And so the end begins… The first day of my senior year started on Monday, and I have some mixed emotions concerning the fact that this is my last year of high school. \u00a0Obviously I am excited about almost being done with school and moving on to college, but I am sad that I will be leaving behind so many friends and fond places. \u00a0My plan is to go to Southwestern Assemblies of God Universities in Texas, and if I do end up going there then I will be on my own. \u00a0I know I am ready for this, but I still cannot help feeling sad at the thought of leaving everything I have ever known behind. <\/p>\n
As a result of this being my last year, I have been trying to come into this school year with a humble attitude, I want to have an impact during my last year of school. This is my chance to make a difference, and the only way I can do that is if I remember that I am the key to seeing the things get done that I want to happen. \u00a0I have had a problem with trying too hard to get attention, and in the process I can be disrespectful to my teachers and those around me. \u00a0This is the main thing that I have been trying to work on this year. \u00a0I cannot make the impact that I am aiming to make if I am the class clown that no one takes seriously. \u00a0I need to be able to talk to people and have them take what I am saying into consideration, and that is really hard to do when people thing you are just joking all the time. \u00a0I cannot say that I have done a great job of this these past three days, but I do think I am doing better then I have the past three years. \u00a0It’s a daily task that will eventually build me into a better person.<\/p>\n
I have been trying to not talk so much in class so that I can pay attention this year, and it has not been very hard considering that some of my classes are really challenging. This year I am taking AP U.S. History, Spanish IV AP, and English IV AP, so needless to say I really do not have much time to goof off. \u00a0These classes are going to be really hard, especially taking all of them together, but knowing that they are so vital to my future helps me make it through regardless. \u00a0I am really excited to see what my senior year brings, and how it will all work out in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
