My Last Year Of High School

My last year in high-school. My last regional track meet. My last throw. Everything I had been working towards for the last four years came down to this very moment. On a scorching hot spring day, weary and patient athletes from all across Oklahoma gathered in Cordell around a concrete ring; watching intently as the furthest discus thrower in the region arrived at his final throw. All attempts before this had landed outside the throwing boundaries, so they did not count. This increased the pressure

time wondering what the future will be like that I neglect the present. My tendency to overthink has continuously extinguished opportunities for me. According to my science teacher I “sike myself out.” This is my last year of high school, the last few moments before stepping into the real world and I have made it my mission to diagnose the sources of this atychiphobia and nip it in the bud. Towards the end of eighth grade, my teacher, Mrs. Brown passed out this form that instructed us to choose

My last year of highschool has been both the toughest year of my life, and the most enlightening. Not only did it mark the passing of my grandmother, the beginning of my struggle with depression, and the realization of mundane adult life, but it also marked the point where I decided to deviate from the standard. Most people would look at my high school career up through my Junior year as a success. I always pursued the hardest classes in every subject, and was awarded straight A’s in both the most

Throughout the past four years of my high school career, I have been rowing crew. I fell in love with the sport the moment I walked onto the team during the fall season of my freshman year. I was young and didn’t know how to react to such a demanding sport. The captain of the team “took me under his wing” and helped guide me to success. I told him on his graduation day that I want to be just like him when I become a senior. With focus and determination, I put my head down, and strived to be as good

to manage my eating habits to lose my weight since my last year of high school because I noticed myself when I face in the mirror. It was a bad experience that I had in my life because I want to lose my weight for consider for my health as well. However, I could not follow up to balance my eating habits because I could not handle within my stress from school, workplace, and financial crisis. Also, I could not find the place to live in after I transferred into the UC Irvine last year because it

That Caused Me To Almost Miss My Last Year Of High School Soccer I remember sitting in class on my phone listening to the morning announcements and I overheard them say something about a student vs. faculty basketball game and I thought to myself how fun that would be to actually participate in it this year because I remember how fun it looked while watching the student vs. faculty game the previous year. So on the last day to sign up I went around asking a bunch of my friends if they were playing

babysitter who was in high school. I looked up to her so much and wanted to be a big girl like her and go to high school. Little did I know that when I got that old I would want to be that little girl again. With senior year beginning I’ve been getting hounded with college emails and universities calling to invite me to visit. Having to make the decision of where I want to go to college, what I want to study, and how I’m gonna make all that happen while still being in high school and getting treated

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

It was the first day of senior year, which also meant the last time I will wake up after the summer break to High School. A million thoughts went racing through my head; what should I wear? What will my classes be like? Is there anyone of my classmates that haven’t changed since I last saw them? All of these questions were going back and forth all morning long. After I finally relaxed and decided to get ready, I felt an overwhelming presence of nervousness wash over me. The thought finally struck

High School; the most rigorous and aggravating part of my life. “People say high school is about obtaining an education and pursuing acceptance into an exceptional college to succeed in life. To me high school is about building memories and marvelous times that will last forever.” High school has always seemed like something facile due to all the movies that we have watched throughout our childhood, although in reality it is a challenging and momentous part of our life. High school is about obtaining
