For a while I did think that there was big parties every day and all night, but that was when I was back in 6th grade and didn't know anything. Even though our high school isn't famous for throwing crazy parties every weekend, we (well some of us) all still have cotillion to look forward to and do all of that stuff. All and all I am satisfied with my current high school experience and cannot complain about my grades, (which I also thought were not going to be this good) so needless to say I can't wait to get deep into the second quarter.

Free Post
For my free post Ive decided to reflect back on what my thoughts and expectations were about High School and then compare and contrast them to how I feel today. Well after 8th grade I didn't really care about anything, better yet school, so it wasn't until the final weeks of summer that I began to start questioning. I thought high school would be a lot more dull and dead than middle school was. Either way I was going to try to have fun no matter what, but I was completely wrong. High school is really boring at times, but being able to hang out with all of my friends who are upper class men is really cool since they give me advice on all of the teachers. I also thought in the beginning that the teachers would be like they are in college, as in you'd be lucky if one of them knew your name. Yet again I was completely wrong, all of the teachers know my name and actually acknowledge me and care for me, which is a great thing to have.

I thought the same thing when I transitioned from middle to high school. My only comment about your writing was that you said second quarter instead of second semester.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second high school expectation post that I read and I noticed that everyone's expectations are as different as our DNA. I expected more parties but that's not my main focus.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex, I didn't really think too much about high school until a week before. Since I was a new student I wasn't even thinking about the classes I was worried about making friends and such.
ReplyDeleteI also thought the same thing when transferring from middle school to high school. I thought everybody was going to be mean and cool, but it turns out that I like all of the upperclassman. I was also pretty intimidated by all of them because I didn't want to look dumb in front of them.
