Personal Narrative: 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

Being a freshman is the hardest of your four years in high school. Have you ever been pressured to be the best person you can be? This is how my year was as a freshman. Freshman year was the most different I never thought I would of found my way around the school when I first started to go there. Freshman year was the best year throughout my years of high school and it was the only year I had friends. During this year I had a lot of anxieties which dealt with me thinking I’m gonna be alone and not have any friends throughout the year to support me through the whole thing. Also, I would think of the pressure of not doing good in any of my classes so I would think it would affect my GPA in the future. The transition from middle school to high school was a different type of thing to do.

It was the last last few days of summer before I started my Sophomore year of high school. My freshman year I applied and ran to be Sophomore class president, and I won. Before the start of school SGA (Student Government Association) had the responsibility to welcome and show new students around the school. While showing and bonding with new students I meet two new sophomores students named Ethan and Olivia. Ethan was a very attractive young man who was six feet and had nice dark hair, that was swooped to the right. Olivia on the other hand was a very short and pale girl who had orange hair that was very thin. Olivia and I both found Ethan to be attractive, Olivia made it known to me that she liked Ethan. It was the first day of school and

Junior year. My junior year I realized things about myself that I hadn’t previously known. Things I’ve never done before and things people thought I couldn’t do. Situations I thought I wouldn’t be in and there I was. Junior year, I did it.

During my Sophomore year I interned with the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. As an intern I trained and recruited volunteers, registered people of all parties to vote, canvassed and phone-banked for the 2016 Presidential election, ensured that voters had transportation to their polling place, and watched the polling locations to ensure the safety of all voters.

Sadness, desperation, and the thought of failure plagued my brain as I went into my second day of Sophomore year in high school. I had grown to dislike school a lot as it felt like all the fun I used to have was slowing diminishing into nothing. As I walked to my next class, I looked down to make sure I had the right room number. I did, it was time for English which I was not looking forward to. But, to my surprise, this English class would change everything

Sophomore year was absolutely nothing what I expected it to be; It was the complete opposite of freshman year. Freshman year I was shy and quiet. Also, in Freshman year, I was on a competition dance team and that was all I knew because I spent every day at the dance studio, and because of that, I was not very involved at school and I had no time for anything. However, I decided to quit my dance studio so I could have more of a life in High School. With my newly discovered free time, I decided to join the Speech team, the musical, and the play at Marian. I also decided to get a waitressing job at Le Peep. Thanks to these new activities, I became more confident than ever. I also found a new love of mine, theatre. Not only did I find the a new

I participated in Football my freshman year of high school , I also ran track my Sophomore year of high school. I have been in AVID two years out of the four I’ve been in high school. I also have interest in weightlifting and finances. I worked at KFC and Bojangles as head cooks. I would say overall all the clubs and organizations I’ve participated in taught me the importance of organization and teamwork also the importance of high communication

There is something else I would like you to know about me. The University of Florida has always been my school of choice. My father is an alumnus, and my sister is now a Sophomore. I want nothing more than to join them as Gators.

My junior was by far the hardest. During that time was when my mother moved to Nashville, Tennessee and I was left in Colorado by myself. Without a family or an adult to provide me for my basic needs, I had many obstacles to overcome. Due to all these ordeals, my grades dropped significantly. I often had to wonder where I was going to sleep or what I was going to eat. It was very hard for me to concentrate in my studies and therefore I got a D in Honors Chemistry and Algebra II my first semester of Junior year. I was very aware that junior year was a crucial when it comes to college so I tried my best to increase my academic performance despite my personal problems. With hard work and dedication I was able to obtain a C in Algebra II second

My time in High School was made difficult from the constant strife and conflict between my parents. This made my home an unstable environment not fitted for learning or growing as an individual. As I got older and closer to graduating High-School, I began to find my own voice with the help of my mentor Rahn Fleming, which occurred at the end of my junior year. As a result, I came in control of my life and the constant feuding started to die down. No longer did I have to worry about the next scheduled court date, or the next time I would come home wondering what may await. I felt like I was always walking on broken glass for the longest of time throughout my life, until I began to voice myself and what I wanted. My parents came to realize this

It was back in second grade, that possibly changed my life. Not allowing me possibly going to the high school I want too. The choices you make in the past, affect your life in the future. Evidence, is the story of myself. How I decided to do the same actions of another kid, that wasn’t the smartest of all.

Even though summer has come to an end, I am excited to start sophomore year of high school and to start another journey. This was one of my most adventurous summers yet, and I can’t wait for more to come. I had many achievements and visits during the summer with my friends and family. So many members of my family and friends have pushed me to become the person I am today throughout the summer and school. Every day they inspire me to become a better person and to try new things. Outside of school, I play soccer, draw, and referee soccer games. Continuing with soccer, I have many goals for high school and college that I want to achieve. With all the new classes this year, I am excited to see what happens.

I made the transformation the summer before my junior year of high school when I started my first job as a bagger at Giant Foods. The change wasn't noticeable at first, but overtime I was gaining many skills. I worked usually five times a week every week. It felt strenuous at the time, but it put the summer to a better use. I was much more productive that summer than any of the previous ones. When the school year started I was still working. I thought that this you negatively affect my grades because I would have less time to do school work because of all of the work I would be doing, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I better in school than I did ever, even with more challenging classes with less time after school to do my assignments.

When I began High School as a freshmen, I was going to a new school district with very few familiar faces. Making friends and fitting in with a completely new group of people added an abundance of stress to my first year of high school. I was also switching over to a much more rigorous curriculum than I was used to and felt slightly lost because I didn’t have the same educational background as the other students. To top it off, I joined the girls volleyball team which was more intense and demanding than my previous middle school team. Having so many things going on at once made it difficult to focus on school work, and unfortunately school took a backseat to extra curricular activities. As I became more comfortable with my new school things
