Journal #1
My senior year so far has been going on great. I still can’t believe I am senior. I still remember when I entered high school. It was a big step going to high school meeting new people and being involved with older kids that you have never seen in your life. To be honest I don’t want to grow up anymore. Life gets difficult and difficult because of so many responsibilities that we will be having throughout life. In one half its good that were growing up but in another it isn’t we won’t be able to do a lot of stuff as before.
Well really I am on pace but I need to finish some work that I didn’t finish from last year as a junior. But it isn’t really anything it just some pages and that will be all. One subject that I didn’t finish last year was english 11. For me in some Mts it was really confusing with the teacher teaching this and then would change the subject the next class period. Then another thing is that I would miss that class a lot so I would get behind more. Another subject that I need to catch up is biology. That is not my best subject I really dislike science. I wouldn’t really pay attention in that class. Then I was ahead but the teacher had other students in her class that were behind so she would pay attention to them more. I just need 2 Mts more than I will be finished. I will be finished by this semester with those Mts.
Last year as a junior I did Job Shadow. I did it to one of my teachers that had been my teacher freshmen year. She is currently a teacher in Harmony Magnet Academy. Back then she had been my dance teacher and english teacher. I attended Harmony my freshmen year their but after that I moved. I learned a lot of stuff about her. She studied a lot to become a dance teacher. That is her passion and she is really a happy person. She loves what she does and she is a great at it.
What i’m looking forward this year is to have a great year. Its my last year of high school and I can’t even believe it is. I remember my years in elementary how everybody would graduate and then leave. Then when it was my turn looking back then I miss everything from getting naps, doing less work, getting to play and learning my ABC’s, my colors etc. Those years were great but know looking forward in less than months. I will be considered an adult, have my own responsibilities. It will be challenging. But that’s life you know we have to grow up and do what we need to do. To succeed in life you don’t depend on anyone then yourself. It going to be big step for me and all my classmates. But you know after we succeed in life at the end it be worth it.

My Improvements
Since my last journal entry, in August it has changed quite a lot. I have been improving so much in all my classes i’ve been doing all my work for all my classes. It's something that I am so grateful for that i'm actually taking this year seriously i'm actually right now passing all classes. I will be doing this semester and next semester passing all classes and finishing everything i need to be good for graduation. So how you see I will be doing great this year. I'm feeling confident about everything and graduating. But in less then I see it will be graduation day.
In my classes I am doing great i've been improving really fast. I have been passing all my classes for these months that we have been in school. There has been a lot of work but even that I am still passing all of them. I just need to do in this semester is to pass two classes that I haven't finished from last year so I will be good for graduation status. After I finish that I would just need to put all my attention to my classes so I would be on pace. That is what I will be doing this whole two semesters.
What i'm enjoying from my senior year is everything even if I know that next year I will not be here anymore. That I will be attending college and not coming back. Its hard to believe it. I'm having fun but I know that I need to have my grades up and I joined the soccer team this year. I'm enjoying playing for my team even if it is hard knowing that this will be my last year playing in high school. I am going to enjoy this year the most as possible because next year I will be an adult having to work and going to college at the same time. I have to make this year the best year of my life because that is when I take my big step not needing my parents anymore and being able to take my own decisions. It may sound harsh but it's the truth that know that when I graduate I will not be making my parents pay for my college. They have their own bill and I don't want to stress them out anymore. They’ve helped a lot it's time that I make them proud.
I'm feeling really supported for my graduation status. I just need to pass two class that I fell behind last year that is really easy. Its just finishing like two Mt’s in another one for my other class that I wasn't able to finish. My counselor is really helping me to be on track for my graduation status and she is helping me out by encouraging me to finish everything and to come to school every day so I will be able to walk for graduation. I am really grateful to have her and i'm getting really close to my counselor this year. I'm ready to graduate but not ready to become an adult.

