Personal High School Experience Essay

Before high school, I always thought I was an average student, but when I transitioned into high school, people started to point out that I had potential. I began to work harder than I had ever before and I began to accelerate in every course. This never took a toll on me till the tenth grade, when my mental health started degrading. Anxiety was my first foe. During the beginning of the tenth grade, I had set high expectations for myself and it began to affect my life greatly For instance,…

The Northview High School Experience of Jarred Wulf I remember the day I was a freshmen sitting in a lockeroom full of seniors at a NV hockey summer camp at Kent State, the words “ Take this all in with you kid, high school flies by so fast”. That stuck with me all four years of high school. It 's crazy to think that a high school experience or high school hockey experience could change how you look at your life and future so much in such little time. The words, “ where am I going next?” or…

What I have learned from my past educational experience in high school is that life is not always fair. I have learned getting good grades is long and hard work, and that if you want to achieve good grades you have to manage your time and work around being able to study and have fun as well. I have learnt that joining clubs has helped me have fun as well as learn things I enjoy. I have learned to manage my study time to coexist with my cheerleading and track practice times, as well as my work…

When I go here it was a similar atmosphere. Everyone was friendly and the homework load was not as much. At first, I did not feel at home. I felt as I was in a foreign place like summer camp. I would not see my parents on the daily but have responsibilities I have to uphold. It was hard at first but after a…

Throughout my attendance at Prospect High School, I have conducted myself in a positive, mature and sensible manner, which includes wearing my uniform with pride and prestige. I have viewed the school values of respect, fairness, integrity, empathy and optimism as a way to model my behaviour in my day to day life as a role model to my peers. Over months past, I have engaged in several extra-curricular positions which have equipped me with the necessary skills for the future. These include being…

Everybody experiences life changing events throughout their life. Some may say learning to ride a bike, learning to swim, meeting a famous person or accomplishing a goal.

My high school experience has allowed me to be a part of the band, choir, theatre, and Spanish programs. These experiences have all shown me unique aspects of my life and the lives of those around me. Because I was homeschooled until ninth grade, I never got a real chance to be a part of the community like I did when I became a freshman. Throughout my high school career, I have learned many things like music, Spanish, and how to treat other people. At Vicksburg High School, all three of these…
