Freshman Changes

College changed me. Ok, well maybe not college in the traditional sense but, the high school Ridley College certainly did. When I told my parents that I wanted to apply to Ridley College as supposed to continuing on the route that I was on and going to my local high school something changed for them. For the first time, at least to them, I was branching out and making decisions for myself. Up until that point I had always just sort of quietly done what was expected of me and never really branched out or stepped off of the beaten path into the unknown. Yet, coming out of elementary school I was fed up with being normal. I wanted to be extraordinary and, in order for that to happen I knew that I was going to have to change things up. I

I was still finding out who I was then, even now I’m not done changing, but I’m not who I once was, I’m not sad all of the time, I have a very small group of friends and I have changed for the better. My high school experience has been very interesting so far. Having few friends in life leads you to finding an alternative; I read of adventures and friendships, I learned the meaning of love and what it means to care about someone, I put myself in the shoes of those I read about. It’s helped me to become independent and more

So far, the college experience has made me a changed person. College changed me into a better person on many occasions. I have learned to be more responsible, when it comes down to getting work done. In college you must be responsible. I have also changed my attitude. Moving from high school to college is a big step; if you don’t change your ways for the better then you might not be successful in college. When you reach college then is the time that you become an adult.

One of the ways I have changed is the way I act around other people. The way that I act around other people, such as, spending more time with all of my friends. I also really try to be nice to other people.I do not talk a lot in class, unless I have close friends in class with me. Not only do I act differently around other

Over the past four years of being in high school I have changed tremendously mentality and physically. Mentally I’m mature by changing my group of friends and surrounding myself with positivity. A few lessons that I came across is that not everyone into friend. People who say that there really there for you most likely are not going to be there at the end of the day when you need them the most. Also when I recently learned is that if you pay tension now in school he pays off in the long run.

When comparing my life and personality as a freshman to my current life, there are many differences. As a freshman, I was unmotivated and immature. Going into highschool, I wasn’t prepared or used to doing a lot of homework. In elementary and middle school I had been one of the smartest kids in my class, and school was easy. Then when I started 9th grade, I realized I actually had to put effort in my work, so I didn’t. Freshman year I was mean and rude to those around me, including my friends and teachers. I remember myself as loud and obnoxious, and I didn’t really care about other people’s feelings or how my actions would affect others. When I reflect on what I was like, I see myself as the few kids in my PGC group who don’t pay attention

When I was in middle high school, I wasn’t like any other kids my age I knew. It seemed like all the kids new what they wanted to do in life. Most of my classmates had a mindset that they were going to college, but I was focused more on graduating middle school so that I can make it to high school. By the time I made it to high school, there was more pressure on me to think about going to college. My parents wanted me to further my education. My mother asked me if I was thinking about college yet. At that point, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was confused so I

Have I changed since the beginning of Jr. High? I believe I have, I feel that it was a positive change. I have become more open about myself, I really don't care about what others think of me, and have learned to love myself before I love others.

Has the change from 5th grade to 6th grade changed your life, if so how? A change can affect your life in a good way or a bad way. 6th grade has had a positive effect and a negative effect on my life. Since entering the 6th grade I have learned having more stuff to keep up is hard, friends can be gained or lost over the school year, and how there is more freedom.

Today college is going through changes. The economic instability throughout the countries, parents have pondered the questions, is college a good investment for my child. There is a great debate throughout the country regarding college education. Some people argue that college is not for all students and most students will not benefit in going to college. From grade school to high school students are being prepared in attending college. Teachers and academic counselors tell students that in order to be successful in life that a person must obtain a higher education. Everyone has different opinions regarding if college is for every student, but with today’s technologies and the high demands of new jobs, there is one main question that needs to be answered. Does college still matters?

I have come a long way since the days where I was that quiet and respectful freshman who despised my cocky and immature counterparts.

Senior year for most will be the beginning for most people to start the path to becoming an adult and making decisions that will impact the rest of our lives. One decision most will be making is which college to attend after high school. Requiring students to research on what college will fit best for them. The college I have chosen to research is Kirkwood Community College.

I feel that I have changed tremendously this semester. This class has allowed me to understand that I cannot change individuals; however, I can provide them with adequate resources to allow them to enhance their lives, if that is the choice they desire to make.

I have changed since the beginning of Junior High because of a few reasons. One reason is because I am more mature than I was coming into Junior High. I am much happier then I was. Also I am more focused then i used to be. Also I have took on some more responsibility.

I have changed a lot from last year in sixth grade it's been a little bit of physical, intellectual but mostly emotional.
