The Last Chapter
Today is my second day of high school, and honestly there's some mixed emotions going on in my head. I feel excited because it's my last year of high school. I still remember my first day of my freshmen year, wishing school was over and that high school would go by quick. Now that I’m a senior I wish high school would have gone slower so I could have enjoyed it more. It’s crazy how time flies, how people change over the years, one day you’re here another day is never guaranteed. Really excited for what this year has in it for me. Many memories and good times is what I’m striving for this year.
So far according to my counselors and teachers I am where I'm supposed to be academically. My counselors are still switching up my schedule and it’s already the fourth day of school! There's a few classes I feel are going to be a challenge for me because of the amount of work that is required. For example, Chemistry is an interesting class but the amount of work that is required to finish the class is a lot. I can’t wait to do labs and learn about chemicals. Another class that seems like a lot of work is economics, I’m happy my teacher is Mr. Traeger; I had him last year so it makes it easier for me to understand the way he runs his class . The class I think I’m going to enjoy the most is Ag farm operations. One reason I enjoy that class is because at the end of the course I can get a certified certificate to drive a forklift. By having this certificate, it opens some doors to get a job in a new field. This brings me one step closer to the “real world” of adulthood.
There are a few things I'm looking forward to in my senior year? Well most importantly I’m looking forward to is graduation. I’m really looking forward to making my parents proud of me. It will be an honor to be the first son of the family to graduate. To be honest the best feeling in the world for me is making my family proud It gives my sister and my Little brother a good example to follow. As the big brother I need to guide them through the right path. Another thing I’m looking forward to this year is finally sitting on the senior side while attending the rally's. I’ve haven't participated in any rally activities in all the three years I've been in this school. This year is going to be completely different I’m going to try my best to get involved in rallies and be the loudest class. I’ve set some goals for myself to make my senior year the best year. Getting involved in school activities, not procrastinate and being an overall good person and student. These goals should be able to help me stay focused on the grand prize which is graduation.
One Step At a Time
Senior year has been busy with plenty of work and most importantly due dates. The time is now, the decisions I make now will sooner or later have an affect on my future. I can’t slack- off on any of my classes because once I start falling behind it’s harder to get on pace. I’m 6 out of 7 classes on pace at the moment. The only class I'm not on pace is Economics, I knew since the beginning of this school year it was going to be hard. One way to solve this is by staying after school for extra help. About a month ago, I applied to three colleges including Fresno State. Once I finished my first application reality hit me, I was actually doing it trying to be someone in life. I have a handful of pressure and motivation that drives me to go to college. I’m the oldest in the family, so I have to set a good example to my little brother and sister. I feel excited to be almost half ways done through my senior year. I am really excited to go college although I know it's going to be challenging. I have my fingers crossed so I can get into Fresno State, I really want to be a part of the bulldog family. I ain't really involved as much this school year, I'm only a part of a after school program called red zone. It's an after school program, that provides tutoring and after an hour they give you the option to play board games or keep on working. It has helped me out a lot because it gives me the opportunity to catch up in my classes. Still curious about what the rest of this school year has in for me.
2017
It is now January, and the first semester is almost over. This means half the of the year is almost over. The only class I’m not passing is economics, it is only a one semester class,I am forced to pass it within a week from now. The classes I'm struggling with is economics and chemistry. Chemistry is a fun class but it is really challenging, even though the labs are exiting. I just have to stay on a good mind set and not let anything get in the way of completing the courses. I haven't enjoyed any school activities so far but I'm really looking forward for Grad Night. Something I'm looking forward is Christmas and New Years. I really enjoy Christmas because the cooking my grandma and my mother make. New year's is going to be the best because 2017 is the year I graduate and the year I turn 18.
