Freshman - Senior Reflection

My high school years have been the best years of my life so far. High school has given me the opportunity to learn who I really am, who I can really count on and what I can do in my life after school. I have a lot of memories from my high school years since it is only now just coming to a close. I remember my freshman year was a little rough. Coming in as a small freshman is always bad. I was terrified of the seniors when I came into the high school. They were basically ten times bigger than I was and they had control of the school at that time. However, freshman year was also the year I began getting involved. I joined clubs, I went to dances such as Homecoming and Snowball. I also had a great group of friends my freshman year. My sophomore year was the year I tried out for a sport for the first time and to my surprise I made the team. I had tried out for the Varsity Cheerleading team and ever since then I have been on the team and have gotten to work with a wide variety of people. My best years of high school are my junior and senior years because I had finally become an upperclassman. Junior and Senior year I was finally able to go to prom. My senior prom was definitely the best. I had an amazing time with my friends dancing, eating dinner, and have a bunch of laughs. We also had an amazing time after we got to spend more time together, which we all hadn’t done in a long time. My junior year brought on a new cheerleading coach, Coach Hale. Over the years, I have gotten close with her. She has been the one adult I can talk to or vent to when I don’t want to talk to my parents. Coach Hale is always there for me, she has made my junior and senior years of cheerleading memorable. I would have to say I am very happy for how far I have come in my life. I have reached my goals for this year and I couldn’t be more proud of myself. It is hard to believe my high school days are coming to a close because that means in less than a month I will be out in the real world dealing with responsibilities that I have never had before. Senior year has been very memorable, even with the ups and downs that I have had. It has made me the person I am now. I have gotten to enjoy my last year on the fall cheerleading team, my last dances (Homecoming, Prom, etc.), and the last time I will see a variety of my classmates. Soon I will be saying goodbye to 90% of my class to never see them again for at least 10 years. I will always remember my high school days and going through every school with the same class, adding or maybe even losing a few people along the way. However, I have enjoyed growing with the class that I have throughout the years, even though we haven’t gotten along. We have shaped into amazing people and I couldn’t be more proud. 

Sixth - Eighth Grade Reflection

  I believe my middle school years definitely weren’t the best years of my life. I faced many challenges in my sixth through eighth grade years. Some of those challenges include bullying. During middle school I wasn’t exactly liked by my class so I was always the little girl that got picked on for anything they deemed worthy. I wasn’t as cute as most of the girls so they often called me ugly, or fat, or anything else they could think of. I also faced challenges with my grades. When I was in middle school I didn’t work that hard in my classes so my grades overall, and on tests were not great at all. In order to get where I am now I was made to focus on school work first before friends or doing anything else. One memory I have from middle school is going to all the fun night dances. Those were times where I could just have a good time with my friends and enjoy the life I had. In middle school I had the opportunity to make a bunch of friends that I still have today. In middle school I also had the opportunity to learn how to make smoothies, pancakes, a grilled cheese and many other foods. I got to do this in my Family and Consumer Science class with my teacher Mrs. Zelasko. Even though middle school wasn’t my best experience I still found a way to enjoy it with the help of my family, friends, and teachers that I was able to talk to. 

Kindergarten - Fifth Grade Reflection

  There are many things I remember about my kindergarten through fifth grade years, but there are also a variety of things that I cannot remember. One thing I remember from my primary school years is having our big water fight, where we would bring in liters of water and spray each other with water when summer and the hot weather came around. Another memory I have is from my intermediate school days. I remember my fifth grade teacher, Mr. Niedel, slapping Jacob L’s desk because he had fallen asleep and after he did that the entire class stared at him till he woke back up. It was so funny. My final memory of fifth grade was when all the fifth grade classes went outside to shoot off the rockets we had been building throughout the year. I remember my kindergarten teacher. Her name was Mrs. Malik. She was the nicest teacher I have ever had. I remember getting the opportunity to go outside to play on the playground or in the snow when it was winter. We would be told to bring our snowsuits, gloves, hats, and boots the day prior and then the next day when we had free time she would take us all outside and we would get to build snowmen, make snow angels, and have snowball fights. My primary school years were the best because those were the days that I had no responsibilities or a future to worry about like I do today. The primary school gave me the opportunity to enjoy being a child before the real world hit me later on in life.
