High school came easy to me because I wanted to play baseball. I kept my grades up to make my parents happy to play ball. While in high school, college was just an afterthought. I knew I was going to college. That was the expectation.…
It’s Thursday Night Football season, meaning we get a bunch of bad football and colorful uniforms that may or may not make for a bad viewing experience. Not a lot of teams get their Color Rush uniforms done right — I’m looking at you, Jaguars, with your dijon mustard lookin’ threads. One team that does get it right, and has since Color Rush started, is the…
My excitement came from all my older sister going to high school and me wanting to know what was so different, and why couldn’t I be in classes with all my sisters. I thought it would be all fun and games like the movie High School Musical. It definitely was a different change. There was so many students for there to be only 4 grade levels their. The teachers expected so much from you in such little time.…
A year had passed and my scars over the State loss were beginning to heal. My desire to win over a uniform kept coming back to me and kept me fighting for that position on the squad. When I was in a sophomore year, I finally earned it. Whenever I finally succeeded in making my dream happen, I was a little disappointed. I thought that picking out the uniform with my team or practicing the cheers would bring me pure joy, but that year was far from pleasant.…

High school ends with a graduation when twelfth grade is completed and the twelfth graders are going off to college. Then college comes. This is where it gets tough.

Eighth Grade was in the past, and not a day went by when I did not think about High School. I was excited to make new friends, to be in a whole new environment, and to get a sense of maturity. I knew high school would be the most important years in my life, because that is where you develop benevolent qualities, like responsibility, that carry with you into college. Throughout my life I have always be waiting for this day. Didn't think it would come so fast.…

Since my middle school journey is coming to an end, I am getting excited to be going to the high school. I am going to be the little kid that gets lost and that is new. Similarly, I am currently the older kid but now in high school, I will be the younger kid. I disfavor that every time you become the sizable kid, you then become the new kid. There will be new things for me to try out and more clubs to join and I will get more freedom than in middle school; I dislike that I will be the new kid in the school.…
In high school the classes are harder, your grades matter so much more, you have to write more and sit in class longer. On the outside high school looks like one giant stress ball that is going to knock you out the second you walk through the door. There was no way I had a chance of making it through high school! When people asked me, “So, Emily, are you excited to become a high schooler?”…

Incoming Freshman at Gonzaga Prep I am looking forward to attending high school. All the movies make it seem so scary to go to high school, but I am excited and a bit nervous. I have many friends that either have attended or attend Gonzaga Prep and came out loving their experience and I hope I can too. I was definitely scared the first day of school because who is it a little nervous on the first day? Although Gonzaga Prep will be more challenging than the previous schools I went to.…
