It seems just like a few days ago I was walking into Foothill Technology School for the first time. New clothes, new purse and an open mind. The fear of not liking the school or even high school in general. Lucky for me I had all most all my close friends by my side. The thing that scared me most about Foothill was how hard it sounded. The thought of being in one of the best schools in California sounded extremely hard and frightened me.

School and school work have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether I enjoy it or not, its always there. Through all the homework and test my grades have always been an A's, B's and C's average. Its always been a big goal of mine to get good grades, like all A's. But the last time this has happened to me, was 6th grade. It seems like no matter how hard I try, this goal is never achieved. Even through this has always been a goal, ever since starting Foothill it’s been more and more of a goal for these outstanding grades but has been quite a struggle. The class I’m struggling most in is Biology with Mr. Duston. In my eyes it’s because I don’t believe Mr. Duston is the best teacher. But that’s not my only excuse. My grade would definitely be better if my Quiz and Test grade was better. My grade in this class is a C but by the end of the semester I plan to have this as high as I can get it. Period 6 the class I could be doing better in and I will be doing better in soon. This class is Spanish 1 with Senora Leaf. The class I dread going to every two, four, Six days. Unfortunately this isn’t the only year I will be taking this class, due to having to have two years of a language to graduate. Even if this isn’t my favorite class I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish, just never thought it would be so hard and confusing. But I’m hoping to start doing better in this class as soon as soon as possible.

Dance class for first period. A class that can be fun at times but it could be better. I think the best part about it is having all most all my close friends in it with me. Aimee, Ayla, Desiree, Tatum and Lucy. Learning how to dance has definitely made one of my goals become more and more realistic. This goal was to be more flexible. EDA, a class only Foothill has to take to graduate? In my opinion this is a pointless class, and i shouldn’t have to waste my time to go to this class for second period. This is Education in the Digital Age, with Mrs. Faulconer. Theres not much more to say about this boring class.

Third period, Algebra 1, Ms.Rocca. Math isn’t my best subject but it’s also not my worst. It can be easy at times but when I dont get how to do something it can be the hardest thing in the world.

Fourth period, English with Mr.Geib. I love this class so much. (I can defiantly be doing better in this class, and I hope to have my B up to an A as soon as possible. I love you Mr.Geib. ;D

Last but not Least is my favorite class. Seventh Period Health with Mrs. Adams. This is the funnest period, and everyday I look forward to going to it. I love Mrs. Adams, shes so funny. Were always laughing and having a great time in here.

To end my academics just right, i would like to talk about the ninth grade project. The project in which graduated us from being regualar little freshman to big wise freshman. This project seemed so much harded than it truly was. In the begining any freshman would complain about it and be frightened of what it really was, but in the end everyone will be saying "Wow that wasnt as hard as i thought". This happened to me, and im so glad to be able to say i got through it! I now feel wiser about our planet and feel like a better person for raising awarness towards global warming. So in the end it wasnt so bad after all.

New friends, old friends. Friends, close friends and best friends. I have a great mix of friends, whether I just recently became close to them or I’ve known them all my life. They all mean a lot to me and are a huge part of my life. A friend ive recently became close to is Alexandra Grace Moir. My freshman year has become so much better meeting this girl here at Foothill Technology High School. We have become so close, and I hope shes in my life for a very long time. I love her so much.

Friends who go to school with me and friends that have been separated due to different schools. This doesnt matter to me though because either way I can still see them whenever I please. One of these friends is Maribel Zaragoza Sandoval. We've been friends for four years now and I don’t know what my life would be like without my "Lil' Mexican". She’s gorgeous inside and out and I love her to death.

Back to friends I go to school with. There’s three main girls I will love to talk about. They have made my life so amazing and I can honestly say I don’t know what I would do without them. These girls are Desiree Aline Hernandez, Ayla Rose McNeil, and Tatum Eileen Varela.

Desiree Aline Hernandez, has been there since the sixth grade. She’s like a sister to me, and I’m so happy to call such a beautiful, classy girl my best friend. She means so much to me and I would do pretty much anything for this chicka.

Ayla Rose McNeil, a girl that’s beautiful inside and out. I met this girl in the seventh grade, at Cabrillo Middle School. We've been through a lot together and I love her to bits and pieces. Not to mention we have the same middle name. (

Tatum Eileen Varela, to be honest I don’t know where to even start with her. She’s been there all along.. We've grown up together, and we've had so many memories that i will cherish forever. We have fought uncountable times, but what sister's haven’t? I think she'll be one of those friends that’s there till we're old with grey hair. Her family is a second family to me and I think it’s the best thing that we can say we've been best friends for as long as we can remember. I will always be there for this gorgeous girl.

Friends, whether there boys or girl. The gender doesn’t matter to me. I have recently become really close too, two boys named Cody. Cody Keiser and Cody lackershire. Even though I haven’t known them for that long at all, I still feel incredibly close to them. These boys mean a lot to me and are like brothers. I absolutely adore there family and can only hope there in my life for a very, very long time. This is just a short preview of my social life. There are many more amazing friends I absolutely adore, but now its time to move on to family.

Once Upon a Time I was born on July, 18 1997 too, two wonderful people. My Mom and Dad, Kimberly and Mark. When you think of parents you think of controlling annoying people that you love unconditionally. I live with my parents and kitty Mojo. I have two siblings, a brother who is twenty two and a sister that is twenty nine. There names are Lashelle and Casey. My sister Lashelle, has two adorable sons, in which are my nephews. Jeremiah who is four and Jonathon who is about eight months old. These boys are my pride and joys. I don’t get to see them as much as I would wish, due to distance reasons but when I do it makes my world go round. I have two sets of grandparents, one that lives in Idaho and one that lives in Frazier Park. My grandparents in Frazier park are the ones I’m definitely closer to. My grandpa Dennis and my Grandma Joan. My grandma is like my world, as time goes by I realize that she’s not always going to be there, and that truly breaks my heart. I don’t know what I would ever do if I lost her. I have such a great family that I wouldn’t trade for the world. I realize that no body’s family is perfect, and I accept mine and our flaws.

All in all, I have really grown to kind of like Foothill, and realize I’m am so lucky to be here. From the beginning of my Freshman year till now, has been quite a journey. It’s been going by so fast, just like everyone said it would. It’s had its up’s and downs, but yesterdays history, tomorrow’s a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why they call it the present.
