High school is supposed to be a one more step closer to college; it’s supposed to be preparing you for the future right? Wrong. My experience in high school was very different; I never quite fit in with anyone, the “friends” that I thought that I had used me for money. Let’s just say when I was a freshman I had a friend whom I knew from grade school, her name was Meghan Lawrence and she was the kind of person who I really believed I could tell her anything and she would keep it to herself. Once again I was proven wrong, I developed a crush on a boy and she knew that I had a crush on him; one morning before class both he and she went to the corner store, she thought it would be funny to tell him all about my crush, which he tortured me with, playing with my emotions, made me feel like he might actually like me back. …show more content…

The whole first year, I was in ESE classes, which meant I was too slow to be in regular classes, which hurt my self-esteem, growing up, I didn’t quite understand things explained to me and in elementary school, I was in a class that had 35-40 kids with only one teacher. I tried to keep with the other kids in the class, but I never could keep up with them, so my parents pulled me out and enrolled me in a progressive school because they thought that would be a better out for

    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.

    Throughout my high school experience, I've been able to obtain knowledge that I can use to better my life. Some of the classes I've taken have been a blessing in disguise. For example, I never expected to learn as much as I did about writing and literature by just simply reading. Many of my teachers have pushed me to my limits and inspired me to think differently from my peers. In general my best English experience was reading "MacBeth" by William Shakespeare in Mr. Elwell's class, where I also realized I had many English skills to improve on.

    High school is a time in your life that at the time you think is the worst part in your life, but will later find out, that it is the best time in your life. Unlike my fellow senior classmates, I have come to the realization that I will miss this “shitty” place we call school. High school is a mixture of 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 year olds. Unlike elementary and middle school, in high school, all students are mixed together. To me, high school is a time in your life to figure out who you are, who your friends are, and to make memories. I love high school and will miss every minute of it next year when I am off in college, alone. O Bentworth Senior High School.

  • High School Reflection

    1079 Words  | 3 Pages

    High school is the most challenging part of life, for a high schooler. Trying to find your social group is crucial, and maintaining those friendships shapes your high school experience. Grades are not taken as seriously as they should be for most people, but are still maintained to please parents. Missing class, skipping class, or being late in general is customary, and most of your time is managed by the ‘adults’ in your life. You’re in a confusing space, battling between your own free will and the restrictions that are inflicted on you by law, whether it be your parents’, your schools, or even state laws, which regulate what time you’re allowed to be out, what you can wear, who you can date (that’s if you’re allowed to date at all), etc.

  • Challenging Transition: From Middle School to High School

    824 Words  | 2 Pages

    High school is a time in life when teenagers learn a lot about themselves. Personally I learned that I have to work hard to get what I want and that I could do anything that I set my mind to. For me coming to Rockhurst High School was initially a struggle. Although I was had straight A's before high school, I soon realized that high school could not be compared to middle school. The school district I came from was nonaccredited at the time and did not prepare me to be well equipped in high school. I knew that coming from one of the worst public school districts in Kansas City to going to one of the top private high school schools in Missouri, would not be easy and I was up for the challenge. Starting out freshman year I noticed that my grades were not what I had hoped for them to be and became very worried. Instead of taking the easy way out and transferring to an easier school I decided to challenge myself and stay at Rockhurst. At the end of my freshman year I

    High school is one of the foundations in a person’s life that make them who they are today.

This was my one chance at a first impression and I was ready to have a fresh new start, to experience new things in life, and to make the best out of these four years in my life.

    You know, it is really strange how quickly time passes, after spending my whole childhood wishing I was an adult, now here we are and it's a little hard to grasp. It feels like just yesterday I was standing here in the same position at eighth grade graduation. Ahh, middle school, such a joyous time for all of us, free of maturity and not a care in the world. The biggest decisions I ever had to make then was deciding which group to stand with at passing time and choosing which shirt from my extensive collection of Stussy and No Feat apparel to wear. We were all naive to the danger that lurked just around the corner. We were unaware that the carefree world we lived in was about to come crashing to the ground in a blazing inferno of real school work and responsibility ... otherwise known as high school.

  • Personal Narrative: An Overview Of High School

    In eighth grade, I had my whole life planned out. I thought it through carefully and knew the exact timeline. During high school, I decided that I would get a variety of grades, as all my Taylor Road friends warned me that Northview High School was a school comprised of geniuses, one of which they supposed me not to be. I was also certain that I would continue to play softball all four years of high school, convincing myself to follow in the footsteps of my sister and perform in musicals during the off-season. Following high school, I would major in business, as proposed by my mom,; get married right out of undergrad, as suggested by my grandmother; and ultimately never work a day in my life. This plan that I devised for myself was bliss. I never thought that I would deviate from my proposed scheme. But, then freshman year hit, accompanied by an onslaught of transformation.

  • Personal Narrative: A Typical High School Experience

    I always imagined that I would have a typical high school experience, that I would attend classes from 8:30-3:30 five days a week and fill my free time with homework, a job, basketball games. However, the summer before I entered high school, I began a Lupus flare. Although I had been diagnosed and dealing with this disease for numerous years, this flare was unlike others. One day, I had stiff joints, the next I was unable to walk. While my doctors altered my medications many times, the perfect combination was elusive. When August approached, I began my school year homebound so that I could focus all of my efforts on walking. A homebound teacher came to my house and taught me, always leaving homework so that I could stay caught up with my
