There’s only 54 days left until graduation. This count down makes me extremely nervous. It is the end. My childhood is almost over. It is almost time to grow up and start my life. Honestly, this went by way too fast. I just want time to slow down so I can enjoy these last few days. I want to be happy and enjoy my final months with my mom and sister. I am excited but scared and nervous. All of my feelings are mixed up about this. Overall, I am proud that I am going to make It. A lot of people said that I would not get this far; but, here I am about to graduate.
For post-graduation I have gotten majority of my classes for Fresno City. I am looking for an apartment for me and my puppy. I have also applied to subway and Little Caesars so hopefully I can just transfer and have a job over there. I have downloaded an app called offer up and it's a good app so I am going to use It to get my furniture and other house appliances so that way I am not spending that much money. I still need to present my senior exit PowerPoint. I also need to catch up so I can be on pace. I don't need much. I just need to make sure that I stay on track with my work so I can graduate and get on with my life. I am looking forward to my exit interview on the 16th. I think that my PowerPoint and my website perfectly suits who I am. I am also looking forward to graduation. Whether I am walking or not I can not wait to have the diploma in my hands. Most of all, the thing that I am looking forward to the most is moving to Fresno and getting my life started. It is going to be a big challenge living on my own, and I am scared but, I know I can do it and I can not wait to see what is in store for me in the future. My life is really hard and stressful right now. I’m hoping that going to college learning what I love and living by myself instead of other people, will be just what I need. Looking back at my senior year, and the rest of high school I’m most grateful for the teachers who believed in me and helped me through the most. These teachers are Ms. Wills, Mr. Hickinbotham, and Mr. Black. Ms, Wills , and Mr. Hickinbotham have taught me everything that I love most. They both have tons of faith in me and everything I do. They’re the best teachers that I have ever come across in high school. I just met Mr. Black this year. Me and him already have a good bond and we have practiced after school several times. He Is also currently helping me with college and making sure I get stuff done.

The beginning of winter break was fun, I was in a play called “The Redneck Christmas Carol “ I had two roles. SueBelle ; A teenage girl who falls in love with this boy who loves nothing but money and he doesn't want to marry her so she leaves him. My second role was a woman named Joanna. Joanna is a house wife who has the “ best cooking in town” she only has a husband and Is not so wealthy. She's easy to forgive and Is pretty outgoing. I spent about half of my break studying and being these two characters. It was a good way to spend my time, I also became really close to the rest of the cast and made a few more friends.
What I loved about this last semester is that I came back from Granite I miss this high school a lot and I am glad to be back. When I came back It just felt like home. I was welcomed back with open arms and It was one of the best feelings that I have ever felt In a while. I regret slacking off and missing so much school, I made a huge mistake by sleeping in and I know that I should have cared more about school because now I have to worry about walking during the graduation ceremony. The reality that this Is my last year hit me hard when I got my tassel from jostens. The fact that this is my last year just scares me. I’m excited to start my life but, the unknown really eats me up. I feel ready but at times all I can think of is negative “ What if's”. All I know Is that I must end this year strong and leave a mark on the high school. In order to graduate I need to finish the last two measurement topics in U.S. history. I also need to finish my English work and catch up In Economics. I am currently on pace in the rest of my classes. I have gotten accepted to Fresno City College. I also took the english placement test and I passed with 78% and 89%; because I scored so good, I got into actual college courses and not remediation classes.Since I finished geometry sophomore year, It was not mandatory that I take a math placement test.Within the next few weeks, To help with post-graduation expenses, I have applied to a lot of places. I have yet to find a job that will actually take me into consideration and give me an interview. Within the next few days, I am going put In applications for a few more big industry stores so hopefully I can get hired so I don’t have to depend on my parents as much anymore. Even though Lindsay does have a lot of small businesses, I figured that If I can get a job at a place like Subway or Starbucks, I can just transfer to a location In Fresno. If I do this, I would not have to look for another job. Since my last journal entry I have been applying for colleges and trying to decide what exactly do I want to do after graduation. I know that I want to go to a community college but the thing I keep asking myself Is where? Where do I want to live, I want to go as far away as possible but, at the same time I want to be somewhat close so I don't get too homesick. I am starting to avoid negative advice and really just starting to think what I want to do. I am thinking about changing my career. But, I am not so sure yet since I have been planning on this since my sophomore year.
I am mainly on pace in all of my classes. In Government I just need to turn in my project in order to be back on pace. I find myself getting extremely lazy, I do not want to wake up In the morning for school, I am finding it hard to make time for homework and studying. I am just becoming incredibly lazy. It is hard to fight it. There is only 5 weeks left in this semester and as the days go by, the more I want to sleep. Before the end of the semester, I need to finish government, and just be on pace in all of my classes. In Weight Training, I want to be lifting at least 100 lbs, I have auditions and ensemble coming up so I need to work on my tone and skill for guitar. Over my breaks I am going to try and get ahead in my classes so I do not have to worry next semester. I also still need to finish MT 7 and 8 for U.S. history. Senior project so far has mainly been good. It is hard to talk about my past and what I have went through, but , I am managing to do It. I like everything that I have done so far, and It seems to be going somewhat smoothly. Lately, I have been spending with two of my really good friends that I have been close to since my freshman year. My best friends graduated last year and It has been odd without them. overall, I can not necessarily complain about this year; it has been pretty good, a little drama here and there but It Is still good. To prepare for post- graduation, I have applied for colleges. I have been looking at housing prices for the areas of the colleges that I have applied to. I am currently looking at jobs for those areas as well. I am trying to become more independent and practice skills that I will have to use while I am away. So far, I feel supported more by my family members and only a few teachers. They are helping me prepare and set up for next year. Senior so far has been better then I would have thought that it would be last year. It's not as frustrating as I expected. I am on pace in all of my classes, I hardly have any homework and it is just so relaxing. The reason for me being able to be so relaxed is because I did quite a lot my freshman and sophomore year. I would always make sure my work was done before I did anything else. Also I made my college list and plans A-D in case what I truly want does not work out. I wish I would have tried a little bit harder because then I wouldn't be so stressed out over next year. Currently, I am working on all of my journals and my life map. I am hoping to be able to do the early completion for the exit interview so that way I can be able to be more relaxed and focus on next year as well as prepare myself for my “new life” that will be in action within the coming months. Something exciting about my project right now is talking about all that I have conquered, all that I have become, all that I have learned, most of all is demonstrating the unforgettable life lessons that I have learned from some of the best teachers that I have met during my time in school. This year I am looking forward too the memories that I am going to make with my friends as well as my final memories as a kid at home. After this I hope to move to Los Angeles and start a whole new life over there as well as study to be a music and performing arts teacher. All that I am thinking of for now is just being a high school teacher. I want to be able to give kids alternatives for releasing whatever they feel, through music, acting, dancing or anything else that will help them be expressive in a positive way. Today during reading plus, I was reading this thing called "The Choir Games". It was talking about a competition that is held every year in a different parts of the world. Due to this reading all that I could think of is searching up more stuff like that so that way when I become a teacher I will be able to take my kids to competitions and field trips like that, and give them an unforgettable life experience that hopefully they will mention in their senior project. Overall, I love my senior year and everything and everyone that is apart of it this year. I have great ideas and plans for my future and I just can not wait until it starts!
