Six months and waiting…

In a little more then six months I will be starting highschool. The thought scares me because I won’t know anyone, since I’m going to another highschool (because of an erichment program that will be one of my elecitves). Therefore, I will not know about 1,000 kids in the school. One part that I don’t like about the move is that I will have to change my morning schedule and wake up early, because my parents will not be able to drive me in anymore, and highschool starts earlier than middle school. However, I think that the move will be worthwhile because I will gain skills that will be useful in collage and beyond; some that I would not have gained if I went to my assigned highschool. The reason why I’m nervous about starting high school is because I know that whatever happens during my four years can make either a negative or postive impact on my future goals and plans.
At the same time, the thought of high school exictes me because I will be able to explore a variety of topics in afterschool activities. I think that I will be introduced to a large variety of new people, because I will not be limited to one group, throughout the major portion of the school day.
Since I want to keep my grades up, I will be working even harder in highschool. I will also be taking challenging courses that will test my intellectual ability, and that will also increase my reading comprehension. To prepare for collage I will take 7 credits, which is the recomended amount. To make sure that the courses on my course selection sheet are at my ability level, i have conferenced with my teachers, parents, and even some of the teachers from the highschool that I will be attending.
