Differences and similarities between Middle and High School I went to a public Middle School, so there are some differences compared to High School, for example: in Middle School, laboratory instruments were old, some teachers didn’t teach, and it was smaller. When I entered High School, I decided to look up positive things, and it was easy to get used to newer laboratory instruments and many game courts, so I got back into my interest in school. I was used to smaller facilities so, in High School, I got lost easily looking for my classroom. My classmates know each other since Elementary School, but I am used to meeting new people, so it wasn’t hard to socialize. There are some similarities too, for example: I was used to staying late in Middle School, and in High School I can take extra classes or workshops if I want to. At both of them students are used to being under pressure from many classes. I ended up getting used to this school, I think it took me about 4 months, when I finally came across volleyball, besides, meeting people with common interests cheered me up too. I am totally used to the school now.
