My parents were so excited there last born was finally in high school. I was so excited I couldn’t sleep the night before. My excitement came from all my older sister going to high school and me wanting to know what was so different, and why couldn’t I be in classes with all my sisters.
I thought it would be all fun and games like the movie High School Musical. It definitely was a different change. There was so many students for there to be only 4 grade levels their. The teachers expected so much from you in such little time. My hardest subject started to get even harder. There was so many stairs. Nobody was considerate enough to apologize for bumping into you in the hallway. Everyone wanted to use your locker to stick stuff in and ended up leaving it a mess. If it was hot outside it was extremely hot and smelly in the school.If it

I personally met most of my closest friends in 9th grade and reunited with my middle school friends too. I wasn't so scared when I got there because most of the students was from my middle school. The scary part was we really didn’t have any classes together so I was with all the strange faces. I tries to get my schedule changed, but the counselor said that class I wanted to be in was already full. I got friends faster than I thought I would. Plus me and all my middle school friends had lunch together. Most of all the girls I met in school was through old friends bringing them around, in class, and the volleyball team. Nyeila, Maruea, Chantal and Jamoni are the few people I still talk to faithfully. I miss them so much they have been nothing but supportive thought out my transition from school and homes. I'm sad we don't get to walk the stage together, but the important thing is we all walk the

    Freshman year was one of the hardest years of my life. It was the first year that I wasn’t the top dog on the totem pole. I was one of those freshman that was annoying, immature, and cocky. That all changed the first day of high school. It changed for the better, because I am now a lot better off with my attitude.…

    Maquoketa, upon my initial impression when I moved here in 2012, was a small quiet town and although that is something that I now I know it is also so much more. I was in middle-school when I first came but it was in high school that I truly grew to appreciate the wonderful community. My first year of high school was certainly unnerving, although I had previously attended an elementary and middle school that were more than double its size it still held an allure of suspense over what may soon come.…

For example, the technology that was offered to us make learning easier and more enjoyable. Although, there were also many things I wish I could have changed. Such as dress code, school food, and the school length period.…

    My RMS Experience I remember my first day of middle school like it was yesterday. I was about ten years old and very nervous.

    This year is my first year in high school. It’s a lot different than I expected. When I thought about high school, I thought about bullies, constant homework, cliques, and kids getting shoved in lockers, but I haven’t seen any of that so far. In lots of movies, there are horrible queen bees and musical lunchrooms. That’s a scary prospect, so it’s a good thing those are just for entertainment purposes.…

    For me it was the other way I was excited to see what high school was all about. Just like on my first day of elementary school and middle school I had no idea where to go in the school, I was lucky to have a friend that had every class with me so that I could just follow her around. One thing that I was most excited for but very nervous was playing basketball, I had alway grew up watching high school basketball and I always wanted to do it when I got in high school. Throughout my Freshman year I played basketball and learned many things. Everything was different on the high school, I liked it so much more than I did any other grade.…

    Crazy, overwhelming, exciting, a freshman now that was how I felt walking through the doors of the school. I didn’t know what to expect from that year. A-day and B-day was something that confused me because of the different times we got out of class. The long classes were hard on me because I was used to having the 50-minute classes but I liked the longer classes after a while.…

    Freshman health and this year Earth Science are the two hardest classes I have taken throughout my four years. Both teachers are tough and made it difficult and made you know a lot of information. These teachers aren’t the only ones I didn’t like it’s just they were the hardest. High school has been like a rollercoaster for me. The ups and downs, even the sharp turns and loops.…

Some of my earliest memories I can recall are in preschool. The things I remember are just small clips of what the actual events really were.…
