The first steps towards the end
My senior year so far is pretty exhausting I have a lot of work to do with a limited amount of time. I’m still adjusting to the fact that this is the last year I will be attending LHS. I find myself in a hard situation where I have to finish last year classes and staying on pace. I’m not on pace to graduate due to the fact that I still have to finish Geometry, Biology, Art and English 11. For my senior project I’m working on my journals and and my Autobiographical Narrative. I think it’s exciting to be able to write about my life experiences. My senior year is a whole lot different than last year.
This year has been different than last year we have a new schedule, principal and teachers. The new schedule change is something I had to adjust to, I think it was a good idea I have more time to work in class. Having a new principal will be a difficult thing to adjust to, since she might do things a whole other way that might not be beneficial to us seniors. I strongly believe that seniors should not have new teachers and that this is their first time in our school system. Being a senior is difficult because we only have two semesters to get our stuff together and having new teachers that have no idea what they are doing can be very hard on us. My geometry and spanish teacher have no lesson plan. It’s frustrating not going the work I need when I need it.
I’m not on pace to graduate due to the fact that I haven’t finished Geometry, Biology, English 11, and Art. I’m currently in a tech Basic class because in Tulare that wasn’t a requirement and that’s just taken up my time to finish other classes.For geometry I just need MT 5-MT8. I’m currently taking Biology because my sophomore year I took it at the ag farm which I think is a way harder. I didn’t try as hard as I should have so I didn’t finish english 11. I just need a few more things and I will be done. I feel stressed out because I need to finish classes while I try to stay on pace. I plan to finish those classes as soon as possible I need to start doing extra work at home.
My goal is to graduate and walk with the class of 2016. I also want to attend more school games and have a great time with my friends this year. I’d like to encourage my friends to graduate, I want to see them have a better future. We could hangout and do Homework together so we could help each other out. If I know something that they don’t I will do my best to help them on that subject and I don’t know something they do they can help me. My senior year I want to gain knowledge and accomplish my goal along with my friends. I’m ready to make this year count.

A Bumpy Road
This semester has been tough on me having to catch up and getting new assignments. Senior year is exactly what I thought it would be full of stress and anxiety. It's all overwhelming to take in that I am a senior and this is my last year. I have to try my best to get all my work done to make my parents proud. I want to graduate but I don’t know if that's even possible, knowing how bad my grades are.
My classes this semester are a work in progress. I’m doing good in my art class I just need one art project and I'll be on pace. In Economics I’m not doing so well I honestly struggle with this subject a lot. This also goes for English which I am starting to fall behind in because I’m taking time away from it to do other work. I was a little behind on Spanish one but I started doing the book work at home and at school I began doing the level threes here so now I am on pace. In Geometry I’m actually doing really well in I’m doing my best and I just need a few things to finish this class. I’m doing really well in tech basic it was a little hard to firs to type fast but I’m doing good now. I like biology and I’m doing really good in it I am on pace so far and now I’m trying to get ahead of pace.
It's been really hard staying on pace and just simply keeping on. As a senior having to finish classes from freshman, sophomore and junior year while trying to do senior classes. I also need to do night school which covers for the unfinished elective credits. I have to complete four night school courses in order to graduate. I’m almost done with one called,”Careers Essential” it’s easy, but I just don’t have the time to do all four. I stay after school to do it until five thirty. My family is really supportive on trying to get me to graduate. I fear that I will disappoint my parents and that motivates me to get my work done and finish strong. I want them to be proud of me even if I don’t graduate on time I do plan on finishing school. I plan to attend another year if I have to.
This semester has been tough and I know with my family's support and my determination to finish i will get this done. It’s going to take a lot of time and dedication to succeed in my goals. I’m staying after school to do night school. For PLT time I get my work done for classes I need. If I finish two of my classes I will get a free period called workshop to work on classes I need or work on night school. I’m trying so hard I really want to finish so I can go to college and have a better future.
