At the beginning of my junior year, I had a big feeling about not finishing my first semester right off the bat because of how I came into the year with 4 classes behind pace. That situation was a big downer for me because throughout the first weeks of school I had a large amount of work that needed to be caught up in order to catch up to my junior year. Every two weeks we had grading periods and as those came up I literally put myself towards a specific goal. My one goal was to catch up, stay after school, get tutored to have better understanding of something and simply to catch up with those 4 classes to be on pace to graduate.
By the end of one of our two week grade period I began noticing my improvement with the amount of work I've been turning in throughout those weeks. I kept staying after school with different teachers and for specific classes because they would help me a lot. That’s how it focused on not staying behind with other work that was being given. Even though everything came down to me. Getting myself organized, focusing on all my behind classes, and having to say that half my junior year is almost over sort of sucks. Why? Well because I've met new teachers, got to experience things I've never put myself towards doing and that really changed me.
For me coming into my junior year felt like school would never end for me because of all of my work I was gathering from my classes. I was never embarrassed because of my grades. The thing that made me mostly proud this year was that I kept trying until I understood a specific lesson. On the other hand what had me really worried about my grades were sports. The one sport that I loved was rejected from me. Not from anyone just simply my fault . I couldn't play soccer this junior year because of a big injury I had the past year, plus the way I had to make time for homework just put me right at that stressful moment. It was a hard thing to balance having to do a lot of homework while worrying about what was going to happen my upcoming senior year. As a matter of fact my experience with sports and homework never worked for me because every day after practice I would go home, eat, get some rest, and go straight to bed. I would wake up around 11:30 p.m., knowing that I have no time to do a good amount of homework. At that point I began focusing on whats most important for me and that's graduating.
This semester’s been great and it’s really helped me a lot to complete my assignments and allowed me to be ready to learn more. As a matter of fact, so far this year’s been a lot of work, especially for me because of my classes. All of my skills that I've become better at are really going to affect me in the future. I still have one more year left, I believe in myself and I know I am able to graduate in my year 2016. That’s what my wish is and I know I could push myself towards my High School diploma. With the effort am putting in now, I feel like I can accomplish a lot more than my freshman and sophomore year. My senior year is months away and I promise myself I will leave my High School with a good plan, because I want to experience more things.
