The end of the year and the year ahead
It is hard to believe that my sophomore year of high school is only a couple weeks from being finished. It is almost surreal to think that my time in high school is almost half over. It seems as only last week, I was still trying to learn the names of all the new students who joined at the start of the year. Many of these new students have become good friends. Now, instead of trying to remember the name's of people, I'm trying to remember the names of courses for next year. I have also payed close attention to my exam schedule. Despite the end of this year, there is still a long road ahead. |
Preparing for Junior Year
As my sophomore year comes to an end I am beginning to think about my next year of high school, my junior year. The junior year of high school is, in my opinion, the most important year of hight school. It is the final year before senior year and arguably the year when academic performance matters the most. During junior year, the college application process is in full swing. Because of this, the grades earned in junior year are most important factors in determining what colleges will and won't accept me. Of all the years of high school, junior year will be the most influential on the rest of my life. This is because Junior year is when the college application process is in full swing. Junior year, for me at least, will also be the beginning of my IB courses. As several of my upcoming classes will be apart of the IB program. The IB program is an international high school education program. IB courses are two years long which mean I will also be taking them during my senior year, but they begin in my junior year. Whatever my junior year hold, I will be waiting for it. Due to the importance of junior year, I will give my all even more than I already do.
Finishing Strong
As my Sophomore years end and I look ahead at my junior year, it is important not to neglect the final weeks of my sophomore year. Studying for finals is a top priority, as ready for the summer as I may be. Even at the end, finals can still have a major impact on my final grade. However, I am fully confident in my ability to be successful on my final exams. Once success is achieved there, the only place I can look is forward. |
