It hasn’t been so long since my senior year started and I could already feel that it is not going to be an easy year. Although I believe that I am able to go through it by pushing myself into facing all the challenges that are to come. Keeping in mind that I have a class that i need to finish from my junior year. US History is the subject that I still need to work on. And I realize that I am not quite on pace to graduating because of this, but I believe in myself that I have the potential to catch up by working hard. Also this year will be challenging for me due to the hard classes I am currently enrolled in. These are: Chemistry, Trigonometry, English, Government, Economy and Psychology plus CNA being one more class from the regular 7 classes that all students take in a high school year, plus the class of my junior year that I didn’t complete. This sounds a lot of work that I will have to do but even though this is going to be a challenging year for me having all these hard classes I will never give up on them. Right now I am working on my first journal for my senior project, I find this interesting because it makes me think back and remember the things I went through in the past. This year in looking forward to the day where I could finally say, “I did it!” and feel free of stress. Another thing I am looking forward to is learning more about the college and university applications. My goals this year are to do my job shadow, go back and complete the class that I didn’t finish my junior year. Also to stay on pace and complete all my classes on time this year. In order to do this I must consider the fact that I have to stay focus at all times and even giving up some of my personal time to dedicate it on my school work. I still remember last year when some teachers told us the students that this year was going to be a busy and not so easy year to complete. Now as a senior I am starting to understand why they used to tell us that. I could already feel the stress of all my class work and all the things I have to do in each class. Considering that the year has barely started and I already feel this. Although I am starting to feel the stress I will never give up because my goal is to reach the target. So I will keep my head up at all times and believe in myself that I could do it because giving up is not on my list. I will strive until the day comes where I will have the diploma in my hands and go out into the real world as a proud cardinal!
