My winter break was quite fun I don’t have much family in the states so every break or holiday my family and I just spend them together. Over the break my family my girlfriend and I took several trips to Kings Canyon National Park to play in the snow and to get away from the city for a bit.
Now schools back in session and we are nearing the end of the semester and one of the things I loved about my last first semester of highschool was football I miss being out on the practice and game field with my boys joking and clowning on eachother and going out on that field on friday nights and just battling it out with other teams. However I do have one regret about first semester is I procrastinated alot and now I have to work twice as hard to catch up and stay on pace but looking back that's the only regret I have.
The fact that there are only two weeks left in this semester has hit me hard not only because I am behind in two classes but as well as after the first semester is over I am half way through high school. I often think about how the first semester is going by so fast that I can only imagine how fast the second semester will go by. Another reason it has hit me is because the clock of being a teenager is winding down and after high school is when my real life begins I am anxious to get out and go study to different states but I won't lie I’m pretty scared to set off alone and leave my family, although I know I can always visit It's just a different experience leaving the people that have raised me and that i've lived with for seventeen years, but I’m looking forward to my life adventure.
A checklist I have for this semester to be on pace to graduate is for english I have to update my website and get these journals all caught up to be on pace in english. Another task in hand is a job shadow I haven't completed. As for economics I just have to to write essays for a project I missed the due date on.
My plan after high school does not involve 4 year universities or community college, I am attending a trade school to become a automotive technician I have already been accepted into the school so all I need is that pretty paper that says I finished high school.
As for post graduation jobs, I've been looking for more of a corporation type job some place I can get hired in this town or nearby Lindsay at least so it would be easier to get hired again in a similar job or position when I move away to go to school.
Well that's all for this journal ill check in with you guys next journal and let you know how things are going.

Well in my last entry I shared that I was in a metal class, but since then I decided I would drop that class and pick up another auto shop class since it's my pathway and I’m set that will one day be my career and the more experience I can get the better. Another change that has occurred is that I am not as far behind as I started the year so I am closing in on that on pace goal I have and I only plan on moving forward. So far that's all that’s changed since my last entry.
As of right now english is the only class I seem to be behind in but as stated earlier I'm catching up and soon this whole english scenario will be in the rearview. But as of now this is at the moment the only class I need to catch up before the semester's up and that is my goal. Before this semester is over I have to turn in one essay on multiculturalism and module 3 which is a choice module and I have chosen to due my module on racial profile policing, those are my two assignments for english that I must complete before semester.
As of right now the only struggle i'm having with my senior project is clubs and activities because I am not involved in any clubs or activities, the only club I’ve been in is football but we’ll see what I can make happen. Despite the little difficulty I’m having I am enjoying how this senior projects pushes you to look forward into your future and make us plan out how we’re going to achieve our goals. Along with that I enjoy looking back on old times with my friends and seeing how far we have come and much further we will go, it's exciting knowing that high school is almost over and we are on our way to being young adults.
As of now I have applied to UTI in sacramento and have been accepted so now I must wait till my representative gives me the green light to begin applying for scholarships and begin establishing a moving plan. I'm really thankful that my family has always supported me in life and my education, I feel sometimes like my parents are more exited about me going to this school than me, I understand that they are just proud of me and want me to go far in life and they’re there to support me the whole way of this journey.

What do i look forward to
My senior year so far is going good i like all my classes. I don’t have a lot of friends in my classes which is good for me because it means there’s less distractions and I can get more work done. One of the classes I was really excited about was auto 3 which is a basically my special class cause i am the only student taking it. It’s class for me just to focus on automotive projects and get more hands on experience. I also have metal shop which is fun to because I like welding and before i only knew what a mig welder was and how to mig weld and now I can plasma cut, oxy acetylene cut, arc weld and still mig weld. These two classes are the main ones that i am really excited about because they are the classes i see myself using most in my future .
I am currently not on pace in english this year this is due to me just being lazy last year and not putting in the time and work needed to be on pace, but I am really confident I’ll catch up on these assignments I'm missing and be on pace in no time. Plus there is a new teacher LHS has hired on his name is Mr. Britten and i am pretty confident he can help me catch up and get through english.
My current senior project is working on a life map which is making a map of my life from when i was little all the way to the present and then planning the future. What i find most interesting about this project is it really makes me think back and dig deep on all my childhood memories some good and some bad. I'm glad we have this assignment because now that i have to look back and see all the hardships i faced as a child and am grateful that i could overcome the struggles and in a way see how they shaped me. Another reason I am interested in this project is it lets me plan my future. I get see my past and future goals laid out together, where I came from and where I wanna be. It just fascinates me seeing the changes over time and who i've become. And that is what’s most interesting to me about this project.
One thing I am really looking forward to this year is all the activities the senior class does to bond with each other for example our senior sunrise and sunset, our grad night and other activities we do after all it is our last year and we gotta enjoy it. The event i am really excited for this year is finally graduating high school. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since my freshman year every year it was a different class graduating and this year It's my turn. Although I am very nervous I know greater things and a better education await me after high school.
