My break was good. I wish it was longer, so that I could be with my family more. The first semester went by so fast. Just yesterday it felt like the start of the first semester now it is the start of the second semester. The reality hit me very hard, I couldn’t believe it. Time is not on my side because it is flying, next thing that I know I would already be graduating. As first semester is coming to an end , deadlines for a lot of things are also coming to an end. The more I think about the graduation the faster it comes. A side of me is ready to leave and another side of me is not. Being scared to leave high school is normal for high school students without a plan after high school. I’m lucky to have a plan after high school and that plan is to attend a 4 year university.
I had recently got my report card in the mail and my semester GPA went from a 3.29 to a 3.50. The hard work I put in the first semester has paid off. My hardest classes were AVID and physiology, I was worried I wasn’t going to complete these classes. I worked hard and finished them though along with all the rest of my classes. Now I just need to focus on my Exit Interview because that is the next project I need to complete. The more I get done the more time I have for other work such as scholarships. The work is getting more and more challenging for most of my courses. My english class is not that hard, but I consider it another one of my challenging courses because there is a lot of work required for english. For english we have to do the work assigned to us in class like reading a book and answering questions on that book. We also have to do the other work such as the personal website, journals and the exit interview powerpoint. It all has to be done before our exit interview date. From all of the colleges I have applied to I have only heard back from 3. I got accepted to CSU East Bay, Fresno and Stanislaus. I am still waiting to hear back from CSU Sacramento, San Jose, Monterey Bay and Cal Poly. I also applied to UC Santa Cruz and UC Merced. On top of college applications I also have to focus on scholarships and the CSU placement tests. High school should not be c forgotten yet about high either, I still have a lot of work from other classes too. It is like everything is happening all at one time and I am not ready for it. More and more work keeps on being assigned, the more I wait to do one thing, something else needs to be done. Procrastination is one of my biggest problems. The more I procrastinate the more I fall behind on subjects. Another thing is making enough time for college required tasks such as FAFSA, CSU placement tests and scholarships. Once I manage my time correctly I could get most of these assignments done and summitted.
