This is it! The start of my last high school beginning. I say beginning because I try to start every year, semester, or even day, fresh. The quote that I have always looked up would be, “Everyday is a new day to change the rest of your life.” People always say that it’s too late, and they won’t get another chance. For me, just because I have a couple of regrets doesn’t mean I can make up for them, it won’t be exactly how I wanted it but that’s why it’s a regret. That is exactly how I feel about my Senior year, I may have some regrets but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a different route towards my destination.
As soon as my Senior year started, nothing went as planned, even before it begun. But you just gotta wing it! My time and all my classmates has arrived. I’ve been waiting what feels to be on the top of the high school grades, a senior.
Beginning my senior year it was pretty intense, a different feeling. More pressure is on now than ever before. Pressure from family, friends, and even myself. This is it, no second chances, either I start and finish my Senior Year, or I repeat it. So far my senior year has been alright, right now I am focused on my education and football. It is my last year playing football since freshman year. At first I didn’t really know if I should really play because considering it being my last high school year, and I have to finish my classes, but that’s why I played because it is my last time. I wasn’t playing for about two years for dumb reasons, but this year the team’s good, the coach is good, so I felt like it was the right time.
At this moment I’m just trying to balance out sports, school and having fun with friends. There needs to be boundaries on how much I need to spend my time on a particular thing. School needs to come first, but at times I get sidetracked.
Other than staying focused on my goal I feel like everything else is great at this point. I am hoping to play basketball also, and being more involved.
Also back to hanging out with my clique from summer, and just giving it everything I got this Senior year. I mean it’s my last year here and I need to make it count, I want to leave a mark when I leave. I want to leave with a good side of me, I’m motivated to finish it all and just don’t forget to have a good time. I feel like this is it, this is my year and I don’t have no time to mess around with things that don’t matter to me.
My goals for this year is to get a job, get my first car, and end my high school career.
Right now, I am somewhat on pace but just have to not let procrastination get to me. I also have more pressure being involved in a sport, with eligibility coming out and not being able to play if I don’t make the grades.
I feel like my website is a reflection on my thought process. I can’t show all of me in some words in pictures, but I can give a little of an insight about my life. That’s the interesting part, just getting to know my train of thought throughout all of this process. For now, I have to complete a job shadow, a couple of essays and just make my website personal to me. Put my own taste to it, because in the end, I will look back at this website.
My senior year I look forward to putting in work, and at the same time having fun. Hanging out with friends, but then know when I need to stay in for the weekend. I look forward to just being me and get things done. I look forward to accomplishing my goals and afterwards, heading out to the college that I desire. Right now I am thinking of hopefully getting accepted to Long Beach State, or San Diego State. I will major in Criminal Justice, wake up doing what I love to do, and deal with crime 24/7.
