Time to start
August 15, 2016 marked my first and last day of High school. I was excited, since the end of my junior year. I just wanted to start my senior year to get it over with. The first day of my senior year was boring the teachers were only talking about the rules something we all seniors know. Currently I am on pace to start my senior year I finished all my junior year classes. I Can’t imagine where I am at and how far I’ve come I was never a good kids growing up I wouldn’t care about school I was always behind. Some Things I’m nervous about is finishing all my classes on time. I have done it before so why not this year. I actually liked my schedule. My classes were English, Tutoring, teacher’s assistant, intro to art, Ag economics, office aide, and last was Ag farm operations. The classes I’m really excited about are intro to art because I would like to get better at drawing and Ag operations because next semester we are going to learn how to drive a forklift and a tractor after we finish the class we will get certified by our learning facilitator to be capable to function those machines. My goals for these first couples of months as a senior are to stay on pace and don’t fall behind. Other years that has been my problem I would fall behind because I would say “I’ll do later” and by the time I would do it either I was behind or too late to turn in. My overall school year goal is to finish school and walk with all my classmates. I am taking all my classes serious, I can’t afford to fall behind and not graduate because I am the oldest and I want to set an example for my siblings. My parents have always wanted the best for me and my brothers since they are migrant workers working in the fields such as the orange, grapes, olives etc. I’ve worked in all these jobs since I was 13 year old. Every time I would come home I just wanted to sleep. Something I am scared of and not so good at is writing. That’s probably the only subject I am not so good at. I am scared because seniors from the years before have told me you do a lot of writing your senior year. But like my English teacher said “it’s about finishing”
the end is almost here
These first months of school have gone by really fast. It seems like its Monday today and Friday tomorrow. But overall it has been a pretty easy year, I don’t have hard classes I only have 4 classes that I do work and the other 3 are office aid or teacher's aide. Usually I do work in my free periods because sometimes the teachers don't have anything for me to do. I am going to try to do my senior exit interview early like that I won't have to worry about it next semester, because next semester I am going to take government and that’s going to take one of my free periods away. I think I will make it because it isn’t hard it's just doing a lot of writing and talking about myself. After high school I am not going to a university I am going to attend a community college. I already submitted an application for next fall of 2017. I'm sticking with what I did my job shadow on. law enforcement is something I have always been interested in since I was a little kid I would say I wanted to be a cop even though my parents would scare me saying a cop was going to come for me if I didn’t behave. My plans after high are to attend a community college and work a part time job in a store not a fast food restaurant. I would like to have a part time job at a grocery store or at an auto parts store. It wouldn’t matter where not too far away from Lindsay. I am excited to graduate and be done with high school after 13 years of school finally I can say I am done with school.
The real ending is coming
I was not going to do my exit interview early, but my girlfriend convinced me to at least try it either way if I didn’t have all my things done by the due date it would still be beneficial for me since I was still going to have to do it. As I started doing my journals, essays things for my website it felt easy I finished my entire website in a week. I am honestly nervous not of sharing what I did during my high school years but of talking out loud to people I do not know. Also I am not so good at speaking in public but what I am going to do is sign up for a practice interview in school to practice speaking in front of people I am not familiar with but I am up for the challenge since we have to pass our senior exit interview in order to graduate. The hardest thing I have done in school was math I took a year and half in algebra what was my whole freshman year and a semester of my sophomore year. Then the second semester of my sophomore year I started geometry I finished it until the end of my junior year I also took a year and half. This took me five semesters to finish what I should have finished in two semesters. I really feel proud of myself to have made it this far I could have never imagine myself make it to senior year and be so close to graduate. Entering my last semester of high school makes me feel scared and exited in a way. Scared because I am so close to graduate and become a college independent student. I am Excited because after fourteen years of school finally I have a choice to go to school or to not go. My first semester of my senior felt easy but I somewhat fell behind in my classes because I left to Mexico for a month and I came back the last week of the semester was going to be over. But got caught up right away in my free period, I knew I wouldn’t fall behind since I could do work in those periods
