My senior year so far has been pretty good and fun i enjoy most of the classes I have and the teachers I have for them. I've had some major obstacles one was when my grandpa passed away this really affected me because we were so close for weeks i couldn't do much i couldn't think straight not only did it affect me but my whole family. I was devastated and i didn't know how to react to things i've never been through something this big and it was really taking its toll on me. Ive managed to overcome this with support from family,friends, and teachers. Being able to go through something so hard and coming back and getting my head straight i know i can make it through anything it really feels good being here and being apart of this school that's so supportive.
I'm starting off behind pace on most of my classes which is not good at all the only person i can blame and is responsible for this is me. There's a big possibility that i don't walk and graduate on time with all my fellow classmates and letting my whole family down. Im off pace because last year I slacked off and didn't do the work i was suppose to do. I feel ashamed and disappointed in myself because so many people told me to get my stuff together and all i did was ignore them and continue to think it was a joke when all they were trying to do is help. All those times i did nothing in class and just talk and mess around is coming back and making it difficult. This is really gonna make it a rough and stressful time for me because i'm going to have to stay after school most of the days to catch up and be on pace in my classes. I know that if put the effort it's gonna be all worth the time and the hassle at the end but this is only if i work hard.
Im currently working on my journal 1 assignment for my senior project. Something exciting about my senior project is talking about myself and all the struggles in life that i've came upon on. It's interesting because talking about everything that has happened to me it really makes me stop and think about life and how far i've made it but i wouldn't of made it this far without the support of my family.
Something i'm looking forward to is being apart of new things meeting new people and finally being done with school.
My goals for this year is to catch up on all my work and classes that i've fallen behind on. My goals for the future is to get a job in law enforcement i really want to be a cop for the city of lindsay. I'm gonna work really hard on becoming a police officer because i wanna do good for this community that i've been apart of for so long.

Since my last journal entry i've finished a couple assignments but also have gotten behind in some. I'm not doing any better in school and falling even more behind than i was. I've tried staying after school for math and also for the required classes for night school but it's not enough.
I'm not doing good in my classes because i'm behind in work. I would always say i'm gonna do the assignment after school when i go home but i would never commit to that. I would try to but after about 30 minutes in i would zone out and not complete anything at all. I would get bored and instead of doing work i would watch tv or go out with friends and fall more and more behind. My mom would always tell me do your work first and then after if you wanna go out you can but i never listen i was very stubborn and never liked people telling me what to do or when to do it. I have stayed a couple days after school and i have made some progress but it's not enough i need to really focus and do work at home as well.
I still need to finish many things for all my classes before the semester ends. There so much work piled up that i never finished and i'm starting to feel overwhelmed. Its starting to feel like its not possible to get back on track.
Some difficulties i'm having with my senior project is my job shadow i still don't know what i'm gonna do i was thinking that maybe i can job shadow a barber here in town. Another is thinking about things to write for my journals it sounds easy just writing about yourself but it really makes u think about things or sometimes your mind just goes blank and you can't really think about anything.
Something that i'm enjoying about my senior project is expressing how i feel and what's going on in my life. Things i've enjoyed so far from my senior year is hanging out with friends and meeting new people. I enjoy school rallies because they are exciting and fun.
Some steps i have taken to prepare for post graduation is applying to colleges two that i have applied to is COS and PC. Ive also have tried looking for jobs close to home.
I feel very supported for post graduation friends, family and teachers have showed so much support to have me graduate and be ready for life. Some teachers that have really helped me is Mr. Wood and Mr. Dussan in my math work that i struggle in. Ms. Mc on my history that i was behind on and my econ work without her i wouldn't be able to finish. Mr. Britten has also helped me alot with this senior project and my english work. Im thankful to have so much people around me that care for me and want to see me do good and be successful in life.

High school so far has been good but very stressful. There's been some ups and downs some at home and outside of school and others because of school it's not all bad i've had some great times here at this school. Something that's been really great this year is that i've met a lot of new people and new teachers. I've took some different classes this year and it's been turning out really good. One rough and heart breaking moment in my life was when my grandpa passed away. It was such a hard time for me because me and my grandpa were really close when he passed away a big part of me died trying to be strong for all of younger cousins making sure they were ok when i wasn't even ok was a big challenge because all i wanted to do was break down and cry.
One of the most memorable moments i've had here at lhs was my senior year at the rally when the some of the teachers kissed the goat. This was a memorable moment for me because i thought it was funny and disgusting at the same time. Another memorable moment was when i was in Ms. koch class when a chief came and did a cooking presentation in front of the whole class and after she made us sushi and we got to try it. Something that i was interested here at this school was a guitar class that i took here my junior year it really got me more interested into music and opened up my eyes to the beauty of it and all the different instruments. One activity that really helped me out was red zone. Red zone is a after school program were u stay for about thirty minutes to do work and get assignments done it also helped with getting a membership to the mcdermond gym where you can work out and get your body in shape if you play any sports.
I plan on going to a barber school in order to become a barber and maybe open up a barber shop with my friend that has the same plan as me. I don't plan for this barber job to be my main career this will only be a side job for the moment.
The career i want to start and proceed in life is a police officer i plan on going into the police academy and getting the training i need to make this possible.
I hope i keep going on and try and do better in school to get my high school diploma

I am so nervous about graduating because there's a high possibility that i'm not going to graduate. I'm low on credits and extremely behind in my classes. Time is going by so fast and it's stressful i try staying after school to do work even that might not save me from not graduating. Im worried that im gonna let my whole family down by not graduating. They always told me that it has to be me to graduate because my older brothers never graduated. So much pressure from my mom and brothers is really stressing me out even more and making everything harder. Some times i feel like just quitting everything and leaving all this stress behind and not having to worry about any of this school stuff. So many times i've thought about that but then i realized how much even harder it would be without a high school diploma to get a job anywhere. Everywhere now and days they ask for a high school diploma doesn't matter how big or how small the job is. Having my high school diploma will make things so much easier i will be able to find a decent job to support myself and family.
Some preparations that i have taken is applying to COS and PC. Ive also tried looking for jobs and have taken time to look into requirements to be a police officer.
There's so much that needs to be done and time is really running out quick. I still need to finish geometry and its the one subject i hate the most. I also need to catch up on some work that i need for english. I need to finish economics as well there's so much work that still needs to be done. Not to mention work from my art class but i actually enjoy and get a lot of work done from my art class i've always liked doing creative activities. Another class i still need some work in is cooking class i do well when cooking but it's all the paperwork that i need to be on pace i've completed some here and there but i'm still missing some as well.
Something i'm looking forward to is finally being done with school and not having to stress about it. Even though after high school i'm still planning on going to college. I'm excited to finally be out in the real world doing things on my own and making my own decisions about things it's kinda scary though if you think about it no more messing around being grown being responsible doing things all by yourself. It's going to be a big change but i feel like it's gonna be a good one.
Looking back at my senior year there's a lot of positive and negative things that have happened there's been some ups and downs but i've managed to hang on and i'm really glad to be here. Im grateful that i've made it this far without giving up and i'm grateful for all the people that have supported me through my rough times.
