High school is supposed to be a one more step closer to college; it’s supposed to be preparing you for the future right? Wrong. My experience in high school was very different; I never quite fit in with anyone, the “friends” that I thought that I had used me for money. Let’s just say when I was a freshman I had a friend whom I knew from grade school, her name was Meghan Lawrence and she was the kind of person who I really believed I could tell her anything and she would keep it to herself. Once again I was proven wrong, I developed a crush on a boy and she knew that I had a crush on him; one morning before class both he and she went to the corner store, she thought it would be funny to tell him all about my crush, which he tortured me with, playing with my emotions, made me feel like he might actually like me back. …show more content…

The whole first year, I was in ESE classes, which meant I was too slow to be in regular classes, which hurt my self-esteem, growing up, I didn’t quite understand things explained to me and in elementary school, I was in a class that had 35-40 kids with only one teacher. I tried to keep with the other kids in the class, but I never could keep up with them, so my parents pulled me out and enrolled me in a progressive school because they thought that would be a better out for

    It was the beginning of freshman year. I didn’t know what to do or how to react to the people and classes in high school. I was so nervous and shaken about what was to come this upcoming year. My fears of getting lost in the hallways, being late for class, or not being in a class with someone I knew were looming over me. I was in some advanced classes that my other friends were not in. I was scared about what people would think so I felt the need to change who I was.

  • Personal Narrative: My First Year Of High School

    One of the biggest lessons I've learned is to never give up and that everything in life happens for a reason. Throughout my entire life my dreams have been put down by society, wether it was a coach, friend, or family member. Everything I gain is because of me and only me. When I started my first year of high school, I knew I wasn't ready to maintain my academics, my social life, and my sports schedule all at once. I was completely intimidated by everything occurring in my life at the time.

    When I was entering into High School, I tried to join as many clubs as I can, since I wanted not only to be superior in grades, but also extracurricular activities. So as usual, I joined Key Club. At first volunteering at the events was fun, but as I went to more events, it felt as if it was a chore. I did not feel any passion; it was rather tiresome.

    Everyone seemed to be having the time of their lives, the feeling of being free from high school finally sinking into their minds. Forgetting about all of their problems for the night, and letting loose. My mom always says that I’ll regret this when I grow up; not living the full high school experience. But what is really considered the “high school experience”? It is just going to parties, homecoming dances, prom, and being in relationships? How cliché.

  • Personal Narrative- The Things I Learned from my Freshman Year of High School

    My palms were sweating, my heart was racing, I had no idea what to expect or who I was going to meet. I was never the type of girl to embrace new situations, I hated change and I wasn’t very good with meeting new people. I figured once I got to high school it would be my chance to start all over, turn the page in my book of life, and flip over a new leaf. I wanted to finally be the girl that fit in with everyone. I had imagined myself going to parties with big groups of my new friends, having sleepovers and doing all of the things cool high school kids normally do. I was certain that my high school career would be just like one of those really corny teen movies and I would live happily ever after with the homecoming crown and the boy of my dreams. I don’t think I could have been any further from the actual truth. Things don’t always turn out how they are planned and my high school dreams definitely did not live up to my high expectations.

  • Personal Narrative: My Middle School Experience

    When presented with the question of what I think I will remember the most from my middle school experience, the first thing I think of is the Catholic education. At Carondelet, there was a very large emphasis put on learning as much as we could about being Catholic. I enjoyed that very much, as I am very interested in learning about my faith. Church is a large section of my school experience, and it would be strange to not continue that in high school. Carondelet instilled the idea of giving back to the community through volunteer work. At Carondelet, we work together as a community to help those in need. It feels good to help others and I would enjoy going to a school that values service to the community.

  • Personal Narrative: Looking Back In High School

    I'm psyched to begin high school this fall! The biggest thing I'm looking forward to is the freedom I didn't have last year. It's not that big of a deal, but I'll finally get to bring my backpack to class! I'll also get to go wherever for RAISE without having to sign out of our anchored RAISE class like we did in middle school. I'm interested in joining after school clubs like partners club and participating in the school plays! I want to try to do as many activities as I can because I never did much in the last two years. This includes being on the JV field hockey team and trying out for crew! I probably wouldn't have played any sports if my friends didn't encourage me. They're the best! I hope I can make even more who are in different

    While in High School I dint get much homework, I always had time in class to do my homework and class work. College has twice the amount of work had in high school. Before coming here to WMU I already knew that it was going to take a lot of organization and time management to be successful. In High School, I didn’t have to study for tests, I always used to pay attention in class then go over my notes 20 minutes before and still Pass a test. These last few weeks I have been trying to develop a new studying method, but it’s very different and difficult. The change that am I experiencing isn’t bad, its actually good that I am getting challenged and trying to adapt to being on my own and having a lot of freedom. Another thing that have changed

    Going forward, I already became accustomed to the high school life and I had settled in… maybe a bit too much. I started my sophomore year confidently and like always I tried my best to earn the grades that would reflect upon me; however, as much as I tried, for the first time I disappointed myself and received a D in the first semester. I solely blame myself for not trying hard enough, but the way the teacher taught was also really confusing and made it worse for me. This teacher just didn’t teach that well and it seemed as if it was her first time although it wasn’t. She didn’t explained the concepts thoroughly enough for her students to understand and I know this because when a different teacher retaught it to me, I completely understood

    Only after my second year of high school, I was propelled into the adult world with full responsibility placed on my shoulders. It was the first time I was going to be away from my parents for a while and I had to make it through the seven weeks living in a dormitory living with the people whose names I didn’t know until the day before. To further add onto the stress, I had to take a placement test on a subject that I didn’t learn in a classroom to show that I was capable of handling the work that the new college class demanded. Furthermore, this was a very prestigious school that I went to and I had to really prepare myself for its rigorous challenges. To my surprise, I was relived to find out that I ended up passing the placement exam but

    On May 21th, 2006 my life was changed forever. One day in kindergarten my teacher got a call on the intercom saying “Can you send down Hamdi to Ms. McCarthy's office”. The whole class started teasing me and saying “Hamdi’s in trouble, Hamdi’s in trouble” and I immediately bursted into tears. Imagine how I felt when I get called down to the principal's office then get mocked by my peers for getting in trouble. In kindergarten, I was the “goody two shoes” to the point where even my teacher was shocked when I got called down. When I got there with my puffy red eyes, there Ms. McCarthy was waiting at the door with a big smile on her face. She went down on her knees to the point where our were eye to eye and said “Honey don’t worry, you aren't in trouble”. I was so relieved, then she had me come into
