As everyone knows, freshman year can be very rough. Last year, i learned that the hard way. Over the Course of time, I learned a lot. It all started When i was the typical, naive freshman girl, and started to give into pressure, and started to go downhill and pushed myself towards the wrong path. I was so young, and so stupid, little did I know it’d lead into a year and a half of self destructive behavior and tendencies. My attitude. It took a turn,and not in a good way. I never wanted to do anything. I cried ALL the time, and I honestly lost a lot of respect not only from others, but from myself too. I lost a lot of people over the year, people just kind of gave up. Yes, i have most of my friends still, People looked at me differently based on who i was surrounding myself with.They all thought i was doing the things these people were doing, which was wrong i would never do anything stupid enough to jeopardize my future. At the time i really didn’t think anything of it., I started to let my grades drop, which is rare because i’m constantly worried about my future, my grades and everything in between. I let it get the best of me too, I chased a boy that was honestly turn out to be …show more content…
Before this my life revolved around what everyone’s opinion was of me, I used to be a perfectionist, and plan everything ahead of time. That all changed for the longest period of time I wasn’t myself, I started hanging around people that were not a positive influence on me. They made me feel like acting happy was a crime, or if I cared about anything, I was weird. They’d give me weird looks when i’d talk passionately about something I loved so i caught on and I stopped talking about all of that. That is NOT me at all, My parents started to come down very hard on me, not because I was doing anything bad, but just to make sure I wasn’t going
Freshman 101 is a class adapted from the parrot program (Fay & Medway, 2006, p. 226). The parrot program was designed for college students at Cornell University. Freshman 101 is the first of its kind in the state of South Carolina and the first to extend Parrot’s college program to high school freshmen (p. 226). Each two-hour intervention class contained 25 to 30 freshmen students. The objectives of the class were to have participants understand the definition of acquaintance rape and the frequency that it takes place along with South Carolina’s laws regarding rape (p. 226). Students also learned about mixed messages associated with verbal and non-verbal communication and how to clearly state their wants and desires (p. 227). Communication,
I was very excited to start my junior year of college. I had a great year my second and third year and now was excited to see my friends, play soccer and work hard to improve my grades like always. I am m not very proud that I end my junior semester year with a 2.5 GPA. This was my hardest semester because I change my major from Physical Education to Business Administration.
Sophomore year had ended, and my summer had just begun. After a long wait to gain permission to go on a backpacking trip. My father gave me the approval. I took my love for the outdoors and began to explore it even more.
I cant believe that I am finally a senior in high school it seems just like yesterday I was beginning high school. As I begin my final year I am beginning to realize that this year I will be faced with many responsibilities and will make tons of memories. But I hope that I am able to make my senior year the best yet. Through this final year I hope to have passing grades in all of my classes, to win pep rallies, and to have perfect attendance.
If someone ask me what is my favorite memories in high school for now. I’ll says that is my sophomore year. Because sophomore year is the year that changed my mind and my life, the year that I meet my awesome friend and everyone look at me a different way and here is what happened to my sophomore year.
Being a freshman in College could be troublesome for others. Some find it easy and breeze through college; some takes time to find their comfort zone. A student must be able to know their positive and negative aspects of everyday task throughout College. Responsibility, motivation, and knowing the benefits and drawbacks are some of the qualities that a student must possess in order to be successful in College.
Attending High School is hard enough, especially that last year in High School, yes senior year. Now let's add college classes to that and my High School routine is eat, school, and sleep. In the past, I’ve made horrible mistakes for not knowing how tough courses can get especially with an overload and not studying "right". This year I’ve made changes and improved on how, when and where I study to earn good grades and improve my knowledge.
Senior Year… A beautiful ending to some of the longest, hardest, and most difficult years I will ever have to face. Well at least until my senior year of college. It feels like forever since I first step foot in the high school in my hometown. I started this long journey at Columbia City High School as a freshman and sophomore. Then, for my junior year, I chose to study dance. Having a year off of my education was pretty stressful, but it was the best option for me at the time, and I definitely do not regret it. For my senior year, I found Marion High School. MHS has a partnership with Community School for the Arts, giving me many opportunities through my academics and arts.
Freshman year is not to be taken lightly. When teachers and staff tell you that freshman year is a crucial part of high school, they mean it. Students who dive into freshman year with the notion that it’s insignificant because it’s the first year of high school are alarmed at the effect it has on their following years. The years following grade nine are almost entirely determined by your achievements and effort during freshman year. How you grow and progress will define what classes you take in your sophomore, junior, and senior year at Durfee, and what kind of opportunities become available to you.
As I attended my second day of college, at the end of the day I had to attend Freshman Composition one. Professor Jill had informed us last lesson to bring in ten sentences for homework, or otherwise we would be marked absent. I then told myself that I must always be punctual in completing the task given, or my attendance would drop creating issues. On the next day, I went into class with all my heavy books, those that we might use and others I worry that will be needed. The bright classroom was filled with florescent lights, bothering my eyes. Uncomfortable green colored chairs and a massive grey garbage that seemed to stand out. I was so tired after finishing my first two classes of the day that not as usual, I got a headache from the bright
College students have no yet grasped the threat of this cancer, according to researchers at Auburn University who followed 131 students over four years of college at least 70% saw a dramatic increase of 12-37 pounds. They take lightly the common pop culture reference for weight gain, the freshman fifteen; if college kids are looking at stats like these, then they begin to develop fear, which is the most important step to change or prevent an unhealthy lifestyle. Too many are suffering from health related diseases from their poor choices and I believe this is mainly due to the lack of knowledge. It’s easy to say it should be required for all college kids to take a health course or gym in order for them to learn how to live a healthier lifestyle
When you think about high school, you think about what you have seen on TV and movies or what you heard from other people's experiences. You will make your own assumptions about what high school is like but won't know for sure until you get there. But when you think about your senior year, you automatically think that senior year is the best year you will have because of many reasons. 1.) It's the last year of high school. 2.) You're preparing to go to college and can't wait to get away from your parents. 3.) You’re to prom in a beautiful dress with that special someone. 4.) Celebrating senior week with you fellow classmates. And fifth and last reason is Graduation where you say goodbye to your teachers and classmates but say hello to new adventures. Senior year makes you feel like the world is yours. My senior year, however, was different from others.
An important point in someone’s life is there senior year. I would suggest everyone to really encourage the younger people to really take this into consideration. However if had the chance to go back in time i would do a lot to prepare me before my senior year . My grades could determine my life after my senior year, they determine my future whether or not colleges will accept me or not. This year I plan on focusing on several areas to ensure that I am successful.
If I were able to tell a freshman beginning high school what to do in order to succeed, I would begin by explaining what is necessary for them to do. The day I began high school, I was unable to differentiate the things that should be taken seriously, versus what should not. Because I was unable to decide which subjects I should study in school, I ended up far behind in credits.
I no longer was popular or had a boyfriend. It was me against everyone else. The town people started to talk about how my mom was a crazy alcoholic who did not care for me, yet they were wrong. Yes, maybe my mom did have a drinking problem but that did not mean she did not love or care for me. Even though I was on my own throughout that my high school years, I grew as a person and became very mature for a young girl. When I came to college I did not realize how strong of a person I was. Looking back at my past does not make me wish I had it better. Instead, I look back and realize that if I wouldn’t have gone through any of that, I would not be the strong, independent, mature 19-year-old I am
