My Experience In My Life In High School

Improved Essays
Throughout my high school years, I have met a plethora of people that have come into my life and then were gone by the next year. Ever since my freshman year of high school, I have always felt like I was struggling to figure out who I am and what my purpose is. It seemed like my life was getting more hazy as high school progressed. My senior year of high school, I found myself skipping class a lot even more so than my friends who were known to skip class a ton. My 2nd semester of my senior year, a little over a month before graduation, I met someone interesting who had a similar taste in activities that I did. My friends knew him, one of them even worked with him, and before I had the chance to meet him I would constantly hear weird stories …show more content…
There was a weird connection between us that neither could deny, though. Every new thing I tried with him seemed to draw me closer to him. As summer began to fly by right before my eyes, I began to really cherish the time we had spent together. As much time that we had spent together, I knew we could never work out in a relationship. Even though we resembled closely to a couple, the idea of college coming up shortly continued to crush all my hopes in us becoming something more serious. We were both such similar people with such different experiences ahead of us. I seemed to have grown so dependent on someone who will no longer be around when school started for us both. The goodbye was one of the hardest goodbyes I’ve ever had to make. He promised we would stay in touch and we would see each other school breaks, but I knew that things will never really be the same. He was not only the person that helped me figure out who I am, but he also changed me in a way. Us growing apart doesn’t change the fact that for a while we grew side by side. Our roots will always be tangled and I’m glad for that, but I grew attached to someone who will never feel the same attachment

    Looking back on it, on how I got to where I am. I don't know how i did it, when you run into something ,with the power to knock you down- you get back up! I've considered myself a sort of mellow guy, but I can be very intense. It's funny because you can't tell by looking at me. Most people say they can't read me, but I think i am a fairly simple guy.…

    "Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence" I have had many ups and downs over the course of my life thus far. One specific example of this took place during my freshman year of high school. When I started high school it was very challenging for me, partially due to the fact that; during this time, I was lazy, unmotivated and did not really take school seriously. This by far is one of my biggest regrets to this day. Who would ever think that not trying during my freshman year would continue to follow me throughout the course of my academic career.…

    There was too much to teach them with so little time. I worried that your return home would be awkward from the distance we created over those months, however it wasn’t. You came back and we picked it up right where we left off. We don’t speak to each other as often as the past, but when we return home for breaks here and there, one of us sends a text to meet up. You and I still chat at four-hour brunches as though we never departed.…

    If I had said this to my boss either one of these statements they may not fire me right away but they might keep a mental note of my actions use it against me at another time. The best scenario in my opinion is to do the best job that you can that way you release some of the pressure from your self because you were instructed to do so. I believe that hardest thing for me is finish things it could be simple or difficult but for whatever reason I don’t finish well. Now that I am in college I can look back and say I should have been in school a long time ago.…

    In high school my most outstanding example of a time when I set an example as a student leader was my sophomore year in high school. My sophomore year of high school I was brought up to the varsity soccer team, the team that I was on was not extremely hard working and or dedicated. As a sophomore I was afraid to stand up and verbally tell the entire team that we need to step it up, or we are going to have a horrible season, so I decided to make my statement apparent by my actions. First, I started by always being the first one to every practice, putting pressure on my other teammates to do the same, in result everyone started to arrive to practice earlier. The second step I took was difficult since I was one of the youngest players and the…

    After our difficult relationship, the fights we duked out, the misfired love. I began to unravel a mess of untouched realizations. It was all misfired, all messages received at the wrong time or as if our love had been speaking different languages. All of that came back together at full force, a grand infinite love collapsed in on itself to propel me forward. And it came through that imaginary voice of hers, rushing in through the air in my ears and out through every exhale.…

    Track and field has been the highlight of my high school life. The social aspect, the large assortment of events from which to choose, and the people I met are things I will always treasure. I especially loved the fact that there was always a place for everyone. If you weren’t too quick, then discus was your event. If you could build up quick bursts of speed, long and triple jumps suited you.…

    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. A wise Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” This quote is an excellent way to describe my experience in high school.…
