Journal #1 End of Junior YearIf I could scale my senior year so far, it'll be 11/10. I'm only a week into my senior year and it's been the best week i've had ever since I was a freshman in high school. For some odd reason, being titled as senior and having the schedule in your hands is so satisfying and so rewarding. Many students look at their senior year as their last year in school or how it's hard to close one chapter because no one knows what the next chapter would likely be. It's so fascinating yet scary to think that this year is my last year, my last page before I close this chapter and start the next. Over the course of my highschool years, it's been a rollercoaster of grades for me. One day I was getting straight A’s, the next i'm failing all my classes. I've promise myself to work hard this year and make this year my most memorable year not because it's my last year in high school, but to prepare myself for the journey I will encounter in the future. Currently I am not working on my senior project because I forgot my password, but no worries because google plus saved my website.

Journal #2 Exit InterviewTo me, graduation is a symbol of the hard work students have put in for their 13 years of educational journey. I'm not nervous to graduate, but yet again, I can't say i'm not nervous because I haven't experienced the last year of my high school career. Isn't it weird that i'm not excited to graduate, maybe it hasn't hit me that i'm actually a senior now. I'm not sure what post-graduate means, but i'm guessing it's my pathway. I want to study computer engineering and software programming but LHS didn't offer classes supporting my pathway, instead I chose business and marketing pathway. The reasons I picked this pathway was to be involved in business and prepare myself for the future of computer engineering. Basically in order for me to graduate, I need all my classes that is listed in my schedule for senior year. Once when I complete all my classes in my senior schedule, it'll be walking in the football field with my cap and gown faster than you could say congratulations. Looking back in my high school year, i'd say I had a pretty unique high school experience. The most grateful thing I could've asked for in high school was my friends because no matter what stupid decisions i've made in the past, they've stuck around. I can't wait until we have our high school reunion in 30 years or so.
What i'm most excited to graduate is to look back at my failures. My whole life, i was never taught that success was key, but you only learn from your failures. This motivated me to continue taking university pathway, to not give up when i could of, and failure encouraged me to find myself and ignore all the negativity it's given to me. From kindergarten to senior year, failure was always there no matter how easy the classroom was for me. Encouragement played a big role to my 14 years of my education. Self-motivation and Self-Confidence was taught to me by the failures i've overcome in life. The lesson here is that having hope for yourself can come a long way from just giving up when you have so much to look forward in the future. |
