Junior Year My second semester of my junior year has just begun. First semester was pretty good, my biggest worry in the beginning of the year was being not able to pass Algebra. Lucky was able to finish the rest of Algebra in like about a month. I am currently in Geometry MT4. I am proud of how far I have come but it doesn't stop here. I have set a goal for myself to finish the rest of Geometry during my junior year. If I do reach my goal I would like to start Algebra 2 my senior year. My sophomore year I was not able to pass my math cahsee by just about two points I was confident in myself that I was gonna pass it the next time I took it. To help my self in the cahsee my teacher gave us a few minutes to work on a website called ixl. When the time came to take the cahsee I was very nervous but luckily I was able to pass it. Another class I am worried about is English I finished module one and two but I still have to work on module three I can not risk falling behind for second semester. To keep myself on paste I have been doing a lot of homework at home and also staying at least three times a week after school for those two classes. I have seen an improvement ever since I have started saying after school I think it is a really good idea to stay even if I am on pace I could move ahead on any class and not be so stressed. All my teachers have been so kind and patient to help me out. My favorite classes this year would have to be AP Spanish and also Yearbook, I feel like those two classes are very manageable for me to pass. They also are not that stressful for me. A class that is also very fun for me would be food service and hospitality. In that class we have cooking labs for many types of things for example we cook for the football team, for the learning facilitators, for the seniors exit interview and so much more. I have so far I have taken all three of the home ec. I love learning about cooking,cleaning,sewing and how to take care of baby's. I'm not sure if there is a fourth class for creative living but I would love to take one for my senior year. Spanish has been my first AP class ever I find it pretty easy and fun I learn so much new words. At the end of my AP Spanish class we have to take a test which will let us now if we pass the class or not, I am pretty nervous about not passing it but to help my self not be so negative I do a practice test online. Once every week my teacher has us working on it to at least give the students about how the real test will be like.
Senior Year It’s the beginning of my senior year and also my last year being a student at Lindsay High School. It has become very shocking to me how my years throughout high school have passed by so quickly. I am determined that I will make my last year the best one yet. I hope to make memories with all my friends, family, learning facilitators and also meet new people, I hope to be more involved with school events and clubs. It's hard to accept the fact that this will be my last year in high school because I know after my senior year I am on my own. I know this will be just the beginning to the real world and I will succeed. So far I have loved all my electives that I choose this year which are video editing, digital art, and also yearbook again. The reason why I choose video editing and digital art was because I wanted to be more informed about how to use photoshop and just learn more about technology. In those two classes I am struggling just a bit and It has been these past first weeks of school because I am barely learning how to set up things and how to work these programs. Im sure in time things will settle down for me and I will be able to understand the way things work just perfectly. This will be my second year being in yearbook I really enjoyed taking the class my junior year so I decided to take it again my senior year. It's good to know that I will be a part of creating my senior year book. So far I am on track to graduate, to keep myself on pace I want to be able to turn everything when the paperwork is due and even if I can I want to be able to be ahead in some classes, instead of just stressing and trying to get things done the last weeks of school. Ever since school started everytime I get assigned homework I try my best to finish it that exact same night. I am very excited to doing my senior activities as in finishing the rest of my journals and my exit interview. One of my favorite parts was begging able to create my own website that I had created my junior year and this year I will be able to add more pictures about my life at school and also my life at home, creating the rest of my journals and just be able to personalize my site. One of the classes that I have not yet finished is geometry. When I received my schedule I was shocked to see that it was not in any of my second classes so I had a meeting with my counselor and she informed me that in less than six weeks I will be attending an 8th period class to finish my last two mt’s.
Winter Break During my winter break I was around my family a lot. Before my winter break I had decided to spend two days out of each week to do some type of homework. The classes that I was actually assigned to do homework for was AP Spanish Literature and government. Although with my English class I was able to finish not only semester one work but I was also able to move on ahead in the class.My mothers family from Las Vegas came over to visit us for the holidays. While they were here we had the chance to bond with one another and also cook together. It had been a good while that we had not seen each other so it was nice to finally be able to see them during my holidays. The classes I had trouble with during the first semester of my senior year where Video Editing and also Digital Art. Because I did work over my winter break I did not struggle a lot with English, Government, or Ap Spanish Literature. I saw many of my classmates rushing and struggling to get things done before the first semester was over. This situation made me realize that it was very good for me that I had done homework for my winter break. After all the confusion, hard work and the late nights I stayed up doing work, I was able to pass seven out of seven classes. It is very shocking to me that in just a few more months I will be a High School graduate from Lindsay High School. I can not wait to be able to walk with my peers that day of graduation. Just because I was able to pass my first semester of my senior year does not mean that I will be able to slack off and relax. What this means to me is just that I am half ways towards my goal and I will do the best I can to be able to completely finish it. I still have one more semester to go and seven more classes stay on pace on and also to finish. Some things that I have been able to purchase thanks to my parents are my yearbook, my class ring, and also my cap and gown. It is a great feeling to buy something that you were a part of. It is a great experience to be in the yearbook class because we are trying our very best to make our senior yearbook full of memories and laughs that maybee in years from now the students will look back at. I had a fun time being able to design and decorating my class ring although there was so many choices to choose from I was able to find the perfect one for me. I can not wait to receive it and see how it came out. I am very glad to say that my senior year has been great this far and I am sure my second semester will be also.
Second Semester Of Senior Year It is the second semester of my senior year and things have been great so far. Its really hard to accept the fact that in just a few months school will be over for me. I have been really trying hard in school because I don't seem to have so much time left. I have been staying after school for math now more recently because I don't have time to wait and to it later. I feel like staying after school and also choosing a class for plt has helped a lot I just need one more measurement topic for geometry and then I will be done. Other classes I have been able to choose for plt are mostly independent work and I choose those classes because its really helpfull for me to choose the class I want to be able to do work for. Econ I am struggling with just a bit I am not behind pace in that class I am actually caught up but sometimes I am not able to really understand the words we use or the worksheets we work on. The projects in my econ class do seem very interesting and fun to do. In my english class things seem to be just fine I am also caught up in the work and once we finish reading the story “ Brave New World” the teacher allows us to work on our websites and that for me is very helpful because if I have any questions the teacher is there to help me out. I am really really happy with the way I have decorated my website I love how it looks and i'm glad I have most of my work put up. Over the few weeks that have passed by I received my date for my exit interview I am looking forward to it. I am glad I had started it even before I got the notification because this means I have more time to put thought into what I will include, what I will say, and also because I'm glad I won't have to rush at the last minute. In my video editing class the projects and work has gotten very interesting for me we are actually working on a video for slick rock which is a competition and our category is gonna be about living in tulare county so I am looking forward to that. Also for my art class I have gotten ten times better at drawing then I was in the beginning of the school year and I am glad I did because I have always loved drawing and it's really special when people tell me how great my work is. My second semester of my senior year is going amazing and I can not wait for the rest to come along. I know it will not be easy but I can assure you it will be worth it all at the end.
