Junior Reflective Essay
Tony Robbins once said, “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible”. This essay directly correlates with that quote. Through this reflective essay, I will be reevaluating goals that I have previously set, and showing the creation of new goals for the future. This essay in itself will assist me in laying out these goals for myself, as well as reflecting on what I have done this year, who I am as a learner, and where I see myself going in the future.
Throughout junior year, I have been able to better define myself. I have been able to see not only what I value in myself, but also in others. I have realized in this past year that I value free-thinkers and independent personalities. My favorite hobbies include horseback riding, skiing, and creating change in the world. I am not fond of working, but I have realized that it is a necessary evil. I define myself as a hard worker and someone who enjoys working towards my goals, as opposed to just having things handed to me in life.
This year, I have struggled in things I have never really struggled in before. I have encountered challenges in math specifically, as well as my two AP classes,

My short term goals for the next year or so include continuing working at Market Basket (at least until I am 18 and able to work elsewhere). I will be taking AP Psychology and AP World History next year, which I feel I will enjoy immensely. Also, I obviously plan to complete high school and move forward to a university. My long term goals are to attend a university where I will complete my bachelor’s degree and move forward towards a graduate program. After that, I would like to have a steady job for a couple years after graduation before starting a family of my own. Between all of those events, I would love to travel the world more than I previously
I cant believe that I am finally a senior in high school it seems just like yesterday I was beginning high school. As I begin my final year I am beginning to realize that this year I will be faced with many responsibilities and will make tons of memories. But I hope that I am able to make my senior year the best yet. Through this final year I hope to have passing grades in all of my classes, to win pep rallies, and to have perfect attendance.
Some of the goals this year is to get good grades on most of the subjects. What I will do to accomplish that is I will listen in class and study for more than one day. Something I’ve done right I want to continue doing is to read a lot of books and writing excellent essays. I also want to do better in Social Studies. I will do this by studying history facts every week.
Your senior year was a wild, crazy mess. You started off the year not wanting to go to school to see Karson because you couldn’t handle it. You even left school some days when he would show up. You let your dumb self try again with Karson and it failed. You got hurt, and even cried.... A lot. You meet the love of your life, Kyle, and still talk to him even though you guys aren’t together right now. You both hope to reconnect after you finish your second year of college. Keep talking to him, don’t let him get away from you. You have had it tough this year, but by the end of the year you didn’t let anything affect you. Your grades were A’s and B’s all year. You made some amazing new friends like, Chandler, Clayton Ecker, Collin and more boys
Junior High is a scary thought. You are little and going to school with the big kids. It wasn’t to bad after I got used to it.
Coming from being a junior in high school to now being a senior. Senior in high school is going to be one of the most favorite and scariest parts of my life. Everyone says that it is one of the biggest part of your life. They say senior year will be one of my favorite memories. My expectations for high school amounts to worrying about deadlines for my high school projects, everyone asking about where I will be attending college, and trying to figure out what I am going to do with the rest of my life.
Sophomore year had ended, and my summer had just begun. After a long wait to gain permission to go on a backpacking trip. My father gave me the approval. I took my love for the outdoors and began to explore it even more.
If someone ask me what is my favorite memories in high school for now. I’ll says that is my sophomore year. Because sophomore year is the year that changed my mind and my life, the year that I meet my awesome friend and everyone look at me a different way and here is what happened to my sophomore year.
My senior year is coming to an end, high school is pretty much over. With the finish line quickly approaching, I reflect on all the things I’ve done in these past four years and, more importantly, all the things I did not do in the past four years that I probably should have. In retrospect, I never did feel like high school was going to be where the best time of my life would be remembered, but now that it’s pretty much over I think maybe I should have treated it like it was. I would love to be able to say there is nothing I didn’t do that I wanted to and that I didn’t have any regrets, but there is a fair share of both. When I think too much about the end, I get sentimental about the experiences, friends, laughs, awkward moments, and more.
Sophomore year is going to get tougher as you go on, but there will be many room to have fun, like the assemblies. Dont give in to video games, like last year. I will not play League of Legends or any other games until I finish my homework and studies. My days of being a procrastinator master is over. Remember back when you stayed up till 3:00 studying or doing a project at the last minute. Doing everything the day they are assigned makes your life more stress free. I wouldn’t be tired and have a mood swing while doing my homework, and then sleep for a few hours, and waking up feeling like poo.
As I am entering my senior year everyone has told me to make sure and slow down because it will be over before I know it. This year I want to learn how to build a strong support group for my emotional well being and grow closer with new people. I am striving to try and make the most of my senior year, so God will prepare me for the upcoming years.
Sophomore year in general has been treacherous . Now it's become harder trying to manage work while studying for finals, Eoc and keeping up with work. Nowadays, I find myself wishing to be back in elementary school. A memory that has been engraved to the deepest part of my brain is one of my teachers telling me of the importance of flushing and cleaning up after the mess that I create. I can’t believe that I once thought that elementary school was difficult. Let’s ignore the fact that my English wasn’t that good in elementary school, now that I’m actually reflecting on the time that I spent in elementary school, I can truly see how simple everything was. For example, I had to write my weekly vocabulary words thrice. But, this is the real world. We aren’t given the chance to go back in time just because we wish to relive certain periods of our lives.
“Time flies by when you’re having fun”, I never thought this quote would mean so much to me until now. This quote was repeated constantly my junior year and now I realize the true meaning of it. All the years I’ve spent in school have led up to this point, my senior year. As my last year in high school begins, and soon ends, I have a lot of decisions to make, and goals to set. Keeping high grades, going to FBLA nationals, and making my teachers proud are a few of my senior goals.
Senior Year… A beautiful ending to some of the longest, hardest, and most difficult years I will ever have to face. Well at least until my senior year of college. It feels like forever since I first step foot in the high school in my hometown. I started this long journey at Columbia City High School as a freshman and sophomore. Then, for my junior year, I chose to study dance. Having a year off of my education was pretty stressful, but it was the best option for me at the time, and I definitely do not regret it. For my senior year, I found Marion High School. MHS has a partnership with Community School for the Arts, giving me many opportunities through my academics and arts.
That makes it hard to breathe. That summer, the instructors and the upperclassmen put the cadets through physical tests that test their problem solving and leadership skills. His first ride in a military jet was during his freshman year. He flew in a Lockheed T-33 (109-115). The summer before his sophomore year, he went through survival training. It was called SERE training, which stood for “survival, evasion, resistance, and escape.” It was designed to teach them skills if they were captured, how to not be captured, and just basic survival skills. By sophomore year, Sully realized how all of the skills he had learned helped him mature. His sophomore year, Sully got an outstanding amount of flying experience and instruction. He signed up to
I have accepted that not everything will turn out the way I want them to but I am going to move forward my senior year and make the best of it. I wish I could have improved myself and experienced more during my past three years of high school but now I know that I have the ability to be greater than what I limited myself to. The drive was always there, I just did not know how to embrace it. All that I want to accomplish overwhelms me but in order to achieve these long term goals, I have started taking the steps to change the way I see myself and accept that I am not perfect, but perfection is over rated. This fierce desire of excelling in my profession and aspiring to be a philanthropist excites me. I know I cannot change my past but I am not going to let it determine my future. I do not have it all figured out, but I am holding on to my faith and hope of a much fulfilling future. It is never too late to make a difference, not only in myself, but in the
