Freshman year has got to be the craziest year out of all of highschool. Seeing some of your closest friends go to a different school then you. Going into a new bigger school unaware of your surroundings. And Making and hanging out with new friends and teammates. The first day in high school in my freshman year i had no idea where i was going or where my classes were. The building looked big outside and even bigger on the inside. Everyone looked older and taller, even the girls. We actually got to text and have our phones out in the hallways. I heard tons of myths about high school. One was to never eat at lunch alone because people would think you were weird or a lame. Another one i heard was if you're going to be late you might as well be extra late and go get …show more content…
Running track and cross country kept my body and shape and made me eat healthier. We went many places and i got to see and experience new things. I hung out with a lot of seniors so always had places to go. I used to go to parties and sneak into clubs with them. I met so many college kids my freshman year that i felt like i was in college. The new subjects (classes) was harder than my middle school classes but easier than i thought they were going to be. My favorite class my freshman year was physical science. My teacher used to do experiments all the time and the class was never boring. Looking back at my freshman year yearbook picture i looked kind of goofy and childish. I also looked like a problem child and a trouble maker. Looking at that picture just makes me laugh because it’s funny to me. Just looking back and seeing how young i looked and was and how much i grown and matured. I’m still a little childish now but not ass childish as i used to be. I still have a little baby face but i grew a mustache. My freshman year i seen who my real friends were. Some people i was really cool and close to didn’t even say a word to me my freshman
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,
Coming from being a junior in high school to now being a senior. Senior in high school is going to be one of the most favorite and scariest parts of my life. Everyone says that it is one of the biggest part of your life. They say senior year will be one of my favorite memories. My expectations for high school amounts to worrying about deadlines for my high school projects, everyone asking about where I will be attending college, and trying to figure out what I am going to do with the rest of my life.
Sophomore year is going to get tougher as you go on, but there will be many room to have fun, like the assemblies. Dont give in to video games, like last year. I will not play League of Legends or any other games until I finish my homework and studies. My days of being a procrastinator master is over. Remember back when you stayed up till 3:00 studying or doing a project at the last minute. Doing everything the day they are assigned makes your life more stress free. I wouldn’t be tired and have a mood swing while doing my homework, and then sleep for a few hours, and waking up feeling like poo.
Sophomore year in general has been treacherous . Now it's become harder trying to manage work while studying for finals, Eoc and keeping up with work. Nowadays, I find myself wishing to be back in elementary school. A memory that has been engraved to the deepest part of my brain is one of my teachers telling me of the importance of flushing and cleaning up after the mess that I create. I can’t believe that I once thought that elementary school was difficult. Let’s ignore the fact that my English wasn’t that good in elementary school, now that I’m actually reflecting on the time that I spent in elementary school, I can truly see how simple everything was. For example, I had to write my weekly vocabulary words thrice. But, this is the real world. We aren’t given the chance to go back in time just because we wish to relive certain periods of our lives.
Freshman year was definitely the most nerve wracking for me. I was between moving, switching schools, and making new friends. It was a scary time in my life. It was also a new beginning! My first day of freshman year was like a fresh start for me. I made new friends, and a new very best friend! Though I did miss my old friends,
It’s freshman year and my mom helps me move cross country from Colorado to Nebraska, unload my stuff from the mini-van in giant rolling laundry carts into McGloin Hall, my home for the next nine months. McGloin is supposed to be just for sophomores but all the freshman dorms filled up so they stuck me in there, too. It’s half-reward, half-punishment, newer and nicer but isolated, tucked and hidden by deep green deciduous trees on the far end of campus.
Just this year thousands of kids started their freshman year of college here at NIU. Like many, I was terrified, but instead of letting my fear get to me, I used it to fuel my confidence instead. That is my belief, that instead of hiding when you are afraid, you should use the fear of the unknown and turn it into a reason to experience more.
Many college students find their freshmen year emotionally challenging. For instance, transitioning to a new place far from home they find themselves alone, depressed and emotional. Other students work so hard to achieve their goals of academic excellency, that they overwhelm themselves to exhaustion. By the same token, receiving negative feed back from teachers can lower students’ self-esteem. Even though students are going through these struggles, at the end of their progress they will feel relieved because they achieved their
As i have grown up as an individual and as an adult i have overcame my old child like ways and ideas. My freshman year i struggled with grades and my attitude throughout the year in many ways. All it took was one year to ruin my reputation as a good student and i have been fighting to regain how i truly am from then on. My child like ways have put me in a hole that i have been fighting to climb out of for years now. I am still battling to regain what i had previously ruined, but i am proud of what i have done and how i have came back from it. Without my difficult freshman year i don't know if i would have the motivation i have now to prove that i am not the young kid that doesn't have a shot to graduate college and make a life for myself. My difficult year made me who i am today and for that i am grateful that i can use that at my disposal to make myself better in a variety of ways.
High school was actually very good for me. At first it was difficult to make friends, but by my senior year I had amazing friends. A majority of my friends were a year younger than me so when it was time to talk to them about college, they weren’t really thinking about it yet. Luckily I did have some friends that were my age so I had some people to talk to about college.
Obviously like any other freshman high schooler I was excited to start playing high school sports and being apart of the whole high school experience. But like many other freshman I had a false impression of high school. I thought it was going to be exciting and that I would meet a lot of the older kids and go to cool highschool parties. I also didn 't understand why people always said highschool changes people. I
Freshman year in high school was a weird experience for me, just thinking about finally being an official high schooler terrified me. Even through all this the senior girls became friends with me and were extremely nice to me, even when I was too cocky. Sports really helped me grow friendships with people and create a self-pride in myself. My freshman year we were district campions and that was the first time in Burns Flat-Dill City history to make it to regionals. We were in the very last game in regionals and sadly lost out by a ball that was dropped in the outfield. That same year I went to state in track for the very first time. Through all my sports accomplishments I was ready to take on my sophomore year.
My freshmen year of high school I did not expect much to change from middle school, just more work along with unwanted stress of moving on to high school. I had to the wrong attitude going into my classes. I felt as if the teachers were all against me and they all wanted me to fail or just torture me. The daily frustration of having to go to school everyday seemed to be unbearable. I tried to fake being sick or to tired to go to school on a daily basis. All that got me through the seemingly endless days was the thought of never having to step foot on a school campus again.
It felt like everyone at the school already knew who I was and was friendly with me on the first day, I even remember exactly what outfit I had on and I didn’t even take a picture. I was the only freshman at the school to be on the varsity football and basketball team at Lakeland Senior high school , and actually one of my best friends during the basketball season got moved up from JV to varsity with me so that was something else that was cool to me . Although the first year of high school everyone says is one of the most important years you’ll have , I wish I would’ve had that focus honestly but unfortunately I didn’t , my head was into being popular and cool with everybody , getting all the females , as shy as I was my freshman year a lot of the females wanted my attention ,
My freshman year brought new friends, new hobbies and new options! As a freshman I wanted to be involved in as much as I could. I joined every club possible, including KAY, Student Council, and FBLA. I was able to be freshman rep of FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, and this gave me the chance to make friends that were not in my grade.
