Class of 2026 at Hillgrove
Freshman year is the biggest transition to make during high school, it is a different environment to get adjusted to. I interviewed freshman at Hillgrove high school to get insight into how they feel transitioning into high school.
Freshman year is the biggest year of your high school career, it is a different environment and colleges look at your freshman year to see your GPA. You start to think about what you want to be in the future and think about future goals. Alaina Williams, a former freshman, “My goals this year are to get all A’s,” “I study a lot at home to make sure I get the best grades” This shows how your freshman year can affect how you study and how you start to do work differently. Source from Princeton View “If you want to take AP courses later, now is the time to work hard and earn great grades.”
Highschool is a place with more opportunities such as sports and clubs which can benefit you as a senior, making new friends, and showing you to new things you did not know were available and did not know would interest you. Cassidy Mathius and Jordan Nichols, former freshman, “No, I wasn’t interested in any clubs,” “I am in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America),” FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) is a club for people who are interested in leadership and prepare for future careers. “Put yourself out there. Clubs, sports, robotics, try school stuff, whatever it is — pour your heart into it. It is easiest to find friends when you share the same interests.” So many new opportunities are met when joining clubs and you learn new things about the rest of your high school career.
Coming into new environments you have expectations on how you are going to adjust to the new year ahead of you. Adaku Okeh and Adeborah Opaleye, former freshman, “It was overhyped the classes I take are harder than I expected them to be” “I thought it was going to be different, but it is like middle school but with more freedom” Some expectations do not always meet the reality of high school especially your 9th grade year. “Transitioning to high school also means higher expectations and harder classes. But there’s good news too: you will meet more people, make new friends, and have more activities and opportunities to choose from..”
In conclusion, based on the insight collected from the freshman at Hillgrove everyone has a different intake on what they expect walking into a new and bigger environment compared to middle school and how they adjust to new opportunities and new people.
