Starting highschool...!

Question

im starting high school in 2 weeks. how was your 9th grade experience when you started highschool? what did you like/dislike?

and any tips on first day/year of hs? im really nervous!

Answer 1

after the first week its boring just like middle school.

Answer 2

I'm going into Grade 10 this year and to me Grade 9 was a pretty good year. It'll pretty much be the same except: there will be a LOT more clubs, you'll have exams (don't worry exams aren't as bad as people usually say!), more people, and a different schedule. You'll get used to everything soon and it'll be fine. On the first day for me it was basically a lot of "OMG I HAVN'T SEEN YOU IN SO LOOOONG!!!" lol. Other than that, you just see your friends, get your schedule, etc. and that's it!

I liked that there were a lot more clubs, the lockers were cleaner, I had a lot of classes with my friends, the library was nice, and the teachers were pretty normal and nice as teachers go.

What I didn't like was that there were SOOO many people! Also, the teachers kept on freaking us out by being all "You have to work hard because if you fail you'll have to redo courses." and "Exams and summatives are worth 30% so be prepared."

Hmm for the first day..well if a lot of the people from your middle school will also be going to your high school, then it won't be too difficult. But if you moved or something, just be yourself (yes I know that sounds lame lol but its true ^^) and don't be shy.

Hope this helped!
