My Best Experience In High School

Freshmen year was something new for me. My studies relied on me being more independently. I wasn't able to perfect my studies, only maintaining a 3.0 grade point average. It was difficult seeing new faces, making new friends; I'd only been used to a grade level of 32 kids and one teacher. Due to the fact that I lived one mile away from the school, transportation wasn't offered and my parents didn't drive during that time so, I always walked to school and back everyday. But, I tried to stay

“Average? Who wants to be average?” (Rose). During my high school experience, I went through a ton of stress trying to figure out my path to educational success. I was a decently good student with grades consisting of C’s to A’s. Dealing with problems in high school made me realize what I should had done to obtain a proper education. Author Mike Rose of “I Just Wanna Be Average” and article writer Jessica Lahey of “Teaching Math To People Who Think They Hate It” both state solutions to my problems. During high school, I was not very interested during lecture and had a love and hate relationship with math. How I would improve my experience is to do more hands on activities and to learn math in a different way.

I was terribly nervous because I did not know one single person at JM. I thought I was going to sit alone at lunch and I never would make any friends. I also thought that I would be lost on the first day and go to all the wrong classes! Surprisingly, I made a friend at freshmen orientation. Her name was Monita. Unfortunately, Monita and I had no classes together except for lunch. At least I had someone to sit with at lunch and one of my fears were gone. On my first day, I went to all my classes without any confusion. I was not lost and I made a few friends. Eventually, I began to make more friends and adjust to my new high school. I even went to the football

Most students entering into freshman year are nervous. There entering into a big new school full of opportunity and mystery. They venture out into the unknown with the fears of getting lost, not being able to make friends or having no one to sit with at lunch. My freshman year experience was very different. Instead of walking into a new school I entered the same school I had been at for the previous 10 years. I still had recess, snack time and gym class. While all my friends left to start a new adventure in life, I was stuck in middle school. Although tough at some points my year turned out to be life changing.I was able to try new things by stepping outside of my comfort zone. I also learned to thrive in new leadership opportunities. This year was a major transition in my life and learned new things about myself I never else would have learned. In this year I developed skills that have impacted my life up until this point and plan to use in my journey into college and far

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.

I never expected I’d spend the first two years of high school bedridden and suicidal. I was born and raised in Elmhurst, Queens. Attending the same school from kindergarten to 8th grade, I was used to being in the same environment. I was given assurance when my friends consistently told me that I was lucky and that I would be able to adapt to high school life fairly quickly — I was the outgoing one, the one who made everyone laugh.

1. Provide a short description of your high school experience. How have you grown/evolved from 9th grade to this point? List some of the highlights of your high school career.

My experience in high school had been rather amusing. I had a lot of friends and really considered myself one of the ‘cool kids’. I had tried so hard to fit in. The most difficult part of high school was not the rigorous AP classes or the immense amount of homework- it was ignoring others’ perception of you. I did not realize this until the middle of my junior year. My grades and relationship with my own family reflected upon my commitment to being the most popular kid in school.

The first year of high school is always scary. It is no longer going to school with people the same age, but instead going to school with people who are 18 years old. The first couple of days are nerve wracking and scary, freshman are at the bottom of the high school food chain and it is rare for people to graduate with people they came in with. It’s important to try hard in school, go to football games/school dances, stay involved, and not get caught up in petty drama.

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 was 13 at the time, I had just transferred to a new school for the third time in the past three years. I felt more and more like a nomad every year. It was my last year of middle school and I was determined to make it the best before I started school at Granada Hills High School. In the beginning I was reserved and nervous to make friends like any other new student. However, I began to make new friends, it truly felt like my last year was going to be my best year yet. When it came to actual classes, I was not the best, I maintained

Growing up I always heard adults say high school will be the best years of your life and with less than twenty days left of high school, I can honestly say they are correct. I am so grateful for the opportunity to experience high school. I have taken advanced placement classes, CLEP exams, and every honors class possible. I am in four clubs and organizations and hold three leadership roles within those clubs. Unlike you commonly see in movies and shows, I genuinely loved high school and know I will have that same passion for college. I have gained so much knowledge, skills, and friends within four years of high school that will last a lifetime. I cherish every experience and relationship that I have made in my years of high school. Of course,

My time spent at Yew Chung International School (YCIS), the school I attended in Shanghai, influenced and shaped me to recognize my key factors in deciding what high school I wanted to go to which included, the type of music programs, along with the sport teams I would like to take and participate in; thus resulting in my choice to come to Beacon. In 2013, my mother had to move to Shanghai due to job requirements. I decided to go with my mother and spend the next 18 months in another country.

Freshman year I remember walking into the school mortified, thinking that everything and anything that could go wrong would. I had never attended a Liberty-Benton School and knew about five people that would be in my grade. I was shy and quiet because I didn’t know any of the new faces. I was insecure about myself and thought that it would be almost impossible to make friends. Before high school, I went to a small, private,

Could you imagine as a freshman in high school with social anxiety sitting in a theatre class full of upperclassman and having to stand up and speak all by yourself on the first day of High School? No? Well, I can because that is how I started my four years of high school. Growing up I wasn’t much about public speaking, even trying to make new friends terrified me.Taking theatre my freshman year has been the best decision I’ve ever made.
