First Journal Entry
I am now a soon to be Sophomore, I can not believe how fast the year went by. This first High School year has been good to me. I have struggled a bit with certain classes. Such as math and science. It seems to be controversy that I want to be an Accountant yet struggle with mathematics. Some people do not know that Accounting isn't math, although it is numbers but it is not math. You can just use calculators to figure out balances. At the pace I am going I am at risk of having to appeal to be able to walk at graduation with my class. The reason why is because I got very sick so I started missing school days. My goals are the same, I still want to be an Accountant. It seems to be so logical to me. Although sometimes I do get a bit frustrated. I plan to go to a National University in San Diego, California. I am interested in that university because of where it is located. The location seems to be very tropical. I really need to prepare myself. I need to turn into a more independent person. What do I mean by that? I mean I need to stop depending on people to motivate me. I need to be my own motivation. This year has thought me not to procrastinate. Do the things even if I do not want to, it will pay off later. Be very punctual. Being punctual with due dates won't only give me a great life skills score but also prove that I am a really responsible person. I really hope my next few years left of High School to be the best. I want to be stress free while enjoying and participating in school activities. I really can not wait to see what the future brings my way!
Second Journal Entry
I am now a Sophomore, High School has been really good to me. I am currently still taking a freshman course such as physical science and algebra 1. My freshman year like I said i really did struggle a lot in those classes. Although I just need one measurement topic from earth science and five from algebra to be put back on pace again. As of right now based on my sophomore courses I am currently struggling in history but Mr. Benitez really does push me to better and focus and I highly appreciate it. I still plan on attending the university I stated on my previous journal entry. Obstacle is, I need to graduate on an university track for that i need to finish chemistry but yet I have not finished earth science. Also, I need to finish algebra 2 but i still have not finished algebra 1. So I am really going to need to make time for my education to be back on track. I have to learn to put my education as my priority. I still tend to major in Business Administration.My back up plan would have to be becoming a family therapist. I really hope the rest of my high school years go as smooth as my freshmen year. I really regret have slacked off that very first year. If i would of stayed on pace, I would of had less pressure on me. I won't let that repeat my Junior year!
Third Journal Entry
I am now a Junior, High school so far has really been stressing me. The courses I did not pass my Sophomore year was Biology. So this year I have been doing Biology. During the summer I went to Summer School to try and catch a bit. Indeed I did. Before the semester ends I will be done with Biology. I was an enrolled in an accounting course. At the beginning I was terrified yet very excited. So far I have been on pace, surprisingly. I still regret have slacked off my freshmen year. I just think to myself if i would of put a bit more effort i wouldn't be still taking sophomore courses. In my English, History, and Elective classes I have been pretty good. I joined a workshop internship. In that internship I was chosen to join an entrepreneur competition. During that process, there was so much pressure put on me. Due dates for business plans and power points were due in less that two weeks. Our first presentation, was very stressing. We received a lot of feedback all at once. All that feedback really did help us strength our next presentation. We overcame all those short period of time due dates by pressuring ourselves. I really want to finish all my Junior courses to start on pace my senior year.
Fourth Journal Entry
As of right now my senior year has not been as bad as I thought it would be. I am enjoying my senior year. It feels a bit strange being the eldest in the school. The courses I am recently taking are English 12, AP Spanish, Algebra 2, Chemistry, I believe I am on pace to graduate. Only course I still need in order to graduate is English 12. I am currently working on my senior website. In ten years I want to look at my page and feel proud of myself. The only thing I am looking for in my senior year is having a great time, making many unforgettable memories last but not least, graduate with honors. My goals for the future are graduating high school, getting my own place and heading out to college. I know that life is only going to get a little more complicated but I know nothing is impossible and I will overcome anything that interferes in my way of reaching my goals.
Fifth Journal Entry
I am a little nervous for my graduation day to arrive. It is an event I have been anxiously waiting for almost twelve years, So far I have been trying to stay on pace in all my classes. I still need to complete a lot of level fours to raise my GPA. I am most looking forward to get my own place and start being a little more independent. Although I am really afraid of all the responsibilities that come along with living on my own. Throughout my years attending Lindsay High School, there are so many unforgettable memories such as my freshmen year. My freshmen year I felt like I was in a whole another world. My sophmore and junior year I was a little more comfortable. Now, my senior year; being 18 really did throw me off. I now have my own job, own car, and really looking forward to getting my own place. The fact that I am not going straight to a university really did upset me. I am planning on going to COS for two years then transfer to UC San Diego.
