Senior Year Expectations
Senior Year Expectations Going into my senior year, I have a lot of expectations. Expectations for my grades, my classes, after school activities, and of course, the benefits of being a senior.
I’m going into this year knowing it will be challenging, critical, but most all, knowing it will be the best year in high school. I hope to be a part of a great senior class, and make great personal and academic achievements. One thing I’m excited about, is my first year taking an A.P. course. A.P. Government has already been a challenge so far, only 3 days into the course. Also, English being my favorite subject, I have high expectations for the literature I will get to read. And I’m so excited about being a senior in general. Getting to have senior field day, and Project Graduation are things I’m expecting to be very fun. I can hardly wait.

Starting of my senior year right, I have A.P. Government bright and early for first period. With not even a week of it under my belt yet, I can already tell this course will work me to the bone. But signing up for this A.P. course, I’m getting more than just a college credit, and a vaster knowledge of the American Government. I’m receiving lessons in discipline. I’m no longer being treated like a child, I’m being treated like and adult. This is something that I find will give me a great advantage in life. I’m being taught Smith 2 how to be responsible at a young age, instead of having to learn the hard way later on in life. I’m also expecting to become socially aware, and be able to carry on an intelligent conversation about the American Government. Being a part of this course, I expect, will pay of in more ways than just one.

Switching subjects, English has always been my favorite. (I feel slightly deprived only having it for one semester this year.) I love reading

    “I can’t wait to be a senior” was something I would say whenever I walked into my anatomy class full of seniors who did nothing at all but every time I would Jesslyn would stop me, cock her eyebrow, make a ‘you are kidding me right?’ face and say “be careful what you wish for” and I’m now understanding what she meant. Learning responsibility, independence, and how to deal with stress is the most difficult for me coming into senior year.…

    I really enjoyed participating and learning about America’s dynamic political policies. This class was very useful and I have used the social, cultural, political, governmental and economic prism method to dissect numerous policy topics for other classes. The format encouraged class discussion and it was engaging to hear what other students thought on hot topic issues. I also believe this course taught me how to have more meaningful political conversations by learning how to refrain from personal political ideology and rhetoric.…

    Back when I was in high school I took all four years of an English literature course because it was just a required course for me take in order for me to graduate. My high teachers always tell me that I will be doing a bunch of reading and writing when I go off to college. I was always a math and science person. I came from a family background when they deal with numbers and logical reasoning. English was not my worst subject but it is not enough for me to care for the subject.…

    I began to get caught up in my extracurricular activities, and my other homework assignments that my work ethic for the course began to falter. At the end of the quarter, it was evident that the work I was producing was insufficient for the grades that I wanted. The next unit following first quarter had a focus on court cases and law, which made the course more interesting. I began to spend more time on my notes and ask more questions, receiving clarification in my problem areas. After working hard and studying immensely for the rest of the year, my grade rose every quarter and I earned a higher grade to finish the year. Ap government has always been one of my proudest…

    Throughout high school, I’ve always heard that senior year would be the easiest, most fun year- the year when you could just lay back and enjoy yourself. Unfortunately, and though I know it is mostly by my own doing, I have not found it to be my easiest year at all. College, senior project, all on top of four AP classes have made senior year my most stressful yet. Though at this point I think the worst is over, it certainly has been one crazy autumn.…

    For my Freshmen year of college I hope to be able to learn more things about myself and I hope that I will also be able to learn many more things about becoming an adult. I know that my freshman year of college will be a very big part of my life because it will be a new door that is opened for me that will be filled with new experiences and I hope that I will be able to learn something new from everyone of them. I also know that it will have its obstacles just like high school did and I will do my best to get through all of them. Also, for my overall experience in college I will keep setting goals for myself that will help me be able to succeed just like I did in high school and hopefully I will be more open about different situations and I will be able to get more involved in school earlier in the year rather than doing it the last year like I did in High School. Overall my plans for my future are pretty planned out and all I really hope is that everything goes as planned even though I know that I will be dealing with some things that won’t be…

    Senior year of high school, a lot of things going on, but what did I set as goals for me to reach? The top three of my goals for senior year are: graduate at the top of my class, get accepted into MacMurray and their nursing program, and finally get a job to pay for college. Now, here we are getting close to the end of the school year and I have managed to make them come true. Out of these, I take the most pride in graduating top of my class.

    College Expectation

    • 2334 Words
    • 10 Pages

    High school seniors have a lot of pressure on them to figure out what’s their next step after graduation, whether it’s going into the workforce, military, or college. Even though the choice to choose between the three is theirs to make, the stress of college is always put on their shoulders. An individual from Youniversitytv.org said something that struck a light bulb and it states “these days, there is a great emphasis placed on students going to college, almost to the point of expectation”. At a very young age we learn that college was the way to go but the process to get into college is so intense it made some people wanted to rethink their choice. At that moment I knew that college was going to be no joke and so did my peers but I didn’t sweat it because I knew “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). Once we were finally in college we were spoken to about the integrity policy and how serious it’s taken, and we were given all these rules from the RA, and so much more. After the first 2 weeks of college many students, including myself, felt like their brains were going to explode and it made many of them take a step back and make sure the priorities for college were on the right track mentally and physically When given this assignment we were asked to think of things that affect us or something we were scared of and college expectations was the first thing to come to my mind. College expectation is a very broad topic so my goal is to break it down even further and give the aspect of expectations when it comes to academics and its outcomes on students.…

    Today is Monday and it's the beginning of a new week. We only got 4 more months to go in our senior year! Well I don't have much to talk about but I'm very excited as to what's to come for the rest of the year. I'm trying my hardest not to fail math but it's very complicated and I didn't have a student aid before and now I do but it doesn't change the fact I'm struggling. I just want the year to be over so I can go to Puerto Rico and enjoy my summer with my family for once since I haven't had the chance with how busy everyone is. I look forward to the end of the year because a lot of people told me senior year was gonna be the easiest and it irritates me that it is probably the hardest thing I'm going through right now. Well that's all I wanted to really get off my chest so yeah. Bye.…
