Too close to quit
Thinking back on the start of this school year it is hard to believe half of it has already passed. For me the first semester went good. Not only did I get the chance to catch up in English, I also was able to almost finish the first semester of twelfth grade English. During this semester I was also able to finish my fitness training class, wood shop project, and first semester of French Three with an overall grade of a four. Even though I accomplished a lot during the first semester there were some bad times. One of the worst times I had was leaving the high school soccer team. It was really hard because it is my senior year & I really wanted to play, but sometimes you have to adjust to difficult situations. Thankfully I did, and I was able to focus more on school. Leaving the team was hard, but it gave me the chance to do better in school. Another downside of the semester was that I was not able to finish the first semester of twelfth grade English completely. However, since I was behind pace in the beginning of the semester I’m proud to have almost finished it.
Before I graduate there is much I have to do. This includes my core classes and electives. Not only my classes but also I have to find a job. I do not see myself in the fields again after graduating high school. I want to live by myself able to take care for myself without the help from my parents. Living off minimum wage in the fields won’t allow me to have the lifestyle I would want after high school. I have planned my life carefully and chose specific things to meet my needs. Although I might not live by myself living with my big brother is close enough. Not only do we get along perfectly he is also a big support in me going to college and I know he is going to be a big help.
Now looking at the rest of the time that I have left at high school reality has hit me hard. It seems like just yesterday we came to school for the first day of the semester. All of a sudden it feels like the whole world just mounted on top of me to make me feel the pressure. I have thought about it but I don’t believe that time is going to affect my future a lot. This is because I already have three plans after high school. My primary plan is to go to college and major in criminology. In order to later become a police officer than maybe a detective. However, if that doesn't work I will study radiation therapy. My third and final plan is to go to C.O.S. to study and receive certification for automotive engine technician and brake technician. mechanics. I feel like my life after high school is planned out solidly enough to where I do not have to worry about it.
