Six Months and Counting

February 4, 2008 at 1:55 pm | In Personal |

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.

  1. It must be great to have a big sis looking out for you. She can be quite a thug so I know you will be well protected ; )

  3. I also have an older sister but next year she will be in 11th grade and my brother is in 12th grade this year and he has some friends in 11th grade this year that I know so I can connect to the older sister thing.

  4. WOW! You are so lucky that you don’t get that worried. I don’t usually get worried either, but the whole concept of not even knowing which school I’m going to or what classes I’ll take is killing me. All my brother’s friends are also friends with me so I will have a ton of 11th grade friends. I don’t know what I’ll do if I go to Choate. I will be so scared, but I know I’ll do fine. I love your link!

  5. I really like that picture you picked out, firstly.
    Like you, I also have a sister that went to the high school, but she is graduating this year. I am also a little worried about not being with my friends, too. It looks like you have a great out look on your future high school experience. Great Post.

  6. I agree, though I will not be going to the same high school as most people in our school I know how it feels. It’s good that you have your sister there to help you, since I don’t have an older sibling, you are very fortunate. I really don’t understand that you are in Academic Geometery. You are the smartest person in the class and grasp concepts like that really quickly. I wish you all the best in high school and don’t worry, sometimes the people who aren’t your friends at first might become one of your closest and trustworthy friends. Again, I wish all the best and I hope you have a great time in high school and I know that you will after your 4 years at the high school will become a great, friendly, kind, and smart person.
