Six Months and Counting

This fall me and 300 other students will be attending high school.  We’ll be the new kids on campus, the freshmen, the fresh meat.  I’m not too worried about it because I have an older sister that will be a senior.  She’ll be able to help me out until I get a good grasp on things.  I think I’ll be able to handle the work loads and keep my grades up.  I hope that when I get up there, I’ll meet new people and learn new things.  Although I don’t think there will be tons of new students because most of us went through middle school together and already know each other pretty well.

I want to make sure I keep my grades up, so I know I will be working a lot harder and testing my limits.  I’m taking all honors classes except for Geometry, which is Academic for me.  I have 7.5 credits on my course selection sheet, and that’s 1 credit over the recommended amount.  I guess I’ve always been a little bit of an over achiever, but I have good time-management skills.

 The thought of high school doesn’t scare me.  I’ve been through things with my sister that some students haven’t, so I’m comfortable with the thought.  I’ll be going to school with people four years older than me, but I know a lot of them through my sister.  I know there will be the not-so-great-to-hang-out-with kids, but I wouldn’t interact with them.  I wouldn’t get involved with people I shouldn’t.

 The thought of high school actually excites me a little.  I know it’s only February, and I’ve got at least six months before I even start school.  Then again, there are more classes, block scheduling, new teachers, and more classrooms.  You won’t be limited to just one team, or a certain group.  Each class has different people that you are unfamiliar with.  The only thing I’m afriad of is not being with people I know.  But I don’t have the biggest concern for that.
