Hi, guys! How is everything going
Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge.
The first week was a little confusing.
First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wantedto take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones:maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know thatChinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent whenI graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up foradvanced literature beeause I like English and I'm good at it.

Going from junior high school to senior high school
is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.
First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because
I like English and I’m good at it.
Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.
I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried
to join the school football team, but the coach told me
that I didn’t play well enough.

Homework
As a freshman , I felt excited but nervous about senior high school. Frankly , the workload was a challenge with many advanced assignments . I felt confused about balancing studies and activities initially. Gradually , I improved my routine by making a schedule. I joined clubs to be more outgoing and meet amazing classmates. Instead of stress, I now feel confident and keep calm . My goal is to enjoy teenage life while taking responsibility for my growth!
Thank You
