Walkinging into high school on my first day was like entering a new country for the first time. Unlike all the other kids around me I was super calm and a little too excited. Instead of sweaty palms I had shaking arms because I couldn't wait to meet new people and make new friends. That was always my personality so I think I had it much easier than the other kids. Coming from a bully filled middle school where all anyone wanted to do was get high and have sex, going into a different high school with different people was not that hard. Going into middle school was one hundred times harder than going into high school. The people at ACIT were so welcoming and nothing like William Davies Middle School. The people here had their own personalities which I enjoyed the most. No one followed a crowd and did what they thought was “cool” like in my old school. ACIT was just as I expected it; a normal highschool with talented kids in different types of academies. I expected it to be a little more strict and proper than other school, which it was a little but not as extreme as I though. This school still has the normal highschool feel, despite what everyone else thinks outside this school district. As this school year went on, I can honestly say my feeling towards school changed drastically. Yes it is still hard and yes some classes can be boring but …show more content…

    Transitioning into high school, I experienced many changes. I became interested in sports, specifically football. I was introduced to a larger group of people since the entire county of teens went to the same singular high school. I actually grew taller! I started to see the world differently as I grew older. I noticed how different life was for White people and Black people in my small area learning to behave differently in mixed company. White people were not real. They were plastic like the characters on television as far as I was concerned. No one told me this, but I came to that conclusion based on my experience with them—as limited as that experience was.

    Walking down the hallway of high school and feeling like an odd person was a horrible feeling that I ever had. New country, new people, new school and not a single person that I knew. It was like a nightmare. I still remember my first day of high school, my first day in American school. I felt like everyone was staring at me and it had not even been a single week that I was already thinking to quit. It was like two road diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference.

I knew very little of him, but what I did know was that he sent his son Jesus down to earth to save us. Often I believed that if you do many good things you would go to heaven.

Sports were becoming less fascinated to me. I got in a habit of drinking every weekend and surrounding myself with bad negativity. Everything went downhill from their.

    High school is a time in life when teenagers learn a lot about themselves. Personally I learned that I have to work hard to get what I want and that I could do anything that I set my mind to. For me coming to Rockhurst High School was initially a struggle. Although I was had straight A's before high school, I soon realized that high school could not be compared to middle school. The school district I came from was nonaccredited at the time and did not prepare me to be well equipped in high school. I knew that coming from one of the worst public school districts in Kansas City to going to one of the top private high school schools in Missouri, would not be easy and I was up for the challenge. Starting out freshman year I noticed that my grades were not what I had hoped for them to be and became very worried. Instead of taking the easy way out and transferring to an easier school I decided to challenge myself and stay at Rockhurst. At the end of my freshman year I

A car horn blares outside and I know it’s time to leave. The atmosphere of the room tenses. My living room no longer feeling warm and inviting. I grab my plain black backpack up off the couch and walk outside. The cool September morning air rushes across my face and I breathe it in deep. Today will be a long day and this is my last moment to have some peace and quiet. I turn the key in the lock and jog towards the oversized blue suburban with my friend giving me a ride to school. Today is the first day of high school.

    Entering the high school, I knew it was going to be a challenge I was not prepared for. Towards the end of middle school, the teachers tried to scare us about how high school would really be. They talked about how the work would be super hard, how the teachers were going to be stricter, and how it wasn’t going to be easy at all. My first day was packed with homework. I wasn't expecting the teachers to give us homework on the first day; we never had homework on the first day in middle school. It sort of seemed unreal to me. I was hoping that everything would come easy in high school and I wouldn’t have to worry about cramming homework in almost every night.
