High school is known as a time of change. From friends, to interests, to personality, and even sports, many people notice the amount of change they went through in the year between middle school and high school. I have noticed huge changes looking back on who I was in eighth grade to who I am now. The immense changes in the last year that came with starting high school have led to huge developments in my social, academic, and athletic life.
Going into high school has allowed me to meet new people and gain new friends, which has changed my social life for the better. Last year, my class was pretty small and there was a lot of drama, especially among the girls. I hung around about eight people who I thought were my true friends, simply because they were always around and we got along well. Outside of

I remember sitting next to my now best friend for six months in silence, but we were still friends back then and we are now too. Also, I assumed that everyone who I was friends with was still going to be my friend in high school, and that we would still be close. I also probably read people wrong because some of the people who I didn’t get to know are my good friends now. When I started high school at Notre Dame Preparatory, I thought that I would be fine since I already knew a bunch of people, however, I couldn’t have been more wrong. My first lunch, I realized that I knew no one and had nowhere to go, which is a pretty awful feeling. This event forced me to make new friends, which was something that I wasn’t very good at. I also found that it doesn’t matter what grade I was in, because many people have friends outside their grade, and I focused more on making friends with a group of sophomores at first rather than my own grade. There was also more people and everyone came from different schools, so everyone’s friend groups, including my own, changed a lot. Through band and my other classes,
Making the transition from middle school to high school is a huge stepping stone in a teenager’s life. High school represents both the ending of a childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It’s a rite of passage and often many teens have the wrong impression when beginning this passage. Most began high school with learning the last thing on their mind. They come in looking for a story like adventure and have a false sense of reality created through fabricated movie plots acted out by fictional characters. In all actuality high school is nothing like you see in movies, television shows, or what you read about in magazines.
When going into high school the same friends you have in freshmen year aren’t the same in senior year. Strong Friendship is always hard to get, I knew who my real friends were after every year in high school ended. By the end of my senior year I had almost all the same friends except for three or four. But there was this one girl who stayed and she been my best friend since then we have had tough time and we have broken up but we always come back to each other. During the break ups I never treated anybody special like I did with her somehow I knew she was going to come back. The theme was always in my life and it showed me that not all my good friends are going to stay but when you have a best friend they’re always going to be
This time I moved to Warren, Michigan and I attended my last year of elementary school with brand new people. The process of getting to know people took me a long time. I became the shy student that did not take part in any school activity again because I was afraid I would be judged on everything I did. As the years went by I started meeting new people each year. It is now my Senior year of High School and I attend three different schools: CPC, Cousino, and Macomb Community College, I can finally say that I am gaining my confidence back.
I didn’t know what to expect of high school as I sauntered in the doors as an incoming high school freshman. In my first couple of weeks of school, I learned that it was basically like middle school, just a little stricter with different teachers and a different locker. I asked myself “how bad could it be?” Turns out,
Growing is always hard. Things become more challenging and you are left with a bundle of responsibilities. High school made me change to be ready for encounters with other people and for when I go to college in the future.
High school in the 21st century is a lot different than it was for people in generations older than us (Our parents, their parents etc). Today we go to school with many different races/ethnicities, religions, political affiliation, and genders/ sexuality are present here at Central Valley High School in the 21st century.
The transformation from middle school to high school marks an exciting and overwhelming time in a teenager’s life. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in life and it opens new doors of opportunity. High school is easily over estimated compared to middle school and middle school is very much under estimated from high school. High school and middle school are very different with only a few similarities. The two different levels of schooling have completely different time schedules, different priorities take place, and one schools education system is more advanced than the other.
“Colleges tell you, "Just be yourself." That is great advice, as long as yourself has nine extracurriculars, six leadership positions, three varsity sports, and killer SAT scores. Then by all means, be yourself!”
My high school experience has been a very challenging and exciting 4 years. I have learned many things that will help me in life and I feel confident that I am ready for whatever obstacle I may face. High school has defined, shaped my character, and helped me to mature into the young woman that I am
Throughout my first three years of Junior High, I only associated with the people that I already know. Most of my fellow classmates had friends from other grade levels – but not me. I liked the comfort of only having the people that I trust around me. Occasionally, I socialized with other students as needed, like during school activities or during volleyball trainings. I really thought I was going to end my Junior High School life that way, but God had other plans.
Throughout the years changes both positive and negative advancements are forming everywhere, They can be major or minor, however changes are always made. One place that has changed over the years is high school. High school has adjusted in several ways over the years, different high schools have different adjustments, but all high schools have some similar changes. High school has changed over the years by becoming more digital, kids get cyber bullied and kids use their phones a lot more.
Many games I played growing up taught me important life values. For instance, “The Game of Life” would tell me how life can be random and unexpected. “Sorry” would show me that valuing self interest is not a crime, and “Monopoly” would teach me about patience. However, the most important game I ever played was not until I was a freshman in High school. The game was called “Three Changes” and the rules were simple.
The school system has drastically changed through the generations, from the 60s to 2017. Multiple parts of high school life have changed in school systems and lives throughout the years. Multiple aspects of school life have changed from the historical events to the discipline and the trends, and an abundance of these parts of school have been altered due to the generational differences. Generations of students in high school have changed the cultural norms of the school disciplinary measures. The way disciplinary actions are handled is incredibly different between the generations.
Making the transition from middle to high school can be an exciting, but also an intimidating journey. You have become a new fish in a much larger pond. The academics are challenging and the expectations are much higher. Your freshman year of high school marks the beginning of an important high school journey one that will lead you to a lifetime of success. The start of high school may be exciting, but it will be a completely different situation than when it was in middle school.
Throughout high school, I had my same friend group that I had since middle school and elementary school. I always tried to make new friends, and join groups when I could, but I learned that the group of friend’s I had were a great group. My friends and I were in many of the same clubs, which made it more fun being in those clubs, and knowing people.
