As students grow up, the phrase1,“Enjoy every high school moment, it willfly by quick”starts to be said quite often. I was first told this phrase when I wasa freshman2 in high school at the beginning of the school year in 2020. I neverbelieved3 anyone who told that high school would fly by fast, because in my headI thought,“How can four years just fly by fast?”
I went into freshman year scared. I didn’t know my classmates and teachers.I did not know where any of my classes were because I was in a new building.Thankfully, I had joined high school dance because I had upperclassmen4 thereto help me with all the tips and tricks5 to get me through high school.
My dance team would often stretch6 in a circle7 at the beginning of practice.We would talk about the coming school year as practices started in mid-July.During one of these practices the team decided to give me some advice8. BecauseI was the only freshman on the team at the time and I was afraid of what toexpect my freshman year. As we were going around the circle, a senior9 that Ihave looked up to for many years, told me, “Enjoy each high school moment, itwill go by before you know it.”This phrase stuck10 in my head. I did not believeher, but looking back, she was right. High school does fly by.
随着学生的成长,“享受每一刻高中时光,它转瞬即逝”这句话开始被人经常提起。我第一次得知这句话是在2020 学年开始时,当时我还是一名高一学生。我从来不相信有人说高中时光会过得很快,因为我脑海中想的是:“四年怎么会过得很快呢?”
我带着恐惧进入了高一。我不认识我的同学和老师,不知道我的课在哪里上,因为我在一栋陌生大楼里。谢天谢地,我加入了高中舞蹈队,因为在那儿我有学长学姐传授我许多提示和诀窍,好让我顺利完成高中学业。
我的舞蹈队经常在练习开始时会围成一圈拉伸。七月中旬开始练习时,我们会谈论即将到来的学年。在其中一次练习中,舞蹈队员们决定给我一些建议。因为当时我是队里唯一的新生,我害怕高中第一学年即将到来的事。
当我们绕着圆圈走动的时候,一位我仰慕多年的高四学生告诉我:“享受每一刻的高中时光,它会在你不知不觉中流逝。”这句话深深印在我的脑海里。我不相信她的话,但回头想想,她是对的,高中时光确实过得飞快。
Before I knew it my first year of high school was over and summer wascoming to an end. It told us that sophomore11 year was coming. Freshman yearwas a piece of cake, which was a lot like eighth grade just with more classes.Sophomore year then came along and was simple, but it also came with morehomework. Most students in my grade complained12 about it, but I didn’t feelthe same way as they did. Because for me homework in sophomore year is easyto finish, but junior year is when it started to become too difficult.
Junior year is when it started to get real, all the kids in my class started toknow they are turning into grown-ups. The start of junior year marks thebeginning for college13 meetings with counselors14. All the students of junior yearshould start thinking about what they want to do for the rest of their lives.Rounding out junior year really puts to me how much time I have left beforegoing out into the real world as an adult.
It comes to senior year at last—the year of the last. My last year of highschool has come, and it feels like just yesterday I was a scared little freshmanwalking into her first day of classes. Now in less than five months the class willbe graduating15 and going off in different ways. It is very difficult for us to seeothers. Graduating is sad to think about but also exciting as to what is next tocome. If I could give any advice to any new students, my advice would be thesame as everyone said to me, the old phrase, “Enjoy every high school moment,time flies by before you know it.”
不知不觉中,我高中的第一年结束了,夏天也即将结束。它告诉我们高二要来了。高一的学习是小菜一碟,就像八年级一样,只是课程更多。高二来了,很简单,但也带来了更多的家庭作业。我们年级的大多数学生都抱怨过这件事,但我和他们的感受不同。因为对我来说,高二的作业很容易完成,但高三时就开始变得很难了。
高三的时候大家开始变得现实起来,我们班所有的孩子都开始知道他们正在变成大人。高三的开始标志着大学辅导会议的开始。所有高三的学生都要开始思考他们以后的人生想做什么。高三的结束把一个问题摆在了我面前———在成年后步入现实世界之前,自己还剩下多少时间。
终于到了高四———最后一年。我高中的最后一年已经到来,感觉就在昨天,我还是一个担惊受怕第一天走进课堂的高一新生。现在还有不到五个月的时间,这个班就要毕业了,然后各奔东西。我们很难再和他人相见。想到毕业就令人难过,但想到接下来会发生什么也很令人兴奋。如果我可以给新生提建议,我的建议将与每个人对我说的一样,还是那句老话:“享受每一刻高中时光,时间会在不知不觉中流逝。”
