Personal Narrative: A Career In High School

Improved Essays
It is very crazy to me to think that we have already been in school for a quarter. For the first time in my life I actually wish that time would slow down. I know people say “I want out of high school as soon as possible,” I think differently. Once you graduate, you have to face the fact that you are an adult now and your parents wont be there to help you as much. The faster you graduate, the faster your out into the real world at college or working.
It is very funny to me how throughout high school I told people, “I just want out of here so I can get on with my life.” I would rather be a senior in high school forever. It is weird to think everything this year will be my “lasts.” This Thursday could be my last football game ever, I am not

    Before high school, I always thought I was an average student, but when I transitioned into high school, people started to point out that I had potential. I began to work harder than I had ever before and I began to accelerate in every course. This never took a toll on me till the tenth grade, when my mental health started degrading. Anxiety was my first foe. During the beginning of the tenth grade, I had set high expectations for myself and it began to affect my life greatly For instance, after finishing the test, I would think about just one specific question that I thought I completed wrong.…

    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.…

    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.

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.…

    As a teenager, I find it interesting to think back to being a little kid who could not wait to grow up. When I was younger, I idolized teenagers- I think every elementary age child places teens on a pedestal. I always thought teenagers were so cool and could do anything they wanted. Obviously, I soon learned none of those beliefs hold any truth in reality.…

    With always looking forward to certain times, I will never be able to appreciate what is happening today. Whether it be a countdown to: Christmas, Graduation, or till I move into college; I will not be able to look back and have fond memories if I am constantly looking into the future.

    It is coming down to my last week of school. This journey that seems forever will be over. I never understood people when they would say to me “before you know it you will be graduating, walking across the stage”.

    I am not here to extend my high school years by 4 but rather to get my degree to better myself in the future.

This will be my last semester on campus and the thought of graduating from what I believe to be the best university is a thought that almost brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. I am extremely proud of what I am about to…

    Future Plans One might consider graduating high school an ending to a part of their life, but I would consider it the beginning. This will be the first time most high school graduates will be able to make their own life changing decisions. There are things that I know I want to accomplish to achieve my future career goals; most likely not doing all these things right after high school but sometime in my lifetime. Attending culinary school, and college is what I am thinking of doing right after high school.…
