What Do I Hope to Have in My Senior High School (by 12th grader)
Thomas – 12th grader
After graduating from junior high school, I started to think about what senior high school life would be like. I didn’t want to be a student who can do nothing but studying. Instead, I would like to lead a colorful high school life, join clubs, and make friends. Also, I hoped to become a member of the badminton team in order to strengthen my body and enhance my skill of playing badminton. After experiencing senior high school life for two years, I have a little bit different idea to the theme. Terrific as my original thought was, I didn’t take the most important part – academic performance into account. However, I gradually realized that the purpose of getting into high school is to acquire knowledge rather than only enjoy a carefree life.
When entering senior high school, I immediately joined the pop music club and the badminton team. It seemed that my dream came true. Nevertheless, I found it difficult to adapt in the pop music club, so I quit it after a semester and focused on playing badminton. So hard did I practice that I won the city champion with my teammates, and we made friends with each other since we had the same goal of being the best players on the court. Also, I studied hard to get better academic performance, which made me become a student I hope to be.
During these years in high school, I have definitely become more mature and knowledgeable. I think that I make my dream come true, and I even enjoy a better life than I originally hoped to have.

After experiencing senior high school life for two years, I had a slightly different idea from what I had before. Terrific as my original plan was, I didn’t take the most important part into account – academic performance. However, rather than just enjoying a carefree life, I gradually realized that my primary purpose of getting into high school is to be responsible for myself and what I have done and to prepare for entering an ideal university in order to have the further study to acquire more knowledge about what I’ve been interested in – Mechanical Engineering.
Joining the pop music club and the badminton team, it seemed that my dream came true. Nevertheless, I found it difficult to adapt to the pop music club, so I quit it after a semester and focused on playing badminton. So hard had I practiced that I won the city championship with my teammates, and ever since we have become best friends for we have the same goal of being the best players on the court. As I mention about my academic goal, I have studied hard to equipped myself with all major subjects to shoot for my promising future.
During more than 2 years in high school, I have gone to great lengths to be excellent at what I have learned and to become more mature, which is difficult and tough. But it is rewarding and worth doing.
