Personal Narrative: My Year Attending High School

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.

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

Back within seventh grade towards the start of the school year I was put into a course called "Advanced Art" and I sat with a friend. My friend, Javier, wasn't suppose to have the class so he was sure to leave within weeks. During the time with him I noticed this big group of friends that seemed quite interesting to me. Around the time when he had his classes changed the song "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus came along and I drew a funny picture about it. I introduced myself into the big group and at first they seemed off about me but then they accepted me, especially this one girl named Tiffany. We had a few classes together so we would sit together and this was a start of a story of best friends.

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.

Throughout my four years of high school i have experienced many challenges that either set my down or brought me up. As a young adult, i feel like there is so much more to learn ahead of me, other than, learning how to solve a math problem or the history behind many of our countries treasuries. For example, in the article “Into Thin Air”, Krakauer explains, someone who sees the summit would be dead set on getting there and be “very difficult to turn ..around…”(226). Similarly, i have struggled with many things, such as, beating sleep to be able to finish assignments on time and sacrifice my time with my friends and family because i would be in such hurry to finish something that would change my grade drastically the next day, but see my

Most kids dread the thought of going back to school, but that is because of all of the time, stress, and homework, but they don’t realize how much of an impact school will have on their lives. Many kids don’t take school seriously, and may even drop out. The four years of high school are some of the most important years of everyone’s life.

The most significant challenge I have faced in my whole three years going on to four years of high school would be these last couple years in making a difference in my education. Trying to juggle being a brother, role model,honor student, and a athlete can be quite difficult. At times I feel pressured on being the older brother, so it becomes a challenge in always trying to be the best role model that I can be. However, I remember a time my grades consequently dropped slightly and my father attended with me for a parent conference, unfortunately he wasn't in the best of moods but he set me straight at the beginning of middle school so i wouldn't be who i am today if it wasn't for my father putting me straight.

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

Two years ago, my dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness and since then my whole life has been in a constant state of high stress. At any given moment, there is something that I am worried about. His diagnosis occurred at the time that I was starting the college application process. The last two years of high school for me were some of the most stressful years of my life thus far. Getting through high school and into a highly-esteemed university like UC Davis says to me that I am fully capable of dealing with high stress situations. I have learned to take everything life has thrown at me one at a time. Trying to handle too much all in one moment is not easily accomplished. Rather, breaking down everything into individual problems

Something I chose not to do probably could have made my time in highschool much more fun and exciting. I decided not to get involved more in high school, maybe it was cause I was nervous to try new things, and it’s made me wonder what else I could have experienced. nI also think that maybe it would help me get into the college I want to go to if I got more involved. However, I also really like how my high school years are going for me now, but I feel as if it could have been better.

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.

Junior year, we finally had a place to live in. My older brother moved out, his friend and his family moved out, and my younger brother had decided to go live my dad. Life seemed that it was going to finally settle down and be easy for me. That was when I opened that letter saying my rank and decided that I finally had the ability to put in the work that school needed. Throughout junior year I pushed myself as hard as I could. I learned how to study, I took as many AP classes as I could, I put my entire focus into school. In a year and a half (including first semester senior year) I went up 8 places in rank while the overall population of school grew. My GPA went up .7 of a point. My grades were better than ever. While all of my friends were

Not everyone has memories from there junior high years, memories sadly aren’t great I wasn’t considered the best student in the eighth grade, I was always in the office, suspended, and in In-school suspension other than being in trouble all the time my eighth grade year was the best.

In the years of my high schools years. I have a average GPA of a 3.0 during my four years of high school. I had struggled in my Junior in Math class it was called Intg Math 3 when the semester end I Finished the class with a F. I will take the blame because I did not ask for help because I was confused and did not want to have people look at me stupid. But now after learning my lesson I learn I should ask question if I’m lost. I now learned that as a part getting older and being a senior you should ask your teacher questions if

The ring of the last bell echoes in the soon to be flooded halls. The last time I’ll see the walls of lockers full of secrets and rumors from the people you thought were friends. Will I miss the fake friends? The arrogant boys? The teachers who don’t help you when you really need it? Now that I get the opportunity to go to college, I will never look back to those high school days.
