Personal Narrative: My Experiences In High School

I really try my hardest in school to get the knowledge that I need to prepare me for college and for my future life after college. There are times in school that I really don't like the teacher that I have and would think that they might give me a bad grade just because they don't like me. Then after a couple days when I am on top of my class my attitude towards the teacher changes and so does my grade but don't worry it changes in a good way. There were times where my grade went down quite a bit because i got sick really bad. Even though I was sick I still tried to go to school so I don't get behind in my classes and miss school just from some dumb head ache or stomach pain. When I did get behind I always still caught back up with my work and

So let’s go back to freshman year where I was extremely lost I didn’t really know much about high school and really didn’t have anyone in my family to really help me either. Can you believe i didn’t know what the hell was a GPA and all through my freshman year and during that time my grades weren't very good and I didn’t really regard my grades as long as i was passing i thought i was doing good and that led me to finding about that grades affect my gpa and long story short after freshman year when i finally googled what the heck was a gpa all throughout sophomore, junior and senior year i fought tooth and nail to get the grades i’m getting today. So sophomore year comes and i’m pretty sure i was just as shy as was last year but i’ve made

I am very proud of the grades I have received throughout high school. Getting good grades has never been a problem or a struggle for me. I tend to understand things very quickly and if I don’t, I don’t hesitate to ask to clarify. There has only been one bad grade that I’ve gotten throughout my high school career. This was in 9th grade P.E, I had ended that semester with an F because I got a sports related injury and wasn’t able to do much. I had to make up that with taking one semester of Lifetime Sports. In my family we take pride in everything we do and accomplish. But as of now I went from a 2.0 to 3.4.

Like as stated before I have maintain my grades, I have all A’s and that makes me feel great. I’m ended off my first ever semester in Middle school with all A’s. Some classes have been harder than others but I have always tried my best

The last semester was really good because some classes were fun but the other classes were okay because it was really boring.The classes that I am doing really good is all my classes but biology and cultural geography class because I didn't do my work in class because I really didn't care about my grade but now I do my work because it is important because if I don't pass the classes I am going to fail in my classes because if I don't work I am not going to be promoted.I am doing my work and doing homework because I really care now but I know I made a mistake when I started school because I didn't do any of the homework or work in class I would get distracted easily.I am most proud that I got my grades up and I have a 2.00 gpa because I have

It all started in math class, it was a Monday and we had a test on the summer packet from math 2. I didnt study, but nobody did so I thought I was okay. Last year in math 2 I got an A, and I thought it would just be the basic curriculum, nothing advanced. When she handed out the test I was confident thinking it was gonna be easy, but was I sadly mistaken. It looked like material I had never seen before. I thought I was screwed, but the farther into the test I went, the more I started to remember. After about 45 minutes I thought I did pretty decent. Yet, I was nervous to get the grade back. I left class that day with my friends talking about how we all thought we made a 50 on it in a joking fashion.

I used to have good grades, but then I got too into things like clubs and jrotc and home life got really serious and stopped coming to school. I got really good grades freshman year but then when coming into sophomore year I barely came to school for multiple

Throughout my four years of high school I have maintained about a B average and have had comments from teachers saying that I am a “conscientious student.” My most difficult subjects have been any science class or the 2 AP classes that I thought I was strong-minded enough to take. The first semester of my freshman year, I had straight A’s; then, the next semester I fell off and my straight A’s weren’t so straight anymore. My sophomore year, I had a lot of trouble with my biology class, and had a D the first semester, but raised it second semester. My junior year was probably the most stressful for me. The AP classes that I took were more than I could handle. This year I’m not taking a math class, an AP class, or a science class which has probably helped my GPA so much. I am much more satisfied with my grades this year than I have been in the past. My grades have taught me that I

Throughout my high school years my grades have been up and down honestly. My freshman year was not the hardest but also not the easiest. I struggled in English 1p for a while, however, my english strategic class had helped me very much as well with my grade in my English 1p. High school has been a challenge overall trying to keep my grades up, my junior year was the hardest year for me throughout my high school years. I have never been the best in math for as long as I could remember and I struggled with learning all of the formulas. To help try to bring my grade up I then started attending tutoring which helped somewhat, the most that helped me was writing down more notes and studying a lot more than I was. It has now came to my

Throughout my 4 years of high school, I am happy to say that I am proud of my grades I have acquired. Along the way, however, I found difficulty in only 2 of my classes. The first class was my sophomore year in ag biology. I had a hard time getting through this class and finished off with a D+. Next was my junior year in my Math 3 class where I struggled all year but ended the year with a satisfying C. With my struggles, I learned valuable skills such as perseverance and a never quit attitude that will help me down the road in my education after high school.

After my laptop was killed I got another laptop and I still have that one today. I started high school and it was the first and only year I have failed a class. I wasn't able to keep up with the memorization in history so I failed 6 100% or 0% tests. I also failed the first semester of English, this was just because I was slow at everything I did, and I still am. I also could not do the geometry proofs, they thought it was because honors geometry was too quick. I would have done just as bad if I did the proofs in regular geometry, but they still moved me to regular

“One can choose to go back to toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again”(Abraham Maslow). At the beginning of the year I was very confident, having straight A’s last for first and then almost for the second year due to one class that I had a C for who wouldn't be confident. Everything was going well both personal life and school life, but then as the year proceed many things started crashing down with personal things and with my family. All the stress I had been dealing with made me lose focus and made my grades drop. Not to mention that I was busy with many things making me have to skip school

When I was younger my academic history was pretty good. I made A’s and B’s throughout time. When I got to 4th grade that's when my grades started slipping. 4th and 5th was when I struggled the most I struggle in history and math. Once I got into middle school my grades started getting better and I went back to my regular grades A’s and B’s.I knew that it was time to help myself up so I worked really hard to get good grades in 6th grade. Throughout middle school I did really well I was proud of myself on how well I did. Then I went into High school which just shooked me up. I didn't believe high school would have such high expectations and the amount of work we get is very significant. Of course I'm still trying my best to maintain my grades

As my high school career comes to a close I often times sit back and reflect on moments where I failed to succeed or didn't live up to the expectations put forth by myself or my parents. The failure that often think back to is my report card from freshmen year. All through middle school I always received high marks and success in the classroom was something that came easy. I fully expected that trend to continue as I began my high school career. However, this was not the case in the slightest. Upon receiving my first quarter report card me as well as the rest of my family were stunned to realize that I had not performed up to my usual standards as my grades were much lower than anticipated. Though initially shaken by this news, I was confident

When I was in high school, school was not at the top of my priority list. I was an average B/C student, with the occasional D. My parents were going through a very rough divorce which took a very strong toll on me. I graduated high school with a 2.37 GPA. I was, by some miracle, accepted into Eastern Michigan University. Starting my freshman year there I knew I needed to change my mentality towards learning and actually initiate an effort. My first semester I finished with a 3.90 GPA, making the Dean's List, something I haven’t accomplished before. During my second semester a very close family friend committed suicide. I took two weeks off to be back home with my family during the hard times. Sadly, I let my GPA fall slightly to a 3.70. However, I still made Dean's List and was infatuated with happiness. I finished my freshman year of college with a cumulative GPA of 3.80
