MY FRESHMEN YEAR REFLECTIVE ESSAY

My freshmen year has been like a rollercoster at an amusment park; it has it's ups and downs but is so very fun at the same time. During my first year of high school i've accomplished so much and learned so many new things academiclly, physically, and personally. Starting high scool has been an exciting experience that will never be forgotten for as long as i live.

There are so many things i've learned a lot in world history like the Jews being held in concentration camps, some things in world history was very overwhelming but it was nice to learn about the different cultures and religions, also i learned that in english there is a lot more to writing then just putting your pen to the pad like revising every litttle thing;your spellling, punctuation, and grammer. It was hard but all werth it when those grades come in.

Being in high school is very different from elementary school; there are alot of things i was fearful of such as talking in front of the class, and asking for help when i needed it. Now i can do every one of these things without a problem because i had to learn that these people i'm so focused on and worried about aren't going to get me the good grades i need to pass to the next grade.

Something i can say about high school that i'm sure everyone will agree on, alot of life lessons come from being here, a few that i have learned and will come in handy at some point during my life would be, when going to a interview it's important to have a resume. Organization is everything, don't procrastinate. Stay focused,socialize later.Time waits for no man, so do everything ASAP.

During this school year besides all the good things i've learned and accomplished, there is some bad choices i've made many i regret doing such as not staying for help sessions, getting involved into any sports at school. Advice that i would give to the eighth graders moving onto high school would be no matter what people say or think about you stay on top of your game get good grades stay out of trouble be on time to class if needed go to help sessions ask for help because after it's all said and done you don't want to be sitting in the same chair you did last year.

As a result of the regrets in my freshmen year i will set goals for myself and work on them during the summer so next year i will be prepared for just about anything that comes my way.I will reach them by making a game plan and steps i need to take to reach them. i'll know when i reached my goals because i will follow the steps i make and what ever i work on say "my grades" willl get better.

The reason for my reflection is to have one more thing to remember my freshmen year of high school, also so to tell other people how my first year of high school went, and last but not least to give the younger students who are on there way to becoming a freshmen something to look at and give them a little guidence in what they should expect and also whatwill be expected of them when entering a new world of higher expectations and responsibilities.
