Senior Year #4
I am extremely nervous about graduation! Graduation is just around the block. Where has senior year gone, can senior year start all over again. If first semester of senior year went by fast then I don’t even want to imagine second semester. I just got accepted to Fresno State and I was extremely excited reading my acceptance letter. Unfortunately, Fresno State is my second college choice that I would attend and Monterey Bay will be my first choice. I have not hear anything back from CSUMB but I do know that my application is under review, according to my portal. There are many reasons why I would like to attend Monterey, a couple reasons will be because it will help me out financially since my uncle lives over there, and I love the area. On the other hand Fresno State is much closer to home which I like. Now that we are back, from winter break there should be no time to waste. I am really concern about a certain class. One class that I’m worrying about will be my physiology class. I really don’t know the reason why I’m concern about the class; I believe it is because it challenges me. I see no reason why it should be challenging, since science is one of my favorite topics. Learning about the human body is interesting and outstanding. It's amazing how the body knows how to cure itself, sends signs and many more. I am currently working on my last journal for my senior project! How revealing! and I am also working on my powerpoint for my senior exit interview. I am extremely nervous about meeting the panellist. I see no reason why I should be nervous, if only I know myself more than they do. I am looking forward to graduation and grad night. Those are the last and final two events that I am most looking forward too. Looking back to senior year several things that I’m most grateful for will be the learning facilitators for helping me out. Two teachers that I’d like to point out will be Mrs. Gonzales and Mrs, Lopez. However, Mrs. Lopez doesn't teach on campus anymore but she’s still around campus. I still have contact with her. Mrs. Gonzales has helped me with college applications and soon she will be helping me out with scholarships. I want to take the moment and thank her for taking her time to help out Lupita and I. The spring musical should have already held auditions. Which leads us on being really far behind. We have very little time for rehearsals and stage setting, but yet so much to do. With this being said we might need to move the musical date in the month of April instead of it being originally in early March. It’s kind of hard to convince people to try out for the spring musical. Since they aren't interested in acting. Or trying out something new. That’s how I started out, trying out something new. Who would've ever thought that I would enjoy this. I would really like for this production to continue, because being in this is a great experience. It can also be fun, only if you’re willing to have fun. It’s your choice. Half Way Through Senior Year Winter break was amazing. Although it went pretty fast I can say I still had a great time. My winter break wasn't just sitting down and doing anything. My goal was to finish all of my classes during this break and by the time we go to school during the last two weeks of the semester I can just study for any EOT’S that I will be taking. Doing homework wasn't a stressful task to do I actually enjoyed doing it since I was able to start and finish it whenever I wanted. Because during school days I tend to have shorter days and overwhelming weekends. On weekends I can’t actually enjoy my time with my family since I’m always doing homework, which leads to participating in any special events that they had planned. Other than that winter break was fun in many ways. I found myself not doing any homework for the last week of break since I had finish all what I needed to get done the first two weeks. I feel glad that I had set myself that goal. Because hearing all my friends stress out about homework that they have to get done has me thinking, that could've been me. But I’m glad I didn’t decided to procrastinate just like they did. So my last week of winter break was stress free. I spent my time in Mexico visiting my family not worrying about anything school wise. I remember my junior year saying that I only had three semesters left, next thing I know it I’m down to one more. The reality of my last semester has hit me. It’s crazy how I remember that not so long ago I was just a Freshmen. Time has flied by super fast. It has me questioning myself, is this how college is going to be? Or is it going to fly by faster, since it’s a different environment and different schooling. By the time I go back to school when winter break is over I will be needed to make sure I study and pass the EOT’S that I will be taking. College applications went well I am finished with all of them. I thank Mr. Gutierrez for all the help on completing my college applications, FAFSA, and scholarships. Im glad im getting my work done and finishing all my applications i needed to finish, thanks again Mr. Gutierrez Senior Year So Far Pacing is an important part on being a senior, but I find myself slacking off. Never once I’ve been marked behind pace and now I’m worrying about it. It seems to me that I have so much work to accomplish but in very little time. I find myself debating on what class homework to work on first. I believe this is now the start of my young adult life. I would like to say that I’m doing well in all my classes towards the end of the semester. However, I can’t say that. I would need to get back on pace and start focusing more on these specific class more than the others. I would also need to accomplish my goals before the end of the semester ends. By having two semesters down it’s pretty nerve racking since that means I need two more semesters to go. I am currently working on my college applications. Some college that I have in mind that I will be applying to will be Fresno State and Bakersfield. Fresno State is my first option because my sister goes to that school and she tells me that it is a really great school and also its not that far from where i live. I would like to attend Fresno state and major in criminology. Some difficulties that I’m having with my senior project are not knowing what to