State+of+Student++First+Semester+Final+Exam

It feels like just yesterday was my first day of high school. I remember how I was so nervous that my legs were actually shaking. Worrying about if high school is going to be the worst experience of my life, but so far I have been wrong. High school has been so fun even though I get assigned tons of homework. Also it helps that I made tons of new people this semester. Now looking back some of those people are now my best friends. Another thing is that my grades are pretty good which is making high school more bearable. Over all, high school is not has horrible has what other people make it out to be. I am loving high school more and more every day.

First, I’m going to talk about how my first year in high school has been going so far. It has been a struggle for me in some of my classes. Biology is the worst class I have. I have a b+ in that class but I don’t understand a thing I learn. So when it comes to take a test I’m in trouble because I don’t get anything. When my teacher talks I just zone out, I just can’t help it. I try to listen, but what we are learning is not interesting. I cannot just blame the teacher it is my fault too. I need to ask for more help and not be shy about asking.

Enough about biology. In this class I’m doing kind of well in, but I want an A in it not a B. This class is English. So far in English we read the “1984” which is really boring until the end of the book. Also the ending sucks. It is probably the worst book we read this semester. After that we read, “Mice and Men.” Which was an amazing book that I‘m glad I read. I was really into it. And it helped that Mr. Geib would talk like a redneck it was hilarious. Now in Mr. Geib class we are reading, “To Kill a Mockingbird”. It is a great book. At first I was like “this book going to be really boring.” But, as I started reading the book I realize that it not a boring book after all. After a couple of days of having the book I finished it. Now moving on to the fun part of being in Mr. Geib 7th period English class we have parties all the time and most of the time Mr. Geib doesn’t even know we are having a party until we show up to his classroom with food. My goal for this class is to get an A and to keep an A in this class.

What is the best class everybody love’s? It is Algebra 1. Just kidding no one likes math. Unless you’re a really smart person who loves it. It’s not that I don’t like Algebra 1 I just don’t like doing math period. But, I do like my math teacher Mrs. Rocca who is also my AVID teacher too. In Algebra 1 we do Carnegie which can be really hard and easy at the same time and it helps you understand what you are learning even more.

My favorite class at Foothill is AVID. AVID helps me a lot with my homework because we have tutorial and my group and tutor help me if I have a problem on a homework assignment. Also, in AVID we get to see what kind of careers we can have when were older by bringing in career speakers. We had Mr. Cohan, a judge, CEO of Make a Wish Foundation, and many other career speakers. And we went on a fieldtrip already to UC Long Beach and were planning on going to UCLA and Pepperdine. I love AVID and I now know that I definitely would like to be in AVID till I graduate high school.

People say that the friends you make in high school will be your friends for life. I know that is true in my case. I met one of my friends, jasmine in my AVID class. I just remember telling her to sit next to me and she did. And from there on out we been best friends. But, the funniest thing is that our family knew each other, but we just met this year. Now I hang with her all the time. I believe that she is probably going to one of my closest friends at foothill. Don’t worry Jasmine isn’t my only friend. Allie is one of my best friends too. I knew her in middle school, but we just hanged out with different people. But, now we go to the movies together and she sits right next to me in EDA and we Google hot famous guys together. I’m glad I met her and hopefully we stay good friends though out the year. Some of you might know who Jordan Christian is. She is my best friend but, had to move back to Arizona. I still talk to her and ask how she is doing over there. I think that even though she doesn’t live here anymore that we are still going to be best friends. Last but not least, my best friend Ashlynn (a.k.a my sis.). I grew up with her since I was 5. So we always had a sisterly bond and it helps that she only lives 4 houses down from mine. Her family can joke with me and give me advice without me taking it the wrong way and it is the same way with Ashlynn and my parents. Even though my dad scares her half to death. Things are going really well with me and Ashlynn we have are little bumps in the road, but we always bounce back. Ashlynn will always be my sis.

Everybody knows that their family can be annoying. That describes my family. They always bug and won’t leave me alone, but I still love them with all my heart. My mom is that one person in my family were I get mad at, but then realizes she always there for me and I apologize to her. She is my everything and without her in my life I wouldn’t be the person I am today and she is one those moms where you can talk to her about anything and I mean anything and she won’t get mad or judge you. Our mother and daughter relationship is doing well even though I’m a teenager. Now to my dad. Don’t get me wrong I love him ,but he can be really overprotective over me because I’m is baby out of 3 girls. I feel like he suffocating me. I’m not allowed to go anywhere. And the worst part is that he can have fun with his friends, but I can’t. I understand that my dad doesn’t want me to grow up, but it’s going to happen. I think me and my dad need to talk more and eventually he will let me do more things. We all know how older siblings can be like. The oldest one is Gloria. I use to be really close to her growing up and she help raised me. I just realized she is one of those people who think they know everything and she is the drama queen of the family. I’m not really close to her anymore though. She really rude to me and say hurtful things to me and she kind of a hypocrite. Even though she is all those things, I will always have a special part in my heart for her. I have another sister Rebecca, who is an amazing person and a great sister. Too bad I couldn’t say that when I was young. When I was born my sister didn’t like the idea of not being the baby any more. She wanted to kill me, but instead she ran away. After a couple of years when she finally matured my sister and I are really close now. Rebecca son, Joseph (a.k.a Ducky Boy) lives with me over the breaks. He is my nephew, but we fight like brother and sister. I used be really jealous of him when I was younger, but now I love him to death and I want him to live with me and maybe one day he will. The most remember able years are when you are in high school. “Ya, right,” you might be saying to yourself, but don’t. So far my first semester has been going great and yours can too. I made amazing friends and learned some life lessons on the way. I hope your high school experience will be has great has mine will be.
