The First Day Of High School

On the first day of school I was in a class full of students. Oh, I hated my first day of classes very much because I could not handle the thought of having to introduce myself to everyone especially with the problem I had. I sat there nervously as I observed the others confidently and happily introducing them self to the audience. I just had the urge to slip under my chair and just hide there until I could escape my turn. Unfortunately, I could not avoid my turn and ended up introducing myself. "HiiiimynameeisJaskiran." As my face filled with embarrassment and humiliation, I thought of all the possible thoughts that approached the minds of the other students in response to me attempting to introduce myself. All too common I could imagine students saying, "Did she happen to forget her name?", "Can she talk a little slower?", or "What is wrong with her?". Times like this, made me wonder about my lack of speech skills in front of a group of people. Why do I either speak so fast-- where what I say sounds like one word-- or when I speak I am not able to clearly pronounce the syllables of a word? As I began to research, I realized this difficulty, complicated style of speaking is called stuttering. Why do people stutter? A mystery that has yet to be unraveled.

These years are kind of the fun years of high school. As a freshman I was trying everything out, all the activities, making new friends and going to the dances and sporting events.

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.

Starting high school fills freshmen with a glorious sense of optimism, at least until they proceed past the first two weeks of school. Then they can just watch, as all of their hopes glide out of the window with a wave and an “adios”. Freshman year is predominantly known as the worst year of every student’s high school career. You must adjust to high school, which includes harder classes with more advanced curriculum, and learning your way around the school, as well as learning any new rules that your school may have. However, there are techniques that you can learn to make your freshman year much more straightforward. In order for you, as a freshman, to become a better student, you must wear your I.D. in school, never be afraid to ask questions, and take notes on all materials,

I am writing to give you some advice that I wish I had known coming into my senior year. To begin, Congratulations for successfully making it this far in your high school journey. For some, this experience flies by and is the best time of their lives. For others, the opposite is true; however, it is such a blessing to be able to say that you are on the track to graduation, and you may not realize it, but this year will be full of challenges that you may or may not choose to take on.

It is finally senior year, the year we have all been waiting for. The leaders throughout the school that everyone looks up to. What more could you want? After being in high school for the past three years there has been many similarities, until now. A whole new year filled with different privileges to look forward to. Let us take a trip through high school.

Then the chaos starts; Junior year. Tests upon tests and and endless supply of homework, how do we even manage our social lives? It’s a year of overwhelming proportions, but somehow we survive. This is the year that prepares us for college and teaches us that it’s okay

This year goes by really slowly, and there isn't much one can do. No one really babies the sophomores like they did to the freshman. But at least this year was a little bit better than freshman year. Remember to relax, because this is the only year that is the least stressful. There are three things that I learned in sophomore year: I learned how to drive, I learned that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cells, and I also learned that the freshman class are annoying. "I hope I wasn't like that," all the sophomores would

Senior year, also known as the last year of being a child and the year to open your wings to become an adult. This is what most high schoolers visualize the end of the four long years of highschool to signify, but it’s not so much the case. The other portion of high schoolers who don’t think that’s the case, plan ahead and find certain careers to give them

Attention, incoming freshman, you are about to embark on a journey more dangerous than you could ever imagine. The terror of first starting High School is unavoidable. Freshmen, you are the prey and there is nothing you can do to avoid the predators in this academic and social jungle. You, however, are the holder of your educational achievements. Whether or not you pursue high enough grades to graduate and make it through this terrifying odyssey, all depends on how you approach this year. Slack off, blow off, put off: all actions that you should never exhibit in order to succeed. Why does this matter so much? Well, let me inform you.

Freshmen this is a time to just be yourself, in middle school it was all about popularity and contrary to the movies that really doesn't matter at all in high school. Hang out with new people, try new things get a feel of what matters to you, you don't have to hang out with the same people you did or like the same things you did it honestly is a great year to discover more about yourself. ALSO DO NOT SLACK OFF AND NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR GRADES, you may think ahh I have 3 more years to make it up but really that sets the tone and trust me its really hard to get your GPA up. Sophomores you are beginning to realize who your friends are and what you might enjoy doing, I'd say its a good year to continue trying things but also start to get serious about things that mean a lot to you, for instance if you joined a drawing and painting class and realize its something you really enjoy keep signing up for those classes or clubs and start to really invest time and energy into it. I'm not encouraging it but if there is any year to not do your best or kinda chill this is the

The thought of being in high school is both exciting and nerve wracking. It is thrilling to have more independence and freedom. However, going to a whole new school with older students can be intimidating. Over the summer, I had been planning out how I would get around the school and how I could get to each class on time. The anticipation weighed heavy on my mind. The first couple of days were stressful. I had to juggle getting to each class with stopping at my locker for materials. Though, I was also eager for the sense of having purpose again after the long summer. Freshmen year will be full of new experiences and challenges.

I want to start by congratulating you on making it to this point in life because I know it was not easy. Being a senior is not as fun and easy as everyone says. This year will be filled with nothing but stress and work. Believe me when I say you are going to want to drop out on numerous occasions this year. At times, teachers, students, and administrative staff will not make the thought of dropping out any better. But this year you will discover who you are and who you want to be. The roads may seem dark but you will get through it.

The behaviors, attitudes, and priorities of students change from the freshman year to the senior year. Throughout the four years of high school, students mature and grow into an unbelievably different person. When most students first start their freshman year of highschool they are nervous, anxious, and afraid. By the time their senior year comes, they are confident and ready to tackle whatever challenge their teachers throw at them. For example, one student had a conversation with their teacher about their GPA and after explaining their story about why their GPA is so low, their teacher praised them and let them know that they are so much more capable of doing things that their grades were showing. Some teachers help higher the amount of self

For many individuals, high school marks the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. High school is often times where teenagers transfer into adulthood by making mistakes and learning valuable lessons. Growing up and being exposed to new experiences throughout high school helps teens prepare for their futures. Before Freshman year, incoming students look forward to events and activities such as school dances and Friday night football games. However, the choices a person makes during these crucial four years, particularly Freshman year, can influence the rest of their life and overall success. In order to survive the first year of high school, students need to know how to navigate the school, stay current on homework assignments, and become
