How Is 2020 Treating You?

Students who are becoming freshmen often ask “what’s it like to be in high school?” High school is not what you think. Freshmen don’t get pushed in lockers, there's not that one popular girl who shoves other students books out of their hands, and the cafeteria is not the most embarrassing place to be. High school is not an amicable. If you really think high school is a amicable place where students smile at each other, think again. Here is some advice from my high school experience.

A lot has changed since freshman year. I moved to Oak Ridge, so my father and I could be with the family. I switched to Oak Ridge High School and struggled tremendously, but most importantly, I made friends that needed me. Although my trust issues are still very much a problem for me, I’ve learned to cope with them by surrounding myself with people that I love. My heart continues to swell every time I

This year had its ups and downs but I would never trade it for another freshmen year because all of the obstacles form our personalities and life is ten percent problems and ninety percent trying to cope with them so whenever I think I can’t do anything I remember that in my freshmen year, I got first place at state for a pantomime, got second place in Boston for Show Choir, made twice as many friends as I have in my whole life, and managed to keep my old friends in the process. I would say that this year would be my best year since

Being a freshman and trying to keep up with the new schedule and having all theses new classes is hard. Then you have to deal with seniors and juniors who act like they know everything because they're a grade above you, guess what we're about the same age. When I was in sixth grade you were an eighth grader, still only a couple years apart so what changed? The school? Whatever it was it slowly getting fixed everyone is starting to get nicer and helpful. One thing I want to accomplish is to be nice and friendly to everyone. I don't want to treat people with disrespect because I was raised better than that, I have manners and that is what really shows. Now if we talk grades, I'm just trying to get through

My name is Amira Huerta, I am 18 years old, in my spare time I like to read and listen to music. This is my first year at AWC and I am majoring in Exercise and Wellness, I plan to transfer to ASU in two years to further my studies in becoming a Physical Therapist.

With a new friend, Labshel, she was able to introduce us to her friends. Gaining friends with the help of other friends and my socializing skills I was able to create a big group of them like those seen in movies. Our group of friends consisted of a funny, jokester, shy, outgoing, wild and smart friend. As my first year of high school went by it was an exciting ride with many crazy adventurous. Learning new academic skills such as Algebra 1, Living Environment, Global 1 and much more it helped me expand my mind to new things. Starting as a nervous and worried freshman I ended the year with gaining new memories and friendships. Freshman year made me realize how amazing my next three school years were going to be I was ready for this new journey in a total new school with new people and new friends. High school was nothing like I imagined, it was an amazing year for me and I was so glad everything was going good. Freshman year was both stressing but fun and i’m so glad I was able to experience it with such amazing

I care for others; aid to people’s needs, am always there to lend a helping hand and willing to lead others. I am a hard worker and love working with others especially my peers. My upbeat attitude will shine through and radiate through the freshman as they walk through our halls. My positivity and optimistic attitude will encourage them to make their high school experience the best it can be. My big heart will help them feel like they are at home, and that we are one big family. My leadership will encourage the class of 2020 to become leaders for our school. Freshman year can be nerve-racking, but just as my LINK leaders made me feel freshman year, I want to help the incoming class of 2020 to feel as comfortable as possible. Along with encouraging them to make the best out of their experience at Viator, I will encourage them to get involved with our sports, clubs and activities we offer because there is always something for everyone. We are all in this high school journey together and I want everyone to be able to be as successful and feel as a part of our Viator family as possible. I will always look after every freshman and take them under my wing because I know how much it means to have someone pave the way for

When comparing my life and personality as a freshman to my current life, there are many differences. As a freshman, I was unmotivated and immature. Going into highschool, I wasn’t prepared or used to doing a lot of homework. In elementary and middle school I had been one of the smartest kids in my class, and school was easy. Then when I started 9th grade, I realized I actually had to put effort in my work, so I didn’t. Freshman year I was mean and rude to those around me, including my friends and teachers. I remember myself as loud and obnoxious, and I didn’t really care about other people’s feelings or how my actions would affect others. When I reflect on what I was like, I see myself as the few kids in my PGC group who don’t pay attention

Hey Vincent, It’s Joe Krisciunas. College is pretty cool, I like my school and my dorm mates, though I definitely miss going to Friday night magic, tell Damien and Jackson I said hi. I got my Kingdom Death stuff as well as the next few Time Stories expansions, I’ll make sure I bring them over winter break. If you have your painting stuff, I’ll let you paint any of the miniatures, we should try out that stone statue painting style, it looks really good. How has life been? Where are you thinking of going to college? I know you were looking at Case Western, I have a friend who goes there and he really likes it. If you visit contact me and I’ll see if he can meet you and give you some insider information.

Tomorrow is my first day of high school as a freshman. Excitement is taking over me! High school is going to be the best four years of my life! ~ Amber Aug. 26th

I have come a long way since the days where I was that quiet and respectful freshman who despised my cocky and immature counterparts.

Senior year has been bittersweet. On one hand I’m glad I’ll be done with high school. On the other hand though, I’m not quite ready for adult life. Senior year has probably been the best of my four years in high school. I liked getting more involved in school this year. I joined more clubs, and have joined big show. Before I never used to do so much in school. I don’t know what changed this year, but I have had a lot of fun with the different clubs and activities this year.

I’m still fairly quiet, but it’s no longer out of fear and nervousness, I just don’t feel the urge to talk as often as others. I prefer to listen and observe. I’m still considerate with what I say, but not excessively so, as I was before. I also still read a lot, but it’s for pleasure now, not to avoid talking. Now, you might ask, “How do I know you won’t regress back to how you were in middle school?” The truth is that I can’t tell you with 100% certainty that I won’t. However, what I can tell you is that I strongly dislike how I was in middle school and will do everything in my power to not have it repeated. Which means, I’m going to be involved in the school as much as I possibly can without overburdening myself or causing my grades to suffer, but I was going to do that

High school sucks. New school, new friends and it just happens to be two months into the year. How am I going to survive? It is your typical high school. The typical ‘mean girls', your typical ‘jocks' and your typical ‘nerd'. Where am I meant to fit in? I want to be in a group but I hate mean girls, I'm not very athletic and not very smart. That might mean I have to be friends with the nerds. Who would want to friends with the nerds? The first class of the day and I've made two new friends. They're the best. I was so confused where I had health and they helped me there and it was the worst lesson in my life. Lets hope this year goes fast. Lunch. How can explain this? It was strange. I was walking to my new friends and this really strange guy

When thinking about how to introduce myself so that you can gain a glimpse into who I am, I knew I needed to talk about how my life has changed during high school. I had the courage to change schools in my senior year and have grown from the struggles I experienced in my prior school.
