My best learning experience was year 8 camp, because I learned a lot of things about others and some useful life skills (cough cough 🤣). I learned about how to use an alcohol fire thing, and that other people do and have a bunch of stuff I didn’t know about. Quite the experience.
The most enjoyable experience I have of year 8 would have to be being able to be in a small class of 4 for math, as it is very calm in there, and also rowdy at the same time. I felt that it was a very enjoyable experience.
I learnt the most about myself when I got an AMC award. I was invited to attend a workshop, and I went, but… yeah no I felt so stupid, it was overwhelming, you could feel the smart waves and vibes just emanating from everywhere. From this I learnt that there are always bigger fish, not that I didn’t know that already, but it put things into perspective.
If I could change one thing in year 8, I would spend more time studying and focusing on assignments, as there were a few assignments and tests where my results were under average, however I would not study too much, as I am a firm believer that life isn’t just studying, it’s also a lot about making connections and relationships with other people.
I think my biggest contribution to the school is my active contribution to the school’s symphony orchestra, as there are only two violas in the whole orchestra, and I am one of them, this makes me 50% of a whole section, which is quite the bold, but true, claim.
For any year 7’s going into year 8, I have a few pieces of advice for you.
- Year 8 doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of high school, but just because of this you shouldn’t not try.
- Your achievements and accomplishments don’t define you, don’t become subjective to believing that your lack or surplus of accomplishments defines your self-value. You are the only one that can determine that, not what you have done. So going into year 8, look up, and don’t worry about making mistakes.
