What I learned in High School I started freshman year as a scared little freshman. I entered Blackfoot high school for the first time with a million little butterflies dancing in my stomach. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find my friend and would be alone. I was terrified of upper classman and avoided them at all costs. I eventually found my friends, figured out were my classes were and realized that everything was going to be okay. I wish that there was all there was to my high school experience. I wish it had been as simple as just being with friends and being able to attend classes but it wasn’t. Things weren’t always as okay as they were on that first day of school. Some days got hard and some years got harder. But in the end I have learned and grown from my high school experience. High school for me has been attending class after class, dealing with stupid kid after stupid kid. Feeling so self-conscience it was hard to make eye contact. Being bored out of mid by what I felt I was being forced to learn. Watching girl, after girl, drop everything for a boy. Staying up till two in the morning studying for a test I barely managed to get a B- on, sitting alone in the hallway. I have lost some of my closest friends. When my best friend got her first and only boyfriend everything fell apart. I know longer had a friend. She would and …show more content…
However I feel without this high school experience I don’t think I would be ready for college. Without facing my fears on my first day of high school I wouldn’t be able to move in with 5 people I don’t know. Without staying up and studying hard for a test I didn’t eve succeed on I would never had learned how to study hard. Without losing all my friends I would never have learned that it is ok to be alone. Without all these high school experiences I would have never grown
My high school experience was overall a mixture of being scared and growing to become who I am today. When I was in my first years of high school, it was just high school nothing more. I had seen teachers as teachers and friends as friends. I just
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
Dear Freshman Class of 2022, you will notice the difference between Middle School and High school. One major lesson that I have learned was to make a plan for the future. One of the positive experiences that I have gained from High school was making friends that can help me grow as a person. My advice is to try to grow as a person and prepare for the real world.
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 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.
I had people I knew in all my classes but two so I could’ve stared out a lot worse, well at least at the time I thought that. Nothing went absolutely terrible the first day except my schedule was printed out wrong and spent half my lunch trying to fix it but for some reason I hated high school already. The next day went a lot smoother. I knew where I was going and got to sit with all my friends at lunch instead of just one. In drama we play a game that involved throwing and all the boys were impressed with how strong my arm was. Also it was my birthday and I got to go home to a wonderful Georgia bulldogs football cookie cake, but no day can be all good and I got sick to the point I was unable to eat my giant Georgia cookie. When you don’t feel good enough to eat cake, you know something is wrong and so I missed day number three of the high school experience. Unfortunately the high school experience is more than just three days and I returned on the fourth day. That is where the people “finding themselves” kicked in along with girls going boy crazy and I was up the river without a
Losing friends, meeting new people, first job, first car, boyfriend, getting my license. Throughout the last four years of high school I’ve experienced a lot of new things and learned a lot on the way. I remember walking into school on the first day of freshman year; I was thinking that these are going to be a very long couple of years. I was wrong; these past four years have gone by so fast, so I guess my dad was right when he said they’d fly by.
I’ll admit it-the the first day of high school was nerve-racking, terrifying and full of surprises. I grew up watching movies and TV programs that showed high school freshman getting thrown into empty trashcans and their heads dunked into toilets. What if I couldn’t make it class to class on time? What if I was going to get shoved into a locker and made fun of? What if my schoolwork was harder than I expected? Fear overwhelmed me to no end. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew high school was an important time in my life. It would shape me into the person I was going to become and help me find what I wanted to do with my life. I was afraid of messing up and not being satisfied with the results. Adaptation alone was a stressful series of
The first few days of high school was rough but my friends and peers helped me get settled into high school. I knew our school fairly well because I’ve been here many times before. However, that didn’t ease the pain as much as I’d hoped it would. After a while I started to become less aware that I was nervous until I wasn’t nervous at all. In fact, you talk to me now, and I will tell you how great high school is now. Some things that I thought would be bad about high school weren’t that bad
Freshman year was a time full of hope and wonder. Things were simple back then. Essays only had to be two pages long, lunch was two hours earlier, and classes were definitely easier (and shorter). The outside changes were expected to say the least. I didn’t feel a difference the first day of school. Nor did it feel it the first week or even month. School was always something that came easy to me. What I didn’t expect was my changes mentally and emotionally.
My first year of high school was filled with adventures and difficulties throughout the years. Comparing to my other years, I took challenges, such as taking on sports while finding the time for my school works and achieving my goals. However, I was able to find the way and fight through my freshman year.
My life flipped for the better once I left the 8th grade, it was finally summer time and I was ready for it. But deep down I knew once summer was over high school here I come. I won't even lie, I was terrified to start as a freshman in high school. All of the rumors that I heard with baby freshman day, and all the stuff they do to freshmens on the first day of school. To be honest I was really nervous, instead of a couple butterflies in my stomach I had the whole family flying around. But once the first day of high school came up all those rumors that everyone was telling me was actually a lie. High school wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. As my freshman year went on a lot of doors opened up for me, there were sports, clubs, new people to me, everything you could possible think of. I didn't really get into sports as much as all of my friends, I was more into video games and playing outside in the woods just adventuring finding old vintage things and old buildings and all of the beautiful views. My freshman year wasn't really too special, I was too busy figuring out what everything was and where everything was located at. Then my sophomore year came along this is where I started to get the foundation of high school and blend in. everything kinda went downhill I made good grades don't get wrong, it's just I never showed up which I regret miserably. Once I got to my junior year everything is still constantly changing, a lot more people know of me. I was never
High school has been a very interesting experience for me I definitely had my highs and lows and as a freshman, I definitely didn't know how high school worked. In my freshman year of high school, I saw some familiar faces in high school. One of the toughest things was getting to know new people and honestly I stuck with only a couple people in my freshman year and their names were Rebecca and Ruby. Even when my classes got boring I still had someone to talk to. These two people I still talk to this day they never changed who they are. And in my sophomore year I took this class called general science when I walked into the class I saw so many familiar faces and I even saw Rebecca my friend from English. And in this class, we had so much drama and the reason why the class was so
During my first year, I have learned that there are many positive aspects of high school. I have 6 minutes to go to my classes, and some days I get to do whatever my heart desires. I was able to join class council, and find that I desire to be class president one day. High school has helped me get out of my comfort zone, and realize that I can be a very good leader. I have learned that I want to pursue a medical career, and help others later in my life. High school has helped me to realize who I am, and who I want to be.
As a young and naïve teenager going into high school was a struggling experience. I did not know what to think of it, nor did not know how to react to this new chapter that was begun in my life. I reflect upon my times of high school to this day and wonder I was afraid of and that
