To the Freshman
“There’s a freshman! Let’s stuff him in the trashcan!” There are so many new things that you learn during your first year of high school. These new things that you learn will either affect you or not affect you the slightest bit. When you don’t quite understand the new things you learn ask an upperclassman they have already been through what you are experiencing. An important thing you learn about high school is act mature. Nobody likes that immature person or persons. The more mature you are the more respect you will get from teachers, classmates, and upperclassmen. Your mature friend/s are someone you can talk to, your immature friend/s are someone that are there for a laugh. Choose which friend you will benefit from

That means your school work comes before your sports. If your grades start slipping don’t think you can get away with it because if your grades slip too much they will not allow you to play. Yes you have to be failing almost every class to not be able to play but some coaches are different and have higher standards. Don’t use I had a practice or a game for an excuse.
Now that I have you stressing about getting good grades, it is important to know what to stress about and what not to stress about. Don’t stress about upperclassmen bullying you because they won’t, but as a side note I suggest not annoying them. Another thing you shouldn’t worry about is having your friends in the same class as you. Yes it is nice to have your friends in your class, but you will make new friends.
Now the tricky thing is “do I need to stress about exams or not?” For exams it depends on what kind of student you are. If you are the student that has good grades, studies not just the night before, and pay attention during class you will do great on the exam. If you are the student that doesn’t have that good of grades, slacks off and doesn’t pay attention then good luck because you are gonna need lots of
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.
Freshman year is the year you have idolized all through your childhood. You finally become a high school student. The pressures almost all freshman deal with are: transitioning into high school, staying focused, and the influence from your friends. High school is very different transformation from middle school. Because of this difference, it 's sometimes is hard for you to adjust to the change. The social aspect of high school is larger because there are students from the other middle schools combined into one high school. Meeting new people can lead you to forget about your work. As a
As a final point, you should not stress yourself out about your grades. Stress and anxiety are common enemies in the lives of teenagers, and when you put more pressure on yourself, they begin to dominate. The more anxious you are about upcoming tests, the less likely you are to pass them. Though good grades are a goal to aim for, they are not worth your mental health deteriorating. Remember to calm down, prepare, and be confident in your work.
Tip 4: Be kind to your classmates. If you are not kind to your classmates it will ruin your high school/middle school experience. You will not have as many friends and the people you are mean to will be mean back. This would just make it hard to enjoy school.
To begin this letter, I would like to thank you for donating prayer and money to support Diamond Willow Ministries. You were very much a huge part of my recent trip there, as well as the boys camp that took place through the ministry.
Heading from middle school to high school can seem somewhat intimidating to the average teenager. No more will you be in the safety of those peers you grew up with as you head off to the larger high school that allows you to blend in with grades 9th through 12th. Many first time freshman year high school students are filled with mixed emotions on this next chapter in their life. Today I am sharing some tips on how to survive freshman year at high school so that you can help your teenager relax and breeze through the first days of being a high school freshman.
First and foremost, you did it! You survived all crammed hallways, the cliques, and all the times you thought your parents were controlling you way too much. As this new chapter opens you will soon realize that your parents were always right and you really do need to not procrastinate and should balance your school and social life. College truly is the best four years of your life, but there are a few things you must always keep in the back of your mind.

I hope this message finds you well. I'd like to begin this letter off topic and take the opportunity to thank you for your efforts in health care reform. The greatest nation this world has ever known has an embarrassing health care system. It's a personal desire to see that no one's life is put in jeopardy due to financial means. My effort in contacting you today is in regards to something I fear desperately as I watch it unfold. It's a touchy subject that I personally do not like to debate or discuss with others. The last thing I ever want is to be considered an advocate of a policy or practice that ultimately would be discriminatory to another group of citizens. But unfortunately, I cannot agree with the new idea of integrating women into
The first piece of advice that I believe will be the most helpful is to turn in your paperwork on time, or have it done early if possible. Make sure that you get it turned in on time to get the maximum number of points. And also make sure that you have a separate folder and notebook for EVERY class. I have found this to be most helpful. In high school, it can be easy to get your papers mixed up because many of teachers give you homework
First of all I would like to introduce myself, I'm Matthew Jurczykowski. And I Am currently in the 8th grade. Speaking of 8th grade this letter is one of our projects the goal is to write someone only a persuasive letter asking for someone to do something for you. So to push the letter forth, the thing I will be asking for is the ability to go on a cab ride in a Diesel locomotive on one of my next visits. I know this a large wish but I have a passion for railroading and it would be a great experience.
Although the first year of high school is a big transition, it’s crucial in determining the remaining years of high school because, First, having good grades will determine whether or not you get accepted the university you want and there are more opportunities for scholarships. Second, joining a club in high school will give you an insight in leadership and teamwork. Third, Slacking of your freshman year in high school is a bad thing to do because it will affect your senior year and all the classes you missed or failed, you will have to retake all of them. Lastly, all of these factors all come into play your senior year they can either help you or make your high school years miserable. First, having good grades in your freshman year will open up the doors to more opportunities coming your way. My freshman year wasn't the best I got D's and C's and almost failed two classes. Laziness played a big factor in why I got bad grades I was lazy to do homework and any projects. I had some advice from my cousin’s they would always tell me not to mess up freshman year, but, I ignored them and you start to pay for it senior year by retaking all those classes you failed. To get better grades I set up a planner and wrote down due dates and set up a time organizer at home and this helped me better organize my time to do the work. My advice to all new freshmen is to set up a work schedule for your work it will better your studying habits and make you aware of due dates and the time you
Be patient in everything you do and do rushing, especially on homework. Homework will either be your friend or your worst enemy, depending on how you do it. . If you miss a few assignments or don’t try so hard on some tasks your grade will drop a lot more than you think it will. Not doing your homework can lead to a grade where you depend on test to make that grade up. The time will come to the test and you really haven't studied or done the material because you have skipped the homework and you could do bad on the test dropping your grade more. Though if you do your homework your grade is boosted. Then if you don't do so well on the test your still doing well thanks to homework. Homework takes little time but maximum effort is needed and to do so take your time and do not
I am feeling nervous for my 8th grade year! This is mainly because this year will be the last before high school. First of all, how well you do will really affect what you will be able to do in high school and, I have been told that they will really look at your grades from your 8th grade year so that puts a lot of stress on you to do your best this year. Also, I am going to have to greatly improve in playing my trumpet because next year I will have to tryout for the legacy band which I really want to get into because it will be a amazing experience and I have seen the legacy band in action and really want to be a part of it. Lastly, I want to get into AP and CP classes which is going to depend on how well i do this
All my years of highschool I have always had more friends older than me than in my actual grade. And that’s okay. You’re going to come across the few upperclassmen that will treat you like a kindergartener (mostly only if you act that way). But the rest of us will actually treat you like a normal human being. Most the time.
