I am almost halfway done with senior year. Senior year! Yes I am still not over it and I don’t think it will change anytime soon. However, my attitude and feelings about it has changed. The more I think about graduation, the more excited I get. Graduation is getting closer and closer and I am really looking forward to it. I am nervous but it is a good type of nervous. Yet, I wish time would slow down. Mainly because I have a lot things to do and I feel like I am being spread out to thin. I feel like the more I beg for time to slow down, the more it goes faster. My classes, mom, friends, and life are very demanding. I feel like there is not enough hours in the day to fulfill everyone’s wishes and mine. Also because before I was so used to switching off the school mode on Friday’s but now that is not an option, that is if I want to stay on pace. But despite this, I have very well rooted in my mind that it will all be worth it. I know that staying a couple of nights up a little late to stay on pace or sitting down for a couple of hours to do some homework instead of going out, will not be a regret, but that it will it pay off in the future.
Currently, I am on pace on all my classes. I need to finish two classes by the end of the semester to keep up with my pacing goals. But that won’t be a problem. The only thing I am having trouble with is my job shadow, since I cannot find time to go schedule it. I keep trying to set a date but I end either forgetting or something else comes up that needs my attention first. On the other hand, I enjoy doing my senior project. It is my outlet , the way I vent out my feelings on school. I can reflect and organize my thoughts. It also helps to think more about things I don’t or forget to pay attention to. I know I’ll look back on my project and read what I have written and be glad I did it.
So far, I am doing a few things to prepare for post - graduation life. I am currently applying to several jobs to save up some money, searching for colleges that interest me, keeping an eye out for dates to apply for colleges and scholarships, and making plans to buy a vehicle and place of my own. I am feeling pretty well supported in the choices I am making. My teachers support me by reminding me of important dates for education after high school. My friends and family support me by encouraging me to do what I need to do to accomplish my goals and dreams and by giving me direction and guidance when I feel lost and need it the most.
