Personal Experience: My Personal Writing In High School

High school in general was honestly not what I expected , it is definitely not like the movies we see on t.v. No one is singing and dancing through the halls ,there are no “mean girls “ or even rude teachers at Granada. Coming into high school I realized that it was going to be a lot of work , but I knew it was going to be especially hard for me since I came into a new high school and a totally different environment without any friends. Whether I like high school or not, I can’t avoid it, high school is a natural course and more so it is a greater step towards my career and the rest of my life. There are some things I wish I would had known before going into high school for example to not be afraid or be socially awkward with my classmates

Writing in high school was also quite eye opening I realized that there is more steps regarding writing you must have a hook, there’s a special format in which a essay must be written in , and there even has to be an embedded quote. During the first few days of school we wrote a six word memoir which frankly I found quite challenging ,it was very difficult for me to piece exactly what I wanted to say in just six words . Eventually I figured the perfect phrase that would perfectly describe me, it was very rewarding going up in front of everyone and reading my memoir . A high moment in my life that came about writing was when my whole got to freestyle write . Freestyling in my english class was a huge moment in my life, this one simple assignment made me discover that I enjoy writing my thoughts , memories , and goals . I know own a journal and write whenever I have free time which is honestly something I have never pictured myself doing. Whether I have a prompt or not writing in high school is quite liberating

I got the courage to stand up and present , read out loud , and I also even participated in socratic seminars. A low moment in this semester was when we had to read a few chapters of “And Then There Were None” on Halloween night and then take a small quiz about the chapters the upcoming day . I did not really study for this test and mostly skimmed through the book and honestly my grade showed the lack of effort I put in , which is why this is one of the lowest moments I have had in my English class. A personal goal I have for this semester is to continue to strive for the best and to be able to publicly speak without being timid about it . I will try to achieve this goal by taking any opportunity that comes whether it is something simple like raising my hand to answer a question or having a role in our next play. This goal will be quite challenging since it is hard to get me out of my shell, but it is certainly not impossible. Being able to publicly speak without being shy will be at my advantage for the rest of my high school carer and will even be beneficial for me later in life
