I never knew how hard school was until I started my junior year. I would always hear upper classman complain about the difficulty of high school but it wasn’t until this year that I realized that high school was truly hard. This year was far from what I had anticipated; it has been way more work than I’ve ever had in both my freshmen and sophomore year put together and things just seem to be getting harder.
The thing about this year is that it makes me feel like I’m going to do or be something great in life and it making me push myself to reach higher expectations and work harder. I’ve become less social this year and lost a lot of “friends” due to the fact that they were too time consuming and not as understanding that for me school is a priority and not an option.
I’ve always felt that school should come first because my parents raised me in a way to believe that if I wanted to become an important person in this world I had to get a good education and that’s why I work hard in school. Through my high school career I’ve come across many people who have their life planned and know exactly what they want to do with their lives but sadly I am not one of them. The thing is, that if I say that I know what I want to do after high school then I’d be lying because at my age it difficult to answer the Golden Question: “what do you want to do for the rest of your life.” Don’t get me wrong I have some things in mind but I don’t know if that what I want to pursuit. At this moment I’m only concentrating in passing all my classes and doing well in school and if everything else falls apart along in the process so be it as long as at the end of the day my chances of going to college aren’t impacted.
I have become really involved in FFA and it’s amusing because I’m an officer. I’ve grown up working in the fields so I am very fond of agriculture. My Agriculture class is one of my favorites because it teaches me so many things about agriculture I didn’t know. I really like this class because it pretty much all hands on the teacher always told us if we aren’t getting dirty we aren’t learning. Though my junior year is almost half way done I’ve had a great experience at Lindsay high school and I hope that from this point it just gets better. I have less than a year left in this school I’m going to make it an unforgettable one for myself and everyone around me.
