Personal Narrative: My Freshman Year At Sublette High School
My Freshman Year This was my first year at Sublette High School, and I can not believe that it has already flown by like the wind blows the leaves. I remember someone saying to me when I was starting high school that it will go by so fast, and it has. I seems like school just started not that long ago, but at the same time it has taken a long time to get to summer. But I am also excited for next year and what it will bring. Next year, I am going to improve as a student and a musician. As a sophomore next year, I want to become an even better musician than I did this year. I am looking forward to singing a solo for choir, playing a solo for band, learning how to play the guitar, and playing in district honor band. I feel like freshman year …show more content…
It always seems like I am cutting it close when I get to school. I need to be at school more than just a minute or two before the bell rings. If all of those close calls would have been tardies, I would have to do something for those consequences. It would not look good on my high school record. I plan to be more on time next year than being late to classes. Hopefully, that will make me a better student if I get to class more on time.
If I was to do anything differently, I would say that I need to read more books. Some people probably think I read a lot of books already, but to me, I do not think I read enough. I love reading, and I always want to read more books. My goal is to get through my bookshelf of books in my room this summer so that when school comes around again, I can read the books from the school library instead of from my shelf. Reading books makes me a better student because it helps me get good grades. Next year, I am going to fix the things that I think need improvement. I am going to become a better musician and student. I hope to achieve those things with the goals that I have set for myself. I see these things as challenges, but they are not so hard that I can not achieve them. They are very accomplishable if I would just set my mind to them and want to do them. I believe I can beat these goals in my next high school year, and at the end, hopefully say that I

    Throughout my years of high school I have always strived for the best grades that I could attain, and they didn’t come easy. There were plenty of distractions that had driven me off course. Whether it was long hours at practice, volunteering for my community, or having a part-time job, I couldn’t let these activities hinder my grades. This purpose had sprung in me, to not only strive in my extracurricular activities, but also my schoolwork. Balancing both school and additional activities wasn’t a simple task. This led me to many sleepless nights, in which I had to tutor myself on certain topics I was struggling on. This ranged from my hardest subject, to studying extra hours on my hardest class, and even simple topics that I needed extra work…

    Lastly i'm going to have a positive attitude in everything I do and try things that seem impossible. For example, when I first learned how to ride a bike it seemed impossible at first and if I gave up at the first try, it would be, but by having persistent and keep trying I started to get the hang of it. I practiced and worked on it a bit at a time and eventually it started to get easier for me. I learn from your mistakes and the more I worked the easier it got. I'm going to apply this to this year's English class because by having a positive attitude and keep on trying, I can receive the goal I want.…

    Summer 2010 was great for me. I did a lot of stuff this summer and hung out with a lot of friends but the highlight was riding to Wasco every Saturday morning. I would meet up with Chris Impson and we would usually hang out for the whole day. I live in St. Charles so I would have a 8 mile ride down there and sometimes we would ride bikes all the way back to my house so it was quite the work out. Other days I would ride my bike to Wasco and meet up with Christopher then ride to another friends house and spend the day there. I am really satisfied with the way my summer went. I did more than just saw friends though, I went to Wisconsin, spent a week in Missouri by myself, and rode dirt bikes on our farm. While I was in Missouri I did a lot like help my Grandpa out and played a lot of baseball.…

    My junior year in high school I took two classes from teachers who gave immense amounts of work on difficult material. The classes were Honors Pre-Calculus and Advanced Biological Studies II. After a day at school and a demanding golf practice until dark, it was time to start my homework. By then I was already exhausted, but I still had hours of homework ahead of me. Most schools nights I would not be able to start my hefty pile of homework until 8 o'clock. Many nights the strenuous assignments given in Honors Pre-calculus and Advanced Biological Studies II kept me awake late into the night, even as late as 4 am. It was difficult struggling to stay awake and complete my strenuous workload after an entire day of activity. A full night of sleep…

    Starting your freshman year of college is a really, really terrifying moment. You go from being in a place where you are totally comfortable to being in a new place full of new people you have yet to get to know.
