My first day of band freshman year, I remember sitting in the seats of the auditorium while the band teacher, Mr. Greene asked me which instrument I play. I’ve played so many in the past, but I decided to tell him “keyboard” over all the other instruments I had played. This was what brought me to the percussion section where I had to learn instruments I had never even heard of before: frame drums, cabasas, and güiros. I had to put myself out of my comfort zone to help the band as a whole in concerts
high schooler. Such as my first year playing on the Wahlert Freshman Baseball team, talking to upperclassmen, my first year playing on the Wahlert Freshman Basketball team, or all of the times cheering in the Wahlert Volleyball, Football, and Basketball Eagle’s Nest. But, one experience truly stands out in particular, the school-wide pep rally for homecoming week. As a freshman, in my first year in high school, you could imagine that I would be pretty confused in the first month at Wahlert. I didn’t
movie is continuing to help me deal with my journey of being in high school. I relate to Perks of Being a Wallflower because I was a scared freshman, watched my senior friends graduate, and now I am the older sister to a freshman. My freshman year was an insane year, but I found this movie to help me through it. The main character, Charlie, was starting his freshman year too. Just like him, I was already counting down the days until graduation on my first day of high school. I was terrified of what
This year, as a high school freshman, I was blessed with a amazing opportunity. I was moved to varsity during my freshman year. That usually never happens unless your team is down or you're really good. Our varsity team had many injuries causing me to be moved up to varsity. Playing varsity humbled me and showed me that hard work does pay off. From this experience it encouraged me to keep working to be the best player i can be in these upcoming years. The day I was told I would play varsity was
When people used to tell me that high school would be the best four years of my life, I never seemed to believe them. Looking at where I am today makes me believe them when they say that high school will also be the fastest four years of my life. It is crazy to even think that just yesterday I was mentally preparing myself to walk into the doors of Lasalle Peru High School, and today I am mentally preparing myself to walk out of the doors of Streator High School. Time truly does fly when you are
Freshman year vs Senior year are different but are kind of the same in a way. Although, they both take place in high school they are totally different years. Everything is different from freshman year to senior year, you change as a person and learn many things. Freshman Year and Senior Year are both very stressful years of high school. Freshman year I made new friends because I was at a new school with some new people. I also tried to make sure my grades stayed up because now that I’m in high school
the polar world of high school. Everything from tests to friends, has the potential to send one spiraling as they attempt to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings freshman year. Take some advice from me, I was once a freshman and somehow lived to tell the tale. Anterior to when a school becomes “in session” one should prioritize attending freshman orientation. Orientation has the capabilities to provide basic information that is relevant for the whole year, as well as throughout an entire high school career
experienced changes as I went from an immature freshman to a developed junior. Most of these changes were beneficial, while others were not. Nonetheless, I feel as though I have transformed into an independent person with the changes I have made in my life. Heading into my freshman year, life was going great; a majority of my friends were going to Hercules High and I had just come back from an amazing trip around the Caribbean. When the first day of freshman year came, I was simply overwhelmed with all
but these songs work because they are so relatable to not only my life but many others. The song “Fifteen” by Taylor Swift, takes me back to my freshman year of high school every time I hear it. This song makes me think of my first day of high school, my first “love”, and friends. When I was fifteen everything seemed so easy, school, my friendships, and my relationship. Little did I know when I was fifteen and just a freshman, that my life was going to change forever. I remember walking into Assumption
LINK Leaders was extremely helpful when I was an incoming freshman, so I want to make the new students feel as welcome and as comfortable as I did. Throughout the year, it gives the freshman a familiar face to see in the halls. I really enjoyed getting to know my group of freshman and being a LINK Leader for a second year will give me the opportunity to get to know new underclassmen and connect with them. If I were a superhero I would want my power to be able to see the future. If I was able to see
