Dear Freshman Wildcat,
Welcome to Cypress Woods, home of the Wildcats. Here we have a tradition of winning and if you don’t have a winning instinct then we will teach you to make it a habit. I would personally like to congratulate you for going on to the next grade and making a major step in your life, becoming a high school freshman. This year will be the easiest year in your high school career. And I highly advise you to take advantage of every opportunity of becoming successful as possible.
My freshman year I regret not using the opportunities given to me to be more successful, and trying as hard as I possibly could. I did play basketball which forced me to stay on top of my grades and to make a positive effort to being a role model of the school. My freshman year I was mostly antisocial but I did have many “associates” of the school and brothers from basketball. I remember being so much more mature than other freshman and at that most of the sophomores, juniors, and some seniors. Although I wasn’t at the top of my game for school, I did attend tutorials and get help from my teachers to help my grade be as high as I possibly could get it.
My advice to you is to not goof off and horse around in class, because if you do you will most likely regret it later on and realize that if you would have paid more attention during class and turned in all your work on time high school would be easier. I can tell you that from experience because now it’s really difficult for me to work from all the procrastinating that I have built up and has become a habit. I have now formed a habit of doing my work and setting reminders for myself to do my homework that I have at home and read ahead to be ahead of class so I can keep up and be more recommendable for my college letter of recommendation.
I love Cypress Woods because of the help I have received for my many teachers and the advice I have received from my many teachers that have gone through the same

    While switching to classes, there will be tons of kids just standing in the courtyard playing and joking around. Other kids will be walking to class and the children that are in the courtyard will pull them aside to keep them from going to class. Peer pressure is hard to turn from, but it is not impossible to walk away from. I make sure I get to class promptly because I care about my grades and how I present myself. It looks good when you are the first person in class with your materials ready and eager to learn. There are people in this world that are going to knock your concentration, but it is your job to remain focus on what is most…

    When I began my senior year of high school, I was tired and unmotivated and chose to give up and not put my full effort into all my school work. I was so excited, my last year of high school. I was always told since I was a freshman that your junior year would be the hardest and the most important because those are the grades that colleges will mostly be looking at and that your senior year would be the easiest because you're mostly taking electives and you only need to focus on you main courses such as economics and english to graduate. When I started school this year I put off all my homework till last minute, I was absent more than usual, my work was sloppy, and I wasn't really participating. I kept thinking that all I need is a 65 in…

    Further, regret often comes when looking back on opportunities not seized. There are many things I wish I would have done, or tried, or stuck with throughout life. As a child, I was involved in dance and piano. Upon reflection, if I could do it again, I would have stuck with these things even though a fifth grade version of me saw it as overwhelming and impossible. With years of weekly lessons, these traits would no longer be difficult.…

    The student getting to class on time ties in greatly with taking control of your life. You may feel now that you have all of this freedom, “Oh I don’t need to go to class today”. The late nights and the added amount of class work you have will make you tired and you won’t want to get up in the morning. Don’t fall into this hole. Skipping class will affect your GPA with no remorse. More class you miss the more work you miss. Also if you skip class that just adds to the amount of studying you need to do to keep up.…

    It opened up another door for me because I got a extra year to figure out what I wanted to do after I graduated high school. I look at it now that maybe if I would’ve moved on with my original class I probably wouldn’t have done anything with my life or I wouldn’t have been prepared for the real world. Do I regret everything I did back then? Yes I do. It did help me mature and notice what is important in life.…

    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…

    An experience that makes me proud during my first year of school was failing. It was a wake-up call, a realization that I could overcome a difficult obstacle due to the mistakes I had made. Therefore, I dedicated all my time to make-up all the classes I received low grades in. I pushed myself to persevere and not become a high school drop-out; I refused to be labeled a failure. I worked twice as hard in the classes I had received low grades; so when I was taking them again I would pass with a better grade I would be satisfied with. I managed my time efficiently to give myself enough time for each class and receive help when I asked certain teachers who offered tutoring. I took advantage of all extra credit assignments when offered, I believed…

    It has been almost a year since I joined Alpha Beta Gamma. The thought of belonging to an honor society excites me, from the day I received an invitation letter to this present day. I initially saw it as an opportunity to boost my resume, but now I see it in a whole different perspective. Honor societies are organizations intended to benefit and group like-minded individuals together based on academic excellence. However, Alpha Beta Gamma is more than just your average honor society. It is a place where intelligent minds come together to share ideas and provide services to the community. This means volunteering to assist certain organizations and businesses who request our help. Not only do we aid businesses, we also assist individuals by teaching…

    One has to approach school as an added duty in one’s life. I must add an extra responsibility to my daily chores and activities. I am venturing into an activity I have not done any schooling for over 30 plus years now. School is something I must learn all over again. This changes our everyday routines to a point that we all must learn to work well with this new education. I am glad that in the past I had learned great tools to work with while working on these new responsibilities. Making it great while I was getting my A.S. degree in Florida Tech College out of Orlando, FL. Back then everything was paper and pencil or pen. Now I see an all new era of schooling and especially online. I force myself to get things done early, just like I do when I need to be somewhere for an appointment. I arrive much earlier than requested so I have time to sit and plan what will be going on at this appointment. I turn that into the same here with my online class. I don't like to be late for anything even dinner at home. Work on my college activities and required assignments take on the same aspect that I apply to my personal life. Both must be taken on with kid gloves. But as long as I keep in mind the goals created for school and stick to them I should have no trouble working out any obstacles that come my…

    As I got older and got into high school, things got really ugly my freshman year. Hanging out with the wrong crowd changed my whole perspective on school and how I should apply my knowledge to school work. I can honestly say that my highest grade was probably a C out of the whole year. The beginning of my life changing didn’t take place till my sophomore year when I met my older cousin who decided to be hard on me in school. Part of that was him keeping me into football and other sports he thought I would be good in. It wasn’t till junior year in high school where I really took football…
