My year in International

Choosing what high school to go to made me real worried because I wasn’t sure which high school was the best for me. I always wanted to just go to Lee high school for one year and then leave to Mexico for the rest of my school years. But then I changed my mind and I needed to find a new school fast because I made my decision during August. International high was basically all I had left and I was worried that this school was going to mess up all my education up for me. But I still gave it a shot.
Luckily, I was accepted in International high. I saw very few of my friends here and I felt really awkward because I only saw groups of people whenever we went to lunch. It was like no one liked each other, but I knew it was because they didn’t knew each other. But time passed and I got to meet people. Later, we mostly got to know one another. Friends were great, well most of them. I spend time with a lot of my friends now. All of the year was going good so far.
The first day in International was very easy and not much work was done that day. But after some few days, hard work came. Our school work kept getting difficult and more packets were done. But after a while I got use to it and all of that work was not a challenge for me. Tons of projects were done this year and they were fun. Some projects took months to finish. My very favorite projects that I enjoy doing are the ones in art class. Art class is my favorite subject because art is what I love to do the best. The project that I thought was hard but I did manage to complete was the one from AP Human Geography class. The project was about moral debates. I started of bad and didn’t have all my work done. My grades were declining, but then I started working again for hours and I managed to pass the project and complete all my work.
Having high grades became my priority in this school. Back then, I would be satisfied with a 70. Now, I cannot let that happen. My principal made me realize how important was too keep high grades and that is what I have been doing. It was hard for me in the beginning of the year. But overtime, I made it and now I have only A’s and B’s. That’s what I am satisfied with now. I can’t have a C average because I worry that if I have that grade it will affect me greatly in the future in a bad way. There were times that I had a low grade in the hardest class in my school which is AP Human Geography. Everything went well over time.
I enjoy my time in this school mostly because of my friends. That’s the main reason why I like this school. The education is great and I really am learning a lot of new things. I really enjoy learning about current events because I feel like we are the first ones to know what happens globally. This school is great and all, that’s why I decided to stay in this school. I was waiting to see that if this school does me bad I will be moved to another but I now know that is not.
