WHat are your Hopes/Goals for Junior year?

A hope that I have for junior year is that I am able to deal with all of the workload especially since I am considering taking honors. I hope that I'm able to balance out my homework and personal life so that I spend enough time for each thing and don't feel stressed out. A goal I have for junior year is to be able to maintain good grades throughout the entire year.

What has been most memorable about Junior Year so far?

These are some of the items that I bought when I went to the 2017 San Diego Zine Fest

I think the most memorable moment from junior year so far would have to be the fetal pig dissection that we did in biology. The fetal pig dissection was a really new experience for me. Even though I didn't dissect the pig at all, I think it was interesting to see the anatomy of a pig and see all of its organs.

How are you evolving as a student? Who were you before? How have you grown?

I have evolved as a student this past semester by staying positive and open minded. When I first started junior year, I did not like it one bit. I knew that this year of high school is the most difficult yet important year out of all 4 years. I started to become negative and didn’t care about the effort I put into my work. I thought that a lot of the assignments that were given to us were pointless. I then started thinking about how junior year would be as a whole if I continued to be negative. I know that that would not be a good experience, so I started to change my perspective on things. I started to enjoy the things we would learn in class. I found that since I started to become more open minded of the assignments that I was given I started to become a lot happier. Although at times the workload does stress me out and I feel like I’m not giving it my all, I think about how I want to end junior year on a good note, and I stick to the positive mindset that I’ve built.
