Q: What are 3 words to describe your first day of high school and why did you choose them?
A: “Confused, shy, and enjoyable. I felt very confused trying to find my classes, I was confused about how the school worked, and I was confused about how the classes. I was very shy trying to make new friends and talked with the teacher. But I enjoyed my first day and knew that I was going to love high school.”

A: “I really didn’t struggle with navigating the school the first two days where the only days I had struggled but that’s usually. I feel that I have a good grasp of the school. I know that most hallways have sections, I know where the gym, basement, cafeteria, etc are.”
Q: Who has left an impression on you in the first couple of weeks— whether it be a classmate, staff member, or teacher? Describe the impression.

Q: How do you want to remember your high school experience four years later? What are you doing now or how do you plan to make that happen?
A: “I want to remember my high school experience as one of the best experiences, one of the most memorable, and one of the most stressful experiences I have had. I’m right now just focusing on school trying to get them A+, and I’m planning to get my scholarship to U of M and become a millionaire.”
