youre not in middle school anymore

Write a paragraph explaining how you think this high school is different from your middle school experience. Be specific.

In middle school it was easy for me to pass my classes. Most of the time i wouldn't do my homework or classwork for some of my classes, and still passed. If i were to do the same thing now i would fail all of my classes. The classes were also shorter and the teachers were more lenient towards late work and retaking tests. In middle school there werent that many dress codes to follow and now there is because we have to wear uniform, properly. Teachers expect more from you, and they challenge you more, here.

Mentor

Knowing what you know now, what would you have told an incoming freshman? Imagine that you are writing to a freshman coming to this school in August of 2007. What advice would you give? Write a paragraph.

Being a freshman at Animo Venice is very different than how it was in middle school. It's not difficult to pass a class, but if u don't do alot of your work it is hard to pass the class especially because there aren't any D's. It is important to also come to office hours if u dont understand something. You should always participate in class because thats how you can get easy points for participation. Do your homework because usually the questions that are on the homework are on the tests.

Break!

What did you do over the break? Did you go anywhere? How did you relax?
Over the break i didnt really do much, i moslty spent my time sleeping or at my cousins house. It was boring because i didnt really get to do much because it was cold and raining. I went to the movies and hung out with friends but didnt really go anywhere interesting.


What will you do differently this semster?
This semester i will try harder than last semester because i didnt have the grades i wanted, even though they were descent i wanted better grades. I think i could have done better, thats why this semester im going to try harder.
