At first, I was a little bit overwhelmed, but now that I have started to get a hang of things I am really liking high school. I am so glad I chose to try out for Episcopal's cheerleading squad because I have met a lot of really interesting people. I feel like I have gotten so close with the squad because we are always working together on stunts or cheers. I also really like how I have a lot of freedom. It is so different from middle school because I was always told what to do and when to do it. However, I feel like I have a lot more pressure in these four years than I will have in my whole life. I realize that these next four years of my life determine who I am going to be in life and what I will do with it. And I only have a short amount of time to figure it out! I also have a lot more responsibility, now that I have all of this freedom. And when I turn sixteen I will have a car and a lot more responsibility comes with that as well. I also get to go to Sadie's and Homecoming which is extremely exciting.
My teacher's are great because they want me to succeed and are constantly pushing me to do so. Sometimes, I may not always appreciate it, but in the end I know that it will make me smarter and strengthen my work ethic. The expectations between middle school and high school teachers are very different. I was babied in middle school, but now I am treated like an adult, but that comes with a lot more responsibility. Now that I am a high-schooler I also feel like I have gained more respect from my peers, teachers, and parents.
I completely agree how much better the freedom in high school is. I think you will do great in these next four years. I hope we have more classes together next year. I agree the teachers are great and we are blessed to have such a great education.