Approaching the end
My winter break was spent in a room doing work for classes that I was behind pace in. I stayed at my aunt’s house in Tulare so I could use wifi to catch up on work. I actually passed some classes since I did work for them.I spent most the time with my family in Tulare. I spent most the time with my family in Tulare.
Honestly I didn’t like anything about first semester. I found it to be very stressful. It was hard keeping up with three of my classes. The reality of last semester hit me hard. Having to focus on some classes and taking time away from other classes affected my grades. I didn't focus on english and economics as much as I should have. I passed my art class and now I have Workshop where I work on Night school or classes I need to do work on. Thanks to this class I have a lot of work done so far. For second period I have Government now, it's not hard but I don’t really have time to do the work I didn’t finish in class at home since I don’t have wifi. Well I have been going to my cousins house to get work done as well. My English class is still a work in progress I’m trying to put more focus into it and get caught up.
I’m ahead of pace in Spanish one and that gives me time to work on other classes. I completed Geometry and now I have workshop and that's another advantage to get work done. Instead of tech basic I have health now it’s a really easy class I’m not stressing over it. I’m still on pace on in biology and I’m trying to get ahead of pace. I’m trying to finish all of my classes and the best thing to do is take away a workshop class so I can finish economics. I finished career essential for night school and now I just need the course exam. I need to finish humanities one and two for night school and I’m done with it.I need a lot things to finish before graduation.
I still need to do a job shadow but I’m still not sure on what I should do it about. If someone asked me freshman year what was my dream job I would have chosen to be a Preschool Teacher but now I’m uncertain of what I want to pursue. I need to do the job shadow so I can put it in my Exit Interview which I have on April 5th. I also finish my weebly page and check for spelling errors and make sure that is looks good. I want to graduate to make my family proud and I want to accomplish my goal. I know right now I dislike school and don’t like it when my family put too much pressure on me to graduate but I know in the long run knowing I finished and accomplished my goal will be the best feeling in the world. Senior year is tough but it’s coming to end.
The End of the Journey
I’m one hundred percent nervous for graduation. I have been trying so hard to stay on pace to graduate. I have been working on school work from five in the morning to eleven in the night. I still have to pass Economics which I failed and I fixed my schedule so I could take it again for seventh period. It’s a lot easier and I’m hopeful that I can finish it soon. My English class is also a work in progress. I have a lot of things to get done. I still need to get my job shadow, life map, and exit interview papers done. I just need to stay on pace in government so I can get credits. I have to get two of my night school classes done. These things add a lot of pressure on me. I am trying so hard and I hope I can graduate.
I’m planning to come to school for spring break to work on night school and hopefully I can work on other things. I also plan to work with my aunt in Tulare and I’ll be doing school work as well. If I don’t go to Tulare I might just go to my cousins house so I can get work done online. I have written on a piece of paper all the things I need to get done in order to graduate and it feels great when I see that I completed a course. I am almost done with Biology and Spanish. I’m not worried about health it’s a very easy class and I’m on pace for it. I stay after school to get work done and that is actually helping me a lot. I plan to do my job shadow next so I can get that out of the way.
I’m looking forward to what happens next in my life. I’m not sure if the next step is going to college or getting a job if i don’t graduate. I’m not sure of what I’m doing but I have a plan just in case. If I graduate I plan to grad night I want to spend time with friends and enjoy or last time as a senior. I also plan to go to prom I want to enjoy those special moments with friends because I want to look back at good memories. No matter where life takes me I’ll always see the positive part of things. I’m looking forward to being happy on my last days as a senior and also I’m gonna be a little sad because the memories we made at LHS will never happen again.
I’m really grateful for all the support my family has given me. I know I don’t deserve their support due to the fact that I wasn’t very focused about school my sophomore and junior year. I know now that I did wrong because now I’m struggling to catch up and be on pace. Things wouldn’t have been so stressful for me if I would have put more effort. I know that my parents want to see me graduate and I don’t want to let them down. I’m very determined to succeed so they can watch me from the stands and cheer me on. I’m maturing and now I know how important this is for me and I want to graduate so I can go to college so I can have a better future than my parents.
