First Week Memoir

My first two weeks at Stevenson High School have proved to be pretty exciting. The first few
days started out slow with the constant reminders of the school rules and what we would actually be learning in the semester. Because of everything being new and having classes with people I didn’t know you can understand was really nervous. However, by the first Friday of the school year, everything was running smoothly. I’ve been getting to my classes on time, doing well in those classes, and making new friends along the way. That Friday was the freshman dance. It was a really fun way to meet people I had only seen passing by them in the halls between classes.

The following week was definitely a more challenging week of school, since we were back in the groove of getting up early and done getting used to things. It was normal to get homework every night, unlike in middle school when we may have had one easy thing to do. I had at least three assignments to do every night and I am sure I am not the only one who did. We have been learning a lot in Biology and English while subjects like Geometry and Spanish are mostly review. We have started softball in PE and have been having a lot of fun playing it. The second week was much more fun than the first because we got to do many more activities. Despite everything that’s been happening around school and the long hours it goes on, I have had a good time. Even when it seems the day will never end, I still manage to learn more about academics and other people every day. Between the Geometry homework, current event discussions, English essays, and Science experiments, it was still a good couple of days.