do. What exactly am I supposed to finish. I signed up for early completions in January, and I find myself clueless on what to do. After I asked for help from my learning facilitator I’m more than sure I will know what to do to complete my senior website on time. So far what I’m enjoying about my senior website is importing my journey here at lindsay high school. My plan after graduation is to attend college with my childhood best friend. We would both to be roommates for either one semester or one year on campus. At least to have some type of experience of living in the dorms and meeting new people. . I do feel supported in my preparation for post-graduation. My parents been helping me decide, by having that helps me look more out to the advantages and disadvantages. The Beginning of Senior Year I always knew that there was nothing to fear about senior year. It has been the second week of school and I’m already enjoying it so far. As a senior, I am extremely excited to see what this school year has to offer me. Looking back when I was just a freshmen I never really figured what it would feel and be like to be a senior; but yet here I am. It’s been a journey attending at Lindsay High School but it’s also exciting knowing it’s my last year; and when that time comes after I graduate my chapter will end, along with that all that I will have, will be memories. And there on my next chapter will begin. Pacing is perhaps the most important part of being a senior. I don’t ever recall myself falling behind in the past three years I’ve been here, yet I am hoping that this year will be the same as the others. I like my class schedule, but the only class that I’m worrying about this year is Economics. I am extremely excited for this new school year; I am most looking forward to Grad Night, homecoming, graduation and ALL the senior activities. I am so glad that I don’t have a job at this moment, or else I don’t know what would happen to me. I would like to thank Mrs. Gonzales for letting me im her physiology class, I can't wait to learn all about the human body. She is already one of my favorite teacher for my senior year because she is a great explainer and does her job right. My goals for this year is to be on pace 7 out of 7 all the time and get all senior requirements done. At this moment I’m not nervous on meeting the panellist and sharing my journey and my goals, but I know for a fact that when the day comes closer I will start getting nervous. Another goal i have this year is being the second one to graduate from high school. My sister was the first and i want to follow her steps and succeed in the future. I’m not just doing it for myself but I’m also doing it for my parents, so that they will be even more proud of what I’ve already accomplished. My third reason is to set an example for my younger brother. If I can do it, then they can do it. I do this because I would like for them to set their goals higher than what mine are. Anything is possible and anything can be accomplished, but first there has to be dedication and motivation on completing any goal. Coming for the second generation I want to change the way things are in my family. My parents did a wonderful job by showing me what’s right and wrong, guiding me to the right path. Now it’s my turn to show my parents what they showed me isn't a fail. I know it is possible to reach my goal, anything is possible; I just have to stick with my goal in order to accomplish it. My last goal that I have for myself this year is to job shadow someone that is working what i want to do in the future, a California High-way Patrol. I always wanted to become a CHP and be a part of the government. I want to fight for my town and help all in need. Senior year isn’t anything to fear about. Being on pace in all my classes might be the biggest part of being a senior but yet it will all be worth it at the end. I will continue to use my habits that I’ve created here in high school and uses them in college. But of course the habits that I’ve created will become stronger. I do plan on continuing being successful, I will overcome my weak spots by focusing more on them. Therefore, my plans on being successful will be rewarding. Junior Year #1 So far my junior year has been one of the most stressful years; it has also been so exciting. One of my biggest concerns that I’m worried about this year is passing geometry, the reason behind this is because i had geometry my sophomore year but didn't pass it because it was difficult for me. I really want to pass it this year for i cant have it my senior year. Hopefully i will finish geometry this year and move on to algebra 11 next year As I entered the school year as a junior, I was really worried about not passing geometry, but luckily a teacher named Mr. Dussan help me through all of it, he thought me so much and motivated me to do better. I want to thank Mr. Dussan for guiding me and teaching me the steps to get through Geometry, i finished extremely happy and ready for senior algebra 11. My goals for this year are to not fall behind, finish all classes on time or early and too really start thinking on putting more hard work. One challenge that I did this year was to give it my best shot in doing a level 4 for English. I am very proud of myself because I am not the type of person that likes to read books. I realized how interesting they can get, how touching they can be, and yet how mind blowing they can get. I’m glad that I’m challenging myself in a way that I DIDN'T enjoy doing because it’s a great experience and this is just the beginning; it will get more complex from here. Junior year so far has been very good, iv'e met new people this year and started to interact more and getting more involved with school. I believe that I’m doing well in school; I know I can do better than good but as long as I’m not doing poorly. I find junior year one of the most stressful years for me because at home I help out a lot and it interferes with my school work. I've had to give up playing sports this year because I felt i wouldn't have had time. As a junior its mind blowing to think about where all the years gone. Freshmen and sophomore years have gone by so quick and imagine junior year! It’s scary but also exciting knowing that my time is coming to face the real world after high school.
