I am really nervous about graduation. The reason why is because everything is moving so fast and I feel like I falling more and more behind. Also I feel like there are a lot of people counting on me, and I don’t want to let them down. Oh and I already bought the class ring, tassel, gap and goul. So, I don’t want to look stupid with my graduation stuff, and not graduate. I think that all of these thought racing through my mind ready gets me really scared of what's to come. But I have my friends and family by my side, I know I’ll do fine.
The preparations I have taken to prepare for post-graduation have been registering for college. Also I have been staying after school to finish my classes. I don’t believe I have made a lot of preparations, However I have done what is necessary to get into a collage. Also I have almost every to graduate. But sadly, I still need thing to finish a couple of things. For example I going to do my job shadow this weekend and I think I need a couple more hours for my commute hours. I think what I need most to prepare for college is to study and work hard.
I still need to finish a lot of things, like my job shadow, commute hours, and all of my classes. I believe keeping with my classes might be the hardest, since I have at least one class that I fall short in. For my commute hours I’m getting most of them done by working with the church. Last, but not least is my job shadow, which should be done by this weekend. I believe this is all I need, however there’s always something that needs to be done. So I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Throughout the chaos that is high school and being a senior, I think I look forward to most is grad-night. Because I want to share one last hang out with all my friends. Also we have a whole day at disneyland without our parents. My friends and I would prefer six flags, but pickers can’t be choosers. I also look forward to walking with everyone, however I think grad-night would be a lot more fun. But walking is a really close second that I’m looking forward to. I really look forward to both these events, but to graduate first. So I need to work hard now and I get to play later.
Looking back at my years in Lindsay High School, I think I am grateful for all the friends I make in there. I’m also grateful for all the teachers that helped me when I struggled. I think my friends and teachers are the one that have helped me the most during my senior year. My family has also played a big part, but they can’t always be by my side during school. I think what I most happy about is having to spend so much with my friends. I hope we can all have some more time to hang out with each other, however all of us have been busy. But we will always have grad-night. I’ll cherish all the time I have spent with everyone in Lindsay High School.

My winter break was great, thanks for asking, But serious my break was great I went to Rialto to visit my dad. It was fun, because I got to see my brothers and all my cousins. I don’t really get to see them that often. so it’s nice to spent time with them. Even though My brothers and I only play video games with each other. I spent Christmas and New Year's there, I also stuffed my face with food and stayed up playing games and singing songs it was amazing all the things I did. The only thing I regret is not doing as much work as I wanted to do. which means I didn’t do any. But in my defense I left my backpack at lindsay by accident.
Looking back on my first semester, I think I love how I kinda on my own now. Because now that My sister isn’t with me I feel like I can make my own chooses. Now don’t get me wrong I like my sister and all, but she isn’t the best role model (just saying). Another thing I notice while I was looking back on my first semester is reality has hit me. I’ve realize that half of my senior year is over. It’s kinda crazy how fast things are going, but there is still time to finish what I need and do the thing I want to do. All and all I’ll still make the most of the time I have left at Lindsay high school.
The things I need to accomplish before graduation are the job shadow, which I will be done with pretty soon. The exit interview, my commitee hours, and my class. Of course all of this is obvious, but I can finish these assignments on time. I have enough commitee hours, but i didn’t get them signed. Still I can get them done in no time, since I work at the church so much. Also the exit interview I not as worried cuz my friends keep telling me how it’s really easy. My classes on the other hand I think I really need to focus on, or I’ll get a repeat of last year. I really don’t want that to happen.
Last but not least I have my college applications done. Well, one of them, I only applied to COS. I know it sounds bad, but this is the school I wanted to go to. However I should've applied to other colleges and universities. But I really have a good feeling that I we like COS and maybe attending it next year. On the topic of the job, I would like to work for maybe a restaurant for awhile. Maybe even doing outside work. I don't really know, but I’m not really picky, so any part-time job will do for me. I just hope it’s close to home or close to the college I’m going to. Hey maybe I help out COS and work there. That seems nice.

