About me
Through the years of school, mostly high school, I have had different experiences and feelings on the way I feel about coming here everyday. Back in the early years of school it was easy to learn, easy to think about the future and what I was going to be when I grew up. I used to think
about coming to high school all the time. When I finally got here, my mood all changed
and now I'm excited to see what happens after high school. This felling has progressed through each year that I have been here.
Freshman Year
When i started high school i had a lot of mixed emotions. I was excited that I was the big kid over the other school districts,
but at the same time I was at the bottom of high school. The stories on the television
about high school and how it was going to be, especially for a freshman,
frightened me. These included getting stuffed in a locker, or getting swirlies,
or in general having bullies that I would have to watch out for. All these ended
up being lies because the atmosphere in the school seemed friendly. All I had
to worry about was getting used to the new school and the ways the classes worked. There were a lot of new opportunities that I could explore
new interests in. There were also new sports and extracurricular activities I could
participate in. I decided to play soccer like I had done for the past couple
years. I was taught in the earlier years of this sport to have fun, now in high
school it seemed that all that mattered was winning and your record. This year
was also the first year that I was introduced to Spanish class, which was easier
than English. This was how I got started; scared and confused, but I knew I had
high expectations and was determined to see them pull through.
Sophomore Year
Last year brought new things to my attention which also meant that it was putting more on my plate. I was of course going to be in higher levels of math, English, science, and Spanish, but I was looking more towards the electives. I decided to take nutrition because I love to cook and miscellaneous things in my spare time. It turned out a little different than I had hoped it would be, but I guess I was being too naive to think that I would have been cooking the whole time. Though some of the other electives that I took last year were exciting, the highlight of last year was by far being introduced to tennis. I do not think i have enjoyed playing any other sport than I do tennis. I was glad that one of my classmates encouraged for me to try it out. Since I started I have not been able to stop thinking about or have quit wanting to play tennis everyday that I possibly could.
Junior Year
This year has had its ups and downs. The year started out pretty slow considering that the soccer season did not go the way i had hoped, but I was tried to not let that get in the way of school and the people in it. I was taking the regular classes, and they were just getting harder and harder with each day that passed. I was relieved when second trimester came along , with easy classes and not having a lot of homework. Although it gave me a little break from stress, it was getting me less prepared for the third, which as of now is homework every night in all of my classes. So for now the only thing that I am looking forward to is the sport that I have been dying to play since the beginning of the school year; tennis. Other than sports I am looking to find a job in the summer this year as a lifeguard. Hopefully the job is given in my favor, but i will not know for a while. I am looking forward to my senior year and what my life will turn out to be.
