Winter break is over, and the first semester of my senior year is coming to an end. Looking back at the last few weeks I felt like I did a good job of not procrastinating, but I somehow still manage to carry a huge baggage over my shoulder. There are so many things I still need to get done and I cannot be more stressed. Event planning, deadlines for the yearbook, and endless class assignments have me running back and forth. I am lucky if I ever get time to sit down or time to realize how fast the year is going. It’s crazy to think that I have one semester left before I graduate and go off to college, but I know I’m gonna make the best of it and finish strong.
I wasn’t always one of those students who strived for the best education and I definitely did not see myself even applying to colleges. It was not because I did not want to attend college and be apart of something bigger, it was because I felt like I was not good enough. I always dreamed about going to UCLA or USC or UC Santa Barbara, but there was always something holding me back and keeping me from learning to my full potential. That all changed over the years, and I found myself applying to one school. Since my freshmen year I have had this dream of pursuing a job in photography after I graduated from the Art Institutes. As soon as senior year began, I was eager to submit my application to my dream school. I’m here now at the end of my first semester as a senior with the honor and privilege to say I know where I will be attending school next fall.
Receiving my acceptance letter was by far the biggest highlight of the school year so far, but I’m not done yet. I still have an entire semester ahead of me and I plan on making it even better. I love knowing where I’m going after graduation. I love the memories I have made so far. I love seeing myself grow as not just a student, but a person. I have been working so hard to accomplish my goal of graduating in top 10 and no matter how challenging this year has been I refuse to give up. I know if I keep doing what I have been doing for the past three years I will reach my goal and maybe even be a student who leaves a huge mark at Lindsay High.
It’s near. My final semester of high school is right around the corner. This semester was a bumpy road but I am managing to make it work. I know I can do better next semester and that is exactly what I plan on doing. Every obstacle has led me to where I am today and I am happy where I am at. I believe I am on the right path to a successful future. I believe I can accomplish anything I set my mind on. I believe my final semester is gonna come with many great memories that I will remember forever. 7 semesters down. 1 to go.
