The first six weeks was quite hectic for me, Of course I promised myself I would get perfect grades and still have fun. The having fun part was very easy for me to do, the grades portion was challenging in some aspects.
The first week back to school I caught up with all my friends and immediately made plans to go to the varsity games and see all the new movies. I quickly learned my new schedule and spent most of the first week in all my classes making supply lists. I really did not think that sophomore year was going to be much different than freshman year. I was a bit surprised at the immense work load. All of my classes are pre-ap, as they were last year. Although, this year my teachers were more demanding. I found myself intimidated my by world history class and algebra two class.
These two classes demand a lot of studying and all-nighters unfortunately. I soon realized that I would actually have to start studying and applying myself more to get a decent grade, whereas last year all my classes where easygoing.
Even though my new schedule was a tad frightening. I soon learned to appreciate my teacher’s work ethics; I found their teaching methods similar to the way college professors operate. A big fear of mine is that I would not be properly prepared for college attending skyline but I feel reassured now.
These six weeks was definitely a learning experience for me, it has taught me to not procrastinate and accept my new responsibilities.
