Junior Year, hmm, how do I feel about good ol’ Junior year? Lets just say Junior year was full of rumors, and people who just don’t have anything better to do but make you feel like well, crap. Don’t forget a ton of rat faced drama queens flaunting the brand new car daddy bought them hoping to cause a scene. But there was a bright side to all of it, i had a few really great friends. Also a bunch of amazing, understanding teachers this year. I never thought you would actually learn something that would truly stay on your mind for the rest of your life. But I did, to be honest I believe I learned one thing from almost all of them. Maybe I’ll fill you in. Junior year was home to the ups and downs, the smiles and frowns, and all the heartache you could imagine. But from struggle you learn, you learn to be who you are and you tend to find yourself. This year was not the best i could’ve asked for, but i learned a lot. The meaning of life and happiness was thrown at my face, like a 300 lbs boulder. It hit me hard, and out of the blue. Coming into this year I definately tried to expect the best but as the days went on i seemed to have lost myself. …show more content…
I bet a lot of people could agree with me. How could you remember who you are when you’re forced to do this right, and please them. Get good grades, please your family. Stick up for yourself, please society. Dress like this, talk like this, act like that, please our generations needs. High School is like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs. Frightening at times, but fun at others, As the years go by the roller coasters path depends on how you want it to go. Wanting to pass and graduate you go this way on the track, getting you closer and closer to your dream, a high school diploma. You see it in the distance and the longer the ride, the more proud you are. But those deciding to take the path that leads you straight into the ground, where when you crash you lay on the pavement and watch all your friends go higher and higher. You took your own path, and now you get to watch everyone but you succeed. That’s why coming into high school is the scariest. You have to set a plan for yourself and stick with it. Know your path. I learned a lot my Junior year, and not in school.
This year was full of heartbreak and struggle. Losing my first love, struggling with myself really. I seemed to have hit rock bottom, and it felt like i was all alone. It’s like a little kid when he falls and doesn’t have the will to get up. Ya, that was me, all year. It wasn’t until I made the decision that i didn’t want to hurt anymore, and I tried to play God. Laying in the hospital bed with my mom and best friend by my side. I was sent to Las Cruces where I was to talk about my feelings, and why I did what I did. It wasn’t until then how special my life was, even if it didn’t feel that way sometimes. Not only did I learn that your happiness shouldn’t be left in the hands of someone who may walk away, but that there is so much more to life than how you feel right
now. I wasn’t here for most of my Junior year but when I was I tried my hardest to stay focused and just pass. Just pass, I told myself. Even though my attendance was killer crazy, i still wanted nothing more but to pass. With the help of the amazing teachers I had, it has helped me want to succeed even more, Like i said, life is a roller coaster and sometimes you have to fall before you fly. I may have lost myself along the way but with the support of my friends and loving family, I restored the faith I had lost in myself. And by the looks of it, Senior year here I come! That is something I never thought I’d say. But I am so proud of myself for how far I have come. The biggest thing I’ve learned is that you can do anything you set your mind to. Life is hard, expecially in high school, trust me I know. But even when you think your life is over, I promise you it’s not. It’s only just beginning.
...ademic hardships. Even though I lost so much during junior year, I was unaware of the fact that secretly I was actually gaining a great deal of life experiences and real-life lessons for the future. Quite honestly I feel lucky. I feel lucky that I matured early in life; with this new maturity I feel I can accomplish anything. I feel I can make a positive difference in this world. I feel like this experience will be the primary step in my success, in terms of my career, and in the launch of my Children in Need campaigns in third world countries. I feel like the young superman who just learned how to fly, slightly aware of his magnificent impact towards the world. In short, I feel junior year provided foundation for the more mature and adult chapters of my life, and without the numerous obstacles of junior year, I would never gained the key to a successful future.
As Junior year is regarded as your most important year while taking exams such as SAT, ACT, SBAC and AP test. Junior year to me felt very similiar to my Sophomore year in high school, as I still meet new people and friends from sports and got closer to many new teachers. Two new areas in which I improved throughout my Junior year were my character and responsibility. Throughout my Junior year I learned to be more humble and not procrastinate. I learned that majority of the time doing an assignment as soon as possible is almost if not always going to turn out better than waiting until the last
Senior year. The year known for its “lasts” of everything and the start of one 's adulthood. It’s also a busy part of life- college applications, college acceptance, graduation, and even get to know what the terminal disease “senioritis” feels like. Senior year is the last year that I will get the chance to cheer on the football team every Friday night, running track every Thursday, as well as seeing my favorite teachers on a day to day basis. This year is my year, the year that is going to change everything that I have ever known. Senior year is the year that will impact myself, my friends, my family, as well as everyone that surrounds me. It will be the year of change.
