This year, I started out as a freshman in highschool. This experience has been one I truly loved and learned a lot from. The years I have spent in elementary school have prepared me with basic knowledge and life skills to prepare me for middle school and further character development. Middle school was focused more on preparing students with time management skills, self teaching, adapting to new experiences, and people skills. The past 8 years of school have been building me up to enter high school and truly start my academic path to success in the real world. Most incoming freshman during the summer stress about assimilating into highschool life, which is something I admit to. Everyone in the US school system has been told that all 8 years of school are only placed there to prepare you for highschool, which are the actual years determining your future. All the mistakes and grades leading up to highschool matter, but everything that is done in highschool determines the university a person will go to, and ultimately, what job and how much money they will make, pretty stressful. I started out my freshman year pretty cautious and looking for people and things to tie myself down to for stability for the rest of the year. Generally, the first month or two of any year is establishing your friends, friend groups, class subjects, and adapting to different teaching styles, schedules, and classes. After assimilating into freshman life, life was pretty average I was almost
I was terribly nervous because I did not know one single person at JM. I thought I was going to sit alone at lunch and I never would make any friends. I also thought that I would be lost on the first day and go to all the wrong classes! Surprisingly, I made a friend at freshmen orientation. Her name was Monita. Unfortunately, Monita and I had no classes together except for lunch. At least I had someone to sit with at lunch and one of my fears were gone. On my first day, I went to all my classes without any confusion. I was not lost and I made a few friends. Eventually, I began to make more friends and adjust to my new high school. I even went to the football
Freshman Year and Senior Year are both very stressful years of high school. Freshman year I made new friends because I was at a new school with some new people. I also tried to make sure my grades stayed up because now that I’m in high school I have to start thinking what I want to do when I graduate, what college I want to go. I’ll have to keep my grades up now because I want to be able to get into a good college and I will be stressing out because I still don’t know what I want to do when I graduate from high school or where, as most of the other will be too.
8th grade. The last year at Ross Middle School. Being retrospective on past years has me thinking of my many accomplishments, and many fails I’ve had. From getting very good grades to the embarrassing moments. All the time I wish I was still in elementary school. You get to wake up earlier and do less work. Next year I probably will be wishing the same thing, but to be in middle school. I am excited for highschool next year, but also nervous. I am petrified of getting lost or walking into the wrong classroom. Many of my freshman friends tell me they love highschool.
After I graduated from middle school and entered high school, I experienced numerous changes throughout my learning and education. During my freshman year of high school, I was able to apply the skills, concepts, and knowledge that I learned throughout my years in middle school, which allowed me to gain success as a student. I
A lot have people have been nervous about their freshman year but eventually we all make friends and end off the year with a lot of great weird and sometimes depressing memories.
My first day being a Freshmen was by far the hardest day of my life. I went to Mississinewa! I didn’t know any of my teachers, and I didn’t have any classes with my friends. I remember having gym class with a lot of boys and I hated it, because it was all juniors and senior boys. At the end of my freshman year I actually ended up moving to Marion High school.
As freshmen, there is a massive weight on their shoulders. This year sets the tone for the rest of their high school career. That pressure, and suddenly being thrust into a brand new ecosystem with different rules and expectations, makes freshman year one of the toughest.
Things was completely different but the same. The work was harder and different from the work I had in middle school even the teachers I had was also different as well. My transition going into high school was different. It happened to be a different type of scenery and I didn’t expect for that to happen to me at that time. Being a freshman opened up a whole different world for me that I wasn’t really ready for. Going into highschool, I had friends I thought I would be friends with for my entire life. As soon as I got to high school things started to change. On top of the friends I had I also made new friends as well. When I was a freshman I had to look up to the upperclassmen to guide me and to lead me by example. When I was a freshman, it meant I had to be on my P’s and Q’s. I felt a lot of pressure when I was a freshman especially from teachers. Fitting in while I was a freshman wasn’t a good start for me because I wasn’t really involved into any school activities or
I remember being an anxious eighth grader thinking about starting my freshman year of high school. We went from being at the top of the school to being at the bottom of a new one. All of our middle school teachers always told us about how our high school teachers wont “hold our hands” and how we will be on our own. Being in high school is completely different than being in elementary school and middle school. Its almost like each year we have more and more freedom but more responsibility.
Freshman year, the year of many first; the first time living away from home, the first time being away from friends, the first time a student has control of their own learning. Freshman year requires a lot of discipline, but a lot of students do not possess this trait. The factors that contribute to the success of first year college students are social support, comfort within the college environment, self control,responsibiliy and positive self concept.
First off, adjusting to academic factors in the freshmen year can create stress for students in a variety of ways. First of all, first-year students experience stress while trying to keep up with the new academic workloads in college, which are completely different and more challenging than the workloads in high school. To illustrate this, in Alan Schwartz’s article in the
Freshman year is the year you have idolized all through your childhood. You finally become a high school student. The pressures almost all freshman deal with are: transitioning into high school, staying focused, and the influence from your friends. High school is very different transformation from middle school. Because of this difference, it 's sometimes is hard for you to adjust to the change. The social aspect of high school is larger because there are students from the other middle schools combined into one high school. Meeting new people can lead you to forget about your work. As a
The only year in elementary school I enjoyed was fifth grade. This school year was full of encouragement and kindness from my teachers. Their constant motivation and kind words gave me the confidence to improve my grades in school and interact more with my classmates. After fifth grade, my entire class and I left our old school, and relocated to the middle school. This change was not the easiest for me either. While elementary school was a tame and controlled environment, middle school gave students more freedom and was less strict on students.
Middle school was the start for the many challenging years yet to come. Extremely quickly, I
The teachers taught me well, while my peers taught me more about life. I made my best friends in middle school and we are a family now. I cherished the time I spent in middle school. I was a top student who was doing well, had many friends, and was making a name for myself in sports and extracurricular activities. Then once again graduation rolled around and I had to leave all of the good things behind. But I was ready to embark on an education that was more geared towards my future.
