Recommended: Why extracurricular activities are important

When I had first started going to Unity High School my thought about the school was it was going to be hard and feeling nervous about coming the first week. I was feeling nervous the first week at Unity High School first because I didn't know anyone. After a while of being here at Unity High School I felt more comfortable because I started to see who I was going to be around and I found more people to talk to. My feeling about high school before was just wanting to hurry up and make these four years go by fast. Today I still do feel the same and just trying to become a better person by coming to school. I never thought I would attend Unity High School but when I found out more about the real world I known this school would help me more than other schools. …show more content…

I never went to after school programs there just not for me. I think in my opinion that it is a waste of time going to after school programs because I rather be home eating or playing video games. Growing up thinking about high school I believe it is the same as middle school and elementary just more proper and more skills you have to learn. At the start of the school year I thought school was going to be easy but it really isn't. I believe it is easier to learn when your simply paying attention. I never thought that it was going to be hard like this but now I know that it is hard and there isn't no way of passing it unless you

    558 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

    So far since I started high school in Roanoke Valley Early College I learned a ton. I learned school is going to get really hard and I need to stay on top of my work which is hard to do for me. I also learned people are going to hateful and want to put you down. They are not strong enough to come to face with it so they just do it behind your back. Since I have been in your Freshman Seminar I learned that you place yourself on a level of where you feel you need to work on to get to the next level. I also learned that when I get older and I am out on my own it is going to be hard and I will have struggles and I have to fix it myself. I realize that my Freshman seminar starts my high school years off and it is important, but I am really seeing me struggling in my high school years to get that 2.5 grade point average to even get into a public university. To be honest, I will be happy to get into any school I can get into because I do have struggles and a lot of them. I have also found out that there will be teachers that does not like at all, but you have to pass

    I not only had the fear of starting high school, like everyone else, but I also had the fear of starting a brand new school, with no one I knew, people who have known each other since kindergarten. I didn’t know what it was going to be like, if I would fit in, if making new friends was going to be easy, or even how big the school was. I was never involved in sports, my freshman year I tried out for the cheerleading team; I MADE IT! It made me feel excellent about myself that there wasn’t much competition, and it didn’t make me feel like I wasn’t good enough. It being in a little community and little school, 150 in the graduating class, made it nice that there was constantly a lot of school spirit and the community was constantly included in everything the school had been going on such as; any games for any kind of sports, any fundraisers or any volunteer work that needed to be done. All the students and teachers were greatly welcoming; it wasn’t highly diverse at all. If I would have graduated from there, there would have been only four African americans in my graduating class. From experience and in my opinion, racism is a big cause of violence and causes more drugs; this school didn’t have any violence and very little drug use from what I saw of students. Everyone knowing everyone made it easier for everyone to get along, there was never much drama, even being a girl. The small

    As I entered the big white classroom, my footsteps echoing through the huge space ahead, and I saw uncountable eyes staring at me, I knew already this wasn't a good start. I'd arrived late, at my first day of school, and that seemed not to cause a good impression on my other classmates. I first had to take my brother to his classroom and assure myself he was right before I headed towards my biggest fear these past days. I was still standing astonished at the entrance of the class when my teacher spoke my name out loud, and I could already sense the giggles from the back of the class.
