Senior year has been going good so far. I’ve been trying to catch up on my classes and finding out what i still got left to finish in order to graduate. This is not going to be easy cause i already entered senior year behind pace and i’m going to be working on my work from this year and finish work from last year. One class i need to finish from last year is science as well as US history. Right now what im doing to finish these classes is staying after school coming early on wednesday to get help. I’m currently not on pace because last year i slacked off too much for too long and now it’s affecting my senior year. This made realize it wasn’t worth it messing around last year and i’m going to have to pay the consequences for my action and stupidity that i decided to bring upon myself. Currently i’m working on new website cause i forgotten my password of my old web site. This has taken a lot of my time on transfering my old work to my now web site. I’ve been working on my first and second journal. This has been hard because i’ve haven’t been meeting my deadlines and it’s been hard to gather my thoughts. The new computers we got this year has been getting me frustrating and the computer has been acting up and it’s becoming one of my reasons that i’m starting to fall behind because for most of my classes we have to use our computers. My expectation for this year is first of all is getting on pace for my classes and staying on pace and hopefully graduate. I wanna make lots of memories since this is my senior year. In my future is graduating and taking the advid test and and joining the army branch. Reasons why, i wanna get thrill out of life. I don’t want to wake up and go to the same place and do the same job personally for for me that killing life i wanna do things that i’m going to love. Other reason that i want to join is because i know it will prepare me for like, and i’m going to learn more disciplined. Not only im going to be discipline it’s going to help me lose weight and stay fit. Other reason is that i don’t want to spent my life in a small town that i always lived in. I feel like that the only way of getting a thrill of like instead of going out drinking every night.

There are some bad things that are happening and happened this year. One thing that is bad are my grades. I’m off pace, it’s like every day the work is getting harder. The deadlines are killing me even though I try my best I still don’t make it and I don’t achieve them. Sometimes the reading is too hard and I just stop working. It’s just so hard to be on pace and keeping your grades up when you have problems going on at school and out of school. It is also hard to concentrate and work with my learning disability. Sometimes I try my best and sometimes I don’t because of what I’m going through. It’s a lot of pressure being a junior and having one more year of school and still behind on most of your classes. Most of the time I think I’m not going to graduate on time and I’m going to become a super senior. I really don’t want to do that.
I want to be successful and graduate on time. This would make my family proud, that’s what I want. Next semester I will try even harder to change and I’m going to try my best to get on pace and get my grades up. I’m going to keep staying after school and get up early to come to school and get work done Mr. Arroyo and me work at 7am twice per week to try and stay on pace. I am really trying. I’m going to try my best to push my problems away from school and I’m going to try to get on pace this semester so that next semester I will be on pace and be prepared to do my best.

My winter break was not stressful because I didn’t do anything other than spend time with my family. I went to seattle to visit my brother and then we went to go inside the space needle. After that we spent half of the time in the house because most of the time it was raining or it was freezing cold. We came back to Lindsay and it was good trip. My brother came down here with us to spend the last two weeks of the break. We went bowling, riding bikes, going to the movies, and we spent time in the mountains. My favorite activity was when we went riding bikes because my sister and my brother got stopped by the police and they were freaking out and I was just in the car cracking up recording it but at the end it all went well. My second favorite activity was in new years I spent the time at my brothers house the whole family was there just kicking back talking about how 2015 went for us etc. Reflecting on my last semester things I enjoyed was hanging out with my friends, and the fact that i got to keep my membership for the gym because that’s my only place I can let my stress and anger out of my body and it’s been helping me lose weight and keeping me in shape and helping me reaching my goal of getting my dream body. Another thing I enjoyed is getting most of my work done for history because i’m almost done and that will give me more time to work on my other classes or give me time to work on finishing bio or getting more time to catch up on math class and that’s pretty much the things I enjoyed last semester. What I regret on not doing is finishing my work, not paying attention, ditching classes, not giving my hundred percent when i’m at school. Last semester finally hit me because im just 5 month away from graduation and still have work from last semester that needs to be complete. I’m getting a little bit scared that I might not graduate but my other half is telling me don’t worry about it you’ll get it done soon. I am just trying to put that stress away and try to relax because I know if I start freaking out I might break down and not give a crap about what’s going on and what’s happening around me. I’m trying to get my work done calmly as possible and quickly enough till its gets to the point that my teachers start seeing progress in my work and getting all my work from last semester done. What do I need to accomplish do to this semester is catch up on economics I need to redo something for bio catch up in math trying to stay on pace for english i'm starting to fall behind I need to finish some work for health that I had on freshman year I need to catch up on one of my electives which is digital art and in cooking class. I’m doing good in wood shop and almost done with history just need to pass my test for MT8 and that's pretty much what I need for this semester and for graduation. I do not plan on going to college after high school. After I graduate from high school I’m planning on moving up to seattle with my brother because he’s a chef at a really big restaurant and he’s going to help me get a temporary job starting as a dish boy and working my way up and get experience in the kitchen. I plan on saving up my own money so maybe getting an apartment of my own someday is possible. My job shadow has helped me get more information of my dream job and I know a little more of what I need to achieve on getting my dream job. For example the main thing I need is my high school diploma. Another thing i need is to be good and patient with the people and to be alert at all times. These things will help me be a successful bodyguard.

I’m nervous about graduation because I am still in the process of getting my work done because I am still behind pace. I’m nervous and scared I don’t know if I’m going to graduate and the fear is catching up to me and I’m starting to freak out, but I’m not letting that slow me down I’m still trying my best to get my work done and finish my classes. I haven't made any preparations for graduation at this time. unfortunately, I have been going to court and talking to the judge because of some trouble i got into and that’s been helping me not get nervous when the time comes for my senior presentation but I’m afraid it’s not enough. The work I need to get done is math, it is the only thing that’s holding me back and I’m afraid that I’m not going to graduate. I know I can finish but it’s hard to understand and I have a learning disability so it makes it harder for me to be a fast learner like other students. It seems that I’m only having trouble with this that class because I’m almost on pace on my classes. I just got done with biology last week and it felt great, I was glad that I’m done with that class. I also got done with United States history and once again it felt great it was a great relief I got it out of my way. I’m trying to stay on pace on english I’m on pace in metal shop I’m on pace in government I still need two EOT for econe and I’m done. I’m trying to stay on pace in intro to food and service I’m getting a little nervous about tech basic because it’s getting a little bit hard learning how to type the correct way and I’m afraid that that would hold me back in the future. I’m looking forward to graduate this year that’s my main goal out of all my goals. My other goals are trying to stay in pace in all my classes and finishing my classes on time. Last and only goal is to have fun this year. I’m trying to stay calm and be happy because I just had court and I lost my case so right now I’m feeling low but I’m still trying my best to be positive and getting my work down. I’m taking night school now hopefully I get my two unfinished class electives I’m going to be staying every monday, wednesday and fridays to work on finishing the two electives and get enough credit. On tuesday and thursday I’m going to be staying after school to work on math and get that class done as quick as possible and then I’m looking forward to graduating on time. The most greatful to look back my senior year is my teachers for helping me getting my work done and I’m most grateful for my two best teachers one of them is Mr.Arroyo. I’m grateful for having him as a teacher because he’s the most person that has push me forward and keeping me motivated no matter how bad the situation is he’s always been there keeping me motivated and always putting a smile on my face. The other teacher is Mrs.Ismael I’m grateful for having her in my life because she has helped me get my work done she’s been there for me since 7th grade helping getting my work done until this day she still with me and still putting up with problems but she has never let me down.
