Personal Narrative: My Freshman Year Of High School

Sophomore year was absolutely nothing what I expected it to be; It was the complete opposite of freshman year. Freshman year I was shy and quiet. Also, in Freshman year, I was on a competition dance team and that was all I knew because I spent every day at the dance studio, and because of that, I was not very involved at school and I had no time for anything. However, I decided to quit my dance studio so I could have more of a life in High School. With my newly discovered free time, I decided to join the Speech team, the musical, and the play at Marian. I also decided to get a waitressing job at Le Peep. Thanks to these new activities, I became more confident than ever. I also found a new love of mine, theatre. Not only did I find the a new

Junior year. My junior year I realized things about myself that I hadn’t previously known. Things I’ve never done before and things people thought I couldn’t do. Situations I thought I wouldn’t be in and there I was. Junior year, I did it.

These years are kind of the fun years of high school. As a freshman I was trying everything out, all the activities, making new friends and going to the dances and sporting events.

The transition from middle school to high school was not an easy one and it was quickly apparent to me when I received my freshman year schedule. Even though middle school slightly

Freshman year I took a chance outside of my comfort zone, and that risk gave me a future in a career I am extremely passionate about. Since freshman year I have been shadowing my high school athletic trainer. I have learned how to; prevent, asses, treat, tape, and rehab a variety of injuries. However, what has fostered my interest in my major is being able to see an athlete through the entirety of an injury. During my sophomore year I was responsible for treating and rehabbing a key player on the lacrosse team. The bond I built with him was something I could've never imagined possible. I had the responsibility of preparing him physically and mentally to return to play. This meant I had to support him when he felt like he would never play as

When you enter high school, it is way different from middle school. You start to mature, which means you begin to become more intelligent. When I entered, I started focusing more on school and started hanging out less with friends. I started focusing on my work and started getting better grades. High school is important, which means I have to get good grades. In middle school, I would hang out with my friends every day, wouldn’t do my homework, and barely pass. As soon as I entered high school, it felt more difficult. Sometimes you’re just going to have

Junior year has been my most challenging year because it was a time where I balanced academics, work, and extracurricular activities. My typical days consisted of high school classes, cheer practice, diving practice, and college courses in the evening or working. My goals were to be in the top ten of my graduating class, earn a letter achievement in diving and cheer, and to save enough money to purchase a car for college. It was a time of adjustment to handle all these activities and complete the tasks excellently. I pushed myself by keeping my goals in mind every day. In the end I know that hard work will pay off. I changed how I used my time and used it more efficiently. I completed homework at school so that I could put my undivided attention

While entering high school was a petrifying year for me, I did not want to go through the next four years in fear everyday. As a result, I joined an enrichment called Chicago Voyagers. I loved being in the outdoors because I get to embrace the nature before technology has filled our minds and that is what we revolve around constantly. Also, through this non-profit organization, I get to meet new friends and gain some personal skills like leadership, teamwork, and communication. I do not want people to see me as timid and someone who does not have a voice. Even though I may still be quiet, I see myself becoming more outgoing and loud compared to my past self. When I reflect on my time in high school, I have made most of my friends because I

My freshman year of high school was a new experience for me. It was a different idea to get used to compared to middle school,. but within a week I understood how going around high school worked. At first it was a bit confusing at first figuring out how I was going to remember when and where my classes were in a day. I was scared of not being able to pass my classes at the correct standard to continue my life after high school. I feared that if I let go of one thing, everything in my personal and social life was going to fall apart. The students weren’t that scary to me. Some of them I knew from middle school and elementary school so I was a bit comfortable with that. The only thing that did scare me about other students was when they were

There is something else I would like you to know about me. The University of Florida has always been my school of choice. My father is an alumnus, and my sister is now a Sophomore. I want nothing more than to join them as Gators.

Do you believe in bad luck? I'm not talking about just walking under a ladder, or spilling table salt. Rather, sometimes in your life you just run into a tough patch and must persevere through it. This is a very good description of my physical health during my Junior year of high school. You see I broke three bones in a span of 8 weeks, and they were all during athletic endeavors. I broke my right leg playing in a football game, and I broke both bones in my left forearm playing in a basketball game.

During the sophomore year of high school, we received paperwork for the classes we wanted to take Junior year. I took a look at all the amazing classes Avon offered, and decided that I wanted to switch things up and challenge myself. I did this by signing up for two AP classes, AP US History and AP Biology. I thought it would be a great way to challenge myself, because I had never taken any AP classes so far. I also wanted to prove to myself that I was really good in sciences, because I’ve always wanted to become a doctor. This class, I thought at the time, would really open my eyes to Biology and would look great on my transcript for college. I took AP US History because a friend of mine urged me to take it. We heard from others students that the class wasn’t all that bad. We also knew that if struggled with something in this course, we could always depend on each other.

My Freshman year was one of the most surprising years I had at Euclid because when I came out of Pinnacle Academy I thought high school would be easy, but after Freshman orientation I realize that high school would be a roller coaster of a ride for me. The first day of my high school life at Euclid began August 14, 2013 lucky for me it was just Freshman and Sophomore students I was glad because sometimes your parents or family members will tell you things that aren’t true like Senior’s will stuff you in lockers, steal your money and etc but I realized that I’m a different person and I won’t be one of those students. But overall my first year at Euclid wasn’t that bad

“No matter how good you are, someone is always going to be against you. But never let them be the limit of your success” (Terry Mark). Throughout my first 3 years of high school, I was always a shy/quiet girl who wanted nothing to do with anyone. I did not want to do after school activities, I did not want to participate in class, I didn’t like going to the football games anymore since I was no longer on the cheer team and I did not want to go to school dances, all mainly because I thought about what people thought or said about me, and it bothered me… a lot. Since I had friends growing up doing things they shouldn’t be doing at their age, like drugs, partying, going out, etc., not acting like them I felt out of place, like I didn’t fit in.

Another difference between freshman and senior year is my confidence level. Knowing one's self worth is vital to having a happy life. In 2015 (My freshman year) I did not know that. I was self conscious and constantly on the verge of tears. I would stare at the ground as I walked through the hallways that were filled with what I felt were monsters who were out to get me. If anyone laughed, I automatically assumed that they were laughing at me.Was my hair sticking up? Was I wearing something dorky? Did they laugh because they could see a fat roll through my shirt? I asked myself these questions daily. I am confident in myself as a senior. It has taken me four years, but I now realize that I am perfect no matter what because there is only one being that I need to impress and that is
