Freshman Year Reflection

At the end of middle school, I was happy to graduate and not to have no more drama and move on in life. From middle too now, I see a big change, I Now handle situations more maturely and learned not to let little things affect me mentally and physically.

     In the summer, I really didn’t used to anything, but go to my friend house every single day and enjoy the outside. The closer it got to high school beginning, the more I began to think about how it would be.

     My expectations of coming to Parkway I didn’t think I would have any friends. Also, I thought it would be a real quiet school and I would get easy grades. From the beginning of the school year, to now the end, my view changed.

     Coming to high school, I learned to leave drama in the past and worry about my future. I met many new cool people that I never knew I would meet. During this first year, I have lost a couple friends. I’ve noticed who would be there when I’m down, and who’s a real friend and a fake friend. Also since high school, I have gained a lot of freedom from my parents because they trust me and know I’m mature enough to handle my own problems and situations. My relationship with my parents haven’t changed, I think they treat me better because they’re not as hard on me as they were when I was in middle school.

     Now since I’m in high school, I consider it the real world, because no one is guiding like in middle school anymore, I’m on my own. My view of the world changed because from last year, I learned that life isn’t as easy as I thought it was.

I’ve now begun to pay more attention to my future career. After high school, is college, where I can major in a specific subject that I want to be when I get out of college. I became more optimistic about my future because college isn’t to far away, and I cant go there not having a clue to what I want to be and what I would like to do.

     I think since coming to Parkway I have changed as a student because I always used to think I was right about everything and didn’t use to listen to what teachers said. I was hardheaded and didn’t care about anything. Now as a student I will listen to people and teachers and know I'm not always right.

   Coming to high school experience changed a lot about me. This experience made me more mature, more of a learner and listener. From high school, I’ve mad new good friends. I learned just to get out there and be you. Be who you want to be.
