Goals As a Freshman

As a Freshman, I tend to have a lot of goals. In academics, I want to score nothing lower than an 80 on all daily work and tests. So far I have reached that goal. When I received my progress reports, my grades were between 80 and 100. For my electives and other activities, I have goals as well.  In January, I plan to audition for strings in the Mississippi Youth Symphony Orchestra. This could help me get a scholarship to my dream school, Julliard. Also, I am one of the Freshman Maids for my school. This week is Homecoming, so I will be in the pep rally, parade, and the Homecoming game. I am also excited because we will ride to the game in a limousine. So as the year goes by, I can tell that I will accomplish a lot.

Thoughts On Starting High School

During this summer, all I could think about was being a freshman. I was excited just to wear my new clothes and that I'm out of uniform. Other than that, I was both nervous and scared. I had to get used to a new school-a bigger school, and a lot of new people. Then, on the first day of school, I was terrified! I was so scared that I had to have my older sister to walk in with me. So after that, I got my schedule and I was mentally lost. I had no idea what type of classes these where. I barely take classes with any of my friends and I am in class with UPPERCLASSMEN!! I was so scared on the first day to the point to where I was shaking like crazy! But other than that, as the weeks went by, I started making new friends and liking my classes. I can now say that I am a proud Jim Hill Tiger.
