends, teachers, or parents to start to do their classwork or homework for them. This habit will only get worse and not benefit you in the outrun for nothing. Students that start to train their brain to be lazy and not want to do something will not get anywhere and will slowly go downhill. One thing I would like to suggest to anyone who is slowly getting lazy is do your best to stay above water because in the outcome you will be thankful you did your best and worked your
High school. It's a scary thought. Being prepared for things can be hard. Especially the changes that happened within one's identity. Imagine something terrible happened the summer before high school.
Korbey (2015) stated, the transition from middle school to high school is a big one, perhaps bigger than appeared at first blush. Ninth grade is difficult because it tells whether students graduate or not. When students move into high school it's so different. Willens,( 2013 ) When students start over they start to forget things. Ninth grade is the most important year because it tells if students graduate.
In my four years of high school, I have been very active in everything the school has to offer. I have filled up my after school hours playing sports, performing in plays and choral concerts, and working at the school to help teach the younger generations Language Arts. During my summers, I volunteer at summer school to assist in the math classes for middle school and high schoolers while I also have a job being a lifeguard. Basketball, softball, and golf are the sports that I’ve played over my high school career. I’ve participated in four years of basketball and softball, and three years in golf.
I was born In Laredo TX, on July 19,2001. And when I was born I started to attend Malakoff elementary here In Laredo ,TX. When I was In Kinder thru First. Then my parents did’t like the fact they would talk to me in Spanish so my parents took me out of that school.
High School Graduation The beginning of the Highs School year,was a new experience for me,because of begin alone in the school without knowing nobody, not knowing the language and have zero knowledge of the academic level i need it to have in order to graduate, on the mid senior year of high school,i got a call from the counselor Mr.Calume,he told me that, in order to graduate i need it to pass 4 states exams that can be only due 2 times per year semester,and i was in my last semester of high school,so the chances of me passing those test were low for me.

Entering Junior year, you are told that it will be the hardest and paramount year of your high school
Despite the fact that about 26 percent of U.S schools have changed to year-round schedules, is having year-round school really the best choice? Sure, 15 day vacations every 45 days may seem interesting, but what about good old two month two week(ish) summer break? I think there shouldn’t be year round school. Whether or not there should be year-round school is an important question.
According to studies, only 10-15% of people retain the information that they learned in the previous year of school. Students have an increase in their stress levels when they feel as if they don’t know what they are learning or don’t remember what they learned. Many kids lose valuable information through long summer breaks. Year-round schooling is the apex of the educational timeline. Schools should be converted to a year-round calendar due to the many positive effects it has for students.
For example, in high school as a teenager in they expect for their new students to act like young adults. Unlike middle school where teachers hold your hand and walk through everything high school is not like that. In high school, most teachers are not going to beg their students for them to turn in work that is missing or late. I learned first-hand last year I was a bit slacking in my science grades, missing work, Forgetting makeup work. My teacher never reminded me or told me multiple times to do my work.
The transition from Middle School to High School is extremely different on many levels. Many people that have already made their transition describe their Middle School experience as demanding and challenging. Be aware that in High School, you are given more freedom and opportunities. The size of the school is changed drastically. You need to come to the reality that you are surrounded by peoples who are four years older than you, adults.
Freshman year, what an awkward time in my life coming out of middle school with my poor grades I promised myself and my parents I was going to succeed while in high school. Did I though? My grades for sure improved but I still was not putting in as much effort as I should have been. I struggled to be able to communicate with all these new faces and in a completely new school but even outside of school struggled to talk to new people.
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.
The past four years of my life hold both my highest of highs and my lowest of lows. High school can be a very awkward time period in a person’s life. Four years ago, I made the intimidating switch from St. Mary’s School to Algoma High School. There were certain aspects of high school which made me nervous, but academics was not one of them. I learned how to be a responsible student in my earlier years, and school had always come relatively easy to me.
There will be a lot of tutoring opportunities if you are struggling with a subject. Also, know your teachers and coaches are there for you. The social life in high school will change drastically over the years. The friends you have now 90% of the time won’t be the friends you end up with.
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.
