High school is said to be a time for a teen to enter the early stages of adulthood. From my own personal experiences, I have grown as a person. Since my freshman year I have learned how to be more organized, modest, and a better friend. If it was not for teachers, friends, and my own problems I would never had learned these lessons. High school presents a challenge for a person to transform from adolescence to adulthood.
Before I entered into high school, I was a extremely unorganized person. It was a new experience and I did not know what to expect. The first semester of freshman year was the hardest year to deal with organization. The teacher's demands for work were astounding. I would go home after school and toss my English folder on my bedroom floor letting my papers fall out. Later on during the year when I needed a certain paper it would be missing because of my careless action. There were many times that a teacher would assign a project and I would not write down the due date or what I needed to do. Then as the date neared, I had nothing done and I was stuck with one of those last minute projects. I remember Ms. Hubbard pulled me aside one Monday and told me that if I did not get my act together I wasn't going to pass her class. That day when I got home I made a basket where I can put my folder. I went to HEB and bought a planner so that I would not forget about my homework or projects. My grades jump almost instantly and I finished her calls with an eighty-five average.
If you ask any of my friends when I first entered high school they would tell you I was not a very modest person. I guess you can say that I was a little conceited and stuck-up. I was just out of eighth grade and was use to being the top of the class. I thought that when I was in high school I was going to be popular and everyone was going to want to hang around with me. I started to hang around some of my brother's old friends and I soon became an outsider.
