Personal Narrative: What Has Delta Taught Me?

High school, for many, is commonly termed as “the greatest four years of your life.” It is stopping for coffee with your friends while listening to your favorite songs on the way to school in the morning. It is staring at the clock waiting for the bell to ring to finally go to your favorite class of the day. It is staying after a long day of class for meetings, clubs, or sports, or it is spending Friday nights with your best friends performing under the football field lights. High school can be many different experiences for different people, but most importantly, for me, it was learning essential values of life while shaping me into the person that I am today.

High school is a time of growth, knowledge, and taking advantage of opportunities given to you. Many students go through their high school experiences basing their decisions on societal expectations and status and peer pressure. I chose to take a different approach to the experience and challenged the belief of society's routine high school experience. The choices I made and the changes I retained helped me to establish and expand my individuality.

Hi Delta Group! A time where I went wrong with someone’s personality would be with a really good friend of mine. When I first met her, I thought she seemed slightly mean, guarded, and standoffish. Which is what the text describes as the 3rd property of moderator variable, as the “trait that is judged”. As I did I get to know her, and started hanging out with her more, I quickly realized she was the complete opposite. She just doesn’t easily open up to people, and she’s not the type of person to just instantly come off as friendly. Which of course is definitely understandable. I also realized getting to know her that many people that she would trust easily, and call her friend had broken her trust in one way or the other, which is why she came

The summer adventure that consisted of two college students in a large city. It was an adventures that would allow friend that enjoy photographer to not only allow them to do what they love, but to also build the bond and explore the world together. This trip wasn’t something that was planned for a few months, but instead somehow happen over two weeks. In the beginning I felt that this was going to be another dream that would never come to reality, but it did. After stepping foot off the Delta flight at JFK, that is when I realize that we really did make this trip happen. Driving through the different burrows of New York really forced the gears in my head to start shifting as I would begin to think about what type of shot I was looking to take.

Over the past 4 years, I have taken in many life experiences, and quickly grown into an adult faster than I imagined. High School has taught me so many things; like knowledge, friendships, involvement, balance, learning from mistakes, and how to grow into the person I want to become. The lessons were taught from friends, family, teachers, and coaches. I would say that my high school experience was very different than most, but I wouldn't of traded it for the normal 4 years of high school for the world.

High school…what is there to say about it? Many would tell you that it’s like a jungle of sorts, others say it changes you. Many students including myself, go through all four years of high school setting goals and standards for themselves after they graduate. Your teachers and your councilors tell you that it’s a bumpy road but “you’ll get through it”. Well I can personally tell you that high school was none of that.

Now, I am doing well, feeling challenged in my classes and have a lot of lectures who truly do care about their students. I am on a campus that offers the help I need when things get rough. It took a lot of time and years of struggling, but I made it through. Even though I hated high school and all the I experienced in those years, I’m thankful that I had those experiences to help me get to where I am now. A lesson to my teenage self: You’ll find yourself looking back on experiences when things didn’t work out and saying, “That is who I was, and this is who I am now.” High school isn’t for everyone, and it certainly wasn’t for me — but without the experience, I wouldn’t be where I am

High school is an experiment to prepare young people for the adult world. Having to come over to High School from Midlle school was a huge transformation. Having to do a great mass of home work each night, is hard. But the only hard thing is high school is knowing that you cant graduate. Being in my shoes Freshman year of High School is very hard, but I knew what to do to be successful and achieve great things.

I’ve always had it better. I had an inordinate childhood, I don’t have a fragmented family, all my adjacent relatives are still with us, and I have a roof above my head and food on the table. I’ve always had it virtuous, but I’ve come to learn all of life is challenging either way. That you will labor the rest of your lifespan, undoubtedly doing something futile that doesn’t make you content because you were required to choose your occupation at the age of 18. I was told because of this, high school is supposed to be the enjoyable part of life, but if you are a student resembling me, who is second in her class, a varsity athlete, student ambassador and forms part of almost every other club, your high school experience becomes pure pressure. This level of stress is

My mom and I loved the movie. It was neat to see a Western movie 'cause you really don't see those much any more.

Ultimately, my enthusiasm for high school depleted in a matter of weeks. It became boring, and contrary to what others have said, it was not very challenging. Students around me showed no motivation to work, therefore, that unfortunately made the environment inadequate for

Coming into High School, I had no idea what to expect. I was at a point of just starting to have to exert effort into studying and preparing for classes. Halfway through freshman year, I have now discovered more about myself, and how I must work in order to sucede.

I can finally admit everyone that told me to “Enjoy your High School Years while it last”, were right. High School flew by so fast. I can remember just some years back I couldn’t wait to start High School, Now look, I'm a Senior ready to graduate. It seemed as just yesterday we were all little freshman wondering around the hallways trying to figure out where our classes were.I can still remember how disappointed i was when I found out I had no classes with my friends, but the disappointment faded soon, cause we all had B lunch together. Anyways life move on

Throughout elementary and middle school, I thought of high school as a terrifying place, full of responsibilities and sleepless nights. However, as I went to freshman year I realized that high school was way more than that. Being in high school is not scary, nor hard; High school is just the place where all your dreams come true off of your hard work. It also has the power to make you see things around you from a different perspective, which will undeniably make you attached to everything in it. Yes, high school should always be enjoyed nonetheless; it will never cease to throw curveballs at you and you always have to be prepared to overcome it.

High school is a very interesting time in your life. These are truly the years in which you transition into adulthood and begin to have a greatened sense of self-determination. You must take this as an opportunity to explore your world and yourself. High school is undoubtedly a place to learn, and this applies to many areas outside of your classroom, and in order to learn all you can, it is best to dive fearlessly into all facets of high school life.
