The Ending of Semester 1
So far, my senior year has been really fun. But it has also been very busy and I have noticed that I do not have as much free time as I used to. I ended having to quit football early because I got double up concussions and my doctor made me quit out of fear of permanent brain damage, which was a pretty sucky way to start the first semester of my senior year, but atleast I had fun while it lasted. Through football I feel like I have learned to be more humble. I have also learned that with determination, you can do almost anything, even if it is something bigger than you. I have also decided that instead of going straight to college, I am enlisting in the Armed Forces, so far I have not decided what branch I want to go into, but I have narrowed it down to the Army, the Marines, or the Air Force. My only worry is that my migraines will force me to have to give up on my dream of joining the military. I have already taken the ASVAB and I received a phone call from an air force recruiter letting me know that I scored really high on the test. He told me that because of how high I scored that I could have virtually any job within the air force because of how well I did on the ASVAB. Before he called me, I had not even thought about joining the air force, but now I am really considering it for my future.
I need to finish English before the end of the semester because I am behind and I do not want it to snowball and build up to the point where I can not do anything about it. In order to finish before the end of the semester I have created a list of all the things I need to finish, and I have started staying after school in the library so I can get help if I need it. As far as my other classes go I am on pace for next semester. For guitar all I need to do is make my own picking pattern and present it to Miss Wills. In order to reach my goal of joining the military I have to graduate from high school and receive my diploma. That means no more procrastinating and I really need to step it up.
The difficulties I am having with my senior project are getting my community hours, getting my journals done, and I am dreading my exit interview because I have terrible stage fright and I do not do well when it comes to doing presentations. I also need to do my job shadow but I do not know who to job shadow. However, I have thought about job shadowing a police officer here in Lindsay. The reason I have not gotten my journals done is because I have a hard time focussing on doing one task at a time. My mind gets bored and it just starts to wonder and I often have to snap myself back and refocus myself and get it done. A major problem for me is doing my community hours, recently I have been busy helping my family or my family drags me off somewhere. I also do not know what to do for community hours or where to go, so I need to ask my counselor what I can do.
So far, in preparation for post-graduation life, I plan on making myself useful for my parents until I turn 18 and leave for basic training for whatever military branch I choose to go with. If I choose the air force I will be sent all the way to Texas for 8.5 weeks for basic training. I plan on staying in the military for more than 4 years and see the world. Most of my family supports me on my decision to join the military, except my mom, but she is just afraid that I will get hurt or worse. After the military I plan on going to college to become an engineer.
