During my years of school, I learned a lot. Everything may not have always being something good that I learned, but it was all helpful in the end. Looking back on my previous years of school, there’s a lot I can speak on to help someone from falling in my footsteps. You’ll often catch majority of all teenage girls running in a crowd while completing middle/high school. I was one of them girl. I thought it was cool to have a gang, as they would say. I ran with a group of girls for the longest in middle school. My mother would always say, “They aren’t your friends. You don’t have friends.” Her lectures always went through one ear and came right out the other. Of course I wasn’t going to listen, I was young. I wanted friends at that age. It took me a while to realize what she was trying to tell me. To make a long story short, while in school, avoid running in groups. Hanging with a crowd of people will only bring negative effects on your life, NO POSITIVE. Being your own person and keeping your circle small can keep you out of a lot of unnecessary trouble(s). Those friends that you think mean you a bit of good will have nothing good to offer you, besides headaches and having your …show more content…
I never started on work as soon as I got. I would sometimes wait two-three days before the due date to start, if not sometimes the day of. For example not knowing where to start on a school project, or forgetting to write your homework down can all lead to procrastinations. If you have an assignment to complete and you don’t know how, ask someone for help. Always at least read the directions of an assignment when you get it so that way so that way you can have something in mind about what you need to do. Rushing to complete an assignment at the last minute can result in a grade that you won’t be happy about. Always start on work at least 4-5 days before it’s due. DON’T
People say high school is supposed to be the golden years of your life. I don’t know what else in life is to come; however, my philosophy is to live in the moment and make the life you’re living in the present worthwhile into the future, not only for you but for those who surround you. I live my life participating in our community and getting involved in our school. The activities, and the people I’ve formed relationships with, are what have formed me into the person I am today. The person I am today is not perfect, but I have learned from the mistakes I’ve made.
According to Lucinda Basset “You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.” So as I went on through high school the most important things i have learned is how to read and write better (almost like an author) as my English teacher, Mr. Ruoff, is an amazing teacher and knows what he's doing, He teaches us to be better at writing assessments and important things we will use in college as we graduate.
Procrastination has become such a bad habit for me. It is very hard to stop procrastinating everything once you have gotten into the habit of doing it. Once I had a term paper due for my religion class. It was to be ten pages long and we were told to spend a lot of time doing it. Being the procrastinator that I am, I waited to the very last minute to do it. I waited until the night before to do most of it. Needless to say, I was up very late that night. In this class there was always a part of the paper due on a certain date before the final paper was due. Having things due before the final paper is due keeps me on task and keeps me from procrastinating until the day before the paper is due. There was one paper which we had to get sources for a while before the paper was due and it forced me to keep up with the paper, rather than let it go to the last minute. This class has taught me that the earlier you start the more positive your final result will be.
Our regular gang was sitting in the middle of 8th grade English. We were all seated in a circle in the back corner of the old, smelly classroom. Our "enemies," as we called them, were seated in the opposite corner. Mandi, Summer, Kristi, Lindsey, Anna and I were all pretty close friends then. It seemed like you had to be in one of two groups, ours or theirs, to even be talked to by everybody else. Our "enemies," were more or less what you might call the "preppies". They were the few who could get the boys to do whatever they wanted, had lots of high school friends, and could look at the teacher the right way, to get an A on their reports. We got along fine with them, except when a new girl came into our class. The new girls always seemed to start a cold war between us. Last time, we tried everything to get the new girl, Kristi, to hang out with us instead of the preps. We ended up "winning" Kristi over, which made the new meat worth even more.
