School Life In High School

The first three months of junior year were very stressful and I’ve never been under so much stress before and it became overwhelming. I missed my parents and it was hard for me to live

After I graduated from middle school and entered high school, I experienced numerous changes throughout my learning and education. During my freshman year of high school, I was able to apply the skills, concepts, and knowledge that I learned throughout my years in middle school, which allowed me to gain success as a student. I

A lot have people have been nervous about their freshman year but eventually we all make friends and end off the year with a lot of great weird and sometimes depressing memories.

I think that I was not excited to be a senior at first because of how overwhelming applying to college is and also applying for scholarships. I actually feel less stressed as deadlines are becoming more of a reality now because I realized there is no reason to stress out and everything will work out. I definitely know that my mom is not excited that I am a senior especially since my sister and I will be her first to graduate and go off to college. Looking back on high school so far, there is not a lot I would change. Most would think that I would say all the AP classes that I took, especially last year, but I am glad that I challenged myself because I feel like I will be more prepared for college. If there was one thing I could change I would be not going to AAST my freshman year. I had a really great experience at the school but I feel like attending AAST made it really difficult to be involved at NMB and I also missed all of my friends that I had always gone to school

I am now entering my final year of high school. Most things have changed. I have a completely different group of friends than I did at the start. I no longer even go to the lunchroom, and I hate parties. But some things never change.

Personal growth is inevitable for a teenager going through high school. As much as my freshman year self didn’t want to admit it, I knew walking into the doors freshman year that my life, and myself, were going to be different when I left Lowell High School. Throughout my high school career I watched myself change, becoming more confident in myself and more curious about the world around me, but unable to pinpoint why that change was happening. I still had the same friends, did the same sports, and had the same hobbies as I had all throughout high school. After some deep reflection, I realized that I didn’t just wake up one day, suddenly more grown up and mature. It happened slowly throughout my junior year. And why it happened? Junior year

When I look back on my senior year, I have realized that I have been many places. This year has brought me hard times, new friendships and great opportunities.

Sophomore and junior year basically felt like two years in one. Just like freshman year, I was the new kid on the block. My dad got sole custody of my brother and I and drove through several states just to get us. I was mad at first and I hated Tishomingo, and all I thought about was being able to move back in with my mom after sophomore year was up. But by the time second semester came around, I was able to make friends who I thought understood me, and I no longer wanted to move. Eventually the year was over and it was Junior year in the blink-of-an-eye. Junior year was my best high school year which included me joining band for the first time, dating the love of my life, and finding out who my true friends were.

To be honest not much has changed since freshman year. Seems crazy, right? Four years go by and I feel as if I am close to the same place that I was when I first walked into the high school doors. Right now I am currently stressed and scared about my future; seems similar to what I was feeling when I was a freshman. Right now want senior year to be over as soon as possible; another feeling I had as a freshman. Obviously there are a lot of things that have changed about me physically and maturity wise, but currently I feel equal to those incoming freshman just as their about to walk through the doors on their first day of high school.

I remember being an anxious eighth grader thinking about starting my freshman year of high school. We went from being at the top of the school to being at the bottom of a new one. All of our middle school teachers always told us about how our high school teachers wont “hold our hands” and how we will be on our own. Being in high school is completely different than being in elementary school and middle school. Its almost like each year we have more and more freedom but more responsibility.

Losing friends, meeting new people, first job, first car, boyfriend, getting my license. Throughout the last four years of high school I’ve experienced a lot of new things and learned a lot on the way. I remember walking into school on the first day of freshman year; I was thinking that these are going to be a very long couple of years. I was wrong; these past four years have gone by so fast, so I guess my dad was right when he said they’d fly by.

Surviving high school is no easy task. From the very first day of class, students are forced to find comradery in various social circles. These cliques can range from sports jocks, to math and band geeks, to school club members, and to the social outcasts who could care less about school. While there are more various types of groups, the most common are the jocks and the nerds. As far as everybody in the school in concerned, the popular athletes and the “wimpy” nerds are from two very different planets. However, while there are a lot of differences between the two as far as physical appearance goes, I had the honor of being part of both worlds, and I know for a fact that they have more in common than either would care to admit.

High school can be stressful time for many. Many students look for a way to relieve their stress. Many students turn to sports to help them. I know this feeling first hand because I have experienced a moment of overwhelming stress and I turned to sports. Many of my friends have had a moment like this also and I have helped them turn to sports or working

A. It was hard for me and my brothers cause we only spoke creole and a like bit of English.

To some, four years seems like a long time, but for me the past four years have flown by. In these quick four years, so much has changed and yet so much is exactly the same. You still go to school with most of the same people. You walk into the same familiar building and say hello to most of the same teachers. During these four years I have lost some friends, but I have gained real ones, which is one of the most important things to me. My outlook on life has changed. I have become a more open and understanding person and I have learned many valuable life lessons. I have made many great memories and I have learned to appreciate everything I have because nothing is permanent. My journey through high school is like a plane ride. It takes off freshman year and I go on a long, and sometimes bumpy, journey to get to my final destination. Even though in many ways I am still the same person as the one that walked through those school doors as a freshman, I have also changed in order to try to become the best version of myself and get to my final destination.
