Senior Journal 1
When my Senior year started I began thinking, there was a lot of stuff going through my mind. So far Senior year has been good. I am very excited to become a graduate of Lindsay High School and make my family proud. When I first started school I thought I wasn’t going to get much help from my teachers, but I was wrong. I knew that I was going to do my best in all my classes and work hard until i earn my diploma.
Over the past 3 years at Lindsay High School I have been struggling in many classes. I was failing all my classes except English.My Freshman year I was scared and nervous. The classes I got for Lindsay High School were hard. I also had personal problems. I was having a tough time with not letting my dad go after he passed. It was a tough time when he left my life.
At the high school I have had IEP that helped the teachers work with me and help me through the class. During the year I struggled in math, history, and Science. I stayed in a after school program called “Red Zone” for most of the time. My Sophomore year I also celebrated my “Quinceanera” but it distracted me. It was very stressful for me because my dad wasn’t there to help my mom and she was planning it all by herself. I always had my 15 birthday party on my mind and that's how I started failing all my classes. Now that I look back I regret letting my 15 birthday party get in the way of my school work.
The past 3 years I thought I wasn’t going to graduate high school and that I wasn’t smart enough to be in school. I also thought all my classmates were smarter than me so I told myself I would fail in life because I wasn’t getting anywhere. All these negative feelings were on my mind and it got to the point when I just started asking myself if I really was going to give up in school and not try my best.
When i went back to school i asked my counselor if i still have time to finish my work from junior year she gave me a chance to catch up on work. When I graduate lindsay high school i am going to porterville college for 2 years then move to bakersfield ca to take another two years in college in bakersfield for 2 years. When i’m done with college i am going to start signing up to be a CPS that means “child development”. One reason why i want to be a CPS is because when i was 9 years old i’ve seen parents hit their children and i wouldn’t like seeing that and also parents would go to parties and be drinking and i didn’t like that. So i asked my teacher i want to help kids that are living in a bad home. That’s when my teacher asked me if i heard about “CPS” before. I told her no and she explained it to me and since she told me about cps that’s when i told my family about me being a cps.
