High School Transition

Transitioning from middle school to high school now college. Hardships and victories I have experienced it all. I have gone from the shy student to one of the most involved and active student in my school.

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

Going from a middle school to high school pretty much for anybody can tend to be challenging. High school is the place where you start to mature yourself and better yourself for later on in life for whatever the future may bring. Coming from 8th grade entering into high school as a freshman depending on where you're at can be tough, you really start to realize that you are starting to have responsibilities. You may not start feeling that way in the beginning which in my case I could say the same, but it definitely comes. Converting as an 8th grader to high school you notice the teachers don't baby you in situations if it's your work or your project it's your job to know what's going on the teachers definitely won't look for you.

Going from middle school to high school can be a big challenge in one's life. From

Middle school is known as a time to mature for high school. For me, there were many changes I underwent after coming to the middle 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

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

The transition from life in high school can be problematic for the majority of students.

I’ve been through a variety of things in my life so far. I am From Yuma, Arizona my family and I moved to Hampton, SC. Following that move, we left again due to my dad being laid off from work and we found a place to live which is here in Belton.

The transition to high school from the middle school was really easy because of the great staff members and teachers in the sartell high school. The difficult part is learning your schedule and you're way around the school,

Have you ever experienced the transition from high school to middle school? Many students that go from middle school to high school are worried about the big changes in the environments. Although there are many differences between middle school and high school, there are also many similarities.

Things was completely different but the same. The work was harder and different from the work I had in middle school even the teachers I had was also different as well. My transition going into high school was different. It happened to be a different type of scenery and I didn’t expect for that to happen to me at that time. Being a freshman opened up a whole different world for me that I wasn’t really ready for. Going into highschool, I had friends I thought I would be friends with for my entire life. As soon as I got to high school things started to change. On top of the friends I had I also made new friends as well. When I was a freshman I had to look up to the upperclassmen to guide me and to lead me by example. When I was a freshman, it meant I had to be on my P’s and Q’s. I felt a lot of pressure when I was a freshman especially from teachers. Fitting in while I was a freshman wasn’t a good start for me because I wasn’t really involved into any school activities or

My eighth grade year has been a crazy year. There has been a lot of work and preparation for moving into high school. Eighth grade was my last year as a middle schooler. I am sad but also excited for what's to come. I assume that I will like high though. This year has had highs but it's also had its lows. Overall I have enjoyed this year quite a bit. I have enjoyed my whole middle school career, I guess you could say it has been fun. I am excited to move on though and see what's to come.

The high school years seem to fly by and this year is no different. As we enter into fourth marking period, it is nice to look back and reflect on all that your children have accomplished. The transition from middle school to high school is not an easy one, for the student or the parents. We hope that we helped to make it a bit easier for them. Thank you for your support throughout the school

My senior year has been one of transition. I feel like I am wrapping up college, and my classes are like the “lose ends” that I have to take care of before I move on to the next phase of my life. Although, I somewhat approach my classes as a checklist, I also am very invested in getting good grades. I have the intent to go to Law school therefore I need to be intentional with my grades and the effort that I put into how I spend my time. Which is why I think I struggle in this class. There is an intentionality to being a good student, that makes it easy to go through the motions but in this class there is an emphasis on our intentions of our intention of being a student. To me there are some things that don’t need to be meaningful and have a
