It is application time and I am working on CSU applications and UC applications. I have to balance out my time and work because I have applications, scholarships and high school work right now. So as it gets closer to November 30th I get my nervous, but I got most of all my CSU applications done I just need my UC application. I hope I get accepted to most of my CSU colleges I applied for, so I can have options to choose from.
The only classes I am worried about are AVID and English because I have a lot of work for both of those classes. Other than those classes the rest are alright I just need to get a level 4 in most of them. I really need to raise my grade point average because I feel that it is fairly low. I see other students grade point average and they have a 3.4 or higher, but they haven’t taken chemistry or finished algebra 2. Both chemistry and algebra 2 are two classes that colleges require you to take in high school. I have finished both of those classes, but yet I still have a 3.1, I feel that you get a higher GPA from taking easier classes rather than taking the more difficult classes. This is not fair, but the colleges are not going to bother to look at the student that hasn’t even finished the required courses. Another thing that worries me is paying for college, because I do not qualify for a lot of financial aid. So I have to pay for my tuition with loans and scholarships. All the applications I submitted were paid for with a credit card because I did not qualify for any fee waivers. This is motivation to apply for scholarships and try to win free money for my tuition. My parents are still paying for my sister's tuition and she has already graduated from college. I do not want this to happen to me I want to get scholarships so it can be easier to pay for my tuition. We have already started basketball and most of my time is gone after school because I have practice. I still have a little bit of time to finish up any homework I have. This is where time management plays a big role. I might as well practice time management now because it should be mastered by next year when I attend college. I have to save time for my high school because I need to get level 4’s to raise my GPA. I feel like these past months have been the most stressful in my whole high school years. I fear that no college will accept me because of my GPA and my SAT scores weren’t the best. So I pray that I get into most of the colleges I applied for. If I keep working hard and finish all of my work this year than I will have less to worry about.
