The Beginning of The End

I am here! It's the beginning to the end of all I have ever know. For my hole life I have lived in the same house and I barley left California; infarct the first time I have slept in a different state was December 19, 2014. Thought of spending the maggoty of my time in another area, maybe even state, scares me but also excites me. I can't wait to start the next chapter of my life and my education.

I remember being in elementary school looking forwarded to being a Grizzly at CAL. As expected by the time I got here school was becoming more of a drag then it was back then. But with high school comes the hard class and the long nights cramming last minute projects and tests. But their is also so much fun to be had. My last 3.5 years that I have spent at CAL had their ups and their downs. With all the things we have gone though its the way we respond to our individual challenges that have shaped who we are to day. One of my lowest points in high school was last year (Jr. year) when I didn't get reinstated into leadership. I remember the day so clearly it was the Friday before spring brake and I had the first game of the California Cup water polo tournament at 5 (witch my team got 1st in). I remember coming home an telling my big brother, Dan, and my mom that I wasn't going to be in leadership and had no chance of redeem my brother in the hierarchy of ASP witch as a 7th grader I wanted desperately to do. I was still vary shocked and confused and many tears were involved. Looking back on that day I'm glade it turned out the way it did. In truth it was a blessing in disguise; I herd things that I need to here they might not of come in the right way or at the right time but I'm not denying them I have many thing that I need to work on.  That day I felt like a pice of me was ripped away. I felt like I could never be my self again, but I am. This experience changed me and my perspective on life. I previously knew to roll with the bunches but it was difficult form me. Know that I have gone though this challenge and found my self again I now know that I will live and keep making mistakes but eventually finding my way foreword.

This first semester of my senior year I have gotten my best grades since freshmen year. Even though they were not all A's I'm still really happy with them. My goal for my Grades for this semester is to manly keep my Econ grade up. I have a feeling that economics is going to be more changing then any other of my class, but at the same time I'm intrigued in the first two class I have had so fare. I am truly excited for this last semester I have in High School. Unlike my peers, I plane to bush my self hared this semester. This will be the first season of high school swim that I'm applying my self to the sport that I use to love so much. I am also intending to work a lot at the pool fluffily 10 hours a week. Lucky for me I can do my homework at work. When it comes down to it I like to be busy it makes my focus on what is truly important and I know going into collage I need this focus to keep me on track. Knowing me I will always make time for some fun and I intend to make fun in place that are not. This I hope will allow my creativity to grow. Suck as, in one of my favorite class,  photo I am looking forward to the all images that I will produce. One of my projects has to be a documentaries, meaning that my printed images have to be accompanied by quotes from the subject matter, I plain to do it on my brother Dan he is an ironworker and is a connector. I hope to follow him to work one day and take pitches of him and his buddy's working. I have a feeling that with good combustion the will be wonderful. I am also looking forward to all the fun senior things that will accompany this semester: Ball, senior picnic, potter puff, lip sink, and graduation.But its not just the event I'm looking forward to its all the memories that we will make i really wish our class could come together and be a big family no jugging and just be able to know that everyone will remember a good time this last semester. If I had one wish!

Next Year I'm not sure ware I will be.... it will be one of:

• California State University Chico*
• California State University Humboldt*
• California State University Fresno 
• California State University East Bay 
• California State University Monterey
• Wester Washington University*
• Estern Washington University*
• Wester State Colorado University*

I know that ware every I end up i think I will do well in recreation. I just cant wait to here back and visit them and deiced a pone my path to my future.
  
My 3 SMART goals are:

1. My iQuest goal is to use my time more wisely. With our blessing of time I have used it according to my internship but I feel that I have more passion in other areas. In this way I love the idea of recreation not just because I know that its job that I can not only do but thrip in, I can still do all the things I love to do in my future not only as a side hobby but as apart of my job. So I hope to continue to use my time at Iron Horse but also find more time for photography, skiing, swimming, being out side, and helping people. I will measure this by the number of 3 I get on my prints in photo, how many days I ski this season (I'm at 5 day), for swimming the number of time I drop over the corse of the season, and for helping people the number of community service I do this semester.
2. My family/Freind goal is to feather and regrow my relation ship with both family and friends. I am starting to go back to my therapist fare soon I hope this will help me manage my mess of emotions and allow me to stray in this good place that I am. They will also help me measure this goal. I also hope to make a trip up to my favorite ants house this spring. Her and my Dad's mother died when they were in high school I have always wondered and wanted to know more about my Grandmother. So this last summer i asked my Ant Clair if i could come up and she could tell me about her she said yes and i still need to make that trip up to pen valley.
3. My last goal is about my health. One of the things that is driving me to do swimming this year is for my health. Not just to get fit but for my body's health. I have many injures that I know will not just go a way. I will have them for ever but I want to retune to swimming to show my self that with determination my injures will lesson and I will be able to live a lifestyle that I want to live, not always in pain this means that i have to work on my tendon strength and my storks technique. This will be measurable by my times this season and the amount of injury flareups.

THIS WILL BE A GOOD SEMESTER!
