Journal 2
Since my first journal entry a few things have changed. I am now close to ending my first semester of senior year. Also, I am now working on completing all first semester MT’s and preparing myself for the next one. Senior year is really going by fast and it's been a challenge keeping up with it. In my first journal entry I was still undecided on what to study for in college. However, after so much thinking and researching I have made my decision. Since I really enjoy helping others and care for their well being, I am very excited to become a social worker. As a social worker I am able to serve people as counseling, therapy or education, as well as connecting people to appropriate public or private resources.
The first semester is a few days away from ending and being a senior with a lot of goals set means no time to waist. With one week remaining from the semester, I am close to finishing all my classes and getting all work done. Like any other student would, I’ve had trouble completing assignments due to more practice. However, I know my teachers and counselors are always there to help and support me. To finish the semester all I have left to complete are a couple of quizzes and EOT’s. I am also spending some days every week to look and sign up for scholarships.
At the beginning of senior year I was very nervous of starting my senior project. I was very confuse on how to set my weebly page and learning how to use everything in it. Even Though the english teachers are doing great by helping me, I have to admit that the most challenging part is still getting my senior project well organized and ready to share. On the other hand, there is things I really like about this project. I like the fact that I get to share wonderful memories made at Lindsay High School. Overall this year has been great. Im enjoying my last year to the fullest. This year
I have been spending a lot of time signing up for colleges and spending time with friends I might not see again after the year is over. I am very excited for the senior events like the senior sunrise, prom, grad night and so on.
So far I have planned on attending College of the Sequoias. I have applied for this college because I have friends and relatives that have studied in this college and it was great. Also, since I come from a single parent family, my mother needs a lot of help with payments and other things which don't allow me to go far away from her. I also signed up for COS scholarship and i'm hoping to get it. At this moment I am also looking for jobs I can get while attending college. I know I must get a part time job that can allow me to still have time to study and help my mother. Going through all requirements of senior year and colleges can sometimes get frustrating. However I know I am not alone and that I have all support from family, teachers and counselors to finish this year strong and meet my goals for a better life after high school.
