My years in high school were quite thrilling and adventurous. Starting as a freshman, I had no idea where I was going and what was going to be expected of me. Over the years I became involved with extracurricular activities which led to my primary interest I had developed in technology and the sciences. As a freshman I joined the Students with Future Interests in Technology Club, Spanish Club, and Robotics Club. These clubs stayed with me till I graduated high school and I have loved them ever since I got involved in them.…

For most students, the transition from middle school to high school is the evolution from childhood to adulthood. In my case, my middle school graduation was a quick transition for another reason. The first few months of my freshman year had my parents rushing my grandfather in and out of the hospital because of his failing heart. By this point my grandfather had battled off colon cancer, 3 heart attacks, and 2 open heart surgeries. At age 74 he was not a candidate for a heart transplant but he was able to get a defibrillator.…

High school changes people. They express themselves, become opinionated, and they start to look at the world differently as they experience things they have never encountered before.

The journey through High School could sometimes be difficult for some people, but for me it was all about having to shift my focus to school and do whatever needed to be done to insure that my schooling would have a positive impact on my future. My high school experience, as of now, has been pretty good considering that I had to make some changes to how I view education and its importance.
