First week of high school

Fun, scaring, exciting are the feelings of my first week of school. This is a brand new experience of my life having to leave my friends and teachers in middle school behind. New school, new friends and new teachers are all part of this new school year. This one is different though, it’s the first week of high school.

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.

    8th grade, 8th grade from the opening day to the signing of the yearbooks. This is the year of memories, goodbyes, and regrets. 8th grade and I’m still realizing that there are people in the world that would die to go to a school like this. A school where every body knows everyone’s name, respects everyone, and where violence and fighting are about as common as the Yankees missing the playoffs. When I’m done with my homework and go to bed, as the days of 8th grade wind down, summer will come and go, and I will find myself in one of those giant, scary places called high school.

    Freshman year of high school careened past my very eyes before I had the maturity to fully comprehend the knowledge and life experience that was being imparted to my young impressionable intellect. The somewhat nebulous idea of high school loomed before me, acting as both a mirage and a reality. The atmosphere itself was cramped. Every detail about the school was small, building size, classrooms, the student population. Yet in a broader sense I was overwhelmed by the enormousness of the task that lay before me. I was more concerned with surviving the first year than with anything else.

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.

    My first day of school was better than I thought. I left out the front door and took a deep breath and smelled the fresh air. Shortly after that I got on the bus and sat all the way in the front. I was a shy individual at times but somehow some way I had to overcome that fear. The first week was the hardest challenge, because my classes all acknowledged me as the new student. However, it only took two weeks for me to get used to how everything was. I started off with only three friends, and that ended up being my friends of today. I knew that I couldn’t be the same guy I was in Detroit. My personality will never change but my ways had to change for the better. I didn’t want to hang around any bad influences or people that pressured me a

One would perhaps have mixed emotions as to what to expect. Observing the new students around the corridors, it transpires as if they are dragging their feet to progress inside, for the reason that they are fresh from the blissful summer days; they are in exchange, yet again, to the reality of school homework, projects, reports and tests. Some have queries and doubts in their minds; what does one expect of themselves getting into a high school life such as this? “What remains in store for me, I wonder…” “This school year is going to be subsequently much tougher

  • My Personal Experience: My First Year Of College

    The first semester of college is hard. My half sister, an occupational therapist in training, likes to point out that given the mental development of most eighteen year olds, going to college is one of the most intense transitions of someone’s life. Throughout all of high school I knew I wanted to leave the west coast and move as far as possible. Fortunately I love the east coast even when my cravings for savory Mexican food and dry heat still leave me with pangs of homesickness. In addition to being immersed in a new culture and weather, I was starting over and had to hold my own for the first time. I had to make new friends, create my own schedule, and take care of myself. My first semester had all of these challenges and more. I fell for modern love and got dumped, realized I did not want to pursue my ‘dream major,’ and my grandpa died; all testing my newly reconstructed mentally healthy state of mind. In hindsight I am proud of myself for getting by and even consider my time here the best months of my life
