When I think about my freshman year to my junior year there are things that have been the same and things that have been different. I have experienced a lot in the couple years I have been at senior, and I have lots to say about the high school life.
The one thing that I would say never changed and kept the ram fam together is Nasty Nation. Nasty Nation is what we call ourselves at games and many different activities. We have a twitter page that is called Nasty Nation. I followed it my freshman year and it told me when the games were, what the theme was and if I didn’t go to the game they would post the score as the game is going on. The games were always my favorite thing to go to in high school. I would dress up to my fullest ability and cheer on the rams.
Another thing that never changed was the level of stress I had each year. Between homework, work, school, family, friends, and a boyfriend life was not the easiest sometimes. I have been super happy, anger, and I have cried at least accouple times in the past three years from being here. I'm not going to lie I had come to the point accouple times where I wanted to just give up and drop out, but I knew that would not be a very smart thing to do. The amount of stress coming into high school was there and coming out it’s still going to be there.
The last thing that never truly changed was the people that go to Dubuque Senior High school. I am graduating with the same people that I went to middle school with and some
Surviving high school is no easy task. From the very first day of class, students are forced to find comradery in various social circles. These cliques can range from sports jocks, to math and band geeks, to school club members, and to the social outcasts who could care less about school. While there are more various types of groups, the most common are the jocks and the nerds. As far as everybody in the school in concerned, the popular athletes and the “wimpy” nerds are from two very different planets. However, while there are a lot of differences between the two as far as physical appearance goes, I had the honor of being part of both worlds, and I know for a fact that they have more in common than either would care to admit.
I am now entering my final year of high school. Most things have changed. I have a completely different group of friends than I did at the start. I no longer even go to the lunchroom, and I hate parties. But some things never change.
Being a senior made me feel let's say grown in a way. I’m almost leaving and done with high school. I've been waiting for this day to come ever since ninth grade center. Now I can't believe it's getting closer and closer to walk across the stage and get my diploma. Leaving high school and finally graduating is a big accomplishment. I’m just glad that i can show my parents that i could make it. My senior year came with a lot of struggles drama and problems. At the beginning I set some goals for myself so that i wouldn't mess up my senior year. One of my goals was that i would never skip class for no one. AnOther goal i set was to always do my work so that i can keep up with my grades. I've been doing pretty good lately even if i did have some
Sophomore and junior year basically felt like two years in one. Just like freshman year, I was the new kid on the block. My dad got sole custody of my brother and I and drove through several states just to get us. I was mad at first and I hated Tishomingo, and all I thought about was being able to move back in with my mom after sophomore year was up. But by the time second semester came around, I was able to make friends who I thought understood me, and I no longer wanted to move. Eventually the year was over and it was Junior year in the blink-of-an-eye. Junior year was my best high school year which included me joining band for the first time, dating the love of my life, and finding out who my true friends were.
The first three months of junior year were very stressful and I’ve never been under so much stress before and it became overwhelming. I missed my parents and it was hard for me to live
My Sophomore year was more different, I had idea of what I was doing. I met new people, made new friends which till this day I’m still friends
My freshman year summed up in one word would be growth. I mentally and academically grown to the person I am now. The transition of middle school to high school was exciting in many ways but extremely terrifying. It took me a couple of weeks to memorize my schedule. Getting around the school was quite frustrating too. Thinking back into freshman year, I’m shocked at how much I have changed and how different I see my surroundings. I thought that it was going to be the same drama as in middle school but it turns out everyone here just go their
To be honest not much has changed since freshman year. Seems crazy, right? Four years go by and I feel as if I am close to the same place that I was when I first walked into the high school doors. Right now I am currently stressed and scared about my future; seems similar to what I was feeling when I was a freshman. Right now want senior year to be over as soon as possible; another feeling I had as a freshman. Obviously there are a lot of things that have changed about me physically and maturity wise, but currently I feel equal to those incoming freshman just as their about to walk through the doors on their first day of high school.
Losing friends, meeting new people, first job, first car, boyfriend, getting my license. Throughout the last four years of high school I’ve experienced a lot of new things and learned a lot on the way. I remember walking into school on the first day of freshman year; I was thinking that these are going to be a very long couple of years. I was wrong; these past four years have gone by so fast, so I guess my dad was right when he said they’d fly by.
When I look back on my senior year, I have realized that I have been many places. This year has brought me hard times, new friendships and great opportunities.
As a Freshman, I was a little nervous and unsure about the four years that loomed ahead of me. I had heard people describe high school as the “best years of their life.” I now know that, in a way, they were right. Now as a high school Senior I feel that I have developed as a student, but more so as a person.
In a way High School affects everyone, but how much it affects them may be different depending on the person.
A. It was hard for me and my brothers cause we only spoke creole and a like bit of English.
Well for starters, my body is different than it was last year. My legs are longer, not to brag, but they are also stronger. I can’t really say some stuff in the essay so I’ll go with my upper body, its bigger it has hair and it’s stronger. My arms are the same as my legs, they are also strong and long. My face grows pimples and well that is all my face does, but that is just for starters. What I have noticed that changed is I have more discipline, I could thank that to my new bravery that allowed me to join football oh and my coaches. Now, instead of saying yes I say yes ma'am, and yes sir. I have also noticed that I understand more I could understand when my parents talk sarcastically. And now I notice that I was a childish kid in front of girls, and changed to be a gentleman.my academics have improved to I could read faster and longer without getting bored. I have advanced placement and I do my homework that is something that really changed when I entered high school, I don’t know how but it did. Those are the good things the bad thing are my parents and my coaches expect more from me. My parents want me to clean the house, my room, cut the lawn (front and back), and to clean the garage . To add to that my coach’s think all of my time is free and make super long practices, other than that that is what changed this high school
To some, four years seems like a long time, but for me the past four years have flown by. In these quick four years, so much has changed and yet so much is exactly the same. You still go to school with most of the same people. You walk into the same familiar building and say hello to most of the same teachers. During these four years I have lost some friends, but I have gained real ones, which is one of the most important things to me. My outlook on life has changed. I have become a more open and understanding person and I have learned many valuable life lessons. I have made many great memories and I have learned to appreciate everything I have because nothing is permanent. My journey through high school is like a plane ride. It takes off freshman year and I go on a long, and sometimes bumpy, journey to get to my final destination. Even though in many ways I am still the same person as the one that walked through those school doors as a freshman, I have also changed in order to try to become the best version of myself and get to my final destination.
