The Importance Of Learning Experience In High School

The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is astounding. For example, the classes are a lot more difficult than they were in eighth grade. By comparison, in eighth grade I would have at least two tests every Friday but now I have about five quizzes and two tests throughout the whole week. However, I do learn the material better when we have quizzes and tests even if it does stress me out. I also believe that being in ninth grade helps me understand time management more. Whereas in eighth grade I would just go home and watch television for a few hours, in ninth grade you have to come home, do your homework and study for a couple of hours. I have also learned that if you miss one day of school you'll miss everything. For instance, if you

High school isn't easy, because of many reasons and one of them is work! The wok in high school gets harder. You will of course see new and unknown ideas, but they give you more work and test's. In middle school you had your final exam's at the end of the year and the whole year to study, but in high school we go by semester's and the the final test's for those classes are at the end of the semester. You don't have a whole year to study and review for your final exam, so it's

High school is always considered some of the best years of life. Students live with their families, see their friends almost everyday, and participate in the activities they love with the people they love. It has enough freedom for the student to decide how hard they will try, but it also has just the right amount of restrictions that parents can step in to make the student work. High school also gives students many opportunities to succeed and keep letting them try again if they fail. For example, a math teacher may allow a student to retake two test throughout a semester, but if the student proves that they are trying in the class then the teacher may allow them to retake a few more tests. Also, schoolwork is not tedious or lengthy,

From happy moments to sad moments, from having the best time to falling asleep in class. Middle school was also a place for change. As Robin Sharma once stated, “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.” High school will definitely bring many changes in our lives. At first, everything may be difficult but, as each year goes by you will quickly realize that you are capable of handling it because, you know at the end of the day everything will be

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

Middle school is known as a time to mature for high school. For me, there were many changes I underwent after coming to the middle school.

Everyone has heard or been told, “high school is what you make of it.” High school is in fact what you make of it, but it is also the time of great change in everybody. Entering grade nine you still feel like a kid, your post-secondary and career choices are far from top priority. However, by grade twelve we become more mature and grow into young adults. Personally looking back to my grade nine self and comparing her to my grade twelve self of today, I am able to see changes in my character, my athletics and my goals.

The beginning of the year wasn’t exactly as I envisioned as an eighth grader. I thought that going to high school would be some life changing experience with new people and more privileges. It turned out that it wasn’t that life changing so much as perspective changing and there was more work, more stress, and privileges tend to come with a price. My first day left me nervous, lost, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, and tired by the end of the day. The first thing I did when I got home that day

Many people will say that high school is a struggle, but how are we to know until we’ve experienced it? As you go throughout school your teachers keep saying that 11th grade will be your toughest year. Now that it’s finally here, I’m starting to believe everything my teachers have ever told me.

Entering high school is the beginning of a whole new learning experience. Transitioning from middle school, high school presents more classes, students, and a bigger campus. It brings new expectations and responsibilities to each of us. High school also offers fresh chances to make new friends, try new sports and activities, and really explore who we are as individuals. The goal is to maintain good grades, score high on the SAT test, and keep a positive attitude so colleges and universities will accept you. Of course it's not as easy at sounds, but it's achievable. It requires a lot of work and dedication to every subject. Some students breeze their way through while others live in misery trying to pass their

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.

High school is a place of enjoyment and focus. There are proms, football games, a variety of clubs, and much more. Students just have to monitor and keep their grades up daily. They also have to be aware of opportunities that can help them in the future. This consists of college plans, career pathways, etc. Ninth graders are to be included in these things.

People never told me high school was going to bw such a breeze. I have became a very independent person during high school. I always have great friends to rely on. We would alway play sports together. Having these two things are a major key to a successful high school carrer. For rising 8th graders it is important to find a dependable friend and involve yourself in actives.

Middle School is… the most freedom you will get by getting that small time before school actually starts and hearing the sounds that the other people make. Loud, Its sounds like you're in a forest full of singing birds, but it’s not that pleasant . The more breaks you'll get a time to converse with someone, get you're stuff from your locker. More freely. You never got that freedom in Fifth Grade, everything in your desk cramped together, always falling out. In lunch more choices instead of just 1st choice and 2nd choice.

Throughout my first year of high school, I participated in the Gull Lake High School Marching Band. This was something I looked forward to for the entirety of middle school, and finally being able to experience it myself was better than I could have imagined. It is a privilege to learn and play an instrument, especially from so many kind, experienced instructors that teach us students through band camp each year and summer practices at school. The sheer amount of physical and mental work marching band requires is enough to make any person wonder how 150 teenagers are able to handle it; however, the bond that is formed between band members is unlike any other I have experienced. The long competitions, tiring rehearsals, and difficult music and drill is beyond worth the incredible feeling of putting on the marching show and witnessing the impact it has on our community.