In my life, I have learned a variety of different lessons whether it be through school, or home life. While in school, I always set my mind on the bigger goals, and pushed myself to do my absolute best. Through doing my best I learned that hard work and the right mindset can get you anywhere. My teachers and mentors, have always pushed me to think outside the box and push myself to try new things and explore new boundaries. In my classes I strive to make sure everything is turned in early and done to the best of my ability. While in high school I had the wonderful opportunities to be a part of different clubs and organizations that require different aspects of myself to be showcased. In Future Business Leaders of America, I learned leadership
...friends” then they would interpret my words differently and make me look like a bad person. Rumors were spread, arguments took place, and I lost those two friends because they couldn’t treat me right. I learned to not be friends with anyone who might spread rumors about me or that might be too easily offended. I found out that the popular kids can be mean sometimes. I was made fun of for my oversized sweater. The sweater used to belong to my older cousin whom I admired. I didn’t know why they thought it looked funny when I believed it was the best piece of clothing I ever owned. The popular group taught me to keep dressing the way I want. Then my attire could make the girl upset and I would be the one comfortable at school. Therefore, my peers taught me about life and myself. This group affected me because I learned to not fall under the norms and make my own trends.
Let’s flash back in time to before our college days. Back to then we had lunch trays filled with rubbery chicken nuggets, stale pizza, and bags of chocolate milk. A backpack stacked with Lisa Frank note books, flexi rulers, and color changing pencils. The times where we thought we wouldn’t make it out alive, but we did. Through all the trials and tribulations school helped build who I am today and shaped my future. From basic functions all the way to life-long lessons that helped shape my character.
My High School life has helped shape the way for my college experiences that I will face. My senior year in high school is not the same as many other high school students. I am taking many advanced classes to help me prepare for college. These classes help me better understand exactly how much harder I must work to succeed.
Do not procrastinate. Choose a task and start working on it. Delaying a task will only make it that much hard to get started. Commit yourself to working on the task for a specific amount of time each day until it is completed.
In taking this course, I was extremely nervous. This was my first college class and I was nervous. Starting the course with no knowledge about the course. When I started and got a partner it helped me a lot.
My tragedy may not seem tragic to others, but to me it was the worst thing that could have possibly happened. It was second semester of my freshman year when I joined the football team. I was at lunch when when my friend had come to me saying that there was an opportunity to join football, and that if I was interested that I would need to speak to the head coach. Interested in the opportunity I went to speak with the coach. From the beginning I was told that if I had wanted to play I would need to keep my grades up .
School is only for the open minded and strong, the weak cannot survive. You may have learned about math, science, social studies, and language arts but only a handful of students actually learn lifelong lessons to be in a productive society. School holds many things in its classrooms and hallways. Having great teachers and mentors will benefit you in school. Their wisdom and knowledge will contribute to you in ways unimaginable. School can teach you plenty and these are a couple of the many of things I have learned over the 3 years I have attended Eagles Landing Middle School. To begin, I was always a spoiled rotten "know it all" and none of my teachers could tell me I was wrong without me having to be disrespectful and malcontent. I was constantly sent to the principal office and I.S.S with Ms.Temple. Talking was one of the most terrible things I did. I would take all day long so I could be seen as a rebel, cool, and a leader. My teachers called me into a meeting that consisted of me, Ms.Resse, Ms.Bullin, Ms.Smith, and Ms.Hariss. They all told me that I was bright and...
Choosing proper friends is a bit difficult task but not impossible. We should have a group of friends who are disciplined and punctual individuals. This is essential because of the reason that we start becoming like the people we hang out with most. If for example one or two of our close friends are involved in bad habits such as smoking, drinking and taking drugs, sooner or later we will follow suit. This is the reason why it is advisable to make a proper choice when it comes to making friends. True friendship is as a matter of fact a blessing enjoyed by a few. Those who have it should thank God for having true gems in their lives and those who do not have a few good friends should constantly strive for new ways to secure good friends. No company is better than having a friend by your side in times of need. You will remain happy in your one room apartment if you are surrounded by your friends; on the other hand, you cannot find happiness even in your mansion if you are alone.
I have been through so many things in my life and I have made many bad decisions. The best thing with making wrong decisions are learning from them. One of the worst decisions in my life was dropping out of college when I was younger. One day I’m hoping to show people no matter how old your are or what your have been through, you can still go back to school and help people but it first starts with yourself. Deciding to go back to school was hard, but I wanted to make a difference in someone’s life.
Throughout high school, I had my same friend group that I had since middle school and elementary school. I always tried to make new friends, and join groups when I could, but I learned that the group of friend’s I had were a great group. My friends and I were in many of the same clubs, which made it more fun being in those clubs, and knowing people.
