High School is a different experience for everyone and those experiences can be both good and bad. Sometimes you will be super happy because you get an “A” on a project or assignment, and other times you get so frustrated with yourself or a teacher so much that you wish you were done with it all. Overall, high school was an interesting experience for me. I was always doing something whether that be homework, after school activities, or even organizing events. It seemed like I had no free time at all. High school has definitely taught me many things that I will take with me the rest of my life. High school has taught me many things and some of them are a little hurtful. One major life lesson high school has taught me is time management. Since …show more content…

The friends you enter high school with might not be the friends that you leave with. It’s hard to understand throughout your high school experience but in all it was for the best. For example, My best friends named Breanna started high school the same time I did. We had no classes together and we were both involved in different things. Eventually, we grew apart and now she is homeschooled so I never see her anymore. Even though Breanna is not a close friend anymore, I have some amazing friends. Of course all friends tease you when you leave a drink on top of the car before you drive or laugh at you when you did something stupid, but the friends that I am leaving high school with are hopefully going to be in my life for longer than just high …show more content…

Color guard was the extra curricular that impacted my life the most. Color guard has taught me to be punctual because it had multiple practices and performances that was depended me to be there or the show was ruined. Also in my last year of color guard, I was a captain of the guard. I had to develop leadership responsibilities because there were questions to be answered and no director to be found. Especially in this last season because our director got an amazing job opportunity and had to move to Arizona. After this, it was the captain 's responsibility to run practice and make us better before our final competitions. The first practice we had without our director we had to figure out how to get in the door, provide our own music, and start warm-ups immediately. The other two captains and I had trouble in the beginning of the season but as the end approached we had enough leadership ability to have an entire practice without directors or staff

    High school was not a completely dreadful experience, but I did not get a really an exceptional education. As I entered high school, I thought it would be a whole new exciting chapter in my life. I started out as an involved student, and went through all of the Advance Placement and Honor classes, and managed to be at the top 12% of my class. In high school, I basically placed myself to enjoy it; I joined all of the extra curricular activities I was interested in. I was in band, tennis, swimming, dance team, and Key Club. Sometimes I was at school for about fourteen hours a day, four times a week.

  • My Early College Experience: My High School Experience

    750 Words  | 2 Pages

    My high school experience was different from most in the sense that I was enrolled in an early college program. This meant earning dual credit and graduating with a high school diploma, an associate’s degree, and the chance to enroll at a four-year university as any typical high school student would. This also meant finding a new mode of transportation since the community college served as the high school campus and the only working car in the family was my father’s way to get to work. We met with the school principal on numerous occasions to discuss this issue and see what could be done, but it looked like this was going to be one opportunity I would be unable to take advantage of — I even missed the orientation week for incoming freshmen

    I have to admit that I will not look fondly on my high school career. I spent most of my study time going out with my friends. I felt that I was paying my dues with the eight hours of boredom that began most of my days. Until now there were only a few classes that I enjoyed. In retrospect, I believe that it was my inability to choose the classes I took which resulted in my lack of enthusiasm on the ride to school each morning.

Time can move pretty quickly as you look back on your life, or pretty slowly depending on which class you are in third period as you watch those bright red numbers change so slowly it seems as if the whole world has stopped turning. I believe that this adage of making time, saving time and spending time is important to us now as we venture forth on this crazy adventure called "life after high school."

  • Does Society Shape Who We Are?

    1979 Words  | 4 Pages

    Does society influence us or do we influence it? The thought of whether the society shapes us or individuals shape our behaviors and culture is extremely dubious and won't be replied whatsoever, possibly since it goes both ways. We have all been brought up in a society around individuals who impart to us bunches of characters and statuses or else we couldn't have been conveying like now and imparting thoughts and that answers and clarifies whether it is nature or nurture. It's a reality that what has formed our dispositions and who we are currently is a mixture of interior and outer compels, for example, socialization, education, and drives of all sorts. These interior and outer impacts have even been demonstrated and delineated by numerous sociologists- Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud, Herbert Mead. One of the stars that I truly acknowledge is Ahmed Zaki, the Egyptian actor. He had dependably been imaginative in all his works and had been conveying significant messages and showing lessons in life that have been once in a while known around individuals and passed on to the general population. I accept that Zaki came to be as innovative and of service as he is to the society because of how he was socialized. When he understood that he ended up in educating individuals by his movies and plays and acknowledged those morals and ethics he chose to work by them. Socialization is essentially the predominant outside compel that influences an individual's perspective to the planet. While very nearly all individuals are occupied to adapt up to the quickly progressing life and its profits, I accept he is one of the few actors who showed his own perspectives fearlessly without dread or shame. He called for the equity and fairness to all individual...

  • Reflection of My High School Experience

    1. I encountered the most significant challenge when I moved to Canada in January, 2012. Before I came to Canada, my English grade was very good in China, thus, I thought living and studying in Canada would not be too difficult. However, I did not do well in the ESL evaluation at all, and I was placed in ESL 1 at my high school. Most of my classmates there spoke very little English, and they did not spend much time and effort on studying English. It was very difficult for me to study if I wanted to be their friends and at that time, they were the only friends I had in Canada. However, I expected much more effort from myself. I studied very hard and became the 2nd fastest ESL students ever to complete ESL 1 to 4 in my high school. Today, when I recall what I have accomplished, I think I learnt to trust myself and at the same, success in anything only comes from hard work.

    In America everyone has the right to a free public education. States set standards for schools in an attempt at ensuring all students get the same quality education. No matter how many standards are set, students will not have equal schooling. Schooling is larger then the lessons taught in the classroom. Each student’s school experience is different, not only because of the quality of their education but because of things like school location, demographic, teachers, participation, and other person experiences. My school experience has helped define me as a person and has helped guide me through life.

    During my time as a student I have been able to develop the way I learn and interact with others to a degree that has also helped me to mature into a better person. I have come to believe that this maturity will help me to develop into a better thinker as well, one that has the patience to listen and take consideration of what others have to say. I consider the act of learning a two way avenue that has to be taken seriously. It is one that involves the teacher, and the protégé. It has been, and will continue to be, my absolute goal as a student to become a diligent protégé and acquire all of learning my teachers have set in front of me. The way each of them have helped me to think about how my actions, and the way I choose to study my lessons and develop as a student, has made a tremendous impact on my life. This impact is one that I will carry into the future as I myself advance in my professional studies.
