These 3 months passed by so quickly that I feel like it's almost the end of the first semester. Only one semester more and I will be officially done with high school. All the stress is starting to hit me; keeping up in my classes has began to be a struggle. Sometimes I just feel like it is too much work; but I know that at the end it will all be worth it. The important thing right now is to keep up with due dates. I am finally starting to feel the pressure to not fall behind.
They were many types of changes that happen on my last journal. I have been doing homework every day at my house to make sure I am on pace on my classes and I'm having all my papers Organized. What also changed is i've join soccer for Lindsay High and I am on the varsity team; yet in order to be in the team have to be on pace on my classes. I'm doing good in my classes towards the end of the first semester. I make sure I do all my homework done and make sure I organize my binder and keeping up on the due dates. what I want to be finish by the end of the semester is to accomplish my community service hours, do my job shadow, and do my exit interview, this is because I want to take all the stress out of my body so I can concentrate only on my classes.
The only difficulties I have in my project is my job shadow, without that I can't work on my exit interview powerpoint but I am looking forward in accomplishing it during thanksgiving break. The reason I want to do it in thanksgiving break is so I won't miss any class work. what I'm enjoying in my senior project is I’m putting information about my life and about my pathways in the future. My senior year so far is good because I'm doing great in my classes. I am doing level 4 projects and on life skills I am getting 3’s,3.5, and 4’s.
Some steps I'm taking already for my post graduation life is I have applied to 2 community colleges for my next chapter in life. I applied for PC (Porterville College) and COS (College Of Sequoia). I also applied scholarships in a website, one important scholarship I’m waiting to apply is FAFSA. They tell me that they give a lot of money for people who don't have money to pay for the college. I'm feeling supported in my preparation in my graduation because my parents tell me that I can do it, just focus in your school work. My friends also support me because they tell me” Your smart Omar, you're obviously going to graduate”. And that gives me more confidence on myself because it makes me realize I can do it, I can graduate if I keep it up how I am going.
