Recommended: Moving to a new school experience

As young girl with big dreams I imagined my senior year of high school to be one of the best years of my life. I imagined going to homecoming with all of my friends, being the captain of the varsity soccer and cheerleading teams, going to Friday night football games, going to Prom with my perfect date, and going on a senior trip with all of my best friends. I never imagined my senior year to be the way that it is. I am the new kid. Everything I dreamed about for my senior year was taken from me the day that I moved. When I left my old school I not only said goodbye to my friends, but I also said goodbye to an easy senior year. At my new school I am just another body. No one knows who I am. I talk to everyone I meet, trying to make conversation, but yet I still eat alone in the cafeteria every day, listening to everyone laugh while I try to hold back my tears. …show more content…

I have been to so many different schools that I cannot even count them all using all 10 fingers. You would think that by now I would be used to being the new kid, but with every move it just gets harder and harder. I have learned that it is harder to be the new kid when you are older versus when you are younger. As a kid it is cool to be the new kid and everyone wants to be your friend. In high school it is the complete opposite. Unless you approach them, most high school students won’t even bother talking to you. Every time that I think I have finally made a friend, I am almost immediately shot down. I am beginning to feel like I don’t belong

    In the American culture, the population prides itself on the freedom our country supplies. Recent years, media has become the infrastructure of how we communicate, notify the public, and advertise. It created a whole new world that we’ve come love, but has this love turned into an addiction? After watching the Consuming Kids video, I have to agree with some points that were made. Yes, kids are becoming addicted to consuming what they see through media. Yes, some of media is flooded with R-rated subjects that are inappropriate for kids.

  • Being A New Kid Essay

    1108 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being A new kid is one of the most difficult things a kid will have to do in his or her childhood. I know this from personal experience of being a new kid. In high school I moved to three different schools in four years. It was extremely tough and at times I will feel so lonely, because high school students are harsh when it comes to a new kid coming into their school. They tend to be judgmental and have no desire to even speak to the new kid even if he or she is sitting all alone at the cafeteria table eating day old pizza with terrible tasting corn and a spoiled chocolate milk carton that has a missing girl on the side. No one wants to go out of their way to even speak to them. It is really heartbreaking when no one will make friendship with them. It feels almost if something is wrong with you, but nothing is. High school students are shy to a certain extent and will not go out of their group to make someone else feel accepted

    ...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 know what it’s like to feel rejected by peers. When I was a child I was very shy and not much of a sociable person. Many people would bully me and too this day I’m still a little terrified by people. I have a hard time trusting others and coming out of my shell. However, when I do I make some amazing friends. What helped me get over some of the torment I faced from elementary through high school were my parents and my religion. My mom always reminded me that I had individual worth and that anyone who didn’t see that was missing out. Constant years of this reminder allowed me to accept my past and move on. By moving on I was able to start making friends this year.

We were unaware that the carefree world we lived in was about to come crashing to the ground in a blazing inferno of real school work and responsibility ... otherwise known as high school.
