Becoming a Senior
So far, my senior year has been difficult. It has been difficult, because of all the work you have to get turned in, before the end of the semester, mostly in my Economics class. That one is the most difficult, for me, because there is a lot of homework assigned, and there is a deadline, which doesn’t give enough time to do the homework. Sometimes though, the teacher does give us extended time to work on the homework, and turn it in.
In my senior year, I am in the middle of finishing up my behind pace classes, from last year, like U.S. History, Geometry, and English 11. For U.S. History, I am so close to finishing the last measurement topic, so I can move onto another class I am behind in. For geometry, it’s the same, but I need two measurement topics to finish. I also need to complete my job shadow for my English class, which I have not done yet.
From the last time I talked with my counselor, I am on pace in four out of seven of my classes, which is somewhat bad. I think I am not on pace, because I have friends in some of my classes, so I talk to them, and forget about the work that I’m supposed be working on sometimes. Another reason, is because sometimes, the work handed out is difficult to understand, even when I ask for help. The main reason being, I get distracted easily with anything, especially with my phone,and when people talk to me or ask me questions non school related.
For my senior project, I am currently working on finishing the first two journal entries, so that I can post them on my website, and finish and post anything else I haven’t finished. For example, I still need to do my job shadow, and on my website, I need to work on the pathway tab, and i still need to post the Life Map on it. Other than those few things, I don’t think that I have a lot of stuff left to do anymore. I think I also need to do a resume, and post it to my website, but doing a resume is not that difficult. The most difficult thing to do, I think, is the Job Shadow, because you have to look for someone to job shadow, and sometimes people are only available during school hours.
The exciting part, is getting to tell about my experience at school, and at home. Not many people like talking about their personal lives, but I don’t really mind if people know about my life, because I don’t like to keep stuff like that in, I like to let it out sometimes. Rather than keeping it in, I’m allowing people to read about my personal life, and how I dealt with the bad times. Another exciting part, is getting to share my interests with others as well as knowing what other people like doing on their spare time at home, or even just after school.
