My Sophomore year of high school my teacher signed me up to take the Accuplacer for college classes, I took the test with no hope of passing. I’m the type of person to not really have hope in myself, I doubt myself way too much. it was only an accuplacer test for college classes, to some people that’s not important but to me it was, my parents had talked about this to me since my freshman year
I had “friends” telling me I was not going to pass it because they thought it was going to be “too hard” for me. Which they were right according to my score. The first time I took it I failed, I had to retry again second semester once I retried again and I passed in that moment I was beyond excited, me wanting to be in the medical field I found this
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
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
Education has always been something I have been passionate about. I love learning new things and also being around different kind of people. I learned early on my high school career I wanted to graduate high school a year earlier than my original class. Sophomore year of high school and made the decision of taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life.
It was during my Sophomore year in high school that I was failing classes like math and science. My parents and I where very concerned about what to do and what help I needed to get. So they decided to test me to asses where I was academically, and to gauge the ways to get me where I wanted. The results of this test concluded that in subjects like math and science along with reading. I was still on a middle school level, and on a fifth grade level in math yes I said fifth grade.
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.
Over my years attending high school I feel like I have grown personally and academically. I have learned to ask for help when needed and to actually get the help I need. When I was a sophomore I really did not mind getting a C in my classes but not having a C in any of my classes doesn't feel good. I now check up and stay up to date with my grades more than before. I feel like this year I have realized how important it is to do the best you can and achieve good grades. I would say that a C would really affect me but I would not try the best to bring it up.
When I was younger I thought that life wouldn’t hand me the very sour lemons until later on in life. However I was wrong on that account. In the middle of my sophomore year of high school I was diagnosed with epilepsy. My friends and I actually knew there was something going on before my parents did but we just had no idea what that was. That year I would have been able to accomplish one major mile stone in one’s young life which was to get their license, but I couldn’t get that until later. I had really hoped to have that license at 16 and be driving and having the freedom I wanted nevertheless that goal was crushed. For after an episode you must wait six months. I continued having seizures until July of that year. That was great to not have
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
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...
“The hardship and all the challenges you go through in life make you who you are,” my mother once said. Thankfully, I haven’t faced many obstacles or challenges in life yet. However, a major turning point of my life occurred when I was in middle school.
As we entered the doctor's office I had realized that everything would be better soon. As we walked in the nurse took us into her office and started asking me questions, she asked along the lines of where's the pain, how severe is it you know normal doctor things. The room was a 6x6 little tiny room, feeling smaller than ever being watched by body figures in judgement because I was in denial of my own. As we progressed throughout our conversation she wanted to do a blood test on me, as I walked into the test room a very young lady was the blood specialist she couldn't have been more than twenty. She sat me down on to hyper sanitary leather chair with cords and wires coming out of every angle, I picked up a hint of nervousness from her because
You are 14 and never have time for love because of cheer and school. At school your were always thought to be the girl who was always studying for the test the next day or tutoring the jocks. But now you've reached a new chapter of life sophomore year in high school. The next three years you were determined to be the most popular girl at your new school but still be the valedictorian of your class.
With every year that goes by, it seems that high school gets to be more stressful for students. With big stakes and college applications ahead of many of my younger peers, there also seems to be more stress and less opportunities taken towards learning. From the countless classes that I have taken over my time in high school, the ones that I did not do so well in the beginning turned out to be the ones I have learned the most from. To give an example, let me talk about my first F I have ever received on a test in my life. In my sophomore year of high school, I decided to take the infamous Algebra II Honors taught by one of the toughest teachers at my school. The class in the beginning was a struggle because I was not understanding the concepts and I was scared to ask for
I never had a freshmen year. The closest I came to a freshmen year was my sophomore year. For the most part is a blur, like a dog running through a picture, blurred. Or maybe blocked. I could imagine that my sophomore year was pretty much like everyone else's freshmen year. The same awkwardness was still there just a year older perhaps. The younger me played at least five different types of sports, year round I was in sports. After my middle school career, I said, to hell with it, and quit it all together. I played no sport, or games, in the 10th grade. The impact was good, and kind of bad at the same time. My grades slipped a couple of times, now and then, and I feel like I would have made more friends, if I joined a sport, sooner than I
Throughout middle school and my first two years of high school I approached my education with a very negative attitude, I possess a 3.079 GPA, and 1030 SAT (which I am re taking) for my school this is below average. My first two years of high school I never did homework, studied, or even really got involved. This is one of my biggest regrets. During my first two years of school I was getting Bs, and Cs in classes I could have easily been receiving As in if I tried harder. It was not until my junior year when it hit me that college was quickly approaching and schools I dreamed of going to were mostly likely unrealistic. Rather than dwelling on my poor educational decisions I decided to take action, and try harder, and study longer. This has
