Things I've Learned From My First Year Of High School
I just finished my first year of high school, and it has been different from middle school. High school has brought me so many different experiences. Some I am grateful for, yet some have not been beneficial. However, all of them have taught me so many different things, and I would not have been able to my first year of high school without them. The things I have learned have been so helpful to me and can also to things outside of school.
⒈ You're expected to demonstrate maturity and responsibility
High school teachers won't "hold your hand" as much as middle school teachers did. Your teachers may move faster through lessons. When you have questions or meet with challenges, it's important to speak up. If speaking up makes you nervous at first, you can start by using email to build your level and confidence.
High school teachers enforce higher standards, and most don't tolerate some of the behaviors that were acceptable in middle school. Again, the goal is to prepare you for college and real life. Even if the seems tough at first, remember that you're learning helpful and important life skills.
⒉Find out who your true friends are
Genuine friends are friends that you can tell everything to and they will not tell anyone else without your permission. They are also there whenever you need them, whether that is to rant or you just need a shoulder to cry on. When you find your true friends, stick with them. The thing about friends is: quality over .
To be honest, high school is not easy at first, but with time, you will get to appreciate and everything around your experiences. The memory will never , because it is the most memorable journey. I have learned so much during my first year of high school, and I am sure that I am going to learn a lot more.
