High School

High School
I can’t believe summer is over. My first day of high school is a matter of minutes away. Is it true seniors beat up only freshman? Is there a ton of homework? I had butterflies in my stomach as my friends and I made our way to school. As I opened the doors it all seemed like a foreign country.
I pulled out my map and find my locker and immediately found it. I grabbed my supplies and headed to my 1st hour which was at the end of the busiest hall in the school. It took a few minutes to get down the hall but I finally made it into my classroom. I was about to begin my first class of high school. The teacher introduced herself and like every other class that day we went over the rules. About an hour later the bell rang and I left for my 2nd hour.
After 2nd hour I went to my locker but it wasn’t there. It took about 10 minutes to find it and I had to get a teacher to help me. The rest of the day went routine and I found all my classes and my locker. Now after about two weeks I have gotten use to the school. I like my classes and all of my teachers are good. High school is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Over the summer you usually hear about all of these made up stories to scare freshman and so far none of them are true.
There is a lot of homework in high school. In middle school I didn’t have much homework and the homework I did have was easy. Now that I’m in high school my grades are a lot more important because of having a GPA and being in harder classes. In middle school you could fail in all of your classes and still move on but now if you fail a class you will have to make it up by retaking it or in summer school. High school is a little more challenging and big but so far I have liked it.
