First+Semester+Final+Essay



It seemed almost as if it was yesterday that I was getting to meet new people, make new friends, and meet my teachers that I would have for the rest of the year. Surprisingly I was not scared at all for my first day of high school and I was actually excited to meet new people and see my teachers for the first time. Although I like Foothill I would like to transfer to Ventura High School because that is where most of my friends are.

The first thing I will talk about is my academics. School is a big part of my life and consumes most of my time. Currently I am doing fairly well in all of my classes and getting good grades for the most part. I know I can do better and would like to get better grades next semester. Because I want to be a doctor I would like to join the Bio-Science Academy, if I decide to not transfer to Ventura High School.

Right now I am mostly struggling with geometry. I am still passing the class but I feel I could be doing better and working harder to get a better grade. I have always been good at math, and if I put in a little more effort I could be getting an A in the class. So next semester I will try and maintain an A in geometry.

Spanish is going good and I am finally starting to understand the language. At first I thought it would be cool to learn Spanish, but now it is getting old and boring. But I am still trying my hardest to learn and understand the language. As for biology I am doing great in that class and understand it because I love science! E.D.A. and English are going great. I have good grades in both of these classes. I have always been a good typer and writer. This makes these classes very easy. Although reading is not the most interesting thing to me I still get through it and am a fairly good reader. Friends are a huge part of my life! At this point in my freshman year I have a good mix of old and new friends and been able to remain in contact with my old friends from Anacapa. Usually my weekends consist of hanging out with friends from different schools. I have done a good job with keeping a selection of good friends that know where they are going in life and have a bright future ahead of them. But some of them on the other hand are headed in the wrong direction. Most of my close friends attend Ventura High School such as Jack. This is mostly the reason on why I would like to transfer schools. One of my close friends is Luc Landry. I have known him since kindergarten or maybe even before. We have gone to the same school throughout our whole life and I have gotten to know him very well and became close friends. Now we are on the rowing and having him on the team makes rowing that much more fun! One of my new friends that I have recently became close to is Mac. Although I met him in 7th grade at my friend Jack’s house we really didn’t talk much until wrestling and Foothill.
