What are the positives of being tracked in high school?

Everyone knows where you are, so it's unlikely you'll be lost.

I think that's the best way I've ever heard it put. When I was younger it was so easy to be in touch with who I was, now I look at these kids and think, what a bunch of posers! High school was the best time in my life, kids nowaday, just annoy me, they seem so lost. Our music was the easiest way to channel all of our ... everything.

No just be yourself, a little bit of nervousness is to be expected, most human beings are nervous with change. Even if they do not want to admit to it. However, you will have the opportunity to meet many different people. And it will not be anything like high school with all of the clicks. Make the best of it. Making friends will be easy. Good luck to you and God bless

i love track.  It's a great way to spend two hours after school, I especially like doing the field stuff... like javelin and discus.

If you're thinking about fast tracking like that, its a pretty safe assumption that you're decent at math, right?  If this is the case, I'd say go for it!  As long as you still put in the work and try your best to learn, you'll be fine.  I was in the same boat and at one point took four high school math courses in one year.  It worked out well for me, and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Too me yes and no. When i was in Middle school i was looking forward to high school as a new start. I thought it was going to be great! That's when all the teachers came in and started stating that high school is so hard and that people don't care about you there and its just one big place with a bunch of bad people doing bad things. These where the teachers that were suppose to be supporting me! So i was so worried going to high school and when i got there i noticed it was great! it was just like middle school but there was a whole lot of more people and you get a bit more Independence homework and school wise. So i guess high school is different in some ways but its a whole lot better then middle school. There are a lot more people that you get to know and you classes will have different people in them but it just opens the door to new friends.

As a student of the eighth grade, I learned that we opened up the gates to the future and for new opportunities. We set a standard for our future eighth graders and we beat the standard set before us. We made an impact on the school that will be remembered for ever. \n\nSome of us have been at Uptown since kindergarten and others just came this school year. I remember when we first came to school in September. We saw new faces and people who we lost touch with over the summer. Our eighth grade students made new friends and those friends became some of the best friends that we ever had. Over this school year we became wiser, mature, and better people as young adults. As we enter our high school years, our school years will go so fast you won't even notice and we will.\n\nThis eighth grade year is a year to remember. During this year, we each had our ups and down, but we still carried on. All we have to do is to learn from the past. The past is a roadmap to the future and if we study it will help us to find our way. The past will teach us what we have to do better in the future. All of us can say we made mistakes, but also we can say that we made better decisions. \n\nIn the future, we will never know what might happen, although we can guess. Somehow we can dream of being future doctors, lawyers, teacher, athletes, and other exciting careers. But we must facts that some of may not accomplish our goals and dreams. Since we are getting older, life as we know it will not be the same.\n\nWhat lies in the future? I can say that I don’t know. But we can change it if we help each other and come together as one. Now the future is our hands and it’s up to us to control it. Always remember the children are our future.

Me. And I found my best friend from high school on there. Now we can 'talk' to each other when we have free time. I can also keep track of my younger relatives to make sure they are not being bad.

A lot of fun, it feels nice to be more independent. Partying is fun, but do be careful, you grades can suffer. College is the best years of school, at least I think.

High school is good enough

Google "freshman track results" - you should get a couple of thousand hits, which will let you compare yourself to others across the world. Your coach should know, too. Anything under 6 sounds great to me.

Relax, you'll be fine.  Get involved in the things you are interested in.  Be a leader, not a follower.  Don't do stuff to be "popular" when you know in your heart it is wrong.  Study hard, play hard.  Be kind to others.  I loved high school; the best 4 years of my life!

Yeah, overall I'd say it was great.  Of course there were bad times, getting picked on, a couple of fights with a particular bully, feeling like everyone else had nicer clothes, etc. but most of that was more junior high years and tended to fade away as you got older.  I really enjoyed school and school activities and overall most of the teachers were really good.  The rest of it was just part of growing up.

try checking out those websites where they trace high school classmates in the past. Also try Friendster, Hi5 MySpace, etc. They practically have everybody in there.
