There is a big transition between junior high and high school. Lots of things are different. For example, there is a bigger school, a lot more people, and the work is harder. Jake Luedtke and Max Kaminski are two freshman who are on the football team and have significant thoughts about high school so far. Only a little more than a quarter of the way through the year this is what Jake had to say, “I think high school has been going great so far. I genuinely like the teachers, and I’ve made a lot of friends. I think high school is hard especially with managing time to get homework done considering the excessive amounts. However, I don’t think it is terrible.” – Jake Luedtke. This is important significant because Jake plays two different sports and still has time to complete all his work on time as well as study for tests and continue to get good grades. Max also has an opinion on how he feels high school is going so far, “High school is very fun, it has been a great experience for me and hopefully I strive to do better in high school and in life. I have made a lot of new friends, and the football season has been great. I hope it will continue to get better from here.” – Max Kaminski. Hopefully Max’s motivation for the rest of the school year and to overall aim at being more successful helps him to get through the rest of the school year without many problems. Both Max and Jake seem to like high school so far and have made many new friends and have met many different people. Although they both have a mostly positive attitude towards their first year of high school so far, many different people have different experiences good and bad. I want to hear your opinion. Did you enjoy your first year of high school?
