High School Problems

Middle school to high school is a big jump from not only school to school but also new people coming into our school, harder academics, sports are now a part of your school life, and a jump from school to school. My thoughts on high school have really changed over the past few weeks. When I first realized that we we're going to be in high school shortly, I got a little freaked out. Although I know alot of high schoolers and specific people that go to West I still feel overwhelmed by the fact that i'm going from a 600 person school to a 1,200+ person school. For the longest time I felt if high school would be the hardest part of my life and getting accustomed to the new setting would be hard for me, I thought the people there we're mean and

Challenges and obstacles are life defining moments in someone’s life that teaches them skills and responses that they can utilize and build upon for the duration of their lives. I would not necessarily call my challenge a moment, I would call it a period or season of my life where I had to learn how to cope with the many personalities of high school students, and differentiate who I would consider my friends. High school is a very stressful environment and peer pressure is very prevalent. Not only is there the fact that you may not attend a high school in the same town as you live, but inevitably, it thrusts you into a world of people you may not even know.

I was not always so outspoken and driven to get good grades. Freshman year I was timid, struggled with my grades, and had no idea what the future looked like. Now, I have found exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life and became much more confident then I was freshman year. Along the way I have even made a decision to switch schools. I have transformed a lot along the way from freshman and sophomore year at Portsmouth High School and finishing off at Rogers High School.

First, it is easy to get distracted by things like relationships, drama, and hanging out with friends, but students should always make school their first priority. Switching from the middle school to the high school is a big step, because there is a lot more

I transferred to a different school in my fifth grade year. In the beginning, I was happy to

At many state legislature meetings, the issue for driving has been brought up. The citizens of the state legislature want to consider a bill that would require a person to earn a high school diploma before he or she could receive a driver’s license. This may be a good idea to some people, but many disagree with this statement of law enforcement.

Let’s jump ahead again, this time to my first day of school. Morris Knolls High School is one of the top high schools in the US. Their curriculum is rigorous and their standards are sky high. Also, this was a completely new environment for me. I didn’t know how high school worked and this wasn’t the type of town I was used to. Living in suburbia and attending a school with different demographics than I was used to scared me. I now lived 30 minutes away from everything I grew up around. But the thought of having a fresh start excited me. No one knew me, I was a nobody and therefore free to completely change myself.

I spent eighth grade and my freshman year in a school Called Guajome Park Academy or, GPA for short. Before I went there I was really nervous because it was the first High School that I have been to and it was a brand-new school also. My parents have been saying that I will be fine because I can fit it pretty well, but when I got there I never really fit in with anyone.

Changing from a private middle school to a public high school was definitely a huge adjustment for me. Starting in high school was already a big enough adjustment, but switching to public school meant more obstacles for me, such as meeting new people, different types of rules and a new class schedule. The biggest obstacle for me was to understand all the different options for each class. In private school, the teachers never explained to me what AP and honor classes were or how it could help improve my transcript for applying to college. It was not until the end of sophomore year where I completely understood that AP classes were for college credit, but by then it was too late for me. I had already taken multiple classes that I could have possibly

At my previous school, I had good grades, was a strong multi-sport athlete, and had a ton of friends. When my parents transferred me and my brother to our new school, I struggled in the classroom, was an average athlete, and had no friends. I didn 't excel at anything anymore and all of

When I came to The United States of America in August 2010, I came as an international student and in September I started school at Mount Wachusett Community College in Business Administration Major. The first semester has been really challenging. The new language which was English and new academic system were challenging me. That first semester I completely failed. The second semester I tried my best to improve myself and I retook some of the classes I failed in the first semester. But it was not really enough. It is on my third semester that I really did well in all my classes. I could be more comfortable with the school system and with the professors. I was able to communicate effectively in English. After those three semesters, at the end of

There are many problems I have in my life but the most important problem I am facing is trying to graduate while being pregnant. Yes I understand that most people would think that my life has made a turn for the worst but me I feel like everything happens for a reason although I did not plan this whatsoever I still have to do what I have to do to provide a supportive life for me and my new edition. This is my senior year and some may say this should be the easiest year but for me it is the most important year. I have to make sure I stay on track with my gpa, my grades, my credits, etc. Having a baby at my age does not make that easier. I have doctor’s appointments during school hours since our school gets out so late so it’s hard for me not

Studying is hard, finding the time or the place to study always isn't right and even when found its hard to concentrate when you are thinking of so many other things going on in your life. It's one of those things that you don't think of until it's too late or you try to convince yourself of not needing to study . Having the ability to adapt to a new environment is very hard for someone like me, being an anxiety prone person it's hard to meet new people or have courage enough to speak my mind and or speak at all , just be myself. That being said, I don't do well with change, it's so difficult for me to express myself and be able to communicate what I want, and usually a teacher or a student may say to get over it or get used to their class, and those things are usually the things that push me back a

1. Family problem – family issues affect students performance in school as students are not cognitively developed but psychologically,emotionally, or affectionately developed too therefore if they are in a bad state or when family issues such as child abuse,sibling rivalry and many more are burdened on students there is the possibility for the student to flop especially in a case where the student is an excellent child.

High school is full of many twists and turns and no one knows exactly what's going to happen in high school. There can be many things that can help to have a simple high school life but there is also things that can make it harder. I am going to be talking about three of my hardships I have faced during high school.
