Graduation is around the corner and it has me feeling really nervous, But being the first to graduate will be worth all the stressful days. I feel a lot of pressure with the time passing so fast. I know I have all the support from my family and friends. Being the first and only to graduate high school has my feelings all mixed up. First of all i’m really scared to leave high school because i’ve been so used to being with the teachers. They have truly help me a lot this past years, Have never gave up on me. So far I have been applying to even more places now. For example I applied to starbucks and burger king but they haven't called up. So I applied to a stored named rue 21 in porterville i’m hoping for them to call back on me soon. I have been working on the fields during the weekends to save up some money for a car. Yeah i’m still working on that but i’ve been really busy this year already. I still think that having a car to take me places would make my life much easier for me. I need more money, that's why I'm going to work at the grape this year again. I went last year and it got me a lot of money. Enough money to buy me what I needed for the school year and saved up some for my car. I’m not looking for a new car I am looking for a used car that’s not to mess up but runs pretty good for me. What I still need is to finish CNA class, English, Spanish, and Econ. I don’t need that much for English just a couple of pressys. For CNA I don’t need work I just need the class to end so I will get my 10 credits, which I am very happy about because I need credits. Spanish in the other hand is pretty easy for me. It’s my language and I have been lazy to do the work. That will all change though because I have began to do my work. I realize how bad I was slacking and getting far behind paise. I wouldn’t do nothing at the beginning of this year. Freshman year was pretty much the worst year I had. The reason I got so far behind was because I would just mess around the whole time. All years I mess up but now that I have started to do my work is like a really big weight off my back makes me feel better. Looking back at senior year i’m really going to miss the teachers especially miss Mc Elmoyl she really inspired me. Probably one of the smartest teachers i’ve ever met. I am really going to miss high school because it feels like I have been here forever.I hope there's good things out there for me in the future.
My winter break was alright I didn’t do anything special. All I did was go to work to try to get some money for a car. It’s been a while now that I been trying to save up for a car. Maybe after High School I would try to buy a car because at the moment I don’t need it as much. My winter break also helped me catch up on some of my classes for example, Spanish class. I didn’t have struggled with the language I just wouldn’t do any of the work that was giving to me. On my point of view I was just being lazy. Another class I was working on was English on the senior project. Lately I haven been getting behind in this class I just don’t have time as I use to anymore. Reflecting on my last semester the thing I like the most is that I have improved my attention in class in a a lot of ways. First of I have started to pay more attention in class. Also I have finished work on time or the due date. I know by the time that it gets closer to my graduation I will be almost done with all my classes now that I have improved my behavior. I should really be working on my physiology class because I wouldn’t want to get behind paise in it. Physiology is one of my favorite classes I have this year because is the study of the brain and that really interests me. College applications are going pretty good, so far I have applied to COS College Of Sequoia. I think that college is pretty good for me. I have also applied to PC, Porterville College. So far i'm more interested in COS I just have a feeling i’ll end up there. If for any reason i don’t go to College Of Sequoias, there's always Porterville College. I am still very interested in becoming a RN, Registered Nurse. They have a lot of advantages. Reality really has hit me. So far finding a job has been really hard. I have applied to certain places but I never get a call back. I have applied to McDonald's and dollar tree, and so far I haven't got a call from any of them. I think right after high school I will start working at the grape to get some money. I worked at the grape last year and the money was very useful for me and my family. So I will start working at the grape right after high school to get money first and then get a car.After buying a car it will make things easier I would be able to get around quicker. I could also take myself to college so I wouldn't need someone to take me. That money that I make in the grape will also be helping me pay for my college classes. It would even help me with moving out closer to my college.Since my last journal entry,nothing has quite change. My classes have been a little hard trying to catch up and get everything done for senior year. I'm not taking senior year as serious as i should be. I’m hoping to be finished with all my classes by the end of the semester. Lately i have been working on finishing biology on my own time. By doing biology on my own gives me time to work on other classes that I need for example history. I just finished history which makes it one more step for me to be done. Econ is not going as good as I thought it would be,I have been staying after school to do extra work to get caught up. English is another class I am behind in as well. At the moment I have been working on the senior project at home so it won't get in my way. I stay after school a lot now, I study or review some of the work i have so I won't be getting off paise in all of my classes. My last journal entry was difficult to write for me because I didn’t realize how behind i was until I began to write about it. I still don’t take my senior year as serious i should be, But atleast I have been trying not to fall back more behind. I am really looking forward what the future holds for me and how it will treat me. I am hoping to finish most of my requirements first semester so I won’t have to worry about it once it gets closer to my graduation. Also before this semester ends I would like to catch up on my work for Econ. Even though is just one semester long I still managed to struggle. The class that is getting my attention a lot the past days is CNA, which stands for Certified Nursing Assistant. . This is a class that I have been taking after school two times a week. I am planning to take that class for second semester as well. After that course finishes up I will have to take a nursing test that will allow me to get a job right when I graduate from high school. That way I will have a choice if I would like to keep on working as a nurse or I could consider going to college and get my bachelor's. At the moment I am having problems with my senior project. I really don’t have a lot of time to be on my computer working on it. I hope for the future to make a little more time because I would want to get the senior project out of the way. It would help me out a lot for me to finish the project by the end of this semester so I could have more time to work on other stuff I really need and get it together.
Senior year our last year… Senior year has been a little hard for me so far. I remember the first year of high school back when I was a freshman I thought to myself, maybe high school wouldn’t be so hard. As the time quickly went by I started to fall back. I didn’t take it serious I would mess around a lot and didn’t know all the trouble i was going to be in at senior year. 10th grade when I began to notice that all my classes were at a lower grade i started to get scared. I didn’t think i would get far behind that fast. Still with that doubt I acted like everything was going to be ok for me. I never really would do any homework or stayed after school to get caught up on my classes. Soon as a blink of an eye I was a Jr. still behind pace. When my first grades came in and I saw my behind pace classes I knew i had to make a change. I began to stay after school more often to get papers done. I would ask my teachers for more help and to give me extra homework. Everyday after school i would get home doing even more work. I was stress because I felt like I wasn’t doing everything right. I know I was doing good job because my grades kept going up, I was finally passing some of my classes. Faster than I thought it would be I was a senior. So far it's been a little hard, I still need two classes to pass from last year. I’m trying my best to finish them by this semester so i’ll be caught up. My career path way is nursery and it could be stuff at times but I know I could get it done by this year. Currently im working on psychology and an after school class for the lindsay gardens where i’ll be finishing up my last class for the pathway. I'm looking forward to finishing up senior year and being able to graduate in time. Also i would like to have fun in my last year by going to prom and making it the best senior year I could have. Rallies are really fun as well it makes me remember all the years i’ve been here. Graduating would be a honor for me because I would be the first one in my family to graduate and have an education. My plans after high school would be to become a registered nurse or a pediatrician to help nursing kids and babies. If i ever consider changing my decision I would consider becoming a correction officer. I find that being a correction officer makes a good salary. So graduating high school it's a great start for me .That’s how my senior and plans have been so far in high school. I hope for better and more memorable things to happen in the future for me.
