Recommended: High school student anxiety

Throughout all of High School, I have longed to create more meaningful relationships with my fellow students. I do not consider myself to be socially awkward, however, often times I will have difficulty with being sociable or actually getting enthused about making more friends. This senior year, I am determined to push myself to make more real lasting friendships and to finally learn to be a distinguished outgoing social individual. Not only will I accomplish this goal I have set for senior year, but I will also gain an invaluable skill that will help me for years to come in my social life, college experience, and even in work relations. In a strange way, the only obstacle that stands in the way of my goal is myself. All of my fear, insecurity,

  • Social Competence And Social Skills Essay

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    When students miss out on social opportunities in a typical classroom they are missing out on opportunities for academic enrichment (collaborating on projects, working in pairs, participating in class discussions) as well as personal and social enrichment (making new friends, playing games). The long-term goals are to continue building relationships over time and having greater social competence. “The earlier we can intervene with these children and teach the necessary social skills, the more likely it is that they will become adjusted and socially competent young adults and adults” (Stephens 2). Adolescence is a critical time in society; it is a developmental period where children have an experimental foundation for developing a variety of social skills. Therefore, if we implement these skills at an early age, these children will be able to apply them to their everyday lives and communicate with others more

  • Junior High Research Paper

    Junior High is a very stressful place to be. There are many teachers who inspire you and are nice to you, but you have been the teacher to stick out the most to me(in the most amazing way, of course). You always make sure I am ok and if I am not then you sit down with me and give me advice on what to do. I have never had a teacher do that for me before. An unknown person once said, “The best teachers teach from the heart. Not from the book.” That quote reminds me so much of you because this whole school year I have seen that you truly do care about your students and their well-beings.

    As I checked the boxes for my senior year schedule, I decided to choose a first period class I never would’ve gone toward in my freshman year. I envisioned the benefits that a first period study hall would entail-the ability to complete last-minute homework or get iced mochas with my friends before class. Two nights before the first day of school, I checked my schedule and was met with an alarming slew of sentences and pieced them together in panic: first period...student aide….sixth-grade Spanish teacher? This was All Wrong. I wasn’t going to get my study hall, and I was also going to have to cut out flashcards and grade quizzes in the very place that was the source of my Pulitzer in dramatic diary entries a few years prior?

    The beginning of high school was particularly fun for me because it was a new experience for me and a great one because I was with all my friends since we were all in the same school again. I did not take the first year, two years in high school as serious as I realize now in senior year that I should have. I used that time to just hang out and have something to do with my friends, not to improve my knowledge and better help my education. I never failed a class but I did not work as hard as I now realize I should have, but I think my failure to work hard in my early high school help me set up and be a better person in my senior year and even more now as I am planning on moving to college.

  • Socialization in College

    Many individuals claim that college represents the best years of their lives. Socializing plays a large role in this famous saying. What exactly is socialization? It is the manner in which individuals interact with each other. Socialization offers a student the opportunity to meet new people. Each student has his or her own approach to meeting fellow students. While some find it easy to make new friends, others are not as comfortable with the process. Factors such as attending a public or catholic school, coed or single sex school, play a role in the development of one’s interactive skills. From my experience, I have noticed that I do not have an easy time conversing with women, probably because of my having attended an all boys’ high school. Many times the students with whom I quickly connect come from a similar background. Each person’s experience determines how...
