In my high school career, I have had victories and failures each one gave me a new perspective on life a new way to live my life without procrastination or low self esteem on my ability to be all I can be, I love that high school made me into a more confident and strong minded person I am sad that this is my last year but that just means I’m opening a new chapter in my book of life.
The first experience was in freshman year when I took Spanish I was doing badly in the class getting F’s and D’s because foreign language I figured out in my high school journey was not my strong suit. I thought that it was gonna be all over at the end of the semester because I really couldn’t fail the class my parents are so strict about how well I do in class
Math was always confusing to me no one could really get through to me about how it really worked, my parents even started paying for tutoring at this tutoring place and we stopped because she couldn 't get through to me either. I had one good year in math freshman year I had it all together I was getting A’s and B’s left and right the assistant teacher just knew I knew how to do it. It all just fell apart after that year geometry, I couldn’t handle geometry I always dangled on the edge of a C in that class I needed to keep that up, because my parents would have grounded me for the whole summer if I got a D so I did my best to keep a C. The fist final of the year, it wasn’t easy, but the test we took before we did in groups so I had people who knew what they were doing to help me through it was an easy B which boosted my grade enough to get a C for my final grade in the first semester which saved me from my parents grounding me. It was going pretty bad I had homework assignments that I didn’t do because most nights I would just get a headache and just fall asleep because I didn 't understand how to do it. I still had to do the study guide and the other study guides so I didn’t get it all done, I wasn’t studying and the night before the final I studied as hard as I could because I knew what I needed to get a C so I studied as much as I
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.
High school is meant to be the time of your life, but for most seniors just like me it can be some of the most emotional and crazy time. The things in my past make me who I am today, and the things I do now are the first footsteps into the future. I’ve learned a lot about myself in these past four years, and I still have so much learning to do. This is my high school story; the good, bad, and the ugly.
I've always loved learning, especially math. Math has always come easy to me. Science also has never been challenging enough so I took Chemistry this year and I am planning to take physics next years. Chemistry is very challenging for me and I've had thoughts of dropping out of it, but I pushed myself and forced myself not to give
Like Kathy, I enjoy science classes because they're equally challenging and time consuming. I also look forward to learning new concepts and problem solving in my math classes. However, my favorite class throughout high school, has been psychology. Learning the basis of human behavior and the mind, psychology introduced me to current theories and issues in areas such as cognition, motivation, and wellness. I believe I have the qualities to someday become an exceptional nurse practitioner. High school has taught me time management, the importance of ones health, and good study habits. If I continue using these helpful skills, I will be on the track to becoming a nurse practitioner in no
During my eighth grade year, I thought I was failing math and that I was learning nothing from it. Everyone was good at one particular subject in math and I was the worst at it. Then there was one subject I happened to be particularly good at and most other people had struggled with. I failed most of the tests and I had a chance to retake them. Math was the only class I was making a “B” in. When it came time to take the math EOG, I expected failure. Instead, I made a four on the
...ademic hardships. Even though I lost so much during junior year, I was unaware of the fact that secretly I was actually gaining a great deal of life experiences and real-life lessons for the future. Quite honestly I feel lucky. I feel lucky that I matured early in life; with this new maturity I feel I can accomplish anything. I feel I can make a positive difference in this world. I feel like this experience will be the primary step in my success, in terms of my career, and in the launch of my Children in Need campaigns in third world countries. I feel like the young superman who just learned how to fly, slightly aware of his magnificent impact towards the world. In short, I feel junior year provided foundation for the more mature and adult chapters of my life, and without the numerous obstacles of junior year, I would never gained the key to a successful future.
I had a difficult time learning in school. I became a few years behind my grade level and my parents considered having me repeat a grade. My learning support teacher worked with me one on one for months and taught me how to study and work hard. I continued working hard and started getting better grades, and soon I became top of my class. I kept studying and strived to get the best possible grades throughout middle school and high school. I looked to challenge myself and took advanced placement classes. I don’t think I would have worked hard in high school, if I had not struggled earlier on, I would most likely be on a completely different life
The United States is the land of opportunity, and there are many good schools here, where are also a powerful force for students entering an amazing career. People like to live and set up plans for their life in America, and so do I. My dream is gone to school and is graduated with a mathematical professor’s degree. Although I am a full-time mom of two sons, it is never too late to do something I really want. Thus, my sons and seventy-four credit hours of college are all my treasure. I am proud of that for studying hard, evolving things, and resolving problems with any conditions to survive in school and life, and I have changed from that. Every different stage has every different circumstance for dealing with, and obstacles or conflicts in life cannot stop me reaching my goal. My exceptional hardships and opportunities have just shaped my abilities better.
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.
As I entered my older years, unlike many students my age, I continued to take an interest in topics that weren’t required by my studies. I have an extreme interest in politics and a love for knowing information. My biggest pet peeve is being ill-informed and I feel as if that is a direct combination of my elementary school classes and my parent’s extreme concern with my education. My least favorite educational experience would have to be the beginning of college. I was taking chemistry, calc 1, and English and even though I had taken all of those classes in high school, I was completely overloaded with the amount of work I had to do and the individual effort that it took me to achieve in those classes. It was one of the hardest semesters of my life simply because I had never learned how to study. In highschool, I was never taught to read through a textbook on my own, how to pick out information, or the amount of practice I actually needed for a test. This semester taught me truly how I learn best. I have to study something repeatedly and go over things a few times before a
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.
It takes unrelenting dedication to go from straight Fs to straight As in a single semester. But I did it. I showed up on time every day and went to every class, then, after a few months, at a teacher’s suggestion, I transferred into two honors classes. I didn’t take my first AP class until 11th grade, and even then, I only signed up for English, because I was worried about the workload and difficulty. I was right, it was a lot of work and it was hard but thanks to that class I bypassed freshman English.
I was able to overcome many problems and challenge myself in different aspects. At the very beginning of the year, I was very sensitive and having a bad experience meant a bad life to me. Later on, I started to realize what I am doing in school, and why I am here… I understood that life without ups and downs means you're died.
Time flies so fast. Looking back, my high school is just like a movie, a lot of things happened. High School is four years of growing up and probably a time in your life where you go through the most changes. In high school you are able to discover yourself and find out who you are as a person. Each year is special and unique in their own way. My journey through high school was a tough one, especially because I decided to not only focus on academic work but also to invest quality time in extra curriculum activities. I wanted more than just academic excellence; I wanted to be a leader, I wanted to add value to every aspect of my life, I wanted a rounded education and not just mere schooling. My success story is what I will like to share with you; how I really made it and how this defines my personality. My journey in High School was scary, exciting, and successful.
Graduation: the last day that I would unwillingly set foot on the fields of Horizon High School. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest, and tried so hard to keep my feet moving one after the other in order to maintain my perfect stature. After the two hour wait of opening speeches, class songs, and the calling off of the five hundred plus names that were in front of me, it was finally my turn. As my row stood up and we walked towards the stage it had set in at last, this is it, I am done. My high school career ended on that night, but it didn’t close the book that is my life, it only started a new chapter, and with it came a whole slue of uncertainties.
