High school is often written off; it's Hell, it's a time to goof off, it's not until college that the thinking starts. The only stereotype that I can firmly agree with is that the person you are at the beginning of high school is not the same as the person at the end.
I started ninth grade ridiculously shy, too afriad to talk to people sitting next to mein class. i remember walking through the halls o the first day of school and feeling the POW of the sheer magnitude of character roaming the halls. high school was literally a blanket. it covered my face with other people more willing to take the spotlight. It drowned out my voice so I could sing in teh halls without being heard. And now, at the end, I'm outgoing and happy. The school became my spotlight, even though it really wasn't. At least I was in the spotlight of my own group, along with my friends. And it shows: for example, I cut my hair short, which is something I hated the idea of back in ninth grade.
Next fall I'll be a freshman again. We'll see if college brings the same trials.

Your blog is great, I gave it an award on my page check it out.http://stepintoadolescence.blogspot.com/2011/06/employed-life-of-ginger-mexican.html
The challenges are basically the same though different. That's my guess, anyway. In high school they hand things to you, in college... not so much (talk about independence). Otherwise, I totally agree. Who I am now is not who I was in 9th grade. Best of luck with college!
Different trials, I would say. I'm choosing to have faith in your strength.
