Sophomore Paragraph

What does it mean to be a sophomore? Since this is my second year as a sophomore I have learned that being a sophomore means that you've made a step forward to the next level from when you used to be a freshman and are one step closer to your graduation day. Being a sophomore means that you get ready for the CAHSEE test. It means your gonna be taking some new easier and harder classes. It means your going to be meeting some new people that could turn out to be your best friend or your worst enemy. It's usually where you find some of your strenghts and faults. It means you have a year of experience. It means that now that your not the rookie of the school anymore most of the time teachers,parents,older peers,younger peers may expect more from you. when your a sophomore when you do something wrong and get in trouble usually your looked down on because some people believe that that type of thing is fresman year stuff and childish, also the way you act because if many people don't like the way you act as a sophomore your usually called immature and other things like that it's kinda unfortunate and sad when people say your not a immature freshman anymore start acting like a sophomore,I think it's kinda dumb to say because not all freshman are immature ive had friends freshman year that were more mature then most of this campus and on this campus i've seen mature freshman so you can't expect the same maturity and progress from everyone because everyone is different and has there own unique ways of learning and getting by. I mean just because you have a certain title that society has given you(freshman sophomore junior senior)doesn't mean you have to live up to it. live up to your own title that you feel works for you. If joking around alot but still doing your work and getting a passing grade in your class works for you then do it. If your the type that has to keep calm and doesn't believe in joking around because you work better when your quiet then do that. if you sometimes tap your pencil during a test because the rhythym helps you think you might want to do it quietly so only you can here but do it So in all i believe that what it means to be a sophomore is the same as asking what it means to be yourself.
