Coming To High School

High school isn't easy, because of many reasons and one of them is work! The wok in high school gets harder. You will of course see new and unknown ideas, but they give you more work and test's. In middle school you had your final exam's at the end of the year and the whole year to study, but in high school we go by semester's and the the final test's for those classes are at the end of the semester. You don't have a whole year to study and review for your final exam, so it's

Middle school to high school is a big jump from not only school to school but also new people coming into our school, harder academics, sports are now a part of your school life, and a jump from school to school. My thoughts on high school have really changed over the past few weeks. When I first realized that we we're going to be in high school shortly, I got a little freaked out. Although I know alot of high schoolers and specific people that go to West I still feel overwhelmed by the fact that i'm going from a 600 person school to a 1,200+ person school. For the longest time I felt if high school would be the hardest part of my life and getting accustomed to the new setting would be hard for me, I thought the people there we're mean and

My high school experience was overall a mixture of being scared and growing to become who I am today. When I was in my first years of high school, it was just high school nothing more. I had seen teachers as teachers and friends as friends. I just

One piece of advice that I would give to an incoming high school freshman would be that you should not worry about what other people think about you. You do not need to impress anyone and you most certainly do not need to try and change yourself for that person. There will be people in your life who try and make you do things that you normally would not do and maybe are not comfortable with. Do not let someone change you. If that person does not like that you do not do something that they do, or act how they act, chances are you probably should not be hanging around with them.

High school is such a different experience for everyone. We all take different paths and learn new things everyday. We learn trigonometry, how to fix cars, how to dissect a frog, and different laws in the world. The things we learn in class are very important, but along the way of expanding our educations, one will tend to learn a lot about themselves and others. For me, I feel that my high school experience was not ideal and I constantly complain about the outcome. Looking back in grade eight, I had a different plan for me. It took me up until this year to realize that although my experience was not something worth bragging about, I've learned a lot about who I am. I've learned to take chances, be patient, and

Transitioning from the middle school to the high school is a big change for a student. When we moved to the high school, we thought freshman Friday's would be all year and that it would be very difficult to find our classes. However, freshman Friday's only last the first couple weeks, and there are lots of link leaders to help the freshies find their classes. School is a big deal here in the high school. 8th graders should follow our tips if they want to be successful in the high school.

I was the exact same way during school! I wouldn't raise my hand to answer questions when I knew I was right either. I was extremely nervous going into middle school during the 7th grade, so I could only imagine how it was for you going to a middle school that began in the 5th grade. It's even worse when teachers are constantly reminding you about how different middle school is going to be from elementary school. They think they're trying to help by giving constant reminders, but it really only helps cause more worry about transitioning. Your middle school's no hugging policy seems so out of place in an environment where students socialize and meet new people. However, I'm glad you were able to enjoy your high school after your difficult middle

Transitioning has always been a difficult for me. My freshmen year of high school experiences varied from disappointment, to complete chaos. Freshmen year of high school is tough, you worked yourself to the top to be placed in the bottom again. Not to mention middle school and high school are two different types of environments. I was aware that they were two different types of environments, so when my middle school offered a summer course at Carl Hayden High School I took the opportunity to help me adjust. The course was a reading comprehension class, I did not need help with my reading comprehension but took it to get a feel of how high school would be. Judging high school by one course was ignorant of me to do. From that short experience

I’ve been through a variety of things in my life so far. I am From Yuma, Arizona my family and I moved to Hampton, SC. Following that move, we left again due to my dad being laid off from work and we found a place to live which is here in Belton.

It was eighth grade year and the time came to decide what school I would be attending for the next four years at the high school level. At the time, I was attending a small catholic elementary school, Regina Coeli, where there were only twenty students in my class. There was no high school to directly advance to from Regina Coeli, once you finished your eighth grade year you split off from everyone else and were forced to choose the high school in which you would attend. Who knew going to high school was going to be a significant change for me environmentally and academically.

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.

Transitioning from high school to college isn't easy, as Professor Chew implied in his part I video. College is hard, it requires lots of study hours, and we have to master completely cutting off our distractions. Honestly I can admit that I am guilty in all the points Professor Chew had mentioned in his video. I don't study at all and when I do I tend to skim over the chapter or words, whatever the case may be. This habit also applies to occasions when a test while take place, I “study”, think I do well, and get a low grade.

I know that people might think that unannounced high school visits by police officers and drug sniffing dogs feels like they're intruding on your privacy without any reason, but think about it. If You're innocent and have followed the law and rules that the schools have then you have nothing to worry about. The cops are not gonna break up every single locker and look through all your stuff unless the dogs actually react to your, or if you're unlucky, your neighbor's locker.

The High School I will be attending is Stockdale.What I learned from Tevis is classes will get harder but it won’t be hard if you work hard.What I’m looking forward to high school is staying with my friends and making new ones.Also doing well in school is important to me so i can get into a good

Now high school can be a big pain in the butt, but in reality, what would you be doing at home if you weren't in school? Probably just sitting down and eating. High school is a big responsibility and a big change. Teacher's don't mean to scare you by giving you a ton of homework they're just getting you ready for the rest of your life because that is their job. You do get a lot of freedom, stress really kicks in and the people in the hallway can get on your nerves, but in the end High School is a great
