I along with countless other freshman now have finished my first semester to high school. The first of a total of 8 and I’ve already messed up and know that these mistakes will be permanent. As of right now the only thing I am able to do is try harder next time. I understand that Freshman year is the start and that you are now in an unfamiliar place, around unfamiliar people. But as it might seem obvious that you should first find your place among people and fit in, that is a wrong approach. Freshman year is very detrimental and will shape how the rest of your years in high school play out, whether you fail through your first year or soar through above everyone else is simply your choice. People change, that is a very fact of life. Therefore
Freshman do not run the school so get that attitude out of your mind. You will experience many situations in which upperclassman will teach you, so take notes and learn from our mistakes. Having respect for upperclassmen and teachers will pave a successful road ahead of you, so learn that right from the start. Believe me when I tell you this, you aren’t as mature as you think you are. Each year you get more wisdom, but freshman year is a time for learning so embrace it as much as you. Teach yourself to learn from your mistakes, frankly, I am still making mistakes to this day. Come into high school with a mindset of growth and you will learn your rightful
As a diverse student, in a very low income community I have always been known to standing up for others, as well as for myself. Having this natural drive i found myself taking a huge role in our high school Beta Club. As a natural leader, I was challenged with the opportunity to represent our high school’s Beta Club Chapter while running for North Carolina Beta Secretary. Although I felt experienced as a leader, I was really nervous to get up in front of all of North Carolina and give a speech at the Beta Club convention. Although I was nervous, I opened my mouth, and the words just began to come out. My fears went away, and I addressed everyone on topics of educational improvements and opportunities for all students to succeed. I used this
Although the first year of high school is a big transition, it’s crucial in determining the remaining years of high school because, First, having good grades will determine whether or not you get accepted the university you want and there are more opportunities for scholarships. Second, joining a club in high school will give you an insight in leadership and teamwork. Third, Slacking of your freshman year in high school is a bad thing to do because it will affect your senior year and all the classes you missed or failed, you will have to retake all of them. Lastly, all of these factors all come into play your senior year they can either help you or make your high school years miserable. First, having good grades in your freshman year will open up the doors to more opportunities coming your way. My freshman year wasn't the best I got D's and C's and almost failed two classes. Laziness played a big factor in why I got bad grades I was lazy to do homework and any projects. I had some advice from my cousin’s they would always tell me not to mess up freshman year, but, I ignored them and you start to pay for it senior year by retaking all those classes you failed. To get better grades I set up a planner and wrote down due dates and set up a time organizer at home and this helped me better organize my time to do the work. My advice to all new freshmen is to set up a work schedule for your work it will better your studying habits and make you aware of due dates and the time you
First off I would like to congratulate everyone for making it this far. I would like to thank my classmates, my friends, and my family. I especially want to thank our teachers, for always supporting and encouraging us. If it weren’t for the people who support us daily, we would not be where we are today. I would like everyone to turn to their families, and teachers to thank them for all that they have done for us.
Dear administrators, teachers, parents, beloved friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th grade graduation. It’s a pleasure to be standing in front of you today on this beautiful day to express the happiness we all feel.

I will make sure we are all involved, so we all get to be connected into the school. In order to be involved, we all have to take risk and try new things.

Heading from middle school to high school can seem somewhat intimidating to the average teenager.

Coming into high school can be very nerve racking. Everyone makes jokes about you being a freshman, you aren’t familiar with the building, and you don't always have people you know in your classes.

Coming from middle school can be a hard transition because there are so many new things to learn. New students will face a new campus, teachers, friends, and overall a new way of life. I believe that freshman students who struggle to adapt into high school can lead to poor grades, peer pressure, and losing focus of long term goals. Here are some suggestions to help incoming freshman have a successful high school experience.

Freshman year is the year you have idolized all through your childhood. You finally become a high school student. The pressures almost all freshman deal with are: transitioning into high school, staying focused, and the influence from your friends. High school is very different transformation from middle school. Because of this difference, it 's sometimes is hard for you to adjust to the change.

(sound alarm) Don't you just love that sound. Ahhh the sound of school calling at 6 in the morning. When you start a new school or a new grade many emotions are most likely running through your head which stress' you out. But when you get to high school it's a whole new beginning and experience. The overall experience of high school is pretty neat if you asked me. The freedom is nice, although there is a lot of stress, the people in the hallway can be disturbing, and you make all new sorts of friends and enemy's.
