While being in High School I have managed to be part of many clubs, being in honors classes, taking online classes, cheering for basketball and football, and being able to makes As and Bs and maintaining a really good GPA. I feel by being a part of all these activities I have reached my potential excellence. Being in all these activities has allowed me to become a better person. I based my high school on all of these and hanging out with my friends and I wouldn't change a thing.
I would describe myself as one of those students who always feel the need to do well in school. To me doing well in school ensured getting into a good college and being able to achieve your dreams. I participate in many clubs and sports in my high school career. By doing many different things it opened my eyes to many different aspects of high school. It gave me different skills, all of which I still need to this day. Also, by being a well-behaved student it sets up a good example for those who follow, especially when you are a leader. To be a good leader one has to be a good student. Leading is a privilege because many people look up to you and you should be able to be the best you
In high school I have learned the true meaning of being selfless and what the gift of giving is. I have spent much of my high school career volunteering at school and in the community. Many students spend their years of high school partying and hanging out with their friends, but I have dedicated myself to staying after school every day to volunteer and help the Athletic Trainer at the High School, as well as being a part of our schools community service group, Youth Core, as an officer.
I honestly wouldn’t change anything about my lifestyle or how my years of high school have gone because I am truly happy with the person I have become. I might change my freshman year only because I didn’t really pay attention like I should have. I slacked a lot my freshman year and I now realize after the rest of my years at school, it really has been a struggle trying to get everything caught up. But now during my senior year I feel like I’m doing just fine and I am making it to the end okay. I have learned a lot throughout theses last 4 years of high school, I learned that high school goes by super fast and you really don’t get chances to redo any of the years. High School is a big deal and I learned to take it seriously my sophomore
Over my high school years at Waukesha North, I have had a very diverse and fun experience. From my sophomore year when i started working and earning my own money to my freshman year when i joined marching band. High school has taught me a lot about myself and others, and i only plan to further the knowledge through my college years.
I entered high school as a little ,scared and skinny freshman. Now it is my senior year and I am still little and skinny but I changed. I am not going to be cliche and say "High School is where I found who I truly was." Actually, what I have done defined my character and reflected my true passions in life.
High school is such a different experience for everyone. We all take different paths and learn new things everyday. We learn trigonometry, how to fix cars, how to dissect a frog, and different laws in the world. The things we learn in class are very important, but along the way of expanding our educations, one will tend to learn a lot about themselves and others. For me, I feel that my high school experience was not ideal and I constantly complain about the outcome. Looking back in grade eight, I had a different plan for me. It took me up until this year to realize that although my experience was not something worth bragging about, I've learned a lot about who I am. I've learned to take chances, be patient, and
In total I would say that I liked my high school experience, though I think that I would change a couple of things that I went through, just to make the memory of high school not that dreadful. I think that my writing is very fluid, and I think that I write how I would want to read someone else’s paper. I don’t think I would want to change my style of writing just because my teacher things it’s no good, but something I would like to add to my writing is using more intricate words and being more concise with my
High school was a closer step to becoming an adult, where I was on my own and making my own decisions. This led my parents to put more pressure and
Colleges can consider high school GPA as the alternative for test scores. Almost all of the schools during admission completely overlook high school GPA. William C. Hiss, a principal investigator of Defining promise, declares “High school grades matter, and they matter a lot” (Maitre, par.2). It is not fair for many students like Ms. Casimir, a sophomore attending Wake Forest University, who scored 1580 in SAT. This was “an embarrassment” as she graduated high school “with a 4.0” (Simon, par.10). Her dreams to go to “Cornell” and “Davidson” was shattered but yet she was admitted by the “Wake Forest University which gave her full ride without seeing her SAT score and she has 3.2 GPA now” (Simon, par.10). It’s not a miracle as diligence and
My high school experiences have helped me transition into adulthood. From my classes I took my Freshman year to now, my Senior year have prepared me and taught me skills I will use in life. Many of my teachers have also helped guide me to where I am now from class lessons to life lessons. Multiple family members and friends who have motivated me to reach where I am now. As well as me pushing myself to maintain a job and to start saving money to prepare me for my future.
High school has helped prepare me for my next chapter that is coming near me. Four years of getting rid of bad habits, learning to manage my time wisely, and After high school, I plan to study at Austin Community College for a year, then transfer to the University of Texas at Austin. Because I love to work with children, Special Education is what I want to major in. I can not wait to see what God has planned for me after I receive my high school diploma. Having a strong faith makes me a better person.
High school has been a learning experience both academically as well as socially. It was a social learning experience, because I knew no one prior to attending the my high school. This opportunity gave me the chance to branch out, and find who I am and who I want to become. With this opportunity I joined many clubs such as Student Council, Inprof class, Unidos (Latino led the group), CityWide
With my senior year coming to an end, I do have to face some regrets involving my high school life. If I had a chance for a do-over, I would go back to my freshman year. I would do better in my classes in order to get higher grades than I had my freshman year. I would have studied more in order to do well in my upcoming tests that I had. I would have pushed myself to take more advanced classes in order to help me in college. Build stronger bonds with all the teachers that I had in order to ask them for advice. I would have done more extracurricular during my school year. Do things that interested me like music and technology. Taking the time to do things for my school and attending events like sport games, dances, and plays. Overall, I would
By the time high school rolled around, I found my career, personal growth, and family to be most important to me. I started to take school seriously, so I could attend college, I got my first job, connected with my family, and made the Varsity track team. For the first time in my life, I had the confidence I needed to make something of
Once a child graduates from elementary school and goes on to high school, he or she is already molded into the person he or she will be for the rest of his or her life. Sure all kids become more mature within those four years, but their values are still the same, and in some cases even stronger. In most circumstances, a child will use what they learned in the past to make decisions inhe future. High school, however, is important for other reasons as well. High school is the very last step before a student can enter the realm of higher education. Therefore, high school is essentially what prepares a student to go on to bigger and better things. High school is where
