Transitioning from high school to college is difficult. There is a huge increase in amount of homework. Quizzes, tests and midterms are harder compare to high school. Writing at the college level is difficult for me because English is my second language. Figuring out what I was planning to major in was the hardest part because I entered college not knowing what I was interested in doing.…

There are plenty of human resources available to assist me in the transition from highschool to college. There are academic advisors, couselors, tutors, and upperclass students willing to answer any questions I may have. Overall, college is definitly a new experience in terms of expectations. There is alot of work to do, but alot of time to do it if you actually manage your time wisely. Freedom is a new privilege, however, not everything that glitters is gold.…
My first year at Cedar Shoals was unforgettable, I had no idea what to expect. Most people consider going into highschool as one of the big parts of your life. I was hesitant for the change since I was going into a much bigger school and meeting new people. I went into freshman year with a positive mindset, making new friends & knowing it was going to be MY year. I had faced many successes academically and faced a few failures that I am going to improve my sophomore year so I don’t make the same mistakes.…
My high school experience at High Point High School began as frustrating then it became positive. Being academically independent, since elementary school, I did not feel that high school was going to be a major difference, but I did not take into consideration of a new ambiance with new challenges. One thing that remained the same was the fact that I was always reserved and I stayed to myself. I thought that in high school I was going to be able to leave my shell and be more outgoing. I was wrong, I am still shy and still quiet, but high school did teach me valuable concepts that I will carry on through college.…
Mid-School Crisis One moment in my past that changed my life was the transition from middle school to high school. Before finishing 8th grade, I’ve basically had the same classmates since 3rd grade. At that time, I’ve known these people for almost half my life. Every school year I went through was with familiar faces. I knew things were going to change eventually; however, I naively thought nothing was going to be different until maybe high school graduation.…
For this paper I am going to compare my freshman year to my senior year. There is a big difference between the two so have fun reading this Mrs. Firzlaf. My years here have been different and similar in a lot of ways so here we go. There are certain things that didn't change from my freshman year to my senior year and one is the classes and teachers. Obviously you have to take gym…
Because they want me to be self-reliant, my parents already leave a lot of extracurricular and school-related planning up to me. Because I have already learned the necessary time management skills, I don't think that it will be much of a challenge to adapt to the challenging classes and diverse extracurriculars at…
How I changed since Freshman year Freshman year is the year of adaptation. It is more of ‘fight or flight’ situation. Basically, if you get through freshman year, you’ll survive the rest of the high school years. And because adaptation takes time, you are very prone to make many, many mistakes. I entered Trimble Tech High School with a very immature mentality.…
During my high school years my experiences have been positive and diverse. Freshman year I joined marching band. Sophomore year I began working and earning my own money. High school has taught me much about myself, others, and community. I have found that lifelong learning is key to personal growth and success.…
Failure, among many other challenges, is a struggle that most of us go through in our daily lives. For some of us, it is easier to correct our mistakes, but for others it is much harder to do so. Failure helps us realize our mistakes so that we can learn from them and better ourselves. It is something that many of us are afraid of, but it is something that we all must face at one point in life.…
Incoming Freshman at Gonzaga Prep I am looking forward to attending high school. All the movies make it seem so scary to go to high school, but I am excited and a bit nervous. I have many friends that either have attended or attend Gonzaga Prep and came out loving their experience and I hope I can too. I was definitely scared the first day of school because who is it a little nervous on the first day? Although Gonzaga Prep will be more challenging than the previous schools I went to.…
With the new school year starting so does the ARP program. Although the program has only been running for one whole week i find myself remembering much of what has been covered during my time in both the ATP and ARP last year. Primarily looking over the syllabus there is a great deal of overlay in terms of the workshops and expectations. However, regardless of the limited time spent in the program this semester the differences are blatantly obvious primarily to prior knowledge i possess when starting the semester. Of course, not to forget new first for me a classmate freely and openly drinking alcohol during class.…
My new attitude has made me the person I am now: Someone who is positive, and who believes that if I take my time, concentrate, and do my work, I will accomplish my goals. Not graduating on time taught me that education is the key part in my life. I need it to succeed. There will be tutors and teachers who will always be there to help and make sure you don’t fail. Mrs. B is an awesome high school teacher who will make sure you are comfortable with the work and make sure you understand the problems you are doing.…
