First Impression High school is always a kid's dream, wanting to be top knotch. I always dreamt of walking into school, turning the corner to my locker, and seeing Troy Bolten standing there with a basketball in his hand, ready to sing his duet with me. I did not think it mattered what grade I was in because everyone was friendly, and better yet evrybody loved to sing. So basically, my first impression of high school happend to be made up from some phony movie I watched when I was ten. The first day was not like I had planned. First things first, upperclassmen do not like freshmen. Nobody actually sings in between classes or during a basketball game. There is no such thing as a Troy Bolten. He was no where in sight the whole first day. My new impression of high school was nothing like before; looking at the school was like looking at a jail. "The" impression started to change once the second day had started, there was someone waiting for me at my locker. It was not Troy but someone making high school a little better for me, Drew DeVine, a smart, good looking kid, who also plays basketball. There is one downfall of high school and it is homework, which is typical considering it is high school. My first impression of high school is nothing like the actual impression of being there. One thing from the movie I learned was at lunch there would be different cliques, which happend to be true. There's the varsity football team at a table, the couples, and groups of friends that have been together since pre-school. There are great teachers unlike Ms. Darvis in the movie where all of my information came from. Also contrary to High School Musical, sports are not everything when it comes to school. Grades actually matter, which is a huge difference in my impressions. My first impression had changed tremendously walking through the

    The film also portrays the stereotypes that were used against the group of Asian American friends. At a party, a couple of white varsity sports players made racist jokes against them, but that caused Daric, one of the main characters, to fight them and the Asian American group ended up beating one of the white varsity players. After that, people at the high school started treating them with more respect. Another interesting aspect about the movie was that there were no parents. I felt that this brought all of the attention towards the struggles that the high school students felt, without being repressed by the perspective of the parents. I enjoyed this film very much. I thought it was very funny and was also very accurate on portraying the stereotypes that Asian American high schoolers had to go through.…

    I see high school as deeper work, more responsibility, and more homework. The teachers are a lot harder on you. In high school, you get more freedom than in middle school because you’re older. There is harder work because the standards are higher. There is more responsibility because the teachers think you can do it and you have to keep up with more books and stuff.…

    Starting high school was a terrifying idea to me. Different teachers, class times, lockers, drama! I remember that I always looked up to my older sister while she was in high school. She had tons of friends, played sports, participated in student government, and went out for the school play. I wanted to be just like her when I started high school. In middle school, I lined myself up for this, I played soccer in the fall and basketball in the winter. I helped out in the school plays, and I joined the student government. I had a group of great friends, and thought nothing bad was going to happen.…

    High school is a different experience for everyone. The first three years really blend together and do not seem important, but senior year is completely different. Freshman year was full of confusion, learning an array of new things. Sophomore year was where life started to get fun and you “belonged” in the high school. Junior year was where you see the little light at the end of the tunnel, but it was filled with anxiety and frustration. Senior year is where it all becomes worth it and the rest of your life is finally going to begin.…

    Almost nothing fitted what I imagined about the High School. Because it was a lot better than what I supposed. I thought I would be lonely, no one would talk to me, but actually at the end of the first of school, I already had known someone who I could consider as friend. Things were indeed not easy though. I held the map of the school building, and finally found my way to classroom after asking three people for direction. Teachers were nothing like the strict teacher in China, they were patient and funny. They were willing to be students' friends. I used to say, "Sorry, my English is very bad." at the…
