So, you are going into high school? Oh, the memories and friends you will make.

Join clubs, play sports, and make the most of this sometimes dreadful few years. You will be miserable at times, it is just part of the experience. You will also have some of the most fun of your life here. It is balanced, though it may sway at times.

Always keep your grades in check. You will not believe how fast they will drop, much like hot potatoes. Your grade point average(GPA) is a huge deal. I gave up during my sophomore year and my GPA suffered for it. It went from a 3.5 to a 2.3 in one year, and it was nearly impossible to bring it up. Do not do that to yourself, it is a huge mistake. If you are like me, you will not completely understand what a GPA is. A GPA is an average of every single grade that is on your high school report cards. One bad grade and it will plummet. Be aware of that whenever you feel like giving up because it is one of the main things that colleges look for when accepting students. …show more content…

    Junior Year Failure

    I enrolled in Spanish again to make up that F and I enrolled in APEX classes, which is credit recovery classes for students who either earned a D or an F on a course throughout the year, APEX allows students to be able to make up classes. I understand that it wouldn't be the same since some of the classes i got Ds in were AP classes, but i was determined to complete all my APEX classes with an A. This year I feel so determined to finish this year strong and try to make up for the failures i had in the past.

    High School Diploma Persuasive Speech

    Even though it would be a good idea to make a bill about people who cannot get their driver’s license until they get their high school diploma, it is not the best idea for everyone. Most people graduate high school, but not everyone does. Most are high school dropouts. That means if they dropped out of high school, they would never get their driver’s license. They would have to live somewhere where they had a bike, someone else to ride with, a bus, or you are in walking distance of everything.…

For some, the result hiding behind the veil for 4 months will be satisfying, and will cool the anxiety down and reaffirm their self esteem. For other unlucky souls, however, the truth hidden behind that placid veil may be upsetting, and a huge blow to their self esteem. This high school admissions system works in this cruel but robotic way, sadly, and many 8th graders, as a result feel rejected and hopeless when they receive their results.…
