High School Musical

My senior years has been great so far. I hate that it’s coming to end so quickly but there will bigger and better things for me after high school. I’ve missed out on one major senior activity because I was out was out town for an AAU basketball tournament and then I also missed the make-up picture day because I received the email notification on day the pictures were supposed to be taken. So therefore I missed both appointments for my senior pictures which sucks because my picture won’t be in…

tough image. When I entered high school in 9th grade I started off as the tough football player who played varsity. It was just 3 of us freshmen who made the varsity team. I was very happy but I never felt as good as I should have. Being that I sung in the church choir, I went and joined the school choir. So before every practice, I would go to choir and right after I would go work hard at football practice. Through the choir, we did performances and play at other schools. The choir director…

Freshman, the newbies to the the world of high school. Seniors, the wisest of them all. Although they both have their similarities they have plenty of differences. Seniors know the school like the back of their hand. They can navigate their way around with ease. No problem at all. To the freshman, the seniors are their tour guides to this foreign land that they've step foot on. Seniors play the role as the wise elder of the community that the newer generations come to when faced with a…

I was like you once. A new senior in high school. You just finished junior year and now you are the top upperclassmen. You looked up to the seniors before you and just knew that they had it easy. Junior year was the hardest for you and now you get to lay back and relax. WRONG! Senior is the hardest year for high school. I am really sorry to tell you that the seniors before you may have looked like they had it together, but they just were trying not to freak out everytime they got a new…

A very significant place to me that I’m sure I wouldn’t be the same without is the track, more so the track team at my current high school. It changed my life for the better. There may be times when I don’t feel that way, mostly at practice when we’re doing difficult and tiring intervals, core work, or even when something I really don’t want to do comes up, but if I really didn’t enjoy it then I would have quit a long time ago. Through track i developed a mindset to not give up on things easily,…

Looking back, high school wasn’t really all that bad. In fact, the experiences that I went through, whether good or bad, has shaped who I am at this moment. I remember back in freshman year when I thought that high school was going to be the worst four years of my life. As a young middle schooler, I had been warned by various movies such as Mean Girls about the high school life and treated it like a documentary. At that time, I had this idea that everyone in high school was rude, evil, and out…

Eighth Grade was in the past, and not a day went by when I did not think about High School. I was excited to make new friends, to be in a whole new environment, and to get a sense of maturity. I knew high school would be the most important years in my life, because that is where you develop benevolent qualities, like responsibility, that carry with you into college. Throughout my life I have always be waiting for this day. Didn't think it would come so fast. So nervous my body is shaking, Trying…
