I Kai Being a sophomore has a reputation for not being all that bad. There don't seem to be any pressing decisions to be made. There are very little financial problems because parents are willing to foot the bill for parties, gas. movies and dates. But with so few demands placed on them, sophomores often feel exiguous. Sometimes there doesn't seem to be that much to do at this stage in a person's life. Especially if a sophomore and his friends aren't 16 or don't have access to a car. Without transportation they are left at home: nowhere. But sweet sixteen is just around a corner and first tastes of freedom not far beyond. And with new freedoms comes the problem of new and sometimes tougher consequences. Being neither an adult or a child poses problems but also provides advantages. The sophomore faces the luxury of the adult world (the car), but only suffers the sentence of living room court after doing something like running down small trees. Likewise in school, sophomores may be included in upper-class peer groups, but rarely skilled enough for extended varsity sports or other extra-curricular activities. Overall, the sophomore year is a time of giddy uncertainty while the second year high schoolers secretly find interests and form opinions that will last through most of their adult lives.

The Webster High School Dictionary defines the word freshman as being a newcomer to an occupation or activity, a student in the first year (as of high or college). To freshmen in high school it means sliding down the ladder of seniority from being once at top notch in eighth grade. A new beginning for freshmen can be complicated as they come to a new school, face new teachers that push them as far as they can go without getting a detention. There is a whole new atmosphere in high school, and new rules that are sometimes hard to abide by. As for classes they really don't get much of a choice since they have a full schedule of required classes on which to build an educational foundation. And though the amount of time a freshman has for extracurriculars seems limited and they find they can't participate in all sports and clubs; they still find that being a freshman isn't so bad. Coach E. has the freshmen boys.
