1.Contact with members of the lower castes always reminded him painfully of this physical inadequacy

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

My first year of high school was a bit of a challenge because I did not know anyone

I began to come more and more out of my shell in middle school and 8th grade year has been the best, I’m way more mature too. Since I’m always in the plays I have always had friends in the high school so I think when I get there I will already have friends there. The only thing I’m worried about is when all my senior and junior friends will leave.

As a child I was shy, and still am, but I always tried to make friends. But that did not always go well because of the culture boundary’s that were between me and most of the other students. Many students of the same race would stick together, leaving me usually alone because of the very few Caucasian students in the schools. Spending most of my time working alone unless the teacher assigned groups. That did not change much when entering middle school. Middle school just became a bigger version of the years pasted. Spending my time feeling like I was the outsider because most people already knew each other. The first year of high school was no different from the past years, I began to gain a few friends who had classes with me. I tried to venture out and stared becoming friends with more people with the help or sports and my advanced classes. When you are a student in Advanced Placement classes you began to have classes with a smaller group of people. This was when I finally did not feel any different from the other students in my

Growing up I was known to be a very shy child. I was too scared to talk to anyone and I was very reserved. I always have cared about what people thought about me. I didn’t want to wear “boy” clothes because I worried kids would make fun of me. I didn’t even make close friends until fifth grade. When I did finally feel comfortable at school and found amazing friends, I decided to switch schools shortly after for a chance at new opportunities. It lead me to standing alone in a crowded high school while I waited for that first bell to ring, so I could head to my first period class.

At first, I entered high school not expecting much. During my first year, I would go from home to class and from class back home. I remember I was not involved in any clubs and was painfully shy.

When I started at North I thought, Okay, I’m going to try and make friends on my own. I’m going to go up to people and be friends with them. I was so excited, because I was so ready to make friends and a new home. At the moment, I never realized how wrong I was. I tried making friends, but the people there push you away if you are not a part of their “clique”(There were so many of them, too). But alas, that did not stop me. I was determined; nothing was going to stop me from making at least one friend--and I did, I made two: a junior and sophomore. They were new girls, too, who made this school more bearable and had the same problem as me: making friends. Summer came and (you guessed it) “We’re moving to Urbana,

As I went through junior high, I realized I would never be close with my best friends from elementary again. When I got to high school, I was thrown into an even bigger class with people I have never seen before, and I honestly was not sure if I would

I totally agree that high school years can make or break a child and the transition into high school can be very nerve-wracking. Especially when it's a transition like yours, going from a private school to a public school with a new environment and new people. It's awesome how you went into high school not knowing anyone, but managed to socialize with everyone regardless of their social group. There is too much pressure put on children to try and fit in, but it's best to just try and socialize with everyone and not just those who are part of the "cool" groups.

Growing up in a school where my classmates remained the same from Pre-K to 8th grade, I became accustomed to the people I was with every day. I had my own group of close friends as the years went by, and this prevented me from acquiring the skill of making new friends. When I went to high school, everything changed. I now did not have to walk in two straight lines to every class, worry if my name tag was not on, but most of all, I now had to make new friends.

Compared to today, my view of the world when I was a freshmen in high school was drastically different than what it is today. Before freshman year in 8th grade, I didn’t go out of my to talk to people. I had a really small group of friends that I always talked to and beside that, I didn’t really talk to anyone else. The reason for this was that I felt that I didn’t really have a reason to talk to anyone else since I already had a group of friends so I never went out of my way to make anymore. When I found out that I was going to Mather and that none of my friends were going, I knew I was going to have a tough. I was pretty awkward around other people besides my close friends so I knew that something had to change. I didn’t think it would be

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

As a teenager, fitting in is the important thing in high school. Having no friends on your first day is something everyone tries to avoid but knowing that my friends from primary were going to be there had made me more comfortable. But the thought of them not recognising me, judging me and asking questions was what worried me the most. As my first day had approached it was very difficult for me as I remember walking into school and seeing all these eyes stare, I felt very insignificant and uncomfortable. When I had seen people that
