High School Is The Best Time Of My Life

Being careless about my education, I was not concerned about how my grades would affect me in the future. I was more concerned about going against what my parents were telling me just to make them furious. I always saw myself as an average student so I really did not mind missing school and paying much attention to it. At the time, it did not seem like a big deal to me but realizing what I had done with my education was a mistake. Those bad habits I picked up throughout the years ended up making the rest of my high school career difficult. I made things that were useless seem important. I put those first when in reality they were not that important and I could have simply pushed it away. This is where I was starting to realize that I needed a wakeup call. I needed to set priorities for myself that was going to put my education back on track.

I am a great student but, I'm not perfect for there will always be room for improvement. Always. There are students better than I, we all have our faults. For myself, my kryptonite is that I procrastinate so bad that I procrastinate procrastinating procrastination. I procrastinate about 23 hours a day, reading Psychology Today, re-reading old books, buying new books and sleeping.

My sophomore year at Central High School did not start out the best. I was recovering from an awful grade point average, awful for me at least, I was sitting the bench in a sport that I had lost interest in, and overall I just did not enjoy school anymore. I personally did not see the point in coming to school at all. It took some time, but I finally started to get my grades up, my season had ended for football, and I knew I was not going back. After everything was starting to go my way I started thinking, “What am I going to do next?”

Looking back at the years that I have completed in high school is a funny but a true life changer. If I was to go back to one year of high school I would want to go back to freshman year. One reason why I would want to go back to freshman year is to talk to myself. Another reason I would want to go back it tell myself to listen more. The last reason would to see if I could improve myself in any way.

After seeing the video of professor Chew’s talk on “How to get the most out of studying, part 1” I realize the mistakes I’m doing when I’m studying. I been doing the same mistake since high school and now I know why I was struggling so much in some classes. Because I was multitasking most of the time when I was studying and being over confidents about knowing the topic I wasted a lot of time learning.

Do I wish I’ve done something in my high school career? Yes, because last year wasn't the best year. I was always out with doctors appointments and other personal stuff. I wish I would've studied more, had my work organized and stop talking during class when

High school is such a different experience for everyone. We all take different paths and learn new things everyday. We learn trigonometry, how to fix cars, how to dissect a frog, and different laws in the world. The things we learn in class are very important, but along the way of expanding our educations, one will tend to learn a lot about themselves and others. For me, I feel that my high school experience was not ideal and I constantly complain about the outcome. Looking back in grade eight, I had a different plan for me. It took me up until this year to realize that although my experience was not something worth bragging about, I've learned a lot about who I am. I've learned to take chances, be patient, and

Now that I am all done with highschool and I am in college, were the work is ten times harder and the teachers don't really care if you fail or pass, I wish I had payed more attention in class and I wished that I would have taken my enducation a little more serious while I was in high

Throughout my high school years I have learned that growth comes from experience. Through mistakes you learn what not to do, through struggles you learn how to rise above, and through high school I have learned that hard work really does pay off. I have been an honor roll student for the entirety of my high school career which has led me to many opportunities

I could not stand it much longer with all the assignments, and the fact that I was going through the same problem as I did back in the earlier years of schooling with my grades and GPA dropping. As the senior year began, I just could not wait to get it all done. Nearing the end of my senior year, I began slipping up academically, which made it nearly impossible to make it to graduation. As graduation day was approaching, anxiety ripped me apart because I knew I messed up academically, but I finished out with a punch. Later, I was informed that I would be walking across that stage. Graduation day arrives, all the graduating seniors, and myself are gathered within an arena, so many families screaming at the top of their lungs out of excitement. As I am watching the line go in alphabetical order up to the stage to collect their diplomas, I could not help but reminisce upon the moments that made high school what they were. As they mention my name, I make my way up to the stage to pick up my diploma, then as I walk off that stage, I make a loud shout saying “ALL DONE.” As soon as the graduation concluded, I began making my way to my car, that very minute is the minute that I regret the most because that is when I said that I would never return back to school again. Three years later, I am now back in school watching all the friends that I made in middle school, and high school graduating from college. I am glad I did begin school, even if it was three years

In life there are always moments that we wish we could take back. If given the chance to revisit the past and change the outcome of a situation, I would have not dropped out of school and later gotten my GED. I made this decision at a young age, unaware of how this decision would change my future greatly. In deciding to drop out of school, I missed out on the experience that high school gives you and how it would have helped develop my character. If I stayed enrolled in school I would have had more doors opened for my future and the assistance that I would have needed to make those life choices such as college. I would have been able to feel the sense of success, like getting promoted to a higher position, getting rewards for all my hard work at the job, or simply getting employee of the month. I would’ve wanted to finish the four years of high school and know that all my hard work has paid off.

I remember how nice it was to wake up at 10 in the morning, and not having to worry about school. I honestly felt like I would never make it to school on time due to my sleeping rate. As the days went on, my friends and I slowly drifted apart. Brad and I were starting to become better friends. I had went on two trips that month, one was to Traverse City for school shopping, and the Great Wolf Lodge, the other was Saginaw for school shopping with my best friend Breanna. I ended up having a really good time on both trips. I added up the total amount of clothes I bought and I spent over 1100 dollars worth of clothes. It’s either go big or go home in my family. As the month progressed, we stopped talking and later just dissolved into bits of nothing. I personally regret what happened, due to the security I felt between all of us. We let it all tear down like a brick wall, and that wasn’t right. Later that month, we all went to freshman orientation. Breanna and I went together and we were talking about how fat everyone had gotten. It was from that moment on that I started to like high school. It made me feel like I was home. Many people have bad high school experiences, but it only makes them stronger. However, I feel like my high school experience so far is good, and I hope it stays that way.

As with many students I think I would like to do over my early high school years. This is not due to this moment of my life being lackluster or full of disappointment or any of those stigmas. My reason for wanting to redo my early years is quite different. The truth is that I want to redo this part of my life so that I am able to leave a bigger impact on those around me and possibly better myself as well. I am not at all disappointed in my performance in school, however, like anyone, I would just like to think if I did stuff differently, I could I have brought more benefits unto myself and possibly others as well, both directly and indirectly. I like to think that everyone is interconnected in a way to where one person’s action partially dictate

An usual personal circumstance that has affected me occurred last year. In my Algebra II/Trigonometry class, I struggled a bit in trying to comprehend exactly what was being explained. And one when we took the test, I would always make such simple mistakes or I would forget that one crucial part of the equation; making it impossible for me to completely answer the question. The first test we took in the class, ended up being one of my highest, and it went down from there. I never have been one that would study, other than just briefly looking over some notes prior to the test. I’ve always seemed to believe I do somewhat worse if I study, but really that’s just probably because it’s the period before and I trying to cram a whole chapter’s worth

A. It was hard for me and my brothers cause we only spoke creole and a like bit of English.
