For my first year of high school I would have never expected for everything to go so fast. High school is such a jump compared to middle school. I am so happy that I was able to make new friends and even connect with old ones from middle and elementary school, this has made my first high school year so much better. Through all the challenges of my first few weeks I was able to find an even balance between homework and friends. I found attending school events like football games, soccer games, the winter formal and the snowfall serenade have enriched my high school experience. Being apart of these events show the amazing school spirit and made me feel like I was really apart of centennials community. I feel like I’ve feel as I changed greatly from the beginning of the school year till now. I’ve learnt with my new freedom I have so much more responsibilities as in having all your homework done and handed in, getting to all your classes on time and even studying for tests and quizzes far more often. If I needed to tell anyone that’s going into their first year of high school, I would tell them to be ready for much more work, in middle school you think that your can just do all your work at home, but in high school you need to use all available times, use flex and do your work in class.

When doing my math homework I took notes as I was doing my work. I used these notes a tool when trying to do my work to help me understand the equations better.
An Inspirational quote
This quote is by one of my favourite artist. The quote “Don’t wait for the tide just to dip both feet in” is telling you to take action (dip both feet in) and stop waiting for the perfect time or circumstance (tide).
