My Four-Year Experience In High School

Decent Essays
High school has very memorable phases in everyone’s life that no one will quite forget about it. My personal opinion on my four-year experience is that it was not as amazing and fantastic as some people try to make it out to be. There are many things I would actually change if I could get those four years back but that’s ok because it only made me grow into the person I am today and I’m pretty happy with myself.
I was not always the best student out there and it looked like I did not care about my work, which I did. I wasn’t failing but I defiantly was not doing my best. One of my favorite things to do in high school was to ditch class and for some reason I hardly ever-got in trouble for it. Senior year came faster than expected. This was

The funny part was I did pretty well on test and quizzes. My favorite subject was math and I maintained a good grade through out the whole semester because that the only homework I would actually turn in on time even thought I could not get to class on time. I would constantly hear from everyone that if I do not pick myself up now I would not be able to graduate. It was pretty annoying that no one had faith in me but myself but at the same time it was funny because I knew I was going to do …show more content…
I never understood where everyone was coming from when they said I wouldn’t be able to graduate by second semester I was taking 3 classes that were important two gym classes where one of them I help out special needs kids during their gym time and one class where I help out the deans pass out dean slips and consular slips. In my four years of high school I was pretty much an outcast, so I became pretty close with the people in the office, which defiantly helped out in the long run. Every now and than my dean would like say, “I’ll see you in summer school” after noticing I’ve ditched a couple times in the last few weeks and I would always be like, “Oh no you wont!” he didn’t really seem like he believed it. The worst part was when my consular sent a letter to my mom saying that I’m getting a D in one my classes she almost had a heart attack because she thought I would have to repeat senior year. No one had faith in me. It got hard sometimes-hearing people not believing me judging me trying to tell me what I can and cannot

    "Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence" I have had many ups and downs over the course of my life thus far. One specific example of this took place during my freshman year of high school. When I started high school it was very challenging for me, partially due to the fact that; during this time, I was lazy, unmotivated and did not really take school seriously. This by far is one of my biggest regrets to this day. Who would ever think that not trying during my freshman year would continue to follow me throughout the course of my academic career.…

    A Hero's Journey The last month of summer before my junior year started was occupied with pondering and wondering what I wanted to accomplish during the upcoming school year. Sure, junior year sounds like a blast, filled with fun memories and friends. But it also doubles as approaching the cliff of adulthood that I would hit in two short years.

    I almost had a heart attack when I received my math test with a big fat red F on top of it. It was the third F I've gotten alone in just math class.

I was going to have to do summer school if I didn’t get my grade up, and I already had my vacation planned out.…

    Don’t get me wrong, high school was a breeze for me. I didn’t struggle terribly. I was ranked in the Top 10 students in my class, helped take my softball team to State two years in a row, and got along well with all my classmates and teachers. One thing I didn’t do in high school that was different than all of my peers was work on college and scholarships. The idea of college was frightening.…

    What do you remember from high school? Friends, sports, pep rallies, standardized tests. You wouldn 't normally think of standardized tests when thinking of things you remember from high school, but for many students that struggled with them in high school it is a large part of their high school experience. We should stop using Standardized tests in Texas schools because they have changed the way teachers teach in a detrimental way, have delayed students’ graduations, add unneeded stress to students’ and put a strain on already tight school budgets.…

    My second year of high school was difficult for me as I had taken on my first AP class and I had learned that my aunt had been diagnosed with cancer. That year took a toll on my grades, overall GPA, and class ranking, which all went down because I focused all of my attention solely on my one AP class. I would also be constantly worried about my aunt and I would catch myself drifting off just thinking about her, hoping that she was okay. Junior year, I was determined to obtain a higher GPA and a better class ranking, and as a result I would skip out on family events when I had homework to do…

    Growing up I was set to believe that high school was going to be difficult for me , and many of my teachers had their doubts that I couldn't move up to the 9th grade. During my years in middle school were possibly the funnest years of my life, but I knew I only had three years till things got really serious. Keeping up with school and focusing on getting into college was all that was told to be on your mind. Many thought I wasn't prepared because of how I acted in the classroom and how I behaved. Having fun and being with my friends was all that had been on my mind.…

    Entering college as a student with little to no guidance of what to expect, made my transition remotely difficult. My mother completed two years of college, and my brother failed his first semester and dropped out of college, which made me curious as to what challenges I would face in this new environment. My first year I received a C and C+ in History and Pre-calculus respectfully. I was naive in the truth that I should have used office hours to solidify my understanding in these classes. My sophomore year I made another decision that would impact my academic standing by joining a Fraternity regardless of my lack of understanding of Greek life.…

    Self-Reflective Essay College was nothing I expected and the transition from high school to college was tough. During my senior year of high school, I took easier classes unlike everyone else who took harder ones to prepare themselves for college. In my classes, I never had to study or worry about the workload, but in college it was way different. I wasn’t sure how to study for exams, so I struggled at the beginning of the semester.…
