Graduating middle school is a accomplishment, but entering a new school with new people, new teachers, and a new system is scary. The first day of high school is always scary. There are certain fears students have the first year. For example, some are scared they might not have friends in a class, and others are afraid to be in the wrong classroom. No matter the fear eventually the student will get over it. Three fears that I had were getting lost, not getting to class on time, and lunch. To get over these fears I studied the map and went to the open house with somebody I knew had gone to the school already, I would walk fast and pack up a few minutes before the bell rings, and I would review lunch with my friends and set up a place to meet. …show more content…
I got over this fear by studying the map and going to the open house with someone I knew had already gone to the school. When I first got my schedule, I noticed that my classes were in both buildings. I was scared that I would get lost. Not knowing where I was going was something I didn’t like. To get over this fear I studied the map. Studying the map multiple times was a useful way to get over this. I would create a way to get from one room to another. I also went to the open house. The open house was useful because I got to see what other ways I could take to get to the classroom. Getting lost in school was a big deal, but studying the map and going to the open house was a useful way for me to get over
Anxiety ran throughout my entire body the morning before my first class of college began. Not knowing what to expect of my professors, classmates, and campus scared me to death. I knew the comparison to senior year of high school and freshman year of college would be minute, but never did it occur to me how much more effort was need in college until that morning, of course. Effort wasn’t just needed inside of the classroom with homework and studying but also outside of it where we are encouraged to join clubs, get involved and find a job. Had I known the transformation would be so great, I’d have mentally prepared myself properly. It’s easy playing “grown-up” in high school when one doesn’t have to pay expensive tuitions, workout a
Change your response to the fear as you confront it. You can, for instance, learn to laugh at your fear. This is what comedian Kevin Hart learned to do, and he became
Making the transition from middle school to high school is a huge stepping stone in a teenager’s life. High school represents both the ending of a childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It’s a rite of passage and often many teens have the wrong impression when beginning this passage. Most began high school with learning the last thing on their mind. They come in looking for a story like adventure and have a false sense of reality created through fabricated movie plots acted out by fictional characters. In all actuality high school is nothing like you see in movies, television shows, or what you read about in magazines.
Starting high school is tough for some people. Moving to a new city is also tough for some people. Or me I had to deal with both. I can remember my very first day of high school, I was so nervous. I didn’t make any friends over the summer so I didn’t talk to anyone. I was pushed out of my comfort zone to talk to people and make new friends. A few months into school I received my first interim. It wasn't the greatest but , I blamed it on my transition to high school and promised that
In the end, I figured out that I was right to be scared of high school. What happens in those four short years can change the course of the future forever. It’s important to soak it all up and take in as much as possible. Most of the things learned in school are not things that can be learned from textbooks. I figured out that hard work looks a lot better that just being smart and that a positive attitude along with a smile can work wonders. The most important thing I learned so far was to just go for it, no matter what it is or how impossible it seems. Being afraid of things and holding back on change doesn’t help any cause. I learned a lot in that first year of school and hopefully I’ll have the same kind of experience with my first year of college.
As I opened the doors to Lynn Gross Discovery School P.S. 17Q. I felt the butterflies in my stomach. It was the first day of school in America for me and had a bad feeling. My mom, my dad, my sister, Monica and I step inside the school. I looked inside the enormous hallway and the walls covered with artwork and pictures. My dad commanded my sister, Monica and I “I have to go to the office and do something. You two sit down on the benches and wait with your mom.” Monica and I agreed and said, “Okay.’’ I felt the clock ticking by and I wished for the world to stop turning. I waited and waited and waited. Finally, I decided to ask my mom something. “Mom, do you know how to say I don’t know how to speak English in English?” I asked her in Russian. She told me how and I tried to remember. I repeated the words over and over again like a singer trying to memorize the lyrics to a song, until my dad finally came out the office. My dad told us “You are now officially students of P.S.157. Now it time to go to your classrooms” in Russian.
The first day of school is always very stressful and full of fear for the incoming underclassmen. Going back is usually a complex process for the students, as well as for the parents. It’s the time of the year where the halls are full of not-so-cheerful students aching to exit the corridors, along with teachers attempting to fill their tired heads with useful information. While getting back to school is supposed to be a great thing; due to seeing friends, freshmen are living a horror movie during their first day of high school.
You are about to walk into a new chapter in your life and boy is this scary. You have to figure out how to change classes, remember all your new teachers names, make new friends, figure out where you were going to sit in the cafeteria, and the list could go on and on. You were just in elementary school… were you had the same teacher for an entire year, and could play with your friends on the play ground every day and your only worry was who had the better snack. Wheww… wasn’t that the life.
Why did I not listen to my fear earlier and just studied? The fear I felt those days was internal fear: the fear of failure, the fear of success and lack of self-worth and doubt. Those fears had halted me at first but in the end, they also motivated me to pass my exam. This occurrence made me realize that fear can make us ignorant at times and can make us fail to see the consequences of the outcome. But, fear can also encourage us to shove through our hardships and make it to the finish line. In her O Magazine, Oprah Winfrey informs us, “whatever you fear most has no power--it is your fear that has the power.”

Middle school was a big deal, I was scared and didn’t know what to think of my first day. Having to switch classes and have a different teacher every hour was a scary thing, I was use to having the same teacher all day with the same kids which I thought was great spending all day with my group of friends I thought was the greatest thing ever. But I had to get over that, I had to learn a whole schedule of classes, going from class to class all day and I thought that it was impossible to do but man was I wrong. First day of middle school came and I was scared I didn’t know if I would see my friends or if I would have class with my friends or if I would have to make new friends. On top of that I would have to deal with eight teachers instead
Most freshmen like me that enter the school are scared. I think the first week of the school is the easiest since there would not be a lot of homework and what you need to do is to listen to what you need for the class and know other people well in the class. But I am wrong, as soon as you get seated on your assigned seat, new teachers start to introduce themselves and start giving tons of homework. As the bell rings, I start rushing to my next class hoping that I wouldn’t be late. The first day of school is always the hardest since you don’t have any new friends and you have to sit in the cafeteria alone when it is lunch time. As day starting to go by, I found myself getting earlier and earlier to class. Talking starts to increas...
Entering high school at the age 14 is a scary experience for myself . my parent stop worrying about my sleep curfew and I will stay up so late during weekdays. My sleep schedule was so horrible during high school. I felt emotional and develop more self-esteem problems throughout high school. My eating disorders had worsened because I had poor eating habits . Finally, Junior year I decided to make a health change and watch what I put in my body. For example, I stop drinking soda and only reach for water. I maintain a perfect ideal body size for my height and lost all the baby fat from joining aerobics classes.
I was so excited yet so terrified at the thought of my first day in
