My winter break was great! I went to go visit my family in Las Vegas for Christmas and got some quality time with everyone. We spend a whole day baking and making treats for everyone. They loved their presents and treats, it was a really great christmas. I got a few gifts and a few things for my partner. She helped me make my first skateboard and bought me all of the parts herself. It’s a cruiser and it rides really smooth, but I still need to hold onto her or else I feel like I might fall It's a pretty funny sight.
Now looking back to my first semester, I love how excited I was to begin my senior year and all of my new classes. I mainly regret falling behind a little and having a hard time getting into the groove of my work. I wish I had tried harder to fully understand what I needed for my senior year. I would have less of a chance of messing anything up and worrying about finishing or fixing the things I need now. I have changed a class from this semester to give me more help in catching up so I may even finish the class early. I want to finish all of my assignments so I can work on my exit interview as soon as I can because I have many of those requirements still missing.
I need to do a performance for drama and finish an essay even though I do hope my drama teacher will not grade me too harshly. The reality of last semester has hit me really hard because there is only so much time left before I graduate and become an adult. My parents never graduated high school and my older sister dropped out as well so I will be the first in my family. It is a lot of pressure because I don’t want to become a disappointment to them. They are so excited to see me walk and make something out of my life and not settle for less like they did. I already see myself getting out of school and it is very scary because I am so used to being here and coming to my classes and having this schedule. It’s going to be such a big difference in my life and it is reality. All I can hope for is that everything will work out in the end as long as I work hard and stop procrastinating so much. I still need to prepare my exit interview and do all I need to for when I present. I need to stay on pace on all of my classes so I may graduate and walk. I am focused and I'm going to fight through this.
The main thing I need to focus on is getting all of my credits for my graduation. My college applications are going great. I just need to get my FAFSA in as fast as I can so I can get my financial aid when I start school. I have been doing my best to get my driver's license because I already have my own car and I have tried to get a job in Lindsay but with so much competition and not knowing many people to help me get a job I have been unsuccessful. By getting my license I can go work in a further town where there are more available jobs that I can potentially get. I am hoping to get one before I graduate or at least before I start college in the fall.
