This quote reflects my high school experience because I thought that once I finished middle school it would have been the end of my journey. Of course I was wrong, it was only the beginning. I thought it would only be just this one beginning, but I realized that it has been many new beginning as in making new friends, and meeting new and fantastic teachers. As well as being exposed to many amazing things to learn.

Some of the trends I notice on my transcript is that in the 9th grade my grades we're A’s and one B and this continued on to the second semester with A’s and the one C. The as it progressed to 10th grade my grades started to range from A-C’s and most of the good grades I had were from classes I liked and that I understood. The Classes that I had the easiest time with being English and Math. The ones I had a harder time with were Spanish and the classes that I felt neutral about. The trend cooperate with my life because in the 9th my sister was always checking up on me seeing if I was caught up in my classes (she was a junior at the time) and if I needed help I could go to her. The 10th grade came and she didn't really have time to

Some of the things I can do in classes are ask questions and try to understand as much as I can on the subject. Ask the teacher if there is anything I can study at home to help me improve my skills it can be written or memorizing. The after school tutoring teachers offer too is another opportunity I can take to improve and make sure I have a successful end to my high school career. I can also change how much I procrastinate and wait till the last minute of my work and try and improve by keeping a planner on me and writing when will I start doing

    Another trend I see is that I am getting more elective classes which to me means that at least it does to me is that am getting all my credits for all my classes. This year the classes that seem easy and I understand quite well are English, history, chemistry, and of course my core class. Those are the easiest classes, in all honesty, I think these classes are easy because I stay after school if I don't understand the lesson for that day or the homework .My hardest classes and the one that I have been struggling with the most is math. I just don't seem to get the material no matter how hard I practice, I even stay after school for the homework and sometimes I do understand it this just means that I have to work a little harder than others to understand the lesson , homework , the lesson for math .…

    There have been a lot of challenges I have had to face in the past 17 years already, but the biggest one that has impacted me the most and impacts my future was my early years of high school. When I was a freshman I was entering a new school, new surrounding, new life. When I was 13 -14 years old, the things that mattered to me most was to be “popular” and cool, and care about making memories and friends instead of good grades. I wasn’t thinking about how right then, what I was doing, could effect my whole future. Junior year…

    What I have learned from my past educational experience in high school is that life is not always fair. I have learned getting good grades is long and hard work, and that if you want to achieve good grades you have to manage your time and work around being able to study and have fun as well. I have learnt that joining clubs has helped me have fun as well as learn things I enjoy. I have learned to manage my study time to coexist with my cheerleading and track practice times, as well as my work schedule. Although there has been times throughout my high school career that has been tough to do both studying and extra curricular activities, my parents have helped me strive and push through it all.…

My freshman and sophomore year of high school i struggled academically and didn't really focus or care enough about my grades as i should have. i had all the support from family and friends that i needed but i still took my grades and GPA for granted. i don't think i was was mature enough to take into consideration how those beginning years of my high school career were the most important years and could make or break my acceptance into the college of my dreams. it wasn't until my junior and senior year where i grew up a little and took school and grades seriously but even though i studied hard and became more focus in the classroom it was too late and the damage had already…

    To some, thinking about high school principals may come with a negative connotation resulting from a disciplinary visit to the office or from a lack of understanding between the two sides. Their principals may seem too overbearing, scrutinize the most minor offenses, and use intimidation to get their way. My high school principal, Mr. Timothy Olson, in no way fits that description. He fosters an open environment, Roncalli High School, where he encourages students to express their individuality. Mr. Olson does not separate himself from his students; He meshes with them in order to become relatable.…
