2．On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh-grader where my class was．And he told me it was"on the fourth floor，next to the pool．"I found out five minutes later that we don't even have a fourth floor and there's no pool either!Besides that，I didn't have any trouble with the older kid．
I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load （工作量） and size of the school．I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn how to make full use of time!Our class size is around 550，but joining in clubs，sports，music，and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade．
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself，not just to get a good grade．There have been so many tests that I've prepared for the night before，gotten an A，and not remembered anything later．I've changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more．Don't take easy classes just to have a simple year．If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools，they're also around in high school．I have a lot of friends who promised they'd never drink or smoke，but are now partying every weekend．If you have"fun"and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will regret it when you're applying for （申请） college．The"friends"who say you're a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all．It's hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions，but don't follow their footsteps．Create your own path in life and make your own decisions．
