High school is a very defining time in the life of a teenager. While most people believe that high school should be viewed as four years combined‚ the individual years of high school are very different. When looking at the years individually‚ the differences become very evident. Freshman year and senior year‚ for example‚ may be seen as similar in nature‚ when in reality‚ the two years differ greatly. Going into freshman year‚ I thought high school seemed like the coolest thing to have ever happened

forward to our senior year‚ but some people don’t think about the trials you may face during it.You may look at me and think my senior year was “easy breezy.” My senior year was the most humbling year of my life. I faced something that I never thought would happen to me or even existed. There are just things you have to go through to reach the place you need to be. Some things happen for a reason and I will defiantly embrace the things that happened to me. The beginning of my senior went good. I

5 years of High School??? If the DPS school district should institute that students should complete a 5th year of high school‚ that decision alone would cause a big frenzy. A 5th year of high school will not be beneficial to all students. Many students already display “senioritis”. A lot of high seniors are already saying‚” I cannot wait until June‚” and school has just started. Most students cannot wait for their senior year. To add another year‚ what would it be called?

The final year of high school has now come. When my parents told me that high school would fly by‚ they weren’t kidding. I never put much thought into the fact that high school is a mere four years of my life. In the grand scheme of things‚ it’s hardly any time at all. Although it really did fly by‚ I have enough memories to last a lifetime. I remember walking through the doors on my very first day of school as a freshman. I walked into room 315 and sat down in my first period class. It was world

Throughout high school‚ I’ve always heard that senior year would be the easiest‚ most fun year- the year when you could just lay back and enjoy yourself. Unfortunately‚ and though I know it is mostly by my own doing‚ I have not found it to be my easiest year at all. College‚ senior project‚ all on top of four AP classes have made senior year my most stressful yet. Though at this point I think the worst is over‚ it certainly has been one crazy autumn. Over that summer‚ I had planned on alleviating

The four years of high school were four of the most difficult years of my life to date. In those years‚ while most other students faced struggles were based in such situations as‚ fitting in with the right clicks‚ looking their best to impress their crush‚ or getting that perfect GPA for college applications‚ I considered it a great accomplishment to make it out of my bed and to school each morning. In those four years‚ I faced more loss than most people my age could imagen‚ much less see for themselves

At Last I’m a Senior “Cherish these moments because tomorrow they will be memories.” Senior year has had its ups and its downs. I have lost friends and gained friends‚ and learned things and tried to forget. I have learned that being a senior is and isn’t what it is all cracked up to be. Preparing for college‚ making good grades‚ and having a social life are three things that I have struggled to keep balanced since I have become a senior. As a freshman in high school I remember wanting to be

However‚ as of writing this essay I am living out of a hotel. I am not stranger to adversity; for Freshman year I study law overseas at the University of Edinburgh. The academic method used is entirely different from the United States‚ there was also adjusting to living in a different country.

High School Experience When you start a new school or a new grade you never know what to expect‚ all different types of emotions are running through your head sometimes that could be stress. When I started high school‚ I didn’t know what to do‚ I was the “new” kid on the block. I had to try and be outgoing and meet new people.
