From Big Fish to Little Fish; From Little Fish to Sophomores

 

     As the seniors prep for college, the juniors look ahead to be top dogs of the school, and the sophomores plan out their junior year, the freshmen look forward to their second year of high school.

      In the movies, freshmen year is always the hardest year, full of hazing, fish jokes, and physical bullying such as locker, toilet, and trashcan stuffing, but in real life its not all like that. As the school year goes on, the nervous, forgetful freshmen turn into mature sophomores, and find their niche in the school. 

    “I was really excited my first couple weeks of freshmen year, because I was in a new environment with tons of new people. I was really looking forward to my high school experience, but it took me a awhile for Roosevelt to feel like home,” Francine Marroquin, freshman, said. 

    Freshmen year is also a time for new students to get into the groove of high school.    

    “My first couple weeks as a freshmen were very eye-opening. I had to learn how to handle a bigger work load and make bigger decisions,” Stormie Hernandez, freshman, said.

    With over half the year over, even the seniors are starting to feel like freshmen in college, so logically the current freshmen are starting to feel like sophomores.

    “I honestly can’t believe how old I’ve gotten, but I am still very excited about what’s coming up next in my life,” Nina Hudson, freshman, said.

    As the freshmen grown up, another set comes to replace them  that is more “annoying” or “immature” as the last.

    “For the incoming freshmen, I suggest they step up and be on their game,” Marroquin said, “because there are a lot of really cool people here, including us current freshmen to compete with.” 

     For the seniors their last year is coming to a close and they are prepping for college and losing contact with their friends, but for the freshmen only their first year is coming to a close.

    “I’m not really sad or anything about freshmen year ending,” Jasmin Rollins, freshman, said, “since i still have three more years of high school left.”
