I have been waiting for this moment for many years now, I have always wondered what it felt like being a senior in high school. Now that I’m one I feel the stress coming upon me. I must admit that I was nervous and kind of scared of being a senior because I never really take school seriously and now I kind of have too if I want to graduate. But I believe in myself and I know that I could do this.
The only difference about being a senior now is that I can’t slack off like all my other school years and put aside my work till the last minute because if I do there is a chance I will not graduate. Not only that but I have to really enjoy my last year in high school because many of the people I know now I may not ever see again so I have to enjoy my year to the fullest and spend some good times with all my close friends and make memories that will last a lifetime. But to do that I must stay on pace with my teachers and do my work in class that way I will have my weekends free to enjoy and that way by the end of the school year I will not be all stressed out about having to catch up and being afraid of not graduating.
For first period I have T.A (teachers assistant). I am Mr. Gutierrez’s T.A he is a spanish teacher I chose to be his T.A because he is a really nice man and a lot of kids on campus love him and also because he was my teacher last year and I really like the way he teaches and treats his students. Most students on campus don’t just see him as just a teacher but also as someone who they can go to for advice. I like being his T.A because I don’t really sit around in his class how some T.A’s usually are because their teachers don’t have nothing for them to do. I also like being his T.A because he is a really busy person so I am constantly helping him get things done so time goes by really fast in that class because most of the time he has something for me to do and if not I work do work for my other classes while I wait for him to tell me to do something. For second period I have government. I don’t really like this class because it’s freezing cold in there and I sit where the air hits the most so most of the time I can’t even concentrate because I’m too cold. But other than that I like this class because I like learning about our government and how things are ran even though it’s not my best subject and I find it a bit confusing. For third period I have physiology this is part of my pathway so I have to take this class whether I want to or not but I don’t mind because I love this class. My pathway is the medical field therefore this class helps me learn a lot about the human body and how it’s structured and formed and how it works. I really like this class because this is something that I find interesting and something that will help me in the future when I want to become a registered nurse since that’s one of the jobs I have in mind for when I grow up. For fourth period I have trigonometry. This is a class that I am really worried about because I think I don’t have the math skills to pass it. I chose this class because I’ve always had a math class since elementary school so I feel as if it would be really weird to not have a math class so that’s why I took it. I also took this class because I like being challenged and I know this class is difficult so it’s a good challenge for me. Although this class is going to take a lot of time out of my part because I’m going to have to really focus and study in order to pass it, I’m going to put all my effort into it so that I can pass it and be really proud of myself. For fifth period I have english. This is my least favorite subject I hate it because I am not good at it and it’s always been my weakness. But since it’s a class I need in order to graduate I have to take it, I don’t have a choice. For sixth period I have spanish 3. I really like this class because I know spanish pretty well and I find this class easy plus the teacher is really nice. For seventh period I have physics this is another hard challenging class for me because I am not good with measurements and finding the speeds, velocities, distances, and etc of things. It’s also really challenging for me because measurements have never been my thing. Measurements are another one of my weaknesses and this whole class is about measuring things and changing one measurement to another. I am already struggling in this class very much and it has barely started therefore I know it’s just going to get worse but I believe I can pass this class if I stay focused because my teacher Mr. Coles is a really good teacher at explaining things. For eighth period I have CNA (certified nurse assistant) this is also part of my pathway. This is a class that I will be taking after school two times a week most likely. The first semester is all book work like taking tests and knowing the basic things about being a CNA and getting us prepared for second semester. Second semester we will be hands on training with patients from Lindsay Gardens which I am really excited for because I love helping people and because this class is going to prepare me for the future because I want to be some type of nurse when I get older just haven’t decided what kind. This class is going to take a lot of my time because after eight hours of being in school I have like a one hour break before I go back into a classroom for more hours. I know it’s going to be really difficult because usually I am already sick and tired of school after eight hours and now knowing that I am going to be stuck in a classroom for more hours I am going to be really exhausted most of the time and I am not going to really have time to do fun things I usually would do after school. Therefore, I have to stay on pace with school work because I'm not going to have a lot of time to work on school work outside of school.
In the end, this school year is by far going to be the most stressful year I’ve ever had due to my challenging classes and CNA because I am so used to having a lot of spare time to work on school work after school because I didn’t have CNA but now I have to get used to my new schedule and fit time for everything like studying for tests, doing homework, and free time since I'm not going to have everyday of the week free after school anymore. Therefore, this school year is going to be really difficult for me.
