On a gloomy February day in 2013‚ I was set to meet my high school counselor for the first time. My mom and I arrived at Niles West and found ourselves waiting in the guidance counselor’s office to decide my classes for freshman year. “Jason?” My head tilted up. “I can meet with you now” my counselor said with an inviting smile. Going into the meeting‚ I was dead set on taking a debate class in order to be on the debate team. My dream in eighth grade was to be a lawyer‚ and I thought being in

I know there’s a big difference between high school and middle school. There are more students and teachers in high school. There are also more classes and the classes are longer. A lot of people say that high school is harder than middle school‚ which it is not‚ neither of them are hard‚ it’s only hard if you make it hard.

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

middle school to high school was a change that I was not ready for. I had always been a good student‚ but high school brought challenges that I had to learn to conquer throughout my high school life. A move to a neighboring city forced me to attend a different high school than all of my middle school friends‚ and I was forced to leave all of the friends I had made over the past 8 years.

Although students tend to fear high school and think it is a nightmare to
