Transitioning To High School

Transitioning from the middle school to the high school was definitely a hard task to do. I was constantly worried about getting lost, and not being able to find my way around. When I first arrived at the high school, I was very intimidated by the size of the high school and a number of hallways and classrooms in the building. It took me multiple days to actually get used to the building and where my classrooms are located. But, now it has been a few months since transitioning the to high school, I feel like I know the high school very well and where everything is located in the school. Being a freshman in the high school, I have not yet joined or started any activities outside of the classroom. One reason for not joining any was because I was overwhelmed with the school and the amount of work that I was going to receive. In the rest of my 3 years of high school, I am planning on joining some type of club, or
outside activity. Possibly some sort of art club, or any type of hands-on activity club. I am so far really enjoying the high school, because of the amount of freedom, and the teachers.
When I was going to high school, I suspected to have a lot of success and failures.
I have no major successes that impacted my life in a huge way, but in general, I would say a great success would be getting good grades, and test scores. When I first advanced to the high school, I was afraid of it being really challenging and I would be failing all my classes. But, It wasn't that hard, I just had to study, do the homework, and pay attention. Getting good grades was a huge success for me. I have one failure that always keeps occurring no matter how much I try. Procrastinating makes a huge impact on my life, it stresses me out, and it makes me rush my homework and projects. Procrastinating my projects usually lead to a lower grade, which usually just leads to more stress. Every time I get a new project, I try my best not to procrastinate, and to ensure I don't procrastinate again is to plan out my project efficiently and plan steps to complete my project without rushing. No matter a number of failures or successes, I will keep trying to obtain my
goal.
I have multiple goals that I would like to complete by the end of the school year or by the end of my 4 years in the high school. A simple goal of mine is to improve my social activity with other students and teachers. I want to be able to talk to people and not me shy or uncomfortable in any way. This is important to me because for as long as I can remember I have always been a shy person. And I want to talk to people without being shy or not knowing what to say. Also, a goal for this class would improve my writing skills with short constructed responses, narratives, and basically any type of writing. This is an important goal for me because I have always had trouble writing essays and getting good grades on them, I would really like to improve that skill by practicing writing, and re-reading my writing more carefully. The third goal of mine is to use correct word tenses in my wiring, Whenever I put the wrong word tense, I usually don't notice, so for me to improve on this I would re-read my essays carefully and make sure I have all the right tenses. Completing those 3 goals will really help me improve my writing, and my grades overall.
