It's impossible to think about things that have significantly impacted my life without considering my mother's diagnosis with cancer. It has changed the way I approach nearly everything in my life, and has led to other significant experiences. She was diagnosed the beginning of my Sophomore year, so I've had to balance home and school obligations nearly my entire high school career. I had to take responsibility and start acting more maturely, whether I wanted to or not. My mother suddenly couldn't do many things she used to be able to do, and as my father travels every week I had to step up and fill the void. Through doing this, I've become a lot more independent, and gained better clarity into my priorities and what I want out of my life.
Being a freshman is the hardest of your four years in high school. Have you ever been pressured to be the best person you can be? This is how my year was as a freshman. Freshman year was the most different I never thought I would of found my way around the school when I first started to go there. Freshman year was the best year throughout my years of high school and it was the only year I had friends. During this year I had a lot of anxieties which dealt with me thinking I’m gonna be alone and not have any friends throughout the year to support me through the whole thing. Also, I would think of the pressure of not doing good in any of my classes so I would think it would affect my GPA in the future. The transition from middle school to high school was a different type of thing to do.
It’s very surprising to be honest. If I rewind my life to the very beginning of junior year, I would have never suspected that I would encounter multiple hardships one after another, each excessively worse than the last. Yes, junior year was extremely tough domestically and socially but little did I know that my horrid problems at home would affect me academically. Undeniably it was my will power and my strong belief in never giving up which steered my grades and my life to the straight path and made me realize that mistakes happen in life for a reason, they happen so we can learn from them, so we can share our story with others and help them avoid the hardships we encountered. When I reminisce at my junior year, I don’t extract sadness or
Sophomore year was extremely difficult for me. You know how most people go through a rough patch at some point in their life? Well, that was me all of Sophomore year, everything just seemed too big and scary to deal with, and so I basically put everything off. The guidance counselors always use to say when we were going into high school that we would need to stay on top of things before they started to pile up. I just thought that they were just being dramatic to try and scare us into doing our work, but they really weren’t. By the time I realized this, however, it was a little too late, and I was faced with two options; attend summer school to regain the credit that I had lost, or face my peers when school started up again and be two credits
Senior year has been a rollercoaster of emotions and events. I got to experience things
It was the last last few days of summer before I started my Sophomore year of high school. My freshman year I applied and ran to be Sophomore class president, and I won. Before the start of school SGA (Student Government Association) had the responsibility to welcome and show new students around the school. While showing and bonding with new students I meet two new sophomores students named Ethan and Olivia. Ethan was a very attractive young man who was six feet and had nice dark hair, that was swooped to the right. Olivia on the other hand was a very short and pale girl who had orange hair that was very thin. Olivia and I both found Ethan to be attractive, Olivia made it known to me that she liked Ethan. It was the first day of school and
Sophomore year of high school was a very different experience than the other years of school, mainly because, in English class, we had to use a blog. Most of the time, I used the Chrome browser to access it, but I occasionally used the Internet Explorer browser or Firefox browser. The host of the website was Weebly.com, a company that allows people to create their own website. When we made our blogs, we included many types of essays and reviews to videos or items we saw in class. Often times, this included attaching a hyperlink to a picture or text so that it would be easier to access a certain resource. This class allowed us to learn about certain websites and how they are formatted, like a wiki. Although it wasn’t a good source, we sometimes used Wikipedia because it was the easiest to use and find information about our topics.
Freshman year was the worst year of my life. I took up toxic habits, lied to the people closest to me, and became involved in destructive relationships. However, I eventually overcame all of this to become the person I am today.
I’m not going to lie to you. This upcoming year for you will in no way be easy. Sophomore year counts, so make it one of your best. The hard work you are putting in now will be worth it in the end, no matter how harrowing it may be. You will have a successful sophomore year if you remember everything will get better, and if you live in the present along the way.
I just can’t believe there is only few more days of high school left. As the days are getting closer and closer, it's getting sad. I still remember the day I stepped into Maine East High School as a Freshman, at that time, all I wished for was to graduate from this school with good grades. High school was not the way I imagined, it is way different from what I thought and definitely different from Middle School. Freshman year was the “exploring/adventure” year, finding where each classes were, what activities/clubs were offered at this school and many more. Freshman year went quickly and then Sophomore year came up. Sophomore year was probably the least stressful year in high school but from Sophomore year my family and friends started asking me the scariest question “What are you doing after high school, which career?
As I reflect on my Sophomore year of College I am so very thankful for all the support I was given throughout this year and in my entire life. This year alone I served on the Executive Board for Spotlight, was an active member of Chapel Assistants, became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, Alpha Chapter,I am currently studying abroad in Oaxaca Mexico, and landed an internship with TheGrio in New York City upon my return! OH and did I mention that I ended the year with a 3.8.... None of this would of been possible without a village supporting...
On my first day of the freshman finding where to sit in the lunchroom was my biggest obstacle. I would randomly just sit at a table until I knew who was sitting there. Luckily for me my friends sat there. I lost my best friend my sophomore year her name was Kaci Rowe. She never had a boyfriend in her life because her parents wouldn’t allow her dating. So when she got a boyfriend she would be really rude towards me and wouldn’t want anything to do with me. I was hurt and confused. I was sitting in my room crying wondering what I did to deserve such a heartbreak. I’m a senior now and we haven’t been friends since that day my sophomore year. I also met my boyfriend during my sophomore year his name is Chandler lewis. He was always bugging me
If you had spoken to me seven months ago about my plans for my senior year and for starting my college education, my answer would be different than what it is now. Throughout those seven months, I struggled with my health, causing me to reevaluate how I would reach my goals in life, and if I would ever be able to reach these goals. I had based my entire high school career around being a “scholarship boy” and preparing myself to succeed in college. Instead of continuing this course during the first half of my senior year, I was practically bedridden; only leaving my house for doctor’s appointments. Thankfully, a diagnosis followed by the help of a few avant-garde holistic doctors, gave me my life back by enabling me to return to a semblance
Junior year was a year of growth for me. Most parents push their children to be into activities but not mine. I struggled through a lot in my life and there wasn't always time of money for activities. Also, my mom wanted me to be my own person, which I am very grateful for but, at the same time, I wish she would have encouraged me to get out there more, but I did it on my own. At the end of my sophomore year, I got my license. Hooray! A day every kid looks forward to. It changed my life. I didn't need my mom to be around to drive me around, which she never was. Being a single parent and running her own business was a hard job for her and it was a lot, so I didn't ask for much. When I got my license, I started to involve myself in everything.
Leading into my sophomore year of high school, band was the center of my life. Providing social acceptance and a sense of purpose, I could always count on the fine art to get me through the drudgery of high school. Everything seemed to effortlessly go right. I naively believed my desires would always be provided for, as I was somehow the special (albeit, shy) exception. With this idea, I felt invincible going into my first serious audition. Unknown to me, this simple, six hour event, provided the stage on which my perspective would completely change.
My Freshman Year was the toughest year of my high school career. It was the year when I gave up on everything. I was placed into classes which I believe that I did not belong in.
