Junior school

If someone asked me to repeat my Junior year I would say that they are crazy. Junior year was nothing like I expected it to be. I can easily say that my junior year was one of the hardest years I ever experienced. From the moment I woke up to the time I would go to bed this year was particularly different from the others. An honors student who thought that she was so smart was torn down and forced to reflect. I decided to take three college classes in my junior year, but did not know that it…

Junior year of high school is a tough one. You’re still trying to find yourself, yet you load up on courses and push to get straight A’s to impress those colleges out there. You begin to craft an application essay, learn more about each school, and narrow it down to a few choices so you can go visit them come spring time. Nope, that wasn’t me. I couldn’t find myself, and I was still in the early stages of planning out what I really wanted to do with my life. Didn’t care too much for school…

she did.” This motivational quote has inspired me in many ways throughout my high school years. Throughout my junior year of high school, academically, I feel like I have improved my time management skills by taking three AP classes as well as an after school class during second semester. On a personal level, I feel like I have grown to become more comfortable and confident in myself. One of the highlights of junior year was my ability to challenge myself as well as my ability to continue…

I was introduced to running in junior high school. Here, as part of my Physical Education requirement, I was required to run a mile every Wednesday. At first, I greatly disliked running. I would run out breath after 0.25 miles, and would barely finish the mile at a time of 6:26. Over the course of the year, I started to run around my local neighborhood. These short runs would be 20 minutes, and later in the year, these runs increased to an hour. With these runs, I noticed a considerable…

together for eighth grade. Then one day Charlee’s mom said to us “Charlee, you won’t be going to Hickman for eighth grade.” She sighed, then continued “You are going to Oakdale Junior High for your last year at middle school.” Her mom’s only reason for making her go to Oakdale was, so she can have friends for high school. After she told us this, I just wanted to cry. I knew I couldn’t break down, so I said to Charlee, “We will talk everyday and see each other almost every weekend.” I knew what…

Madame President. It was a common name I was called my junior year of high school. That is because during the school year of 2016-2017 I served as the Holland FFA President, as a junior a rather unheard of feat. Both of the presidents that served my freshman and sophomore years had been the respected seniors. I was scared, however, I had been elected to lead and I was going to do the best I could. In the past, the FFA Chapter had not been that successful. We had a pretty large group of…

In Junior high I was the worst kind of student imaginable, my homework was never finished, my grades were awful, and I just didn’t seem to care what was going on around me. During my 7th and 8th grade year I had straight F’s at one point, I didn’t think school mattered, but then I moved on and when I finally reached what Junior high was supposed to prepare me for I was clueless. My math skills were terrible, science just seemed like gibberish, and English was just an absolute mess. After a…

Junior Year. Everyone says junior year is the most strenuous year of high school. I underestimated that saying because I just thought junior year was going to be equivalent to my last two years of high school--stress free, I was clearly mistaken. I encountered many obstacles throughout that school year that I consider to be failures. One failure that really took a toll on me was getting a C- in Chemistry. I know that a C is still considered passing for most people, but to me, getting a C is…

Water, yeah it's an issue at Bedford Junior High School. Now why is it? We can't have water bottles, so when anyone is sick we can't bring water bottles in, unless we have a doctor's note. Which is foolish because I'm sick and have a sore throat and a dry throat, do you want me to pay money just to get a note for you for my water bottle? If you want me to have dehydration during the school year fine let me die. Now if the weather is in the 89-90s they allow us to have water bottles for a week,…

In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports. One day when I went to check…
