Essay on Attending High School

High school has been a very interesting experience for me. It has definitely had its highs and lows and many confusing experiences in between. Overall, I feel like I have been equipped for not only college, but also life as a whole. High school has taught me many things, both academically and emotionally. It has revealed and exposed my true colors, both good and bad, and as a result, has built many aspects of my character. My experiences at school have shaped me into the person that I am today.

There's much to learn from yourself,your family, and individuals around you. Learn from experiences, mistakes, and others, but view what you learn in a positive viewpoint to receive positive results. My freshman year, the start of my high school career, it wasn't the best year for me at all. I struggled because I wanted to be surrounded by my so-called friends, who were a negative set of individuals. I got off the crowded bus and was going to the park every day to be with them. They weren't the best set of individuals for me to be around. Being around them seemed fun, but it was really negative because I didn't study, do homework, or perform like I was capable of. My family always worried about me because I wasn't home often and didn't present my grades to them. I had to come to a

Once I started school I took a class similar to the one I took in elementary school. During the school year I still had trouble reading and would take extra time to learn the material. I oftentimes would get frustrated and struggled to get better grades. I would work just as hard to get the same grades as everyone else, and did not understand why I could not understand the material as well. Throughout middle school I never really made much progress; I would always fall behind and not get the grades that I thought I could get. Once I was in 8th grade I knew I needed to put forth my best effort to prepare myself for high school. When the year started, I began to work harder and started to see my grades improve. By the end of the year I was really making progress and felt ready to take on high

When entering high school, every student knows they need to find their niche. At the very beginning of my freshman year I decided to go out for drama club by auditioning for the fall play. My brother had just been the lead in the fall play the past year and suggested that I should try out for drama. I decided to give drama club a shot and little did I know where that would lead me.

When I was 5 my family and I moved to California. We moved to a small city named Hemet. I started school here since kindergarten I went to an elementary school called Hemet Elementary. The school was a nice looking school kind of old but big. Overtime, the school had a problem with a water leak and was flooding. Due to that problem they closed the school down and transferred every kid that went to that school to another school. Everyone got split up to different schools because there were too many kids to put just at one school. I ended up getting to go to Whittier Elementary for fifth grade. As I got older I went through puberty at an early age so in a way I matured up faster. I started to notice that I liked different things as I got into middle school. I wasn’t into childish

The start times for High and Middle school should be switched with the upper and primary. The times should be switched for the following 3 reasons. First, high schoolers need more sleep.Second, younger kids go to bed earlier than teens so they can wake up earlier. Last but not least, the high will have fewer tardies first block.

In the year of 2017, I see myself graduating middle school and going into highschool. I will be going to highschool in an excellent school and taking classes in a great program with some of my friends. The school will be much bigger and there will be way more students attending. There will be much more competition throughout the school. Clearly, everyone in 8th grade had always been waiting for the nerve racking day they get to graduate. I have been waiting for the day I get to join a new school, with new students and new teachers, walking into new halls and new classrooms. There is more papers you have to write and you have to work even harder to succeed. But before my new life and education starts in high school, I would like to keep something in middle school. A legacy is how people will remember you. After all my hardwork and dedication, I want to leave a remarkable legacy in Eisenhower Middle school.

I admit that in the beginning of my high school years, I did not quite try my hardest in learning. I was a very immature and perplexed brat that did an amount of bad choices in life. As my high school years progressed, I started seeing more and more potential in myself and started to love learning. I started asking my parents and my teachers for help and advices on how I can make myself better and because of that I managed to change my grade point average into 3.0 and higher. I’m glad it occurred to me that learning is the essential way on surviving in real life.

The bump in the road that I faced in my academic life occurred during 9th grade. I was taking geometry honors which was a 10th grade class. I was already trying to adapt to the life of a high school student which included navigating my way throughout the big school that is Bartram Trail High School. So geometry was an added obstacle that turned out to be a substantial challenge. Right from the start my grades started to suffer. I thought that over time they would improve and that I would just need to get used to the teacher and the high school environment. However, this never quite happened. After a while I got very concerned and started coming in for extra help. This did not help me as I was still not grasping the concepts. I would spend hours staring at my homework blankly,

After graduating from Conroe High School, I want to attend to Lone Star College Montgomery simply because it’s closer to where I live, and because it’s more affordable than any other state institution. I really don’t feel like going to another college that is far away from home, because that would mean that I would have to stay in campus which is more expensive. I want to go to Lone Star for two years to complete my basics.

I can’t remember when I first heard about the University of Pittsburgh; I’ve lived in Pennsylvania my entire life so Pitt was always in the discussion when in came to colleges. I do, however, remember when I started seriously consider Pitt as somewhere I’d like to attend. In the Summer before my senior year of highschool I was working a pizza place and one of my coworkers was attending Pitt in Fall. Whenever we had shifts together all she would ever talk about was how excited she was for school to start. Being that I was still in highschool and hadn’t done any of my Summer work I didn’t share her sentiment While I was initially a bit annoyed by her enthusiasm eventually through osmosis I started to absorb some of the information and it all sounded pretty good. As the school year began and I started to get into the thick of college visits I added Pitt to the list of schools.

The classes I have taken have taught me how I learn the best and how to study more effectively. Many students are verbal learners, meaning they learn best by listening to material given to them. I, on the other hand, learn best by doing the activity myself. I never knew this fact about myself until after a very brutal physcology class. Also, college is said to be all memorization. I now know from experience that to pass and receive the degree being chased after, good study habits are a must. The very first test I took in college, I failed miserably. Being able to study in an effective way for an individual is the main way to keep the grades

These observations from my teachers and peers satisfied me, but what truly made everything worth it were my grades. In every class I took, my grades shot up at least 10 percent from the previous semester. I actually learned things in my classes instead of carelessly writing down notes to spit all the information out on a test before I would quickly and surely forget it. For once, I was actually happy with my schoolwork. Things were finally working out how I planned it to be.

To make learning easier for you, you should ask questions. Asking questions will help you have a better understanding of what you are learning. You won't be confused and end up with a bad grade because you didn't know what was happening. In the long run asking questions will make you smarter. Another thing that will help with learning is if you try your best. It is always better to try your best then to fail completely. If you forgot to study or you just completely forgot all the answers on a test, it is better to try your best and get a grade then to not try at all and fail. If you don't try your grade will drop even more than if you at least tried to remember and did what you could. The last thing that will help with learning is to do

During my years at Van Derveer Elementary school, I had a hard time adjusting myself in the class and my grades were not as good as they are today. But that didn’t mean that I would try my hardest. My only problem was that I had a hard time concentrating in class that when I had an exam, I would just sit there and do nothing. My teachers were concerned about this and talked to my parents about this. My parents taught me how to study and it helped a bit. My grades slightly improved and it was enough for me to graduate from Elementary school.
