My BGHS Career

In the days leading up to my school enrollment in high school, I wondered what this new school system would be like and if I could manage to cope and blend in with the rest of the crowd without losing my unique characteristics. Other than that, I was filled with great exuberance beginning to build the foundation of my destined career as a pharmacist at the same time increasing my skills as a woods craftsman.

The end of my Sophomore year was the worst time of my entire life and the main cause of my beliefs and ideas of myself. Depression hit me hard and fast like being in the two minute and twelve-second knockout boxing match with Muhammad Ali, but gratefully received help from my family, school, and a special someone. It played a massive role in my effectiveness in school work and social life, but that became the start of what I would call a blessing. Motivation and ambition came quickly after the second semester after months of pressure and love from others who I am proud to call family and friends.

It was the first month of my high school years, I was as nervous as an incoming freshman could be. I had no idea how long and strenuous my years at Bensalem High School would feel. As many others, I had a hard time adjusting to the transition from middle school to high school. Unlike others, though, I struggled about twenty

My freshman year summed up in one word would be growth. I mentally and academically grown to the person I am now. The transition of middle school to high school was exciting in many ways but extremely terrifying. It took me a couple of weeks to memorize my schedule. Getting around the school was quite frustrating too. Thinking back into freshman year, I’m shocked at how much I have changed and how different I see my surroundings. I thought that it was going to be the same drama as in middle school but it turns out everyone here just go their

When reflecting on my experience writing, editing, and completing the culminating journal assignment, I found that it was fairly easy considering how this was an emotional, opinion based paper. This paper probably took me about three hours to complete because I had to thoroughly reminisce on what I had learned this semester. However, after taking a look over my journals, I found substantial growth in myself since the beginning of the school year. A specific challenge that I overcame when writing this paper was procrastination because I finished it as soon as I got it assigned. Additionally, I feel this paper highlights my intriguing flow and unique style of portraying ideas. Accordingly, I am most proud of how I elaborated on specific journals and thoughts throughout this paper. Overall, I hope to grow as a writer in the future by attending meetings at the writing center and asking teachers and peers for advice. In the end,

Many people struggle in high school. I’m doing alright, and I’ll tell you why. I’ve decided to focus my essay on what steps and tactics I used to have a good high school experience, things that I also plan to use in college. I’ll sum it all up in 5 steps too. If you think I deserve a scholarship, hey I’ll take it. If not, life goes on.

The most significant challenge I’ve faced is losing my dad to leukemia in 2012. Many complications followed, such as losing legal guardianship from my mom, which required my four sisters and I to take care of ourselves. My dad was an anchor for the family and tried to provide the best he could. Although his passing tore my family apart, my academics never ceased. I recognized myself as a disciplined individual who never gave up because I know my dad would not expect that. He made sure our homework was done, the house was clean, and our grades were maintained in order to go out. He raised my sisters and me to never settle for less and to push above our expectations. My dad always reminded us that we could accomplish anything we wanted with determination.

Freshman year was the worst year of my life. I took up toxic habits, lied to the people closest to me, and became involved in destructive relationships. However, I eventually overcame all of this to become the person I am today.

Stepping on to my high school’s campus for the first time, I felt a little nervous, a bit excited and very clueless. I rushed to my friends who were conveniently standing near the entrance; almost as to feel safe. The transition from middle school to high school meant very much to me. I entered high school knowing that it was my chance to finally work towards reaching my goal of attending college; it was the chance life had privileged me with. Looking back it all now, It was a change I didn't feel prepared for, yet, I regret very little and glad I worked as hard as I did.

Like most high school seniors I’ve worked extremely hard in the aspects of being involved with extracurricular activities and doing academically well to the best of my ability. During my sophomore year, I learned how to overcome my most difficult obstacles. Whether it be my dad losing his job and having to pick up hours in the new family business to help support my parents finically. Or to preserve academically, pushing my way to the front of the classroom rather than slacking off and proving that I was more than capable of keeping up with my peers when some teachers just didn’t believe in me.

Do you keep a journal? Do you even write? What kind of grades did you get in high school? What kind of grades do you get in college? Writing papers has always been a difficult task for me. In high school is when the difficulty become noticeable and my English grade dropped tremendously. Once I got into college my writing skills did not get any better. College became a hard and I was blaming it all on my English classes. The first part of this essay is going to be about my high school writing career and what I did to pass high school. The second part of this essay is going to be about my journey in college writing and what I have done to help get through the English class and the formal writing. Writing has never been a good subject for me, in fact I have struggled since high school so when I got into formal writing all I wanted to do is curl up in a ball and cry. The first part of my essay is about my high school writing career. The second part of this essay is my college writing career and the obstacles that I have ran into and how I have gotten this far.

Coming into High School, I had no idea what to expect. I was at a point of just starting to have to exert effort into studying and preparing for classes. Halfway through freshman year, I have now discovered more about myself, and how I must work in order to sucede.

This year was a major stepping stone as i have began transitioning into a more independent adult, one my proudest achievements. In my second semester of junior year, I was given the task of taking the SAT and to start thinking about where I should further my education after high school. Another important milestone for me this year was finally passing my road test and receiving my driver's license. Despite the heavy amount of stress these tasks put on me, I was definitely pushed as an individual to complete them on my own, teaching me self

I really like the flexibility of writing this paper. The topic is very broad so I could write basically on anything that I want. As a writer who likes to do creative writing, I enjoy reminiscing memories before writing them down for the essay; I felt various emotions - joy, happiness, anxiety, fear - as I write the paper. Being able to write down your life story for others to read is a wonderful thing to do and I really enjoyed the process of outlining my experiences and crafting them into an emotionally powerful essay.

One major challenge that I believe I have faced is learning how to drive. This was a significant challenge to me because it was a really nerve racking experience. Most of those nerve racking moments were when my father took me out for driving lessons because of the stress that he will put on me while I was driving which made it more difficult to concentrate. Methods I used to overcoming this challenge were to calm myself down and to not put so much pressure on myself. With the stress that my father was putting on me and the amount of pressure I already had with not trying to make an error was already a hard enough challenge for me. Eventually once I got the hang of driving and the nerves went away and there wasn't so much pressure on me
