I have to admit I do feel nervous about graduation because my final year of high school is coming to an end and I feel so much pressure and stress. There is still a lot to finish with little time. I think to myself this is the moment I’ve been waiting for, but then again what’s next? Since the first day of senior year, I still do to this what if I don’t graduate? But I try not to keep that question in my head because there are so many things I have planned for in my future with a diploma. I already have made some preparations that I’ve made for post high school plans. I also will definitely make sure to obtain my driver’s license then get a car of my own in order to have better transportation for work and school. I’ve applied for many jobs during the summer and last semester but most good paying jobs require the age 18, I am still currently 17 years old, that is why I can’t wait until the 15th of June. I’m still applying for colleges hoping to attend either one to get an high education.
So far I’ve done what I can do for now, I have accomplished many of goals in the past to get caught up in all my classes. However, there is plenty of more coming that needs to be done. I have been working on my website and I have my Exit Interview scheduled for March 15th. Therefore, I know what I have to complete, and I know what i need to practice on. In regards of my Exit Interview, I am still somewhat nervous. I try not to overthink my interview, if I do I noticed it seems to cause more nerves. Staying relaxed and practice is all I need, I keep telling myself it will be simple that way I gain enough confidence.
Every senior is looking forward to graduation, Lindsay is known as a small town, but there’s more than what we’re exposed to everyday. Looking back to my senior year as of right now, I have changed, I have learned, I have struggled, but I have accomplished many of my goals, my MAIN goal is to strive from now on. Overall, I feel like all my four years here at Lindsay High went by in a wink of an eye, but I learned each year. Most seniors including myself can’t believe it has come to an end, now on to the next. I want to say appreciate all the motivation from many of my teachers, and counselors through all my years here at Lindsay High School. I have to say I’m most grateful for my whole family supporting me as well.

The last three weeks of winter break are finally over, to me those weeks felt like they flew by quicker than my past years here at Lindsay High School. I really did enjoy the vacation though I spent a lot of time with my family and a couple of my friends. Especially on Christmas Day that is the day I was waiting for and the day I enjoyed the most. Instead of getting a gift wrapped in a box I was in Oakland with my whole family at the Oakland Raiders vs San Diego Chargers game. As you can see I’m an Oakland Raiders fan, I mean to rub it into any Charger fans but Oakland won! That was a gift from both of my parents and I really appreciated it.
Looking back on last semester I have to admit nothing much has changed. One thing that bothered me the most was not being able to play football because of my grades I thought I was really trying hard enough, but I guess not I regret not trying harder. The fact that this is my last semester it really has hit me this year has felt the quickest out of all my years here. Looking back to freshman year to now and knowing that I’m months away from graduating my high school years never felt this fast until now. Elders that I’ve known were right when they said senior year will fly by quicker than any other year. I hope to make as many memories as I can before I graduate in order to make this year memorable.
Math is one of the toughest and most challenging subjects for me but since I took that subject for summer school it really did help me out a lot. I also still need a couple of assignments to finish up for Government, but i am not stressing much on it due to the fact that I am almost done with them. Before this semester is over and before graduating my plan is to be to accomplish on finishing all of my English work. I have double blocked English so hopefully that will give me enough time and help to finish up. I do feel confident about my other classes though. Once I get my website up to date I believe I have everything required in order to graduate.
I am determined to do what it takes to graduate High School. I have applied to COS. I have registered for classes and I am still in the process of completing my financial aid. I turn 18 years old after graduation as soon as that happens I plan on getting my driver’s license. I believe most startup jobs ask that question first. Therefore I will not be a full time student I would rather work and go to school at the same time. I have taken whatever possible steps I could do in order to make life after High School less stressful. I’m curious to go out on my own and see where I’ll end up in life.

As the school year has moved forward I realized senior year is harder than I thought. The amount of stress that I am having is beyond compare to that of any stress that I’ve ever had. I have been staying up late working on essays, projects and other assignments that are not completed, I am doing whatever it takes to stay on pace so I can be able to graduate with everyone else. I am still behind on a couple of classes from my past years and to catch up on credits that is why I’m still enrolled in night school and staying after school every day. Sense I need two courses of night school, my goal is to get those finished as soon as possible while at the same time catching up on other classes by the end of the semester.
I’m struggling on Math and English, but I am still trying my hardest to get those assignments done before this semester is over. I even took summer school for Math even though it is the toughest subject for me but I still accomplished a couple of Mts. I’m still catching up on Math and English because I still have some 11B that I did not finish last year. Time is flying by quick I say this because my classes are just going to get harder and harder and graduation will soon be there before I expect it I just know. I been trying to get enough sleep that way in the mornings I will be wide awake in every class. It’s really hard for me to be off my phone I get easily distracted too so I put it in my backpack that way I won't be tempted to grab it when it vibrates. I will maintain myself on track with every single thing. I have to point this out Government is stressing there are so many facts that I need to remember it’s a little tough but I am going to try my best that way I won't have to worry about it once I move onto Economics.
So far, this year has turned out to be EXACTLY the way other graduates said it would be like. This year is full of stress with a really tight schedule. The way my senior year is turning out, the stress and the tiredness was very much unexpected. But that does not mean I will not give up, I am not a quitter. I will will continue with the battle to finish what I must do in order to stay on pace in all my classes. I’m doing all I can to stay stable through all of these tough times. What I’ve been through was unexpected, but so is my future that is why I must never give up. My whole family are supportive when it comes to live after high school so I will will reach the future I was destined to have.

Senior year has officially started meaning that from now on everything will change. It is the beginning of the school year and already the pressure of graduating or not graduating has made me feel anxious about whether I may finish on time. Many of my teachers have been assigning a lot of work but I am not trying to fall behind. Throughout my high school career math was always difficult. As of right now I am currently behind in that subject but I will try my hardest and complete that class in time for graduation. Due to the fact that I did not complete multiple classes I am now enrolled in night school to catch up on credits and staying after school everyday to catch up on behind pace work. I am glad to be back at school , one reason why I enjoy being at school is because it keeps me busy and away from trouble. Even though school can be very tough I know it will pay off on my years ahead.
Over summer I was currently hitting the gym, hung out with a lot of friends and spent a lot time with my family traveling. We went to Pismo Beach and stayed a week for the 4th of July, while we were there we barbequed and rode quads most of the time. Now that I am back at school I will try my best, over summer I told myself I will become an individual if I have to in order to become successful. My previous high school years I have had my ups and down but in my opinion what matters is that I made it threw. My junior year was the year I felt had the biggest impact on what I think of school and myself. I will attempt to try really hard to stay on pace or completing my senior project on time, hopefully that goes well. If I meet my goals before senior graduating ceremony it would really be a nice experience to be there with my classmates and celebrate our hard work together. The goals I am determined to meet this year are more important to me now because each day that passes by is a day closer to graduation. In high school there’s a difference between junior high and high school. The reason I say this is because in high school it matters and junior high was just the beginning experience of high school. As a senior I’ve noticed that every senior needs to strive for success. The first month of my senior year it hit me right away there’s work that has to be done. This year is going to be full of homework and time after school for staying on pace. This might be the hardest years due to homework and it’s all going to be worth it when I graduate and walk to get my diploma. I want to make my parents proud of me I will give my best effort. I will show them that I really want to be someone in life. I want to be successful in life; therefore I’m going to work really hard throughout this year my parents always encouraged me to take challenges and to always learn something from them. I understand that this year will be difficult but as I mentioned my parents taught me to take every single challenge as a new opportunity to learn, and my senior year will not be an exception.
