The time has come we are so close to graduation I can almost see it. I can't wait for it to get here, I'm actually not that nervous to about graduation it's a big deal to finally get out of high school and everyone may be nervous but I'm not I can't wait for what the future has for us. I have be getting ready for graduation for a while know getting a job on my own and trying to make my own money so when the time comes I will able to make it on my own. I stated to making my invitation for my graduation it's fun to be able to say I did it. I still need to stay on pace as I been doing to make sure I can do track.
I looking forward to picking my roommate, picking my classes, getting things for my dorm and decorated it. Also I am looking forward on being on my own for the first time, not having to ask my parents what I have to do and what I should do with my life. I can't wait to wake up in my dorm and go to my first class as a freshman as a college student. They things are more grateful are my friends, my family and my teachers. When I first got here from Texas I didn't want to talk anyone I just wanted to go back. I got into 8th grade and I made a group of friend that I knew were going to be my friend for all four years of high school. To this day the group I made in 8th grade have push me to keep my head up high and don't let the negative get to me.They push me to apply to college even though I had my mind site on going to the military they made me see I had opinions not just that one. Without my mother by my side during this year, I would have had melt downs everyday, she told me to take time for myself and at the same time push myself. She always saying that she has a hard life and she don't want me to go through that. Not having the money when she was young to afford college she is doing everything for me to be able to go, reminding to do FAFSA and to fill out scholarship. My freshman I really didn't care for level 4’s I just wanted to get through high school, I had teacher that didn't push their student to do them any ways. Until my junior year my English teacher saw that I could do the level 3 without trying so he told me that he wasn't going to take any more level 3 work he wanted my best work, so he had me do the level 4. I complain about it every day I was in his class he didn't care, he knew if I wanted to graduate I would do the work. Even though I had most teachers not push me, I have had some that do, those are the ones that I am grateful. Though these four years I can say that this school tries to make you independent so you don't need a to be push all the time by others that we should be able our own motivation.

During my winter I spent the first week watching movie and taking my time for myself. After the first week I went to Tj for the rest of my winter break. My brother come down from Connecticut to spend Christmas and new years in Tj with us. When we were there we shop a lot got to ride horse and eat a lot of tacos. I had never spent 2 weeks there before it felt weird not being with the rest of my tios and tias. We had always spent Christmas and new years with them since we moved to California. We spent Christmas at my place opening gifts and watching Christmas video. New year eve we went to the beach got a fire going and stay the whole night there until 1 in the morning the next day. I didn't want to come back but I realized that my last year of high winter break this time next year we are going to be in college.
I going to miss the most is my track family, I got to know more people and got to see that there so many different people in this world and not to just stay with the same group as you have for a while. Which will be useful when I go to college not knowing no one there. I have made so many memories and wish that they could come with me to college. The thing I remember the most is my first meet, so many thing were going through my head all being negative. Good thing I had my coach Mr. Lopez there telling me it was okay if I didn't do good it was my first meet, to not to think I was going to be bad if I got last I can always improve. Walking up to the line and hear the gunfire was the best thing I love hearing that sound I knew then that track was my passion. I regret not joining track when I got the LHS I thought that the team was a joke but then I realized it not I just thought it was. The reality that my last semester is coming and fast I don't know what the future has for me and it fright me. I know that it is coming but I don't want to accept it because come June 10, I will no longer be attending Lindsay High School. However before that day comes I need to accomplish finishing and catching up in my classes. Filling out college applications wasn’t that hard as I thought it would be. Now I just have to wait and see what the school have to say gotting into stanislaus and bakersfield. Just waiting on what San jose, Monterey bay and San Diego have to say. My top choice would be San Diego if I don't get admit then I would like San Jose. During the summer my plans are to move out there, start sight seeing and seeing how close thing are from the dorms and school. Once I kinda know how to move around and where places are I have to get a job to pay for books and other things. My mom said I would be getting her car when I graduate from high school so then I won't have to worry about getting to places and work. Not a lot of change since my the last journal entry just now I got the hang of my class and I have started to apply for colleges. Now that the semester is coming to an end, I am on pace with almost all my classes but economics. Man I dislike that class, who’s going to need that when we grow up, well actually we are grown ups. Man to think that we are half ways there, all we need is 2 more months and this semester is over. Before this semester ends I just need to get on pace in economics since it’s a class we need to graduate and therefore should be taken care of. I started to stay after school everyday until 5 or 6 to finish my homework or just to fix my things for college.
