It's unbelievable that my junior year is almost over. I remember being crazy stressed for this year because everyone talked about how it was all about college planning and tons of work. Surprisingly, this year was not so bad. I'd say it was filled with exponentially more successes than failures. My homework was almost always completed (aside from 2 times where I felt very bad for not doing it), my grades have all been favorable, and I survived the ACT. Granted, I still have AP exams and finals to worry about, but my worrying is not being wasted on subjects that I am certain to pass. Over summer I plan to begin my mentoring project, go on college visits, and generally read as many books as possible. I try to beat my record of the number of books read per summer, and my current record is 20 books. As for my senior year, I simply want to enjoy it and experience as much high school as possible. I'm extremely excited for all my classes I am going to take and I believe I'll have a lot of fun next year. Like Tristan, I'm going to try to become more involved in school activities because I, too, sit at home and wish I had something to do. Overall, I hope senior year is amazing, will prepare me for my future, and lessen my debilitating fear of the future.
