In all of my school years, I never would have thought that high school would go by so fast. My junior year came by so fast and now I do not know what to expect of senior year. I always thought that high school would be like a movie but no, it is way more fun than a movie. High school really is opening my eyes to the real world. I know by the end of my senior year I am going to miss many people. Don’t get me wrong life in high school is so hard. There is so much work to be done. High school really stresses me out and thinking of the future does as well. Thinking about what classes I need to do in order to go to college makes me feel like it is so difficult to maintain school work. Hopefully I succeed in school and pass my classes. I know that I am behind in some school work but I am trying to catch up and pass. I am planning to be an auto technician, so I have to stay on pace in my auto class and keep up my constant participation. Maybe high school won’t be as bad as I thought it would be. Even though I am not good in my math subject, I know that I will eventually get my bearings and strive in that class. Math is and never was my strong suit or best subject rather. One thing about my math class or any class for that matter, is that I need one on one time with the teacher or LF to fully understand the subject we are learning about. That is why I am behind on math and a little on science. I remember the begging of the year thinking, imagining that I would pass high school with no problem but I was clearly wrong. I used to think that school was easy and I would have no trouble with it but obviously thing get tougher as we go along. I also learned that in life things like these will happen eventually and because of high school I will be prepared. I know now that I am not prepared for life yet but I do believe that I will be after high school. Hopefully I grow to be successful and carry a long knowledgeable life. I do hope my senior year goes great and I have lots of fun because you only get to be in high school and experience it once. Maybe one day I will live somewhere in Colorado and live my dream of living a long happy life, and have a family that can have fun and have food on the table every day as well as buying what they want when they want it. All in all, I hope I have the knowledge of Lindsay high school and forever be a Lindsay high cardinal! I hope one day I can pack up and leave Lindsay and make money!!!

My senior year continues with struggle to keep my head above the water but, I am getting better with my pace of completion in all of my classes. I am looking towards completing biology early and jumping to a topic that I need to graduate. Although school is a bit of a struggle right now, I will persevere and strive to complete more on a daily bases.Currently I am on pace for all of my classes and am taking night school in a course that is called personal finances. This year so far has been difficult due to some issues with catching up but, I have caught up to where I need to be progressively. School in Colorado like I said in my previous journal entry, was going to be good but, I have decided to stay here in California to complete 2 years of junior college to increase my chances in life and opening more doors for me so that I can truly explore my options.I hope that I will be able to leave to colorado when I do finish my courses and have a stable pay. When I do leave this state, I plan to have a good stable job and I am planning to have a good life. In order for me to succeed and go through with my plan, I must follow through with my plan for my life so far and I will see how it goes.

Being in the 2nd semester in my senior year has me a little frightened. I realized that in only 4 months, I will no longer have to go to school unless I want to go. In the first semester, I was slacking off a bit because I had yet to feel like a senior. I am glad that I stayed on pace during the first half of school. I feel like reality hit me because I am realizing that I am becoming an adult and I will need to be making my own decisions.Before I graduate, I want to make myself known in Lindsay with something that I did. I want to push through all of my assignments and pass my classes with ease. This being the 2nd semester, I feel like this year has just flown by. This just showed me how time flies by as you age. I do feel like this year was the year to really wake me up on how fast time goes and it has taught me a lot about college.My goal for this semester is to stay on pace or even go ahead in my work but, most of all to pass and graduate. The feeling of graduating is a bitter-sweet feeling because I am going to miss this school and all of my friends, but I will be graduating and I will feel accomplished. Even when I do miss my friends when I graduate, I will be extremely satisfied and excited.

Coming to the end of the year, I myself am freaking out because it just does not seem real that I will be leaving this school to live a life of my own. I once wanted to go straight to college after high school but, I will work for a while until I am capable of moving to Colorado with the help of my family. I am excited, yet frightened at the fact that I will not be coming to this school anymore. This school has provided me with so much memories and friends and knowledge, that I feel as if though I do not want to leave it but, as once said,all good things must come to an end.
I know to most people, college is a huge deal to go into after high school but, I believe that a student should go to college when they feel ready to take on that responsibility. As a high school student, I feel like I am not ready because I have yet to figure out who I am and what I would like to do for the rest of my life. To me it’s scary to think about because of knowing that I will eventually be doing something that will determine how I live my life. I for one, get terrified at the idea that I will be doing one thing for the rest of my life.
I guess this year was supposed to teach me how to deal with these kinds of situations. In a way it kinda did. It showed me that, just because you have done a certain thing for a while, does not mean that you have to do that forever and that you can always change, just as I have this year with the many decisions that I have made. Coming to the end of this year is scary for everyone that I know and they all feel like they are being pushed against a wall because of the work and the thought of life after school. I can speak for them because I too feel that way. I am glad that school will be over and that I will be able to go on in life knowing that I graduated a “LINDSAY CARDINAL”!
