My first week as a senior has almost come to an end. My first day went pretty well, not as I expected it to go. I was really nervous and excited at the same time. What got me more nervous was when the teachers would say “What do you guys want to do after high school?” “What university are you thinking to go to?” “What colleges are you planning to apply?” that’s when it hit me, I was finally a senior. After the first two days of school we started to do work which I was surprisingly happy to do. It’s really easy to fall behind and I’ll try to do my best to stay on pace by meeting all the deadlines and not turn in the work late. I’m really happy for all the classes I have. I got leadership which is ASB and I’m really excited because I really want to get involved a lot this year because of course it’s my last year of high school and I would like to participate in school events. In fact we’ve been starting to do work for that class and we’ve been making posters and hanging them up for the volleyball games. I'm excited to see what else I can participate throughout the year. I've been told that high school goes by fast and indeed it does. Of course I didn't really believe them but, now I look back and regret not participating a lot the past 3 years of high school. I'm still shocked that this is it, it's my last year of high school. Overall, I’m excited to see what Senior year brings to me. After high school I do plan to go to school but I'm not sure if to go to a community college or a vocational school. I do know that I want to be a medical assistant and a cosmetologist. I will be the second one to graduate high school. One thing for sure I am going to go to school after high school and get a career.

It’s almost come to an end of first semester. Just one more month and first semester is over. Senior year has been going really great so far but I’m currently not passing all 7 classes but I am trying my best to finish all of my work. I know for a fact that I will be on pace on all 7 classes by the end of semester. There’s still some classes I need to complete from the previous year and I’ve been staying after school daily so I can finish and I’m glad to say I’m almost finish. Besides that my school year has been going great and I am planning to go to a community college after high school and then transferring to a 4 year university. I've finally made a decision and I want to be a Preschool teacher. At first I wanted to attend to Milan Institute and be a medical assistant. But my brother was telling me to major in something you love so when I’ll have a job I’ll be happy with what I'm doing. I was realizing that I really like to work with kids, I like helping with kids. So I then decided to be a Preschool teacher which means I’ll major in Child Development. Which I’m really excited to do. I’ve only applied to Porterville College and College of the Sequoias but I still don’t know what college to go to. I will attend college and then I will transfer to a 4 year University, most likely to Fresno State because it’s somewhat closer to home. As much as I want to leave as far as I can, I don’t know if I will be able to because I wouldn’t want to be too far away from my family. I’m glad I decided to do my job shadow on a teacher but what I do regret was not job shadowing a preschool teacher instead of a 8th grade teacher. I still liked the teacher I job shadowed. It was great seeing all of her different ways of teaching. Honestly I’m excited yet scared to graduate high school. The fact that our lives will just be beginning and we will be young adults. What excites me that most about graduating is going to the East Coast trip with some friends and it’ll be a great experience because I’ve always wanted to travel and now I will be able to do that. I could already tell my summer is going to be great!

At this point we’re almost done with our 1st semester of school. I'm currently doing all I can to finish all my classes on time. I am officially finished with 3 classes for this semester at the moment. I will admit i've been slacking off on most of my classes but I am getting through them. Besides that I am currently involved in ASB, which i really love and regret not joining it before. The class I’ve probably struggled the most this semester was government but I can proudly say I got through it and I’m currently working on my last project. I will admit I’m so nervous the fact that it’s 2017 already and that I graduate in just months away. I still remember my first day of school as a freshmen, oh you should’ve seen how nervous I was. On the other hand, my winter break was really great. My family and I spent Christmas at Selma with my mom’s side of the family, which I’ll admit I don’t really like spending the holidays with them because I feel like our families aren’t really close as we were before. Overall, it was great spending Christmas with them. For New Year’s we decided to stay home and just relax. I really wanted to eat tamales but my mom didn’t want to make any so I just decided to make Lasagna for my family and I. I’m planning to attend to Porterville College and then transfer to a university, most likely Fresno State. I plan to major in child development because I really like spending time with little kids and I just like helping them with anything. Just seeing little kids so happy, makes me happy. I’m always babysiting my little cousins and it’s just great because children are so curious about anything and it’s great teaching them something, even the simplest things. That’s why I plan to major in child development.
