It’s frightening to think that in a few weeks my senior year is going to be over and I will be graduating. I am closing a chapter in my life and going to start a new one. I am very scared and frightened but yet excited to go out into the real world. I am very excited to graduate because finally I will actually go to school to study something that I like not something that I have to learn because it’s mandatory. I am also excited because I want to become a nurse already and get a job and feel independent. I am frightened because once you go out to college you're basically on your own out there. There is no one who is going to tell you you need to complete this, you need to sign up for this, etc. you just have to be well informed and get your stuff done so you don’t miss out on a good deal. I am also excited about college because I want to feel like an adult and be taken seriously. Also because people say that your college years are usually the best years of your life and I really want to experience that and meet new people.
I have yet not made a decision of which college to attend fall semester of 2016. I am currently debating on either attending Fresno State or Porterville College. The reason for that debate is because I feel that if I go to Fresno State I will be struggling financially and if I go here to Porterville College I will be financially stable and it will just be easier because my older brother and sister are going there so they can help me if I need anything. Also because I feel like I would be way less stressed if I go to Porterville College because we live near it so I wouldn’t have to go rent a place to live I could just stay at home and be going to college and because I would probably be able to buy a car faster with the financial aid they give me unlike if I go over there I am going to have to rent a place, find a job, be going in the bus to get around, and just be stressed about bills and school work.
Looking back to my four years in high school I learned to not procrastinate in the future or else I won’t get anywhere in college. I really enjoyed my high school years I just wish I would’ve cherished them more. I have little regrets about my high school years but overall I did enjoy them alot with my friends even though once I barely moved here I didn’t know anyone, I even got to meet a lot of great new people that I hope I stay in touch with. A teacher that has helped me throughout all of this is Mr. Gutierrez. I am so grateful I met him my junior year when I was in his class for Spanish 1. If I would’ve never had him as a teacher I would’ve been completely lost right now. He has helped me a lot he helped me apply to colleges, complete my FAFSA, complete my Cal Grant, complete my Web Grant, my recommendation letters, apply to EOP, and has helped me call some college campuses if there is an issue with my applications. He is one of my favorite teachers another teacher that has really helped me is Mr. Smith he helped me get my hours I needed to graduate and I am thankful for that or else I would be struggling to complete my 20 hours of community service right now. Another person I am grateful for is my mom she is very supportive about what my decision will be even if she doesn’t want me to leave the house.
Overall I am really excited about graduating and just everything in general.
