My Journals
Start of Something Big
My senior year has been different and exciting because we have a bell schedule change and a new principle. This year seems like it will be good because I came ready for the work and I have great friends. Some of the people I used to know are not in the high school anymore because they graduated and it feels weird being the oldest ones on the campus I’m getting used to it. I started this year on pace with most of my classes but did fall behind in geometry but plan to finish as quickly as possible. I feel like I will get things done and stay on track this year because I need to graduate.
My plan is to graduate and go to a college for two to four years so I can have a career to fall back on to if I don’t make it as a dance instructor or choreographer. My goals are to graduate and get out of this small town so I can experience the city life. I also want to try my hardest in all my classes so that I can go to senior night and walk on the graduation stage. I will be more involved with my class and get the seniors to have one of the best years of their lives and make sure everyone remembers these last moments of our high school years. Slowly but surely preparing for college and getting my thigs together to make the big move to Colorado state and start a life out there.
My life seems very blurry at the moment but I hope that as I grow older my life becomes more clear so I can figure out what I want to so that I can be happy in life. My senior project seems to be the only thing that worries me about my senior year because all my high school years I have hear that the senior project was the biggest project that you will have to do in all of high school. This project does seem pretty hard but I feel that I can complete it in time to graduate and start my life. My job shadow I want to shadow a choreographer because dancing has always been in my life and I don’t plan it to ever get out of my life either. This career appeals to me because of my family background, my mom was a break dancer when she was young and my uncles and cousins are and were break dancers as well so I would like to take that tradition to a bigger step and make a living off of what I love to do.
Some obstacles of doing the project might be that we have to do the job shadow. The reason I feel that it is going to be an obstacle is because we have to go and find out when the person has time to allow you to watch them job shadow and it’s a lot of work for the instructor because they have to set schedules and times.

Lunge For The End
The last semester has been great, I’ve gotten to experience new thing over the past months like music classes and technology. The school has shown me that you aren’t just something; you have to make yourself into what you want to be cause to survive in this world you have to strive and fight to get to where you want to be.
Over my winter break I hung out with my cousins and had a good time. Christmas was even better because they were here because we got to all hang out at the mall together making practical jokes and pranking people who had no idea who we we’re. The people in the mall kicked us out but we had a good time anyways. In all honesty reality hit me so hard that it has me questioning what I want to do in the future. I don’t know if I want to get my associates degree and take my uncles business over or continue making music and help my cousin and I follow our dreams.
The classes I need to complete are English, Economics, and Government. These are my main worries because these are all requirements to graduate and they seem to be the toughest ones that I deal with today. My Government and Economics doesn’t freak me out much because those classes are not as hard to pass but my English is going to be just a bit tougher because I absolutely hate reading and I can’t stand sitting there for an hour listening or reading words. But overall my Learning Facilitators are great because they do everything in their power to try and keep us on pace with the rest of the class and they help a ton when it comes to late work.
I know it’s sometimes unfair to them that we turn our work in late but some of us are really slow with keeping up and we can’t always get the work in on time. After I graduate I want to go to Colorado and live there for most of my life, my plans are to go to college for a couple years to get my associates degree and get a well-paying job just until my uncle is ready to pass over the business in buying and selling luxury cars. Also I’m still thinking about continuing my music and trying to make a career out of it so that I may follow my dreams and help my cousin in achieving his dreams as well. I believe that I can make it somewhere in my life with music and a college degree because most people that I know that are in the music industry made it with less than a high school diploma. My plans for the future are not quite clear yet but I’m certain of where I want to be in my life. Over all this last semester was great and full of education so I’m proud to call myself a motivated Lindsay cardinal.

The Begging of Something New
Almost to the end of my high school years and I feel stressed out of my mind. Everything that I thought I knew about high school is wrong, High school is not hard but it can be challenging. In these last 4 years that I have been in high school I’ve learned how to be social, respectful, and responsible. Everyone says that your senior year isn’t as important as any other year, but they are wrong.
Senior year is the year that I am putting the most effort into because we all start our actual lives after high school and I for one am a little scared and feel a bit unready. So far the class I think is the hardest at the moment is my economics class because of all the work that gets piled up on us. People tell me that senior year is the easiest of them all but I can honestly say I disagree with them because it all depends on the classes people are taking, Luckily I have the more simpler classes but still are stressful in many ways. My plans are still the same as they were in the beginning of the year. I am planning on community college to major in business for my associate’s degree so that I may start my own company one day.
I am a procrastinator; I’m not the kind of person to finish something fast actually I’m more of the kind to get things done last minute and barely get them in on time. I know this is a really bad habit and I’m trying to work on it as much as I can but it I not an easy habit to get over. The things in high school that I wanted to get through were the toughest parts such as math, English, and history. The reason I felt these classes were the toughest was because these classes were required to graduate and they have put so much pressure on me only because of the fact that they are required. I feel that I will complete my senior year but I also feel like im barely going to make it. I’m struggling to keep my work up because I am just not that person but I know I will change that and I will change that fast.
Finishing strong is what I plan to do because I want to make my family proud of me and what I can accomplish in life on my own. When I was young I thought monsters and ghosts were scary but now that I’m older I realize that the only way someone is scared is because they don’t know what it is just like life after high school, everyone just have to slay their demons. I’m very excited to start my life on the other side and see what it is like to be able to support myself and experience what life really is in this world. My family and friends had my back all the way through high school and I will be forever grateful in all the things they have done for me in my life.
