If I Knew Then What I know Now
Coming to Spartanburg High School has been a great experience. Many people get intimidated due to the new campus, new classes, new teachers, and new students. Unfortunately, everyone is told that high school is the worse but, my painful experience was in middle school.
The start of high school may be frightening or exciting, but it will be a huge adjustment. My first day was horrible, I had no idea where my classes were, I didn’t think I would be able to find someone to sit with. The first day of high school made me feel completely lost and uncomfortable. It took me a total of two days to figure out where my classes were without looking at my class schedule. I totally thought it was the end of the world but,

  • Diagnostic Essay: Freshman Year Of College

    547 Words  | 2 Pages

    Anxiety ran throughout my entire body the morning before my first class of college began. Not knowing what to expect of my professors, classmates, and campus scared me to death. I knew the comparison to senior year of high school and freshman year of college would be minute, but never did it occur to me how much more effort was need in college until that morning, of course. Effort wasn’t just needed inside of the classroom with homework and studying but also outside of it where we are encouraged to join clubs, get involved and find a job. Had I known the transformation would be so great, I’d have mentally prepared myself properly. It’s easy playing “grown-up” in high school when one doesn’t have to pay expensive tuitions, workout a

  • High School Transition Essay

    327 Words  | 1 Pages

    It's quite difficult transitioning from being the biggest to back to being the smallest. In eighth grade, you've finally become comfortable with your peers, the school, and even the teachers, and it's gone in a matter of a couple months. My perception of high school was extremely terrifying because it was an academy where I didn't really know anyone because it was slightly far. It seems so easy when you already know someone at the school because they can help guide you around, but to a zoning that's a twenty minute distance it's difficult. I expected the least, honestly. I knew that the halls would be packed, getting to classes would be confusing, and teachers would continuously give homework, but no one said it would be so much more. Moving

  • Personal Narrative: My Curiosity

    543 Words  | 2 Pages

    From a young age, I was very curious. Curiosity caused my mind to see everything from a different perspective than most. I saw what could be improved and how I could improve. For example, when it came to editing movies, I was always able to see what could how it could have been better or I questioned how they had created it. My curiosity led me to try many different activities throughout high school, such as film camps, stage managing for plays, yearbook, and even creating videos for Rochester High School’s awards day. Finally, my junior year, I decided it was time I made films of my own for competitions. I wanted to have something that I could call my own. When it came to the two films I did for contests, I was there throughout the whole process.

    Walkinging into high school on my first day was like entering a new country for the first time. Unlike all the other kids around me I was super calm and a little too excited.

    If I could do it all over again. I’ve made a lot of mistakes like many other people in their lifetime. I’m not proud of my decisions in the past but I do believe it has made me who I am today.

If I could go back in time I would have made wiser decisions and accepted myself for who I was and enjoyed the process of who I would soon become.

    Everyone loves a thrill. We watch movies that make us rethink what is in the dark with us, jump off of bridges and cliffs with our only savior being a bungee cord that may or may not be 10 years old, and we create gravity defying, speeding cars without motors and brakes. The crazy thing is, we do it all for fun. I, however, didn’t have a fun time when I went on a roller coaster that went upside down for the first time.
