As the date for graduation is coming closer I am starting to get very nervous because it still surprises me that I am a senior and that I am going to graduate very soon. It all going by so fast and I still remember the first day of school like it was yesterday. However, it just means that I need to stay on pace and on top of all of my classes, so that I can pass them all with the grade I want. The preparation that i have taken so far for graduation is that i am slowly preparing myself for college and even the real world. I am learning what steps I need to take to be very successful in my future education and career. I have also applied to many csu and uc's and right now the only one that has announced my acceptance is Fresno state. I am so glad that I had a college that accepted into their university, however I am still waiting for the responses of the other colleges. The things that I still need to do at this point is just work hard in my classes and do other things for college such as apply for scholarships.
The thing that I am looking forward to the most is the rest of the experiences that I am going to have at LHS. There is pretty much only one semester of the year left so I want to make the best of it. I want work my hardest and make the greatest memories that I can with the rest of my time here at LHS. This is the year where you can do everything in highschool for the last time and i know that I will miss it very much when I graduate. I am grateful for all the things that i got to do at LHS.I love how I got to join clubs, do sports and really be apart of this school. I got to be involved in many things at this school. It makes me so happy that I get to be included and help out LHS. Also with being involved, I got to learn many new things that I never knew before. Lindsay High School had taught me so many skills such as how to be a leader, work in a team , But also how to cook, draw, and use computer programs. I am so thankful for learning so much and I know that I will use this knowledge in the future.

Well so far my senior year had been pretty great. I have really gotten to enjoy my classes especially in leadership where I get to make spirit posters for the school and set up for each rally that is going on. I have enjoyed spending time at school events such as football games because I get to cheer our school on while making memories with my friends. I also like helping out with our clubs on campus during sports games and other events.Right now in my senior year I'm at a point where it hits me that I need to start applying to colleges such as CSUs, UCs and private colleges. However, the good thing is that I already did my fafsa and I am so lucky that our councilor makes time to help us with all of these confusing things we have to fill out for our colleges. Its also a very scary feeling to have when I know that I am going to graduate this year from Lindsay High School.
For my senior project I am currently working on my 4th and 5th journals for the end of my senior year and also posting lots of other things that I do at school on my website. The thing that has been interesting and fun about my project is that I get to reflect on everything that I have done for the past three years and it's crazy to think that it's coming to an end. The thing that I find the most fun is that we get to write about our experiences and memories that we have had and have them in one place where we can look back on them. The most fun that I have had with this project is that I get to create and personalize my own website how I want it to be. I can put pictures of me or of places that I have been or even things that I have done. Then I get to explain all of these things. To a group of panelists that get to hear about my experience in HIgh school. The thing that I am looking forward to most during my senior year is just all the memories and experiences that i'm going to have before I graduate.I am looking forward to having opportunities for me in highschool where I can participate, help, learn new things and give ideas. The goals that I have this year are that I want to finish strong with all of my classes by staying on top of my work. By staying on pace it will keep me in focus to complete this senior year the best way that I can. High school so far had been pretty good. Even though there were some lows;there were also many highs. Some things that were not enjoyable about high school was how much time I had to put into doing homework for all of my classes. Also, this year I took my first ap class so it put more work on my plate. All of this work takes so much time and commitment that it has created so much stress and sleepless nights. I literally put my blood, sweat and tears into my school work. However, there are also many highs such as being able to learn new things, have fun with my friends and participate at school and the community. Some of the memorable moment that I have had so far was when I got to give back to the community by delivering food and presents to families in our community. FBLA collected the food and presents and I got to hand deliver them with the club to each of the families homes. Another memorable moment was when I got to make food for many events at school such as for football games. In my foods and hospitality class we get food for the varsity football team every friday in which they come an enjoy their dinner together. I always enjoy making food for other people and seeing that they like the food.The extracurricular activities that I am interested and am participating in is clubs like adventure club where we get to go on amazing trips throughout the year. I am also apart of Key club and i love how they provide us with lots the opportunities to help out the community of lindsay like toy giveaways and community clean ups. I also like being a part of my class because we get to plan events such as homecoming and prom. There are also many other things that I am interested in because i just enjoy helping a participating in many school activities.
This year has also made think about the future after high school. After highschool I plan to go to a college preferably a university. I'm not sure where I want to go yet but I know that I want to stay in the state of california. So, before I go to college I need to make sure that I am prepared for it by taking the SAT. If I take the SAT I can see what skills I am lacking in and so the second time I will be more prepared. Also to go to college I need to take 4 classes to finish the university track for high school. Also in thinking about the future I see myself being an Interior Designer and I know that it is something that I would really enjoy learning about when I go to college. I anticipate my highschool career to be very memorable and fun. I know that I might get stressed sometimes with school work but i know that sometimes I just need to calm down relax and enjoy the times that I have with my classmates before we graduate. |
