Sophomore Year In High School

When junior year ended last summer, I felt like I knew exactly what was coming my way-- after all, I watched three different groups of my friends go through senior years of their own. It was finally my turn to experience senior year, something it seemed I had known about for years, and I felt like senior year would be easygoing and uneventful. Now, it has taken just a few short months to realize how incorrect I was. If senior year has taught me anything, it is that one never really knows what comes next for them, even if they have a good idea. The monumental highs, as well as the deepest of lows, have kept me on my toes throughout my senior year.

Junior year was full of many new experiences. We were now classified as upper classmen! Just like any of the other years in high school this year had just as many ups and downs. One of the main stresses in eleventh grade was the SAT. For sure one of the scariest things that I have ever had to do. All of the preparation going into it and the amount of studying made me feel as if I wasn’t going to have a brain by the time the testing was over. I took college and career readiness, which really helped prepare me for what was to come. By this time in high school I had already had my job for a little over a month, so I already knew what to expect once school started. I am thankful enough that at my job you get to leave at seven because I hear many

I can fairly say that sophomore year of high school has changed who I am completely. In sophomore year I decided to take on miscellaneous experiences to gain valuable work ethic that will help me to persist in college. These include joining a sport, and being accepted into a three year paid internship after going through an interview.Being the daughter of parents with a restricted income has limited my plans of funding my college education. My father is retired and my mother is a housewife which minimizes our financial abilities, however, this doesn’t prevent me from my pursuit of a college education. Gathering a sufficient amount to cover for my tuition and fees has been on my mind since sophomore year of high school, so I started to save up.

My junior year, especially the summer following, became a pivotal period in my life. I obtained many new responsibilities and participated in many different experiences that shaped me closer to the person I seek to become as an adult. I had recently earned my driver’s license, which required months of hard work and commitment. I then began my first job, working the front desk providing customer service at my community pool and additionally took on a leadership role by volunteering in my local community. These responsibilities helped me to develop new life skills.

Your freshman year will be exciting, but it can also be intimidating. It is the start of four long years of high school, some of the most important years of your life. There are a lot of important things to do your freshman year, many of which I didn't start until much later. So here is some advice that will help you survive your freshman year, and prepare you for the rest of high school.

Every school year fifth graders face a big change from the lives they are used to. Middle School. It is our job as upperclassmen to assist these new sixth graders. These students need our advice, and help, to make sure they live out their middle school years correctly. The finest piece of advice I can give any student starting middle school is to plan out all your middle school years.

In all honesty, my growth in academics have also reflected my perspective on the type of person that I want to be someday. For instance, throughout this entire year, I have progressed the type of person that I want to be in the near future and my ability to become an empowered learner has improved drastically. Knowing that my junior year is one of the most important years in high school, I have set high standards for myself and had applied self discipline on myself as well in order to maintain my path to success. With that being said, not only has self discipline and setting high standards for myself allow me to concentrate more this year, but it has also allowed me to develop a variety of interests and talents as well. Interests such as majoring in film and theater and also helping others have originated once I joined

As a child every American boys dream was to lace up his cleats, strap on his helmet and storm out of the locker room into a sea of wild fans. I was able to live this dream by playing Division 1 college football; a feat that only 1% of high school athletes get to experience. I quickly realized that football was no longer just a game, but it was a multi-billion-dollar industry, and I signed on to be an unpaid four-year intern. The typical “work week” consisted of 30-40 hours of practice, film, weights, and travel, on top of a 15 credit hour course load. Time management played a key role in my success both on and off the field. I had to prioritize my school-work and optimize every second of my valuable free time. There would be days where I would

Sophomore year started out a bad year for all of us. The seniors we loved and cherished were gone and we had brand new section leaders for the flute section. The year started out rough when nearly half of us passed out at band camp. The heat was exhausting and we were constantly getting yelled at from our band director. Throughout the first semester a lot of drama emerged, and half of it was caused by one specific person. There was a lot of pent up anger from a specific girl who didn’t earn the title of section leader, and she did everything in her power to make sure she got it the next year. She tattled to the band directors that the section leaders weren’t doing their jobs well enough, and that if she was section leader these types of things

I believe freshman year of high school is essential in deciding whether a student drops out or stays on school. I believe that you should try your hardest freshman year so that you can stay motivated and get good start in high school.

Sophomore year, I was thinking about surviving the next two years of high school. I realized I wouldn't graduate, not with the grades I was getting. My grades were at a 65 and I was going downhill. Panicking, I realized it was imperative that I go to a technical program.

I’ve also learned that, “You should decide your career by the time you're a Sophomore in high school”(WISD Curriculum Department 7). Some Internships for ocean engineering are at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center fellowships and internships and Geosciences Bridge Program summer internships for graduating high school seniors, plus more. To find a job, you can use websites that match interests and skills with

As the oldest of the three daughter I was left to take over the house responsibility, due to my mom started working most time in order to keep provide us. Starting my first year in middle school, was already complicated enough not knowing anybody, getting lost, and having to adjust to the new environment around me. And it became more complicated after my dad was sent away from our family. Since we had recently moved to another town. We were still unfamiliar with the city itself and had no family that could help us out. Having left in charge of my two little sister while my mom was at work, I was left to clean, wash and sometimes cook if my mother had not left anything ready the night before. Had to make sure their homework was done and were

One of the largest challenges I have ever faced in my life was making it through my Junior year of high school. Until this point in my life, I had never really had but so much on my plate. Homework came easy, occasionally I had to go to meetings, and I had free time to spare; however, everything came together at once. Before I could realize it, my free time was slipping away, I was working after school, taking 12 college credits at my high school, was an active member and leader of the FFA and Boy Scouts, and was taking college credits after school at the local community college. Before this, I never truly had to practice my time management skills, and to my amazement it was those exact skills that were able to push me through my Junior year

If you showed me who I am now my first day of freshman year, I would’ve laughed in disbelief just seeing how much of a 360 someone could do in 4 years. Freshman year I came into high school with the mindset of just passing my classes. I never volunteered-I had the time, but I never had the motivation or want to impact my community. I mostly blamed this due to the lack of representation of my own race in volunteer programs. I sometimes felt excluded and wanted someone like me to be there. However, I didn’t let this factor belittle me forever. I took this as an opportunity to be unique. It wasn’t until sophomore year until I realized my passion for teaching and helping others be successful. I never realized how much that one day I decided to
