Everyone always talks about how high school was so fun and you should have the time of your life, and everyone got along, but I never quite saw it. High school for me was not a time of befriending everyone, finding love, and fun times. To me, it was a confined prison, full of sweaty kids, stupid drama, and overwhelming work to do. I spent the majority of the time trying to find who I belong with, a club I fit in to, people to hang out with, and how not to be such an awkward person all the time. I was under stress constantly, for my parents forced me to focus on nothing but school, and despite me being focused on that, I wanted to try to hang out with friends as much as I could. I had to learn how to balance social life, school life, and my alone time. And what a struggle that was. Freshmen year in high school was a blur now that I look back on it. I knew nobody and nobody knew me. I was in the band, and that was my only form of social interaction. The people who were in my section, the trumpets, would talk to me and if we had classes together, they would sit by me and talk to me. These same people I saw the following year and we talked more, but I still didn’t hang out with anyone outside of school. Junior year, I was also in cross country and band, and I began to socialize more. When people made plans, I hung out with them since I had a car. I helped out my band by doing various tasks, such as setting up and tearing down equipment, as well as assisting my band director
When coming to high school you quickly learn that you have a lot more freedom than you did in junior high. You can eat anywhere on campus and hangout with any social group you won't. Finding the right social group is one of the biggest factors in high school. I found new friends and discovered new things I didn't know i would like. High school is great because it provides you with multiple sports throughout the year that junior high doesn’t provide such as soccer, cross country, swim, and football to name a few. I chose to be involved in soccer, track, and cross county which helped me find many friends. Cross country for me was filled with the people that were trying to achieve the same goals as me. If i could i would play every sport at the
High school, for many, is commonly termed as “the greatest four years of your life.” It is stopping for coffee with your friends while listening to your favorite songs on the way to school in the morning. It is staring at the clock waiting for the bell to ring to finally go to your favorite class of the day. It is staying after a long day of class for meetings, clubs, or sports, or it is spending Friday nights with your best friends performing under the football field lights. High school can be many different experiences for different people, but most importantly, for me, it was learning essential values of life while shaping me into the person that I am today.
My high school experience was overall a mixture of being scared and growing to become who I am today. When I was in my first years of high school, it was just high school nothing more. I had seen teachers as teachers and friends as friends. I just
Starting high school was a challenge. There are new surroundings and new people to please and impress. Classes were difficult, not because the work was hard but because there was nothing that was the same. New school, new teachers, and new faces to try to please were to much to handle when everything was falling apart at home As time went on, the smile face mask I had to wear everyday got thicker and thicker and it was getting more difficult to put on every morning. The only thing I would do when I got home was do my homework, read a book, maybe watch a little TV, nibble on dinner then go to bed. That was my life and that was my routine for 2 years. When I did go out with friends I would be home way to early and nothing really happened to make
High school is such a different experience for everyone. We all take different paths and learn new things everyday. We learn trigonometry, how to fix cars, how to dissect a frog, and different laws in the world. The things we learn in class are very important, but along the way of expanding our educations, one will tend to learn a lot about themselves and others. For me, I feel that my high school experience was not ideal and I constantly complain about the outcome. Looking back in grade eight, I had a different plan for me. It took me up until this year to realize that although my experience was not something worth bragging about, I've learned a lot about who I am. I've learned to take chances, be patient, and
But when you're living on your own, paying rent, seeing your friends once or twice a week instead of 5,
Things was completely different but the same. The work was harder and different from the work I had in middle school even the teachers I had was also different as well. My transition going into high school was different. It happened to be a different type of scenery and I didn’t expect for that to happen to me at that time. Being a freshman opened up a whole different world for me that I wasn’t really ready for. Going into highschool, I had friends I thought I would be friends with for my entire life. As soon as I got to high school things started to change. On top of the friends I had I also made new friends as well. When I was a freshman I had to look up to the upperclassmen to guide me and to lead me by example. When I was a freshman, it meant I had to be on my P’s and Q’s. I felt a lot of pressure when I was a freshman especially from teachers. Fitting in while I was a freshman wasn’t a good start for me because I wasn’t really involved into any school activities or
My high school years went by fast, at first I was a freshman and now I am graduating. I have always been quiet in my classes and I would sit at the very back. I was taught to get my work done before having fun and I never paid attention to making any friends. When I was a freshman I saw myself as a mature and intelligent person because I did not act like the others in my class and I hung out with the seniors. I dropped out once and I’m glad that I got chased back or I would be staying home. High school was not as challenging as I thought it was because it is boring and it is easy all you have to do is pay attention and get your work done. I have been waiting for the day I will be on my own. I would not compare my life to the books we read in class because they do not relate to me in any way.
For the majority of people, high school was a not so great. It's a time of transition and preparation for the real world. Of course, freshman year is always awkward, sophomore year is always a dread, and then junior year. Lots of people hate their junior year and I was one of those people.
I was blessed to have a friend in each of my classes. On the first day of school, I was nervous but made it. My brother walked me to my first class because I didn’t know where to begin on getting to my classes. I knew a few people in my homeroom but not many, and I wasn’t close to anyone. I got through it with a little bit of small talk and a lot of looking at my phone and writing and drawing out routes on my
High school is a time associated with many changes, that can include peoples’ personalities, friends, and significant others. My high school experience included all those changes and one very drastic change, moving to Seattle, Washington. The west coast was never a place I imagined to end up and defiantly not during high school. The summer before my senior year my family moved; that experience taught me many life lessons including life does not always happen as planned and to make the best of every situation.
High school is overrated, growing up is undervalued, and time is too short to take it for granted. While I could write all about how high school reformed me and how moments spent with friends will be my most cherished memories, I will not because I would be lying. If every teenage student was candid with themselves, I imagine they would see that high school was not what they had anticipated. Personally, I drifted into high school deeming it would be no different than any of my pervious school years; however, I was erroneous about that. High school showed me that I can learn more about life and love in any classic novel than I can by talking to anyone I know today, you will only find about two real friends, and never rely on someone else to
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.
Back when i was in middle school and i was a pretten and was barely becoming a teenager.in middle school i had just switched schools twice. Switching schools wasn't easy for me it made things harder for me. I was failing most of my classes as a seventh grader; i §had §hit a point in my life where i gave up. Then one day my dad had gone into my room and said Asmariah you need to stop doing whatever you're doing and get started on your homework and get on top of your school work
The high school experience is something that will forever dominate the psyche of most American adults. It was an unforgettable time of fun, rebel-rousing, summer loves and parties. It was a time of warm summer days at the pool and chilly autumn nights, watching the football team and wondering were the party was going to be that night. School dances and hotel parties. Seems like all I can remember are the good times. High School is a very emotional time for many teens and everything matters. The insidious problems that I had to face are but a smudge on my memory, things like too much homework, zits, mean people, gossip, and algebra. The social atmosphere that permeated every aspect of high school could
