Reflective Essay: What's High School?

Decent Essays
What’s high school? This quote reflects on me because I really did not know what I was getting into. When I enter high school I imagined that it was going to be easy as pie, but I was wrong. I didn’t expect to take hours doing my homework like I do now I take up to 4 to 5 hours doing homework some people don’t notice I take that much time, such as my parents. All I think of is doing homework and projects.

My transformation from the beginning to now well there's many thing. Im going to start with my homework back when I was a freshmen I really didn’t care to do my homework. I would be like “I'll do it later the teacher doesn't check it”. I was the same with projects I would do everything last minute I still kind of have that habit s.

Another thing I need to work on is reading because I know if I want to be a doctor I need to learn how to read big words and actually learn a lot of formulas which I think that would be very fun. I also need to learn how to ask for help i'm not very good at that I need to work on letting people tell me what's wrong with my paragraph instead of telling them just write me a note I hate feedback but only when it verbally. I like to read what I did wrong also I think it’s wierd but without weird there's nothing fun to it .That’s what I believe, I think this year i'm going to love writing these essays many people don't like writing but writing is the only way I can express my feelings I just learned that about

    Someone once said, "Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret." This essentially means that discipline will be difficult to manage but it’s a finer choice than regretting your decisions later on. School can be difficult, but the pain of the self-command and devotion will get you much further in your education than lackadaisical and deprecate. It seems to me that future freshmen with a hard work ethic and commitment should attend Early College High School because it saves the student time, money and you provides a safe atmosphere with a supportive audience. Not only is Early College High School a free program…

    Writing was not a subject that held my interest in high school. Throughout the last twelve years I have found myself having to write letters, proposals, and business correspondence for my employers. I would complete the assignment and move on to the next task. Deciding to further my education I enrolled in Daytona State College and my first class was your ENC 1101. I have seen a change in my pre-class writing style; I have honed my skills, and the different techniques I have learned while taking this course have only improved my writing style.…

    Though I am not even half way through my high school career, I feel as if I can still be a help to those who are just beginning. High school is probably the most important part of your life that you are responsible for in our teenage years, so it is important not to mess it up. There are a few concepts that I have figured out by myself that I wished someone would have told me. Those of which include never procrastinate, think about your future, learn how to manage your time, and do not settle for less than your best. My first recommendation is that you don’t procrastinate.…

    It was 2013, and my junior year of highschool, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was at an optimal time in my life, and my future was looking bright. I had everything that a seventeen year old teenager dreamt of having in high school. I had over a 4.0 GPA, great group of friends, captain of the varsity basketball team, and was well known and liked by pretty much the entire school. Up to this point in time, I had led my team to three consecutive league titles where I had earned player of the year 2 consecutive years ,had several newpaper articles, interviews, player of the year awards , and 3 consecutive playoff appearances, and other accolades.…

    Ever since I started Intermediate school, I had no direction, no goals, no motives. I was just a girl who wanted to go to school because I was obliged to. All I did was soccer, so basically, and grades were not part of the picture. As a student-athlete in Intermediate, school work was just a hassle for me. I felt as if I should start a new chapter and change, but I stayed as I was.…

    Going from eighth grade to ninth is a frightening idea to any uprising freshman. For me, I was more than pleased to embark on this new journey called high school. What I wasn't prepared for was the completely different grading scale, joining extra curricula, and becoming accustomed to this new found freedom. I made a wise decision to focus only on my grades instead of trying to join clubs, organizations, and sports. The irony in this is that all our advisers and assistant principles were telling me the exact opposite.…

    High school was anything but easy, or at least that’s my outlook on the whole subject. Although I struggled with many things I was able to push through and make the best of a bad situation, but then again that kind of seems like a kind of motto that one could use to describe my last four years of high school. And even though I switched schools half way through high school with the help of some friends and a big help from art I was able to make it to school and complete my goal of graduating. I Switched schools half way through my second year because I was having a problem with turning in work. Once I was moved to this school I started to fail one class per semester, except for the last semester of my third year.…

    The transition to high school made me realise how much I didn’t know. I was very contempt with my environment during jr. high that I wasn’t looking into the new things I was going to approach. The things the kids in my grade knew and talked about were different than that of the seniors and juniors. Once I saw what was important to the older kids, then I put those things in front of what I enjoyed.…

    High school is a time in life where many important lessons are learned to help a person grow into something better. I have made mistakes in my time in high school and from those experiences I have learned valuable lessons. My freshman and sophomore years I was not a good student. I was not motivated to academically better myself and because of that my grades suffered heavily. Those years of carelessness do not accurately represent me as the student I am now.…

    Being involved is something very important to me and it always will. At the end of high school I was extremely involved. I love being a part of the “behind the scenes,” so leadership was naturally my thing. My senior year I was the Student Body Treasurer, so I would talk at assemblies and I was one of the main faces of my school.…

    I have come to the realization that throughout these four high school years, my ways of thinking have changed. When I began my freshmen year at Claremont Academy, many teachers constantly told me that I “could change the world and my community”, but I only thought they said it to only inspire their students. I was raised in a Christian home, where I was taught that my job was to also change my environment through helping others. I did not come to that time in my life, where I believed those statements to be true, until my last years in high school. As the years progressed, I became very involved in my community through different community groups and programs, and I learned that what my teachers would repeatedly tell me throughout the years…
