"This tricks do help. The way I remeber things is write things down on a calender by my door that way when I walk out I will see it. I also use my phone because you could add reminders to make sure you dont forget.  "

"It's cool that you found something that interests you. Some students finish college and still don't know what they want to do. Going out and getting experience in the real world like you did is a great way to get started. Good for you!"

Are you or your siblings the first in your family to attend college?
Yes
What are the biggest challenges you faced or are facing as a high school student? How did you overcome those obstacles?
My biggest challenges I faced through high school was been a teenage mother without my family support. During the second semester of my freshman year I found out I was pregnant. That’s when my problems started, many of my teachers will not treat me the same because they believed I wasn’t there to learn which I have prove them right my first semester. I was forced to move out from my house and I moved in with my boyfriend. My sophomore year I started a new school in which everyone had an opinion of me and not only that but a school counselor believe I belonged in a continuation school and a regular school. It was hard getting through my second year of high school because I was not getting enough sleep and whenever I sat to do homework I had to take care of my daughter. I worked really hard through the rest of high school and kept in mind that after all that hard work I was going to end up with a high school diploma which no one could take away from me. Luckily I had my mother in law who was always there to motivate me to keep on moving forward.
What are your educational goals? What are you doing to reach those goals?
My main goals are to finish my pre med requirements and get a Bachelor degree in Biology. To reach these goals I attended The National Hispanic University to finish my general education classes. After attending this school for two years I applied to transfer to Santa Clara University because The National Hispanic University doesn't offer biology as one of their majors. Now I’m getting ready to attend Santa Clara University this fall.
What do you like to do for fun? (Select all that apply)
Art, Dancing, Movies, Music, Reading, Shopping, Video Games, Other, Mathematics, Science

My senior year in high school

Posted on January 20, 2012 at 6:21pm 1 Comment

Like any other senior I was excited to graduate and could not wait for the day to come. At the same time I was worry because I decided to go to college my junior year which gave me no time to get ready to apply to colleges. So even though I knew I had a little bit of time I decided to apply to San Jose State and San Francisco State. A couple of months after applying I found out that my application was not going to be considered unless I fixed the D I had in my freshmen English class. I went…

It is your last year and some of you might think this is the easiest year because you are ready to graduate. All you need to do this year is to pass your classes. You are wrong I felt like my senior year was the most difficult one from all the 4 years because you need to pass all your classes then finish all the senior projects your teachers give you, then if you are applying to colleges you need to do the applications, then if you haven’t done the ACT or the SAT you also need to take one of…

My junior year in high school

As a junior I went to CCOC to learn more about medical careers so I enrolled in the health occupation class. To get enroll in CCOC I had to do many things the first thing I did was to go to a field trip to the school to learn about the classes they offer. After the field trip I had to talk to the person in the career center to make sure I could get in because classes get full really quick. There are many school districts that do this program so there a lot of students trying to get in to the…

You are probably excited to start your junior year because once you are done with this year you will only have a year until you graduate. So junior year should be a piece of cake you have been in high school for two years and you have made it so far. Like I said before make sure you meet your a-g requirements to graduate and to get into college if that’s your plan after graduation.  By now you should know if you pass the CAHSEE which is a math and English test that is taken your sophomore…
