Last semester I learned that high school is a lot different from middle school. After a few weeks of being in high school I felt like eighth grade didn't prepare me too well for high school. It took a while for me to get used to the schedule and being in high school in general. At first, my grades weren't as good as I expected them to be. Once I got used to what the classes were like in high school, I was able to push my grades up a little bit.
I have also learned that you need to spend more time on homework in high school than in middle school. You also need to manage your time better because you are much more independent in high school than in middle school. At the beginning of the year when I was struggling a little bit, I had a hard time figuring out which teacher I should go see during tutorial. I also had to figure out when I should go see the teacher. For some reason this stressed me out a little bit, but I eventually was able to figure everything out.
I agree that High School is a lot more different than Middle School. I had some of the same issues you had at the beginning of the year. I am glad you figured out everything and relieved the stress.
