They say high school is really tough. Guess what? It is! That is, if you can't handle it. Sophomore year is an important year because you have to take important things like the CAHSEE. However, it's also the year of celebrating that you're not a freshman to other folk. Im glad that I finished sophomore year with okay grades, my club running well, and having new friendships.
I didnt have the best grades in freshman year because I was near failing physics and PE. So I tried changing it in sophomore year. I took classes that I could kind of handle. World History AP and Pre-AP Biology were my hardest classes to keep up with and English Pre-AP was always on the rocks. However, I was able to pass those classes with at least a C and I'm okay with that because I tried. Sophomore year though wasn't all about academics because I did other things like helping to run a club.
Kimball University Club was created by Miss Klo and Mrs. Thornton. Jamie Lam, Catrina and I helped made the club grow. Jamie was president, Catrina was treasurer, and I was vice-president. We had a secretary but she was never there. We met up every week to discuss fund-raiser ideas and which colleges we wanted to visit. In sophomore year, we hosted the college fair, visited Cal Berkeley, and had a successful fund-raiser. Not only did this club brought opportunities, it also brought new friends.
I met new people through the club and classes that had 95% of freshmen in them. I was the only sophomore in Pre-AP Biology. I was one of the two sophomores in French 1. Though freshmen can get pretty annoying, I was able to find ones that weren't so irritating and had fun that way.
My sophomore year wasn't a total failure because I ended up having passable grades, a good club, and bunch of new friends. I learned alot of things from my mistakes and so I hope I'm able to not to the same mistakes in my junior year. High school to me is something that never stops being surprising.
