Pursuing My Senior Year

My senior year has gone by so unbelievably quickly. It had been only four years ago when I first stood in front of the school a mere freshman. Throughout the years I gained a new experience that either made me a more global citizen or better prepared as an academic student. This year has been no exception and I feel ready enough for what’s ahead.

WOW!!! I am already a senior in highschool did that time go fast. Once this year is over i have to get in a mind set on furthering my education and going for my major.

When I was a little girl, I would always dream of being those famous celebrities on television. But I did not grew a desire for that. As I grew more and experience more things in life, I start having a desire of being a pediatrician. I also have a desire to travel the world and live in Atlanta for the rest of my life.

With a year full of hurdles I was set to overcome, senior year did not seem like the right time for me to defeat my dragon. My introverted qualities have grown tremendously over the course of my life due to traumatic events I have been forced to face on my own. Since adolescence, I have always been known as the “quiet girl” in the room. I always took this as a compliment, until recently, when I realized I was missing out on crucial events that would help prepare me for the future. Through careful consideration, I decided that senior year would be the ideal time to slay my dragon, introversion.

I am writing to give you some advice that I wish I had known coming into my senior year. To begin, Congratulations for successfully making it this far in your high school journey. For some, this experience flies by and is the best time of their lives. For others, the opposite is true; however, it is such a blessing to be able to say that you are on the track to graduation, and you may not realize it, but this year will be full of challenges that you may or may not choose to take on.

His shoulder was thrown in reverse and twisted, and left by his body which was driving forward almost completely leaving it behind. He jerked back as if the force would spring his arm back into place. Gravity took over his knees forcing them to buckle and hit the ground. Some might say he looked like newborn deer, fresh out the womb. His arm was left hanging with barely any support at all. His only support was his hand holding it closely to his side as if he could protect it from further harm. His arm looked like a gummy worm...except more flimsy. The adrenaline took over his body like a built in anesthesia, taking his mind off of the pain only for a short time. he didn 't even bother getting up as the other players scrambled to the huddle

“Senior year will fly by”-everybody. I never believed it until now. I’m three weeks deep into my senior year and

So far, my senior year has been pretty good. I’ve been maintaining my grades and turning things in on time. The start of my senior, to me, has been wonderful. The class I like the most is my first hour co-op class. The class is Culinary Arts. Anything involving food can keep me excited. I know it sounds bad saying that, but you can’t live without it.

Deadlines your senior year are the scariest part. Having to worry about making sure you get everything that you need to graduate high school. As a senior you are responsible for making sure you have everything you need for high school. I have

This is the same with my sophomore year. Last year English and Latin were my hardest classes. While I had low C’s in English and Latin, I held a B+ average in all of my other classes. My freshman year I did not really understand how important it was for me to get the upmost best grades I could, so I could get into a good college. Now that I am a junior, I have a better understanding on really how important it is to keep good grades. Already this year I have started off on a better foot; holding an 87% average. The better grades that I get now, the better off I will be for getting into the college that I would like to attend. Some changes that I have already made are: I am starting to make myself study every single night, even though the test might not be in the next few days. Farther into the school year I could make the changes of getting help from my teachers if I start falling behind. Furthermore, the new program at CBHS, MAS, is a mandatory class that is taken 3 times a week to help with my grade in any

As a nontraditional student as well as a Sophomore my goals as well as responsibilities are different from the typical student’s. As a father of three, including a six month old balancing my professional, academic, together with my personal life has been the most challenging aspect of returning to school.

Freshman Year and Senior Year are both very stressful years of high school. Freshman year I made new friends because I was at a new school with some new people. I also tried to make sure my grades stayed up because now that I’m in high school I have to start thinking what I want to do when I graduate, what college I want to go. I’ll have to keep my grades up now because I want to be able to get into a good college and I will be stressing out because I still don’t know what I want to do when I graduate from high school or where, as most of the other will be too.

As a senior I hope to accomplish many goals, some of them being in high school and some relating to college. A goal is an aim or a desired result, but may not always be achieved. Going into senior year I have aspirations of going to a good college and working for higher grades.

Losing friends, meeting new people, first job, first car, boyfriend, getting my license. Throughout the last four years of high school I’ve experienced a lot of new things and learned a lot on the way. I remember walking into school on the first day of freshman year; I was thinking that these are going to be a very long couple of years. I was wrong; these past four years have gone by so fast, so I guess my dad was right when he said they’d fly by.

I do not think senior year has been turning out like I have always thought of it as going. I have always thought of my senior year being the easiest and most fun year of high school. Yes, I have had fun, but it has not been easy. I have been put through challenges already that I know will prepare me better for college.
