highschool(long, but i need help)
OK, this August I am starting highschool. I am in the honors program, and all my life i have gone to a Catholic school. It was a very comfortable environment. I knew everybody and was liked by everybody, and I did my work very easily. I didnt really have to work that hard at all. I loved the school I went to, the teachers were great and I learned a lot. But it makes it that much harder to go into highschool. I am going to a catholic high school too. I get stressed easily. How will I get used to the hard work, and the homework? My older sister is in that school, and she is SOOOOO smart. I feel like i have to be as good as her. How will i handle the work? I NEED HELP

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Talk to your sister about what the school is like. Im sure she felt the same way before she went. She would be the best person to ask. Hope I helped. Good luck!

omgosh!! i have like the exact same life! cept im not in honors...i was one percentile away. but anyway, i bet its because you got recommendations from the grade school teachers that you could handle it. i have heard that theres tonss of homework but im sure that it was made to challenge you and teach you to use your time wisely. dont compare yourself to your sister... everyone is different and it happens in every family. oh and about the program, if you notice that you just cannot live another day with those classes, ask to be moved down to a normal level. hope it all works out for you! <3

If you're in the honors program, then they obviously think you're intelligent enough to handle it. The workload will seem a little much at first, but that's just because of the transition from Middle School to high school. You'll get used to it soon enough. It'll take a while for you to settle in to high school as well in general. But it gives you a chance to have a whole new fresh start and make many new friends.
Just make sure you balance work time with leisure time. Don't think you need to give away any of your life just because you feel you need to work hard. Don't allow yourself to get too stressed out by the work - work in a nice, comfortable atmosphere. Put your favourite CD on and light some candles. The sooner your work is done, the sooner you can go and have fun.
It'll be scary at first and may seem overbearing, but in a few months you'll be so used to it you won't even notice there's more work or it's a little more difficult.
All the best. =)

Well, I can't speak for a Catholic High School. But when I went from Jr. High into high school, I thought the exact same thing. That everythign was going to be more difficult, and that I was going to be uncomfortable. But that's not the case, slowly you get use to it, and if you have your priorites in order things will work out really well for you. And you'll probably end up liking it a lot more than your old school. For the friends thing just be willing to make new ones. Teachers are going to be a little more difficult but not as bad as some people say. Just stay focused on what you need to do, because if you get too caught up in the social part of it, sometimes it can cause your grades to slip.

Hey, I'm in the same situation! (Minus the big sister) I went to Catholic school until 2nd grade and then was homeschooled until now.
You're just really going to have to stay focused and dedicated to the work! I know it's gonna boring at times (I'M not exactly looking foward to homework!) but otherwise focus on your goal. Usually because the private schools are smaller you get more attention than in a public school and colleges certainly notice. Every one of the 40 graduating students from the highschool I'm going to have been accepted by good colleges!
I'd like to know more about your situation, drop one in my inbox and i'll be sure to try and help!!
