Thank you Wes LaFleur for the idea: High School: Being a Freshman. There is a lot that can be said about any high school subject, but first and foremost I am going to say for those of you who are indeed going to be freshmen next year... High school is way, way better than middle school.
Now some of you may have fears about making the step from the small pond to the ocean, but really it's not that bad. All the movies that take place in high schools are all very false portrayals. When I was a freshman I had no problems with being hazed or bullied. And actually everything was great after my first few days of not knowing exactly where I was going in such a large building.
For those of you who play sports, high school is a much different story than middle school. In middle school any scrub can play any sport they want and many kids just do sports to socialize. While socializing is still a major part of any high school sport, the majority of the people on the teams as you get older actually take the sport seriously which is a much better environment to succeed. In high school my XC and Track teams were very serious competitors, but a ton of fun as well. I dunno if I would have made it through everything during my high school years without the, "Cadillac Crew," or rather my friends I made from the team. They were my closest my family and still are to this day.
Pretty much, being a freshman is nothing to fear or anything to worry about. It's just another year of school, but much better than the middle school years. There are more events to attend and many more people to meet. Everybody finds their crowd and their niche in high school. Good luck to all of you!
I will continue posting more about high school later as right now I have to go meet some people at Upland and Scholar's Inn. Please post topics and questions regarding high school if you have any! Thanks!
"How do I teech deese keeeeds?!" ~ Eric Cartmanez (South Park: see image below) After spending a year working full-time at a middle school and talking to many students about a multitude of things. I decided to start a blog regarding life lessons/skills that teenagers need to learn that they don't necessarily learn in school. I'm here to provide hopefully useful information to you all based on whatever I feel like ranting about or by request by my readers and followers. Thanks and enjoy!
