Flashback Through Freshman Year


Finish/Start
Picture By: I like


   Freshman year is almost officially over and summer is almost here!  During my Freshman year, I  had a lot of good times.  One of my best memories was from when our whole grade went to Washington.  I really enjoyed being able to see the White House in person.  Also, even though the bus ride was long, I like being able to spend time with friends.  While we were there, we all even had to get evacuated from where we were eating because the alarm went off.  It was sad when we came back, but also good because I wanted to sleep in my own bed.  Over time, one of the most important things I learned while being a freshman is that time flies by really fast.  To me, freshman year didn't take very long and now I'm almost a sophomore.  The rest of high school might be that way too.  So, if chances come along for you to do something, it's good to take it.  Another chance might not come along and it's really sad to miss out on something.  Overall, my freshman year was pretty fun.
    I have some advice for the next Freshman Class.  First off, it really pays to complete all of your work and do a good job on it because now your grades start to count for college.  If you understand the material while you're doing it, the exams should be easier for you.  Secondly, during English class when you're reading books of different dialects, it doesn't pay for you to skim the book.  You'll miss the key points and it will lead to a worse grade than you could of gotten on the test.  So, take your time and try to understand what is going on.  Lastly, even if you have a lot of work to do, sometimes it is good just to have fun.  It gets your mind off of all the stuff that needs to be completed.  It really helps to take a break and then go back and try again.  Good luck!
