I have to write a paper about the first week of school, help me out?

Question

First off, I'm a senior in high school and I'm on the yearbook staff. To get a feel of our writing style and skills, our teacher wants us to write about the first week of school and how it's different than any other year.

Now I absolutely love to write. I love turning a mundane subject into something beautiful and interesting to read just by the use of words. I love constructing a paper, sentence by sentence and then having it all flow together and sound amazing. I love using language that we don't use in everyday life, but still gets the point across.

The problem is, I haven't had the opportunity to write anything since like mid last year. My skills are rusty right now and I don't want to turn in a mediocre paper. I want it to be absolutely amazing.

I'm having trouble making a clear point about WHY this year is different for me. I'm a senior so obviously there's a lot of maturing and more responsibility for me, but what are some points I can make that will keep the paper flowing nicely and end with a concrete conclusion?

It only has to be a couple paragraphs but any ideas? I can talk about the growth I've had since freshman year, responsibilities of being an upperclassmen, how my perspective has changed, etc. So you get what I mean.

Answer 1

talk about the anticipation of senior year and what you or other students expect or thought /think what it should be like

i guess conclude with how maybe since this is the beginning of a new year that it'll take that long to figure out how your year will be

Answer 2

1.  What do you see or think when you see the underclassmen, especially the freshman?  Can you remember what your first day of school was like when you were a freshman?

2.  Are there teachers you now have that you remember hearing about when you were an underclassmen?  

3.  Any differences when you go to lunch...what you eat now vs. what you ate previous years?  Any changes in the menu?

4.  I remember my senior year, and junior year now that I think about it, was all about college...what college you were going to, SAT scores, where my friends were going, etc.

5.  How you deal with the drama of going to school everyday now vs. how you dealth with it previous years...I'm sure that has changed!!!