Winter Break
My winter break went really good as always seeing my family eating, laughing, and talking how this year has been going. What improvements we've had this year and how the community has been affecting us. Or the help we got from the Dream Act and all that has helped one of my cousins that started attending college this year. My family is really happy that i'm graduating this year they tell me to keep studying so I have a better life than them. They don't want to see me working in the fields like they have been doing all their lives. I want to make them proud. After talking to them for a while I went and started talking to my cousin i'm really closed to her she is like one of my sisters. We have been really close so how you see you can say I enjoyed being around my family.
First semester wow it's going by to fast less than 6 months we will be graduating finally saying goodbye to high school. Wishing luck to everyone in their lives well it's going to be hard saying goodbye to people that you have seen everyday for 4 years. This year has been a year I feel like I just started senior year know were about to end first semester. It's been a really stressful time trying to finish all work so I have to be passing all my classes. This year is that to pass all my classes so I could have better grades than i've had before. I regret not paying attention in my past classes from last year. Know I have more work to finish so I have to finish it so I will be able to walk for graduation.
Right know what i'm stressing is worrying that I need to pass those two classes that I fell behind in. It seems like I have little time to finish those classes. I feel like I have to put my whole effort so I may pass those two classes so I will be fine for graduation status. I have faith that I will be good before this semester ends.
College applications their going alright I haven't really applied anywhere. Im planning to stay around here for a while. I applied to College of the Sequoias and Porterville College those are the only schools i'm considering to go. After going to school there I will be transferring to Fresno State to finish my teaching career so I will be able to get my bachelors to become a teacher. Those are my goals for right know I know that it is going to rough but i'm willing to do it. So I can make my family proud and to have a better future. I want to be a teacher for little kids that is my main goal for my future.
I haven't really gone for a lookout for a job. For right now i'm worrying about having good grades and being good for graduation. Im planning to get a job where i'm going to school like they offer jobs and that will help alot. Or look a job in a store or something. But I don't really have a big plan out about a job.
Graduation Status
I am nervous of graduating because this time graduating means I am going to be responsible for my own life. Their won't be anybody else taking decisions for me. I will be the one making choices seeing what is right or wrong for me. I will be considered an adult and I will have to work to make my life succeed. The preparations I've done is that I will start working right after high school graduation and saving money for college. I will be attending College of the Sequoias to get my teaching credential. Work and study at the same time. I don't know how I'm going to do it but I will.
As so for right now the only thing I need is to finish Biology B. I just need Mt 8 and the dissection to be done for that class. Last semester I finished History by taking 2 eots . I finished My 6 and 7 for biology. By this semester I will be good for graduation status. It's been a stressful because of me not trying last year I didn't finish what I had to do last year. But how you see you learn from your mistakes.
I'm looking forward to graduating being able to work, win my own money. Being an adult is one of them being able to make my own decisions not having anybody to put rules. I know that life isn't going to be easy. But i'm ready to start my own life without my parents I love them very much but it's time for them to let me go. Going to college is one of my main goals and getting my bachelors is one of them too. Graduating college will be my biggest accomplishment because I will be making my parents proud. Making my parents proud has been the most important thing for me. Seeing them risk their lives to bring me here for a better life is now my turn to return what they've had done. It's crazy how years has passed and seeing them get older as year pass. Soon they will not be able to take care of us how they used too.
Im grateful of getting to know all these students from this high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Each year for these 3 years I met more and more students and I enjoyed being around them. Playing soccer was one of the reasons I met more and more girls different years of high school but they made each year wonderful. I enjoyed playing soccer because during practices they would make each day fun knowing how to make memories. They made these year memorable and it's been a pleasure to be friends with them and being in their lives. Looking back through all teachers I've had they have been wonderful motivating me and pushing me to work hard. Ms. Benitez has been a great counselor motivating me that I should go to college do more than my parents did. Showing me that it may be not easy but at last it will be worth it.