Since my last journal entry not much has changed. I feel like I still have habit of my old ways. I have been doing better, However I’m still falling a little short. I believe the skill I need to focus on the most is not to procrastinate. Even so I believe I will be able to accomplish my assignments before the end of the semester. I just need to keep focus and do my work. The class I have trouble with is Econ which is weird, Because I was doing so well on the first MT. I guess I got over confident and missed a few assignments. But the good news is Trager, my Econ teacher, will be able to stay after school. Now that football season is over.
Everything on the senior project is going good. Besides my job shadow, I did it last year, however I wasn’t able to find it in my folder. I don’t have to do it all over again “Techally”. Mr. Britten said I would be able to call the man I job shadowed and ask him the questions on the phone. which I guess is the same thing, but I’ll just do it again still the job shadow isn’t that bad. I actually look forward to it. the senior project that I enjoyed most was the life map, but that's because there was drawing involved. I also look forward to the exit Interview because I want to see if I’m able make one of the teachers laugh. I believe it will be fun when I get to it.
So far my senior year has been going well. I really have been enjoying the time spent with my friends. Even though my senior year I know I have to be serious about my work. However I still want to spend as much time with my friends as possible. But don’t worry school will always come first. unless there’s video games and food involved (just kidding). The steps I have taken to get ready for college was first looking and considering which college I would like to attend. I know where I want to go, however I still would like to know my options. I also have a lot of support with getting ready for graduation.
Over all I think everything is going smoothly. I have my friends and family to count on, if I ever need them. Also the thing that have changed my senior year I choose to embrace them and have fun with it. However the most fun I have during my senior is spending time with my friends. I know though out this journals I been talking about my friends and how I want to have fun with them.But that because they're special to me and I want to remember the good times we had. On another note I like to say that I will be able to conquer obstacles in my way, if I put my mind to it. So I’m not worried about my class and if I’m going to pass them, because I know I can do it.

When I started my first year of high school I lived in Rialto california. But I wasn’t that scared, because I had my sister by my side. I was attending Carter high school for my freshman year. I was excited because many of my friends from middle school were also go to Carter. I would have to take the bus to and from school. However this wasn’t the school bus, but the city bus. This bus cost money and didn’t stop unless you pressed a button. But I didn’t know where my stop was or where the button was. Luckily other students were on the bus and knew what they were doing. So My sister I stopped at the right spot. Now if I remember correctly I had algebra 1, earth science, history, english, pe, history of rock n roll, and animation. this was the first time I had seven classes and I had all of them everyday. However we had short days and have backward days. backward days were on tuesday and thursday, backward days start with 7th period and ends with first. It was confessing at first but I got the hang of it. Also when I got closer to the end of the year I made a system. This made My classes fun and was able to be organized with what friends I could hang out with at that time. I was happy with my classes and couldn’t wait until next year. However things don’t always go as planned. Many things were going with my family, so my Dad decided to send my sister and I to Lindsay with my grandpa.
I would be able to see him during the summer. But I would live and go to school in lindsay as a sophomore. I thought this was the worst thing ever because I left all my friends and the school I learned to love. Yet there more trouble for me, everything was different in lindsay. For example the grading system was done by numbers and all classes weren’t in a day, but separate. Not only was the school different but as well as the town. So was I started school it felt weird and not right. I got detention a lot, however that was because of my P.E clothes. Even though I got in trouble in P.E, It was my favorite class. I made many friend in that class and in others, but not just any friends, good ones that I hang out with today. Now that I was good with the school and having friends. My classes were another hand were not, now I believe I had biology, geometry, english, Pe, intro art, exploratory, and world history. In some of these classes I was falling behind. But the worst was biology. I had to go to summer school in order to finish biology, History, and english. I was able to finish history and english, However I had to finish biology as a 8th period in my junior year. On the other hand it took like a day or two to finish. In my junior I thought it was gonna be great, I had algebra 2, english, U.S history, wood 1, beginning guitar, choir, and spanish 1. I was able to have a good year and was able to finish all my classes except english. Also they didn’t have summer school for english. So I learned no matter how easy you think it is or how much time you have, you shouldn’t waste your time and just finish what you need on time. So Now I am a senior in lindsay high school and I am determined to finish my class. I believe that I learned my mistake from my three year in high and can improve myself on my last one. So I will alway attempt to achieve level 4’s and attempt to finish my assignments before they’re do.
