Freshman Year Reflection

I believe this freshman year was alot of stress and hard. When I got accepted by Parkway West High School I thought I would be able to make friends easily, pass all my classes, and there wouldn't be any ignorant things happening;I was completely wrong. Alain Locke (my old school) there weren't that many conceited people there as it is at this school. There wasn't really people that cared about the way you looked unless its really something that drew attention to yourself. Locke was more humble than Parkway West because when 8th grade hit students didn't really make fun of others like the way they do here, we got mature.

My grades at Locke was fantastic I had A's and B's and only 1 c sometimes so I thought to myself that soon as I go to Parkway they're nothing for me to worry about. I was one of the smartest students in my class every year at Locke. I can always remember how students bum rushed each other just to sit next to me on a quiz or test cause they always wanted to see my answers. Students at my old school assumed I always will have all my answers on a test/or quiz right. Parkway West High School changed all that because I am sadly now a C's, B's, D student. I thought my grade will be higher than those but you need responsibility to get the satisfying grade. I am so ashamed cause I thought I could do better. I look at myself way differently cause I thought I was a genius now I think im average.

Since I been in Parkway there was good changes also about me. I used to be terrified to dance in front of anybody but Parkway changed that. I volunteer to a dancing at Parkway it was a big experience. I knew I was a dancer but I wouldn't had seen myself as a ballet/modern dancer! I performed twice in front of Parkway and I was terrified! The first time i danced in front of this school it was nerve rising. I realize soon as you get up on the stage its like nobodies watching you.

Optimistic about my future? Yes I have been more optimistic about my future. In middle school, I never really cared about college; now I think college will make m have a better life.:))
