Personal Narrative: My Underclassman Year Of High School

From the beginning of high school to now, I have changed a lot. My values and maturity has changed the most. In ninth grade I was worried about all the wrong things. However, now I am more focused on school, and issues that actually matter. Friendships have also majorly changed since freshman year. I have come to understand that people change, but everything will work out for the best in the end. These are just a few concepts that going through my underclassmen years of high school has taught me.

My closest friends now are Dillon, Brinslee, and Rilie. Dillon is my boyfriend, and I could count on him for anything. He is the person that I’m always with, and knows most about me. Brinslee has been my best friend since I met her in eighth
grade. We’ve been almost inseparable throughout high school. She is the craziest person I know, and I’ve shared my best high school memories with her. Rilie has also been a good friend since middle school.

My favorite activity is cheerleading.
I am the captain for CHS cheer, and I also cheer competitively in Suwannee. One of my other favorite activities is watching soccer with my boyfriend. My least favorite thing is boredom. For the most part, I like to stay busy and have things to do.

I think that I will change a lot in this upcoming year. I already have a better mindset about things than I did before, and I feel as if that will only grow throughout the rest of the year. I slacked off towards the end of school last year, and that is something I regret most. School is really important to me, and I think my work ethic will be a factor that changes most this year. I'm getting into good study habits, and trying to stay away from procrastination. So, hopefully more positive changes will keep coming my way, because I want to make my last year my best.

I have many goals I want to accomplish this year. College is my main focus. I want to do everything I can to lead myself in the right direction. I hope this year will give me a better idea of what I want to study when I’m out of high school. I want to finish my general education with FGC, and then hopefully move to a bigger university (preferably UF or FSU). I would also love to cheer in college, so I will most likely be attending more college cheer clinics this
year.

I have a very bright future ahead of me so I plan to make the best of this year. Aside from doing well in school, I want to encourage myself to have fun and try new things. I want to flourish in good memories of my senior year. Take lots of pictures and focus on the things that will still matter years from now.
