Coming into my senior year I was very anxious and ready to get it over with. Everyone kept telling me that it was going to be the easiest year of high school, but I completely disagree. I would not say it was my hardest, but most definitely not the easiest, I did enjoy it though. It was very fun during the whole year, but once it came down to the last three or two months I began to give up. I was so ready for it to be over, and the more anxious I was the slower it seemed to get here. Unfortunately, I missed the main things that really mattered this year, like my cap and gown fitting, my last year book picture; all because I did not want to come to school this year. I really did not see no point in coming since I only needed two more credits to graduate, but in the 3rd quarter my …show more content…
When it came down to paying school fees I did not have any. The only thing I had to pay for was my cap and gown. The only thing really stressed me out was finding a dress for prom. I looked everywhere for months and still did not find one. Then once I thought I found a dress I had seen the dress code for the dress and I was placed back to square one. After 5 months of looking I finally found the dress that I want, but then I was hit with something else; my car. I wanted a all white or ivory Audi, so my mother went to look into getting me one, but come to find out the closes one is all the way in Tennessee. So I am back to square one about my car. When it came down to being around the younger, kids I really did not pay them any attention. Not because I thought I was better than them like some of the other seniors, but because I did not see no point to. AT this point I felt my only point was to come to school get my last couple of credits and to get out of here. I did not have time to pay the freshmen or even juniors attention. I can honestly say that it is really bittersweet to be a senior knowing that in a few months I will be out here in the adult world in a couple
Seniors, the last half of the year is hard, almost graduated, almost free from hours and hours of homework, but, don’t give up on your goals. Keep doing what you do best finish out strong. And fight for what you want and keep
The freshman fifteen is a belief that students in their first year of college gain fifteen pounds. However, is the estimated weight gain of fifteen pounds actually accurate, and what would the cause of this weight gain be? Students typically gain weight their first year of college for various reasons. Some of the reasons that they gain weight are because they can't afford healthy food, they do not know how to cook, they do not have time to exercise, and they do not have time to make a proper meal.
This year has to be one of the most frustrating years I have ever had. I never been a person who likes to do homework or sometimes even class work. First semester was the roughest part of my senior year. I was taking zeroes for assignments and failing classes that I didn’t care about. I was always working on either credit recovery or grade repair. Once second semester came I realized that I was going to have to step up my game. I slowly made progress throughout the second semester but was still in a deep situation because of first semester. I never realized how much people wanted to see me walk
It was January 2014 the beginning of spring semester 2014. I was really excited to finally go back to school and start achieving my goals. I had gotten 5 classes because I wanted to overachieve and get over requirements. I got all my books and started to go into my classes I said to myself " I can do this It will not be hard I have always gotten good grades even if I dislike the class". I have to confess it was a little bit harder than I
My sophomore year, now looking back on it, was a complete failure in my opinion. My grades did not reflect what kind of student that I think I really am. I don't remember quite frankly why I struggled so much that year. All I can think of is that I just didn't really care about my school work that much. I thought that if I just do enough to get by I could make it through high school.
Throughout all of High School, I have longed to create more meaningful relationships with my fellow students. I do not consider myself to be socially awkward, however, often times I will have difficulty with being sociable or actually getting enthused about making more friends. This senior year, I am determined to push myself to make more real lasting friendships and to finally learn to be a distinguished outgoing social individual. Not only will I accomplish this goal I have set for senior year, but I will also gain an invaluable skill that will help me for years to come in my social life, college experience, and even in work relations.
Freshmen year is essential although it is by no means as essential as Junior year because during junior year a student is a preparing for college by taking significant test that determines a students college choices, going to on the job training that help provide the skills and training in order to have a job and it’s when a student is preparing to choose what college(s) they enroll in.
I had made some friend towards the end of junior year. So when I started senior year I had two friends. We ate lunch with each other every day. We hung out and made fun of each other. It was the type of relationship I hadn't had since freshmen year. The type of relationship i needed to allow myself to open up. I gained more confidence and started to talk to my friends friends. So i had a lot of people i knew and who i would say hi to when i saw them. i felt finally accepted into this community i had felt singled out by for so long.
Through most of my high school experience i have somewhat struggled. My freshmen year i did not end it with enough credits due to my procrastination the first quarter of my sophomore year I spent it as a freshmen, so i worked to earn the credits i was missing to become a sophomore. Still the three quarters left of sophomore year I struggled, yet did not ask for the help that i should have had asked for, but thankfully I passed. My third year luckily i spent it as a junior all 4 quarters, and i am glad to say I stopped many of the things that i was doing in the last 2 years of high school which was not focusing on what was important, school. Instead i would choose to hang out with friends rather than doing the homework that was due the next day.
My freshman year at SLUH started off in an interesting way. I was enrolled into the reading course during the summer. I had a small class with eight or nine other students. There was one student in particular that really stood out from the rest of us. He had no filter whatsoever. I have never experienced someone like this in my and so I really had no clue to act or respond to the student. He would scream out random facts throughout the course that had nothing to do with the book that we were reading. Everyone in the class kept urging him on to more stuff like that and I usually found myself doing the same. For some reason we all thought this was the funniest thing in the world. It became a routinely thing throughout the summer. I could see my summer school teacher getting
The first portion of my freshman year is a poor reflection on who I am as a student. An incorrect choice in major, inadequate use of college resources, and poor mental health led to my GPA to plummet lower than it had during my entire career as a student. The second half of my freshman year does a better job at portraying who I am as an individual and as a student. I am dedicated, ambitious, and willing to learn from my failures rather than let them define me. During that second semester I was willing to do whatever it took to turn my academic status around and once again become the best student I could possibly be. This included speaking with numerous counselors, meeting regularly with teachers, and every single resource made available to
I had always been ready to graduate and start my new journey as a college kid. There were times in high school when I had to study hard because a subject or topic didn't come too easy to me, and then there were times when I didn't study, simply because I didn't need to. Getting to college, the stress level had already sky rocketed even before classes started (That's just how I am). I looked around and realized, I really was on my own from this point on. My high school was very a small school in a very small town.
My senior year was contained the most stressful points and challenges I’ve experienced in life so far. Between life, death, with some major decisions to be made, anyone could see that I was struggling. Everyone tells you from an early age, “Keep pushing, stay positive, and that everything will always work out in the end.”
When thinking of an incident where I experienced failure, what comes to mind is the end of my first semester of junior year. My report card came in the mail and when I got home and was already opened by my parents. The look on their faces said everything, no words were exchanged just looks of pure disappointment and sadness. My parents just like any, wanted me to do well in school and to hopefully go on to college and become successful in my career choice. As you know junior year is said to be the most important year, grade wise in high school. I didn’t realize, just like in freshman and sophomore year, how important doing well in and taking school seriously was. My parents assumed my freshman year grades were just low because high school was a new thing to me and I was adjusting.
My first two years of high school felt pretty easy for me, even with the honors and AP courses I had taken. In fact, they felt a little too easy. I was raised to always challenge myself and do my best, but try not to fail. If the first two years felt easy, I wasn't challenging myself, therefore I was failing myself. I decided to step it up and face my most difficult challenge my junior year of high school.
