My Experience with Being Away from Home in Italy There I was‚ holding onto my suitcase‚ standing in the airport about to board my plane. I was fifteen years old‚ going into my sophomore year of high school‚ and I was going to Italy for ten days with my best friend and a tour group from his school. For months‚ we had been counting down the days until we leave. The day was finally here and everyone around was full of excitement. Everyone else had been on planes multiple times in their lives. As

I never truly felt that I was a part of anything until I got involved with golf. My coach and my teammates welcomed me with open arms. My self-esteem boosted and I bloomed like a springtime flower. I was not a part of my team at school until my sophomore year. I truly regret not playing golf my freshman year because playing was my favorite part of high school. I was very involved on my team. My junior and senior years seasons I was named captain. I embraced the role with honor and fulfilled it to

like I was being too bossy to my teammates. My freshman year I never really got how important it was to step up and be a communicator on the team all I knew was that I felt I was screaming nonsense at my teammates. Then‚ late in the season of my sophomore year the varsity goalie suffered from a concussion and there really was no backup goalie so I had to step up.

When I transferred school districts my sophomore year‚ I was sorted into my new school’s choir levels: beginner-level chorale‚ mid-level chorus‚ and the prestigious concert choir by my new instructor.

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.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines resilience as "an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change". Personally‚ this term has defined my entire life over the past four years. My first taste of high school was in the spring of my 8th grade year. My band director hosted a marching band clinic for rising freshman.

humans have the ability to be competent at something‚ whether it’s tying a knot‚ or solving a calculus equation. I regard competence as being one of the most essential traits in life.

One of the times that I experienced incompetence was when I began to run in my freshmen year of High School. Having played other

others‚ isn’t always who we really are. I used to pretend I didn’t have any worries but it became tiring to keep things to myself all the time when I didn’t have to. I’ve gotten the pleasure to meet many student government members who have turned my life around and shocked me. It taught me to never hesitate to go out of the way to do things for people because they will appreciate it even if their pride won’t let them show it. Sometimes saying a small‚ yet nice compliment or giving someone a part of

Not everyone is your friend. Let me tell you a little story. When i was an 8th grader I used to have so many friends that I thought I would be friends with for the rest of my life. As the years went on‚ I found my circle of friends started dwindling down more and more. I now have 2 TRUE friends that I know I can go to for anything. I’ve realized throughout the years that not everyone is going to be like that and that’s okay
