What I Ve Learned In High School
What I’ve learned in high school is that you have to try your hardest and to turn in all your work and if you miss school it could be difficult to catch back up with. I learned that if you slack even the slightest it will bring you down dramatically although it may get rough or hard you should always put your all into the work you do because if you do not show some effort theirs a high chance the teacher won’t think you are trying. I learned that in high school things become much more difficult as you move forward more homework more assignments in class more reading more learning more difficult task you have to deal with and the sucky part about it all is if you don’t understand something people look at you like your stupid it’s almost as if

    Senior high was a big struggle for me. Being inundated with new information at a rate that I have yet to acclimatise to, I was falling behind, lost in this rat race. I recalled feeling depressed often and my stress level was constantly high as I barely managed to scrape through the tutorials with minimal understanding. As more and more lectures and tutorials flew past, my doubts only snowballed. It came to a point whereby I was so overwhelmed by everything, I just broke down.…

    It 's the rock bottom of a student 's educational career: The day a student drops out of high school. From there, the world may seem to go down in a spiral. Today, 16% of dropouts are unemployed and 32% live below the poverty line. Dropouts with jobs earn an average of only $12.75 per hour (Messacar 55). Students who do graduate from high school have an unemployment rate of only 7.6% (Bureau of Labor Statistics). While the graduation rate may be improving, there are still some out there who find it hard to adjust to the high school atmosphere after leaving their cozy little middle school. Sometimes, middle school poorly prepares their students for life in high school. Some students grow very stressed during their freshman year in high school which leads to a lower GPA. Freshman year is seen as the "make or break" year because the freshmen who fail their first year of high school will most likely drop out of high school altogether. To help these students, we can use solutions such as freshman academies, an interdisciplinary curriculum, and communication, which are a few yet effective solutions to ease a student 's transition to high school.…

    High school is an important step in the life of a teenager, it determines the places you will go prior to your education. High school to me is what I have been both looking forward to and not looking forward to my whole life. Everything about excites me yet it overwhelms me simultaneously making my thoughts about high school mixed. The idea of going to high school is very exciting because of all the amazing things I could experience but also scary because I don’t know what the world has in store for me there.

    High school should be the time of your life. You should take the classes that you want and spend as much time with your friends. However, there are some high schools that don't provide as many opportunities as other schools contain. Some do not have the kind of money to even take care of the students and some don't even have enough books to educate them. I have had the privilege to learn in an environment that contains enough books and supplies for all of the students attending the schools. There were many classes that were open to me and one specific one that touched me the most was Spanish.…

    But, in high school you are pushed in the right direction, given second chances (many many second chances). It is free and you do not lose money if you fail a class. You can always start over next year. High school, as far as your future goes, is meaningless, to a certain point. For college, none of the above is true. I'm adding this in here because I forgot to mention it: college is REALLY expensive and if you fail your class or even get a D, which does not count in college, you just lost all your money. No refunds, nothing. So if you go to a university or state school, you might be out 600-1000 dollars. Your professors honestly couldn’t care less if you do well. There are a few professors who will give you ONE second chance, depending on the circumstances. But if you fail a test, miss homework, don’t come to class, they don’t care. You will not get a call home, and you will not be able to get the assignment unless they have a website or you know someone in that class. Also, and this is the most important aspect of college to be successful, you CAN NOT fall behind. In college, if you fall behind in reading or whatever, it almost always will affect your grade because of the amount of studying and homework. Some of the big changes and differences are teachers/professor’s, grade, attendants, responsibility, classes, textbooks, locations, and studying. Let’s go!…

    After saying that you need to work super hard, many people draw the wrong conclusion that in order to succeed in school, you have to work every single second and there is no time to enjoy life. That is not the point of what I’m trying to say. I mean, yes. You do have to work hard. However, you still need to relax. Stressing out your brain too much over school is unhealthy. I know for a fact that it was scientifically proven that having too much stress can cause a person to become sick physically and/or mentally. Obviously, if you started to become sick frequently, you would miss school as a result and it will be hard for you to catch up in your classes! (Trust me, I have learned this the hard way as well.) So it’s also very important that you just relax at times and have fun. (Note: THIS DOES NOT MEAN PRIORITIZING FUN OVER YOUR…

    When I was in middle school I would always do my homework every day and keep my average high, but know i'm going down on my average as soon as I went into high school. When I started high school I made myself a promise. I told myself the same thing I told myself in middle school “I will do my best and do my homework all week”, but that didn't happen. It was already the last week of the first 9 weeks, and I was already failing my english and reading class. I was failing english because I didn't do the SAQ’s ( Short Answer Question) during class or for homework. I was failing my reading class because I didn't do my homework…

    Things that I have learned so far about high school is that the more you will realize who your friends are they will really start showing you their “true colors”. Furthermore balancing the workload is a very hard task because you have extra curriculum and other responsibilities dealing with your household. Being in high school you aren't going to get pampered or a teacher constantly coming to you, tell you that you have work due , missing assignments , being in class on time and keeping up with your grades . Also , I have learned that you shouldn't wait unit the last minute to turn work in or ask for extra credit , most certainty you shouldn't wait until the day before the due date to turn in your assignments . By having other classes that will be due…

    High school has been an unyielding path. These four years of my high school career have had some positive and even some negative conflicts. Initially, I was very naive and I did not put much effort into school. My grades had dropped at a point where I was having some difficulty to bring them back up, mainly because I was never too strong in subjects such as math or English. But that was an issue that I had to face by worrying less and concentrating more. However, throughout these four years of high school I have improved my ability to learn and also have identified the creative and thoughtful side of me and with these skills I have given back to my community by making it cleaner and more efficient for the next generation. Thankfully, with…

    The main reason why turning in your assignments on time is important is because that you’re perfect ‘A’ grade could just drop down to a horrible ‘C’ or worse. Come on, you’re in high school now, your final grade point average is what could make you get into a great college, but also get you rejected. If you don’t start taking on your responsibilities seriously from the first year of high school, everything will be left to finish in your last two years of high school. Trust me, leaving it the last two years is the worst thing you could ever possibly do. You’ll have no time for friends, games, vacations, not even for your family. What makes it even worse is that you’ll get into a poor college, even though you practically wasted your whole high school life for it.…
