Semiester+Final+Essay

High school. It is the hardest time in life for some people, but for me it hasn’t been too bad. At first I didn't know if foothill was going to be the right choose. After my first semester I can decide that now.I have been through half of my freshman year,the only thing I started out here with on the first day of school was a couple friends and an open mind towards Foothill...

From hearing many rumors before applying here to Foothill, I was only half ready. With people saying you will receive at least an hour of homework everyday and there would be nothing fun about Foothill. On the contrary, I heard that people at Foothill were like family. They helped freshman out during the year and are nice to everyone.

After being chosen in the lottery to go to Foothill, I was actually ready to see if these rumors were true and if Foothill was going to be a good school. On orientation day, I was picked to involve in an activity on the stage.I had to hug someone with a balloon in between and make it pop. After doing it and being a little embarrassed I then deiced that foothill was different then Ventura and Buena.

On the first day of school some of these rumors came true. Foothill wasn’t all boring but still did not have upperclassman helping you out. Foothill was defiantly different than my middle school....

Throughout all my classes I have either an A or B. My first period is Eda; this class is mainly about computers and technology, and I have an A in the class now. It really isn’t a hard class; all you have to do is finish your work. Most of the time this class is boring, but I sit by people like James, Evan, and Micheal; which makes it a lot more fun.

My second class of the day is Geography/Health. It is a fairly easy class but I have a B in it. We usually watch a movie or take notes. Mr. Prewitt is a really cool teacher that lets us do whatever and is overall a really fun class.Also I like to learn about both Geography and Health, when makes this class very fun.

For my 3rd period, I have Spanish. I have a B+ in it, and hopefully get it to an A. During class we always make random crazy stories, then write and draw them. This class isn’t too hard, all you have to do is pay attention and know how to say the words to succeed. My 4th period class is biology; right now I have an A in it. I personally like this class because I have a lot of friends in it, and also because I enjoy science. Biology is easy because it’s mostly power points and some labs,the hardest part is the tests.

For my 5th period class, I have Algebra 1. This is my easiest class because I already have done all of this work last year. The worst part of the class is that I don’t have any of my friends in it so this class can get boring sometimes.

My 6th period class is P.E. at the Ymca. I have an A in it because you don’t have to turn in work. ON Mondays we don’t go to the Ymca, so this means we go on Wednesday and Friday only. During the two days, one of the days requires you to take a class. So we get one free day, which is the best because you can just go do whatever you want. I have some of my best friends in this class so it makes it a really fun class.

My last class of the day is English. Right now I have a B in the class. English has never been my strong subject, but I have been trying to work on my English skills. 7th period is always fun because we have parties and just read books. Always a good way to end the day.

Aside from all the work and classes, I’ve have made many friends and have continue having my old friends at foothill. Friends are one of the most important parts of high school and to the rest of your life. They are always there for you, and are always someone to talk too.

When coming to Foothill, I had some friends from middle school, but after the first semester I have made even more. Also I got to see some of my friends from elementary school too. So I know even more people at foothill instead of just my friends from middle school.

At foothill now, I have from my friends from elementary school and middle school. But some of my good friends include Peter, Cameron, James, and Ty. I have known them through middle school and will continue to be friends with all of them. On the contrary, when I came to foothill I left some of my friends at Ventura and Buena. They include Tyler, Anthony, and Tim. Even though I go to a different school I still get to hang out with them.

Outside of school, I spend a lot of time with my family. Throughout the past semester there have been good and bad times. But all families have these problems; I hope it will not continue in to the next semester. With my parents, they are now causes many problems. I have to try and help get them through them but when I try to help, they usually get me to argue with or against them. Also the arguing is usually about some random thing like where the car is parked. So I usually stay out of helping if it is about something pointless. This is really the only problem in the family.

Overall this semester I’ve learned a lot of things in and out of school. In the next semester I would like to keep good grades, learn more to succeed and accomplish goals in years to come. (1,120 Words)
