I like to spend time with my family and friends. The most important people that have been here for me this year at school and at home is my family no matter what ever happens I will always be there for them too; for me family always comes first. Also I appreciate all the teacher I got this year at Lindsay High School. My teachers this year have been there for me so I thank them for everything they have done for me. My Junior year is almost coming to an end and it has been stressful for me because I have difficulties reading. Sometimes I get difficult work that is hard for me to understand. I ask for help and my teachers help me but I still have a hard time getting it. Sometimes I get work to do for homework or just class work. But then I tell myself that I am going to do in class and I don’t I just talk. Then I say I’m going to do it for homework and still don’t do anything. So when I get back to school I get myself into lots for trouble for lying and not doing my homework. I just end up putting myself behind in my classes which is not good because then I need to do a lot of more work. This year, which is my Junior year, has been stressful for me because I get lots of more work in class and lots of more homework. Junior year has been kicking my butt if I don’t get my stuff on point I will fall even more behind. Then that’s when I will be scared thinking will I be able to do all the work? And be thinking if I’m going to graduate or Not. So it’s time for me to grow up and do what I have to do if I want to be on pace. Also if I want to do what I want to do of living need to be getting good grades. Then I want to do good in school because I want to make my family proud and make them think good of me. One thing I like about my family is that every time I need help at home with school work, even if they don’t get it or they don’t know as much, they still give me their time to try to help me. Also when my family knows that I’m not doing well in school they push me to do my work and to get my stuff right. That is why I love my family and I will try my best to do all my work at school and all my homework I get. Also if I don’t understand the work they give me I will try my hardest to understand it and ask for lots of help from my family or my teachers.

I am a student at Lindsay High School and so far my senior year is going good, i like my classes and i like being able to talk to my friends and hanging out with them. It is december and we are approaching the end of the semester and about to go on our christmas vacation. I am not on pace in a few of my classes, in english i am behind by 2 MT’s, in tech advanced i am behind by 2 quizzes so that isn't much and in U.S. history i am behind an MT. Hopefully i can get caught up with all my work within a month or early next month, i know i can with the help of teachers and working extra hard during the time i have left in school. For my senior project i have recently started working on my journals as well as my life map which is almost complete, after this journal i still have to complete 3 more. So far i have found the life map interesting i like the fact that it allows me to get a better picture of what my life has been and what it will hopefully be if i work hard to get where i want, it somehow makes it feel like you are a little more organized when u put your plan down on a paper. With everything going as planned i will be done with high school this year and moving on to UTI, after that i hope to find a job in that field.Being that i am a senior what i look forward to the most is graduating and moving on to the next step in life which will hopefully be UTI where i will learn how to be a mechanic and customize cars. Those are my goals and that's what i look forwards to, i know that with hard work and the help of my parents i can achieve whatever i want in life. After school and when i get my job comes the time where i start planning to buy a home, start a family and enjoy my life.

Since my last Journal entry some stuff has changed because I passed math and now I am in a online class. Towards the end of the semester I am trying to get caught up in all my classes or ahead, that way next semester I can be on pace or be put in another class. My main focus right now is to finish with Government. Next semester I don't want to be taking Economics and Government at the same time because it will make it even harder for me to get on stay on pace. English is another class that I need to focus on because I am not on pace in there. I’m finding it hard to find the time to work on my Senior Project. Right now I need to finish my life map because I forgot that I still haven't finished it. My excuse is that I don't have time to do it because I have other stuff to do all day. One thing I am enjoying about my Senior Project is making my website. I like to put pictures I want people to see on there and creating my pages. I am enjoying my senior year so far, one thing I enjoy the most is knowing that I am almost going to be out of school and then go into college. College will allow me to learn what I always wanted to learn since I was a little kid. I'm already prepared for graduation life because I qualified and was accepted to the school I want to go to after high school. That college is Universal Technical Institute in Sacramento, CA. While there I will learn Auto Mechanics, Diesel Mechanics and Performance Street. Since my Sophomore year I got serious about college. I started to look into schools that could help me in my future goal. I talked to my Counselor and Teachers about it and they have given me some guidence. I feel that Mr. Arroyo has supported me the most, he pushed me to do research and contact the schools. If I continue to be on pace I will be a college student in July!

This winter break was good, i went to Idaho with my family and i stayed over there for christmas until new years. We really couldn't do anything because it was snowing but it was still a good time because i got out of Lindsay for a little while. While i was there my dad took me out to look for a car, we looked at some new cars and some classics such as camaros, mustangs, novas, and lots of others. I got a 79 Camaro z28 in Nampa ID and i had to buy a car trailer to bring it back to Cail i was a little scared on the way because i would say to myself what if it starts snowing but it went good on the way because it wasn’t snowing at all. My first semester has gone really good so far, one thing i love the most about this semester is that i passed geometry. I feel like a little kid because of the stuff i would to and because i wouldn’t listen. One thing i regret is not listening to the teachers when they would tell me to do my work. (Howd did that affect).The reality of the semester has hit me and it's not good the way it is really hitting me because i am not on pace on some of my classes but i am still trying to get all caught up on the classes i am falling behind in so that i can start the next semester on pace and be with the whole class on pace. For the semester and before graduation i need to finish government and finish the first part of 12a for ELA and need to finish the first part of Home Economics i need to finish all that before graduation so i can get all my credits for the semester. (what will you need do to accomplish this) College applications i only did one for the school i want to go to and it went good when i did it because i got accepted to the school already.
