Becoming a freshman in high school seemed to be the best thing that happened to me throughout all of my school years. Becoming a freshman meant I got more privileges, freedom, and better options in classes. While this is all true, now that I am a senior I see things from a different view. During my senior year, a lot of things are different from when I was a freshman.
             One thing I think that has changed the most from when I was a freshman is that I get more respect now that I am older. Walking down the halls it seems like some kids are just so small, and they look at me like I'm some big guy that will beat them up if they don't move out of my way. The younger kids talk to me with more respect, and seem to be really nice to me. I don't only get respect from peers that go to school with me, also with older people as well. Once you get to talking to them, and mention that you are a senior, they seem to think you aren't such a punk kid anymore. They ask questions like, "when do you graduate?" and "what your plans are after you graduate?". It just seems like they honor you for getting that far along in school.
             Now when I was a freshman, things were different. The seniors seemed so big, and they could just push you around. They could do whatever they wanted, and I just tried to leave them alone. Adults would see me, and think I'm just a kid who is going to go out and cause some sort of trouble. They never have the kind of questions they do now, because you still have four more years to go. And most of all, the teachers don't treat you quit as well as they do when you are a senior. They know your time will come, so you can have those privileges when you get older.
             Then next thing I noticed was the amount of work I have to do. Now that I am a senior, I don't have the same amount of homework to do as I did when I was a freshman. I'm not saying
