The Value Of High School Life Essay

Improved Essays
High school. It changes people into the person they said they’d never become. As my friends and I matured throughout high school, some of us changed for the better and some for the worse. Only a couple of my friends, or who I thought were my “friends” had changed for the worse. Some people who were my friends at the beginning of freshman year, I am no longer that great of friends with now. High School definitely has its way of changing people, especially myself. Here I am now, as a senior, very grateful, with the old and new friends that decided to be in my life. I wouldn’t of wanted to end my journey in high school without them. From freshman year all the way until now, my friends and peers have guided and helped me grow in such positive ways.

    High school. People say it’s either the best or worst four years of your life. Of course they never give you the details of what makes them the worst or best years. Which means, I, a terrified 8th grader convince myself that they will be the worst four years of my life. Honestly it is easy to guess that. 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!…

    Update: With graduation next weekend, I can say that my senior year was one to remember. Overall, I became friends with people that I never thought I would have the chance of hanging out with before. “The Crew” is some of the best people I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Each one of them is unique in their own way. I thank God for putting me in several classes my senior year with them. If it was not for Him, I would not have formed these lasting relationships. I started out the year being friends with individuals that I thought would always be there for me, and it ended up that they were not when the going got tough. It was really hard at the beginning of the year losing close friends, whom I have known all throughout high school, but…

    My Freshman year was very different for me because I had changed from Franklinton Middle School to Bunn High School. I hated it at Bunn because I did not fit in and I felt like a outcast. There was some crazy looking people there but I am not the type to judge but they were some weird people. After a few days people started letting me sit with them because I would sit at lunch by myself. I had became best friends with this senior named Casey she was very nice, but how we became best friends was because one day her ex boyfriend’s parents were trying to get them to break up and she started having an anxiety attack in first period so i took her to the bathroom so no one was all in her space and so she would calm down. She attempted to call her mom, but her anxiety…

    Senior year is one that should be unforgettable. It is the one where you start to realize who you are and some find out who they want to become. We grow to know one another as a family, an East High Blue Ace family. High school has taught me countless lessons, like being the most popular is not important at all, getting to know the people you thought you would never talk to is a very favorable experience, and never waste a second on someone who wouldn’t take a bullet for you. There truly is a friend for everyone, you just have to reach out and step out of your comfort zone. Although we grow apart and go our separate ways, we will never forget the moments of celebration and traditions, the reflection of who we once were, and who we are inspired to become.…

    This is my first year of high school, and so far I am enjoying this year more than any of my previous years in elementary school at Aviston Elementary. In the past years, I was a stressed out loner who was easily annoyed by everything and could not get long-term projects done without having a melt down at some point. However, in this year that has changed. I have made a few friends who have stayed with me for the entire year, learned to tolerate immature, childish actions, and have not felt completely overwhelmed to this date. This year and previous years both had their moments, but I would not change anything that happened because they both helped make me who I am now.…

    Senior year was the last hoorah my friends and I had together before college. The first day of senior year I walked into school, it was almost as if I could smell the freshly pack of new pencils being opened. I could hear the squeak of the girls new flats on the floor and the music coming from everyone's headphones in the hall. It was a refreshing thing to see the faces of people I had known my entire life. My grade was very close knit and I am so grateful for that.…

    When I first started high school Freshman year was kind of a struggle for me. I wasn't taking things as serious as I should have. The transition from middle school to high school was distracting and overwhelming with a much bigger social scene. Sophomore year was my roughest year of high school. My granddad has a stroke and passed away after a long hospital stay. In addition to my hurt and pain I was struggling with Geometry and Chemistry I never gave up and I always came to school early/late for additional tutoring from my teachers and peers. Junior year was much better for me, maybe because I was more mature and had been give more responsibilities. I realized how important it was going to school and maintaining a good GPA. As a result…
