Students often feel nervous or scared when first entering high school, it’s very natural to feel this way. Here are some examples of what I was nervous about. The first fear I had about going into high school was its size. The high school is larger than what I am use to being in the middle school. The layout was quite different from the middle school due to it being multi-level building. Not only that, I had been in the high school maybe four to five times and had no real idea of how to even get to the freshman hallway. My next fear was the amount of homework and it’s level of difficulty. I had heard a great deal of stories while growing up that it was difficult and they swamped you with it. Although I know that it was not as difficult as I believed it would be. If I pay attention and tried that I would be fine but the fear of it was still there. However most of the kids who told these stories most likely exaggerated or didn’t pay attention and missed key information that was on the homework making it tougher for them. …show more content…
The classes would be a lot different from what I am use to. Each teacher has a different teaching style, some teacher prefer to give lectures while others prefered to do activities. I didn’t really know what to expect each teacher to be like. Most of the teachers in middle school have similar teaching styles and grading policies but in the high school each teacher could be polar opposites of each other. I would get confused about who required a red pen and who required a blue pen, because most teacher prefered for their students to have different
Middle School is ending and it's almost time to start the next chapter of my life- high school. High school is often depicted as dramatic and stressful, both of which I expect it to be. I have many things I am eager for, many things I am not eager for, and many expectations.
I know how difficult it is to transition from middle school to high school, especially being from the countryside of Turlock where my graduating class consisted of eighty kids. It is a big transition from a class of eighty to a class of about six hundred, and I would only know less than
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
I felt as though I was watching a train barrelling towards me, an inevitable bullet that had come tumbling out of the opposing pitcher’s arm. But instead I stood immobilized, watching my team's only chance of winning whiz by me. Strike three. I heard my team from behind me shouting “SWING!” with my mind screaming the same. But my bat remained unmoving, the pop of the catcher's glove like the nail into the coffin that was our defeat. All I had to do to keep our hopes of winning hope alive was swing, and yet I couldn't. I stayed on the field afterwards, tossing the ball up in the air and swinging away, landing it on the thick maple barrel of the bat.
The first day I walked into the Computer School, I was feeling so nervous and scared that I would not fit in or make any friends. I thought I was ready to start middle school, but when we got our schedules and the teachers started talking I suddenly got nervous. At my elementary school there was only one or two teachers and we all stayed in the same classroom, with the same kids for the whole day. Now I had to
The advice I would give incoming freshman is to not be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of, being in high school is a fun experience and is like having a second
Graduating middle school is a accomplishment, but entering a new school with new people, new teachers, and a new system is scary. The first day of high school is always scary. There are certain fears students have the first year. For example, some are scared they might not have friends in a class, and others are afraid to be in the wrong classroom. No matter the fear eventually the student will get over it. Three fears that I had were getting lost, not getting to class on time, and lunch. To get over these fears I studied the map and went to the open house with somebody I knew had gone to the school already, I would walk fast and pack up a few minutes before the bell rings, and I would review lunch with my friends and set up a place to meet.
First time you entering the high school, you feel nervous, you thought about so many bad things, can you make friends with others?, can other student accept you in their friendship life?, the lessons and stuff. You just like a newborn baby with an anxious feeling. However, day by day, month by month, and even years have passed. 3 years have passed. It’s a long time for some people but for few people
In High School, college seemed to be the scariest thing that I could think of. Whenever I thought about it my stomach would immediately begin to spin in circles. Although I was ready to go off and be by myself and meet new people I was scared to death at the same time. I didn't know much about the "college experience" and what I did know (or thought I knew) scared me. I pictured hard classes that I wouldn't be able to keep up with, people that wouldn't like me, long hikes to get to my classes, and horrible food. I couldn't imagine leaving the security of my own room, my own stuff where I want it, my friends that I've spent practically my whole life with, my family who put up with all my little quirks, and my car!! What was I going to do without my precious car? Some of my friends that had already been to college and had come back to visit seemed so much older and more mature. I felt twelve years old in comparison. I thought that I would never be able to fit in. Everyone else that I talked to didn't however seem to have this problem. They all were thrilled at the thought of being on their own and not having to worry about their parents telling them what to do all the time. And sure, the thought was extremely exciting to me as well, but how would I survive without my family and friends and the things that had taken me eighteen years to get used to. I felt like going to college was pretty much taking everything that I knew and had grown accustomed to and throwing it up in the air. The worst part about it all was that I felt like I was the only one that actually thought about this. I felt so immature and childish for actually being scared to come to college. After I thought I wouldn't be able to take the pressures anymore, I decided to approach my mom about the subject. I told her that I was a little scared and the thought of being on my own made me a little uneasy.
The one thing I did have trouble with was failure. In high school, failure was not as serious as it is in college. If I failed an exam or small quiz in high school I would shrug it off but end up with an ‘A’ in the course, whereas here I felt like failure could not happen. But soon enough I realized that was wrong. I ended up being so stressed from the desire of good grades that I actually barely studied and I got a 77 on the first anatomy quiz. After failing, I know that I will do well if I put the hours and work in and now, I tend not to stress as
When thinking of high school the first thing I think of is freedom . When you are in high school you are usually the age where you can drive and do things on your own . One cool thing about high school is that you can leave to go eat lunch . Along with more freedom , you also get to pick some of your classes for that semester . High school gives
When it comes to Highschool there are many many things that people are not only excited about but are also worried about, but then there are kids who just know high school is going to be a breeze or they just don’t care. Well, I’m the one who’s worried and excited. I’m excited about a lot of things when it comes to high school. I’m excited to meet new people.
Considering I didn’t speak a word of English I was very scared about starting high school. I was scared about fitting in with the other kids, I was scared about not being able to understand
Most freshmen like me that enter the school are scared. I think the first week of the school is the easiest since there would not be a lot of homework and what you need to do is to listen to what you need for the class and know other people well in the class. But I am wrong, as soon as you get seated on your assigned seat, new teachers start to introduce themselves and start giving tons of homework. As the bell rings, I start rushing to my next class hoping that I wouldn’t be late. The first day of school is always the hardest since you don’t have any new friends and you have to sit in the cafeteria alone when it is lunch time. As day starting to go by, I found myself getting earlier and earlier to class. Talking starts to increas...
The teacher was happy and cheerful to all the students. She never had to yell at the students for doing wrong or doing badly on work. She gave praise to the students for doing well. Even when the students got off track from the question she ask. She would just say that was interesting and go back to the question she started with. All the students were exited to answer question with their hands swing in the air. When I first got to the classroom the desks were in groups and later were moved into rows. To cut down on some of the talking between the students. All eyes were on the teacher when she talked waiting in anticipation. The class was well organized and everything was in placed. The students had their own lockers in the classroom. They had time before class started and before lunch to get out what they might need for the day. The teacher keeps control of the classroom. They also had a set time for the subjects everyday. The main emphases of the classroom were on reading, writing, and math. All homework assignments were written on the board for all the students know what is do the next day. Students had homework folders to take home, so their parents know how their child was doing in school and had to sign the folder and return it.
