As a transfer student, I know firsthand that the beginning of Freshman year can bring jitters to many. If you’re like me like I was on my first day, freaking out over everything from teachers to friends, I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to, and one of the best ways you can forget about these nerves is by allowing yourself to get absorbed into our culture here at the high school. PHS is pretty far in its game when it comes to sports and clubs, and you can be sure there’s something here for even your quirkiest side, which is where you’ll find lots of peers just like you. You should know that you hold much power as a student and that you shouldn’t be afraid to reach out to people like the school staff to put your ideas out there. Whether it’s for something like starting your very own club or for wanting the company of someone trustworthy, you’ll always have the school officials on your side, and you should take advantage of that.
Now, let’s talk a bit about English 1, which is the first level of the Language Arts field here and the course you’re assigned to in your Freshman year. You will do a variety of activities and assignments that will put your reading and writing abilities to the test while exploring several literary categories, and you’ll start off by diving into poetry, in which you’ll be handed a copy of The Odyssey by Homer that should now be in your possession. You will read the text and analyze several elements of the epic that include characters, relationships and interactions, and themes. You may find yourself liking the exquisite wording and unique plot, or on the other hand, dreading them because it may be challenging for you. If, at any time, you find the book difficult to understand (which, believe me, we all have), don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to assist you in comprehending the meaning behind the lines, and if you do, you’ll find it’s faster to get accustomed to the story’s style with the extra aid.
Keep in mind that English 1 is your foundation for your future literary classes and it’s there to help you build stronger reading and writing skills as you advance, so it’s important to apprehend the material. So, if you find yourself struggling, I can’t stress this enough: please reach out to your peers and teachers. If you do and don’t find it helpful, talk to your counselor about finding a tutor here, because yes, there are ones that will you teach you for free in our school’s Idea Center. This applies to all your classes.
Also, be aware that there are other adults you can talk to and ask for aid besides your teachers and counselors, and that includes the librarians, social service workers (like Mrs. Keel), and even officials like the vice principals, which may sound intimidating at first, but trust me, if you want to say something, they’re all ears and won’t hesitate to improve your experience as a student here.
I hope you find this little letter helpful in getting to know more about PHS and your English 1 class! If you have any questions about the school or want to talk to someone about the experience here, feel free to email me at kdharmavarapu@princetonk12.org.
Good luck, and be sure to make the most of your time here!
Best wishes,
Kshirin