High school is meant to be the time of your life, but for most seniors just like me it can be some of the most emotional and crazy time. The things in my past make me who I am today, and the things I do now are the first footsteps into the future. I’ve learned a lot about myself in these past four years, and I still have so much learning to do. This is my high school story; the good, bad, and the ugly.
As young girl with big dreams I imagined my senior year of high school to be one of the best years of my life. I imagined going to homecoming with all of my friends, being the captain of the varsity soccer and cheerleading teams, going to Friday night football games, going to Prom with my perfect date, and going on a senior trip with all of my best friends. I never imagined my senior year to be the way that it is. I am the new kid.
People would tell me “Senior year is amazing, you get to do all these things, and that it is completely different than any other year that you have been in at Amory High School.” You know when your a freshman and a sophmore you may think that is how it's gonna go you think that you will be invisible, but when in reality its different. I would be lying if I said that Senior year hasn't been the best year out of my four years here. It's the same though the only difference is that you have different teachers and every once in a while a new kid comes just trying to make it through just like you. I will miss high school, but this year has taught me so much and has made me realize that I am ready for college and that I am wanting to venture out into the big world.
Junior year has been very enlightening for me. I have gained awareness of the impact my
Everyone goes to highschool so everyone gets to experience what it feels like to be both a freshman and a senior. Typically, most people enjoy their senior year more than they do their freshman year, however there are positives and negatives for both. Freshman year is an introduction to change in most people's lives. Most people become more mature than they were in Junior High and try new things. Then there's senior year which is also an introduction to change in a lot of people's lives. Individuals prepare themselves for college or their career in which they plan on pursuing.
Freshmen year is essential although it is by no means as essential as Junior year because during junior year a student is a preparing for college by taking significant test that determines a students college choices, going to on the job training that help provide the skills and training in order to have a job and it’s when a student is preparing to choose what college(s) they enroll in.
At this point Joy and Sadness had reached their lowest point in the pit of forgotten memories, and now with the help of a friend they are out of that dark place. The two emotions are on their way back up to headquarter; back to their normal life. That is where I was junior year. The problems in my life were being resolved and I had reconnected with my friends. Junior year was going great! All of my classes were going well and I had even raised my overall grade point average. I believe this is the point in my life where I just really opened up. I became a ton my social and expressive. The biggest thing I overcame that year was learning to stand up for myself and not take as much crap from others. I had always allowed myself to be pushed around by my peers and I would do anything to just make people like me. Now, I don’t really care a whole lot if people like me; I’m going to express my opinion on a topic whatever it may be. Also I tried to separate myself from the people in my life who made me feel miserable and lowered my self esteem. I grew so much mentally, and it really has helped me with knowing who my real friends are and where I
My freshman year at SLUH started off in an interesting way. I was enrolled into the reading course during the summer. I had a small class with eight or nine other students. There was one student in particular that really stood out from the rest of us. He had no filter whatsoever. I have never experienced someone like this in my and so I really had no clue to act or respond to the student. He would scream out random facts throughout the course that had nothing to do with the book that we were reading. Everyone in the class kept urging him on to more stuff like that and I usually found myself doing the same. For some reason we all thought this was the funniest thing in the world. It became a routinely thing throughout the summer. I could see my summer school teacher getting
My senior year was contained the most stressful points and challenges I’ve experienced in life so far. Between life, death, with some major decisions to be made, anyone could see that I was struggling. Everyone tells you from an early age, “Keep pushing, stay positive, and that everything will always work out in the end.”
This last year has been a roller coaster, in a year I’ve learned more about myself then I have all my life. I’ve grown up and learned that nothing is just handed to you everything takes at least a little effort and it’s all about how much you're willing to give. Looking back at the beginning of this year I remember looking at my schedule for the first time and thinking about everything I had to accomplish and honestly sadly I can’t say I did my best in everything. I went through a really rough patch when i was diagnosed with severe depression and it set me way far back and i didn’t exactly give it my all in getting back up there in school.
The last year of high school is quite difficult not because you get loaded with homework every Friday night and especially when your friends invite you somewhere. The most difficult part of being a senior is the count down to June ninth, because after that I am on my own. I have to decide my future. All the concepts I have learned from kindergarten to twelve grade I have to decide where i take that knowledge, weather it is being a student at a university or community college, or being a worker.
Although the start of senior year hit me hard, I think now i'm more prepared for the upcoming quarters. I may not be a Principal honor roll student anymore but I can still manage
