First Day In Highschool

Improved Essays
The first day of Highschool is perhaps one of the most memorable days of your life. Walking into a new big building, being assigned a locker, and shown your schedule, the hustle, and bustle of kids running back and forth to their classes, the laughter echoing around the halls. And then you, standing in the middle of it all it feels almost as if you were on pause and the rest of the world continued to play. Feeling alone, frightened, but at the same time excited. For me, it was that and much more.
. The first day was mostly uneventful. I casually strolled through the halls trying my very best not to look as if I were a new incoming sophomore. However, I soon learned that I was as obvious as they come. Fortunately, my best friend from

I remember as the year came to a closing and our teachers, and principals were bidding us adieu. I was hit with a stark realization that my best friend wasn’t to be staying in America for the summer. It makes sense if you were to step back and really, truly think about it. However I was just caught up in the joys of friendship and had no time to think about the reality of life. I sadly sad goodbye to my best friend at the end of the school year. We hugged squeezing the daylights out of each other. As she turned and walked toward her gate to get on the plane I waved one last silent goodbye and turned to leave. I reminisced about our good times, how we had met the first day, nerves flying to and fro. I reminisced about how we used to share tight fisted giggles in class in order to not disturb the teacher. I reminisced about how we used to sit in bed together and talk about our latest crushes. But most of all I reminisced about what it was like to have a best friend so close I considered her a sister. So while most people remember their first day, or the embarrassing things that may have happened on that day, or the joyous events, or even their first back to school outfit. I too will remember those things, but most of all I’ll remember the lifelong best friend that I made my first year of

    Even though the year was 2012, I don’t think that the high school experience ever changes when it is your first day. Speaking from my experience, it was awful. I of course got lost multiple times, was late to all my classes, and even showed up to the wrong class. The first couple of weeks that I was experiencing wasn’t going how I had planned it to be, I was struggling in my classes and I didn’t have anyone to talk to at lunch or in between classes. That was until one day when I came across the novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, in which I felt like I was no longer alone or at least the only one who felt this way.…

    Maquoketa, upon my initial impression when I moved here in 2012, was a small quiet town and although that is something that I now I know it is also so much more. I was in middle-school when I first came but it was in high school that I truly grew to appreciate the wonderful community. My first year of high school was certainly unnerving, although I had previously attended an elementary and middle school that were more than double its size it still held an allure of suspense over what may soon come.…

    First Day of School in America I face challenges everyday in my life. My family and I moved from Cuba in July 2011, two weeks before I was supposed to start High School. We moved here because of my dad’s work, he is a pediatrician and he had better opportunities here. My mom wasn’t sure about moving here, she didn’t want to leave our country, our house and her parents, and I just didn’t care about it, since I was too little to think that going to another country was going to make a really big difference in my life.…

    Spring has arrived and so has the beginnings of a new school year, seeing the same faces just months ago, but everyone has somehow changed, even if only a little. I left my home this morning expecting nothing out of the usual, though I left earlier so I could take my time watching the cherry blossoms before the day began. As I was walking to school I forgot how beautiful the sakura were. I always hated walking up this ridiculous hill every day but, the rows of sakura made it a little easier to deal with. Although besides that I was not very excited about starting school again.…
