My First Day of High School

School has been really crazy so far! Teachers are stricter, and there are so many more people then there was at Holmes. One thing I like a lot about school so far is that we have about six minutes for passing time. So I have more time to socialize with friends. But being in such a big school also means it's harder to keep in touch with friends that you don't have classes with. On my first day I remember walking down A hall not knowing where I was going and I kept thinking to myself that people are probably thinking I'm a clueless freshmen that needs mental help.

Classes are different then they were in middle school. Teachers at Stevenson take our schoolwork and tests very seriously. They don’t take excuses like “I forgot my book at school” or “ I’m late because my locker was jammed.” Also I have some sophomores, juniors and even seniors in some of my classes. In past years at school I have only had people in my grade level in classes with me.

The hardest thing for me to get adjusted to is probably waking up so early. Last year I would have to wake up at six thirty. Now if I wake up at even five thirty I’ll have to rush or I’ll be late for school. The homework is also a challenge. I made plans with friends after school on the first day thinking I would have time because teachers never give homework on the first day. I ended up having to cancel my plans because I had homework in almost all my classes. And I had to write an essay about my first day. I miss middle school but I know that high school is probably going to be even better!
