10th Grade

This year has definitely been a change from the past three years of junior high. Certain aspects of high school that I like better, and some not so much. Since I have completed one semester of high school, it is safe to say that we are allowed more freedom here. Most of the teachers are more laid back, probably because we, or at least most of us, are more mature. The homework is not as bad as many alumni made it out to be. I'm not saying high school is easy by any means, but the homework is not absolutely impossible. Another thing I found that I liked more in high school, than in junior high was that there are tons more organizations students can be a part of.

On the downside of high school life, I am still a little jealous that the seniors get open campus and the juniors and sophomores do not. I understand the reasons why we are not allowed, so it will be so much better when I am a senior. Also, back to the homework, it is not the material that is hard, but the amount of homework we are assigned. Once again I ask, why do teachers encourage us to join extracurricular activities, yet load us with homework every night and on weekends? It is a question i may never understand. Overall high school all that I expected it to be, and I like it.