The difficulties I am having with my senior project is that I am not able to do the senior exit interview because I am off pace in one class. My website is almost done, I just have to add my senior exit interview. I like the designing part of creating my website however I don’t like the fact that is all about me. I don't like letting people know about me and my life. I love the fact that we are almost out of here but scared of the real world. I am trying to stay on pace in my classes because I know when I get to college I will have no one there telling me what needs to be done. I try to put due dates because in college you have them all the time. I feel like I am ready to get out of high school and start my life, I know my high school years were fun and easy and college may not be like this but it's okay I want the new adventure. I stay everyday until 5 or 6 making sure all my college applications are in and that everything is right on them. I have applied to CSU Bakersfield, Monterey Bay, Stanislaus, and San Diego University. I am ready to know if they have accepted me in CSU, I really don't want to apply to a UC because I feel like a CSU is the place for me. UC’s have too much competition for me I want to go to a college that I feel comfortable at. The UC application is so long compared to CSU it so much shorter. Now I am just waiting to hear back for the schools, I am going to have pay for two more since I just get to for free. I am going to pay $110 for san jose and sacramento I can't wait for senior sunset and for grad nite, that's what I have been looking for all senior year. I have been worrying about my classes and application but I know at the end of the road it will be worth it. I have started counting down the days for graduation almost there. My senior year started as everyone else waiting for my schedule to be fix. me not having a fourth period was a mission to get. when everyone got there schedules we all had to wait up to two hours to talk to someone so they could fix it. I end up having okay classes I meet new people, I got new teachers some in which I don't like very much but it's okay it just for one more year yay! I still can't believe I have been going to this school for so long. looking back I wouldn't have change anything it has lead me to where I am now. my summer seem so short maybe because I wanted this year just to start already. I wanted to know how it felt to be able to walk through those big black gates and know this is it this is my year the year i have been waiting for my chance to know what it feels to be a SENIOR. There's days in where I wish the school year will just hurry up and others I want it to slow down knowing ones we throw our caps in the air on that amazing day may be the last time I get to see some of my friends. even though I moved here about 5 years ago I have gotten really close to some people. I can't picture my college life without some of them but that day will come where we go our own ways to start a new chapter. my year so far has been fine just some teachers are annoying but there's nothing I can do just put up with it trying to make the best of it. I love my guitar class though I love the music we make it there I feel so free in there I can be loud and no one can tell me nothing. I can be me! I am taking a computer class which is okay it gets super cold in there though and i sit in the back with some girl that doesn't talk. so far the only teacher to give me homework was Traeger it wasn't a lot but still. i started playing tennis this year it actually really fun I meet people and learn a new sport. It's kinda hot to be playing but it's okay. We start our first game this Thursday I am kinda happy to see what it's going to be like to play against other people. I know i'm not the best player but I will try my best. this first weeks have been going so slow I want it to go by faster but on well. I hoping that my senior year starts to be more fun I can't wait for the senior sunrises. Junior journal In the beginning of my junior year when I got my schedule I had to change it many times. When I got my schedule I noticed I didn’t have chemistry, math or an art class. So I went to see the office about that there was so much people I was feeling stress out. I couldn’t believe what had happened with my classes. I changed physiology for chemistry, computer repair for art and begin guitar for math. A month into to school I realized psychology was hard for me I couldn’t keep up with that class and my other ones so I drop out of that class so I could become a T.A.
