Freshman Year Education

In this essay, I'm going to give advice to the high school freshman class to help them out with their last four high school years and to help them be successful. The advice that I am going to give might and probably will help freshmen, whether they are in-coming or already enrolled.

Junior year was full of many new experiences. We were now classified as upper classmen! Just like any of the other years in high school this year had just as many ups and downs. One of the main stresses in eleventh grade was the SAT. For sure one of the scariest things that I have ever had to do. All of the preparation going into it and the amount of studying made me feel as if I wasn’t going to have a brain by the time the testing was over. I took college and career readiness, which really helped prepare me for what was to come. By this time in high school I had already had my job for a little over a month, so I already knew what to expect once school started. I am thankful enough that at my job you get to leave at seven because I hear many

Freshman year, I imagined that year to be amazing. I wanted it to just have an awesome flow but did it? It did in the beginning then a bomb went off during the middle of the year and turned freshman year into a complete disaster. Freshman year was supposed to be about having a great start to the rest of your high school life before you enter the big bad world but other students just couldn't help themselves but to create that bomb during the middle of my freshman year.

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.

The concept of not having parents around to police almost every aspect of life may sound superb, but it isn’t all fun and games in college. In the article Your First Year of College: 25 Strategies and Tips to Help You Survive and Thrive Your Freshman Year and Beyond. Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D, the author, is a former marketing professor and writes articles such as this one to empower people. “While good grades could have come naturally to you in high school, you will have to earn them in college”(Hansen). This quote is key for the kids who just skated by in high school. For incoming freshman the workload may seem unbearable, but staying organized and focused are vital if you want to succeed in your first year. Feeling overwhelmed and stressed

As a freshman entering college, I was still skeptical if teaching was the right major for myself or if I wanted to go to college at all. That was four long years ago for me. Since then, I have taken classes I excelled in and I have taken classes I have struggled with and could not find the end of the semester. I am the first person in my family to go to college and not get pregnant or drop out before graduation. I am a member of Kappa Delta Phi: education honors society at Shepherd University and I was also a member of Alpha Phi Omega: the community service fraternity. I have worked extremely hard as a full time manager at two retail stores to put myself through college.

have always been the type of person to learn from my failures, and to try my absolute hardest to improve after them. One of my most memorable failures was with AP U.S. History, which I took Sophomore year. Like many of the other students, I was very laid back coming into class in the fall of 2014. I recall the lecture that our teacher, Mr. Hohenstein, gave us about keeping up with work and studying for tests. He specifically told us that you wouldn’t pass unless you gave your one-hundred percent. Despite all the important details and life lessons in his lecture, I didn’t heed most of his advice. After a few weeks had passed, our first test came around the corner. I thought that I was prepared, due to spending a couple of hours studying the

My freshmen year, I have many goals that I would love to achieve. Now that I am in high school, sports are more important than in middle school. Being watched by recruiters and making it to state are both possibilities in high school. However, grades come before everything, and graduating with a 4.0 G.P.A., could mean scholarships to many school. I will have to take my studies more seriously because what happens now, could determine my future. Even though this year is going to be hard for me, I am going to achieve my goals by keeping focus on them and work hard until I accomplish them. My goals this year are to be healthier, excel in sports, and finish freshmen year with a 4.0 GPA.

Making varsity your freshman year of high school is very uncommon due to all of the upperclassmen who have been playing for longer and who have also been on the team longer. My first wish is to make varsity my freshman year of high school on the Piedmont Lady Wildcat soccer team. I wish for this because I really do love soccer and making the team would really mean a whole bunch to me. Making the varsity team would make me feel like I accomplished something large. I could accomplish so much from being on the varsity team, I would have greater competition since I would be younger. If I tried I could also gather a scholarship easier into a college. If I do make the team that would show all of my hard work and dedication to the

It was the second semester in middle school when I met my now best friend Jennifer. We were both in the seventh grade attending Smitha Middle School. I remember it was around the time we had all just come back from the winter break. This is a story about a beginning of a new friendship.

Although almost everyone was or will be a Freshmen they are very misunderstood and stereotyped. Many people portray Freshmen to be small. When people often think of Freshmen they picture them as running everywhere. They are portrayed as Immature the majority of the time. People like to portray them as being loud all as well. The biggest misconception is they are rude. They are portrayed this way because there was a time freshmen were small, Immature and would run everywhere but as time went on Freshmen became less Immature, calmed down as stopped running everywhere and not everyone stayed small. Freshmen should stopped being portrayed in such negative ways and they should be looked at as just fellow students.

I believe freshman year of high school is essential in deciding whether a student drops out or stays on school. I believe that you should try your hardest freshman year so that you can stay motivated and get good start in high school.

The idea of college is overwhelming, considering that incoming students have to decide where they will live, what they will study, how many hours to take, and especially how they are going to pay for it. Randall S. Hansen, a nationally recognized Entrepreneur, is helping incoming college students everywhere deal with all of those critical ideas about college with his article called “Your First Year of College: 25 Strategies and Tips to Help You Survive and Thrive Your Freshman Year and Beyond” which explains what students should consider doing in their first year of college to make it through. In this article, he emphasizes how much students should think about what they do in their first year when he

Freshman year, I wasn't just a freshman I was freshmeat, a newbie, a nobody. I was at the bottom of the High School social class web. Freshman year was not at all like the movies portray it to be. It was better than expected actually, with the exceptions of having my locker vandalised with “Gay Dick” written on it I didn't let it bother me because I knew personally I was stronger than the people who wrote that. Freshman year I managed to balance my first job, school and my first time being in a team; spring track all season and it showed me i'm capable of anything if I put my mind to it. Freshmen year back to school night coach Banta found out I was a Bonilla and since all my siblings had gone to Manchester Regional High School he wasn't embarrassed to embarrass me with yelling “ ONE LAST BONILLA” over and over. I quickly pulled my hoodie over my head and pulled the string in order to hide my luminous red face and swiftly walked away. One of the best things that could have happened during my lifetime was my terrible no good very bad cousin having a baby. I know you may question as to why. Well my cousin is a very irresponsible woman and at the age of 25 have four kids with each having different fathers.
