¡Que comience el primer año!
-La primera vez que entré en el Campus de Lindsay de la preparatoria como estudiantes de primer año me sentí tan sorprendido en la vista. Esta escuela se va a poner a mí en paso más cerca de la vida adulta y el éxito . Durante mi primer año de ser un cardenal he visto a mucha gente y me encontré con algunos viejos amigos e hice otras nuevas a lo largo del año como estudiantes de primer año . Yo quería unirse a clubes deportivos y pero yo no era una persona spirted la escuela en mi escuela me concentré en el trabajo escolar y mis aficiones . En cuanto a los deportes que tenía un poco de interés en él , especialmente el fútbol, pero luego perdí el interés en unirse y ignoré y dijo que tal vez el próximo año . Entonces llegó el día de la primer rally que tenía que ir a como estudiantes de primer año y cuando entré en el rally de todo lo que oí fue abucheando de todos upperclassmens en la escuela allí . Empecé a reírme de lo divertido que era sobre cómo mi clase de tratar de hacer una reaparición , no hemos tenido una oportunidad en las otras 3 clases de nosotros.
"The Beginning"
The 3 years of Lindsay High School went so fast that now I'm currently a senior at this moment. My freshmen year, sophomore year, and junior year had so many obstacles, but I achieved the ones that interfered with my education and life. My senior year so far is pretty amazing because I have some classes that I like and some friends that I can talk to or study within a class. I’m still living in Lindsay with my family and friends here and nothing much has changed on my senior year.
I’m not on pace this year because I still need two classes that I haven’t finished during my sophomore year and junior year. I haven’t finished biology but the only thing I needed was four measurement topics for second semester. I didn’t take biology the whole junior year because the class was full and I was really upset about it, but I finished some measurement topics last summer break when I went to summer school. I was somewhat relieved about passing some topics in biology during summer break. Another class that I’m behind is English 11 because the only things that have to get fixed in that class is upgrading my 2.5’s into 3’s on educate. I just need second semester stuff from English 11 and I’ll be on pace for the English course. I still need a lot of stuff for my senior project for example I needed to be done with my job shadow in my junior year but i didn't want to do it that year because i was too shy to it. Also I still don’t have any clubs and activities in my website so far. As in right now I’m currently working on my journal #1 for my senior project.
The thing that was really interesting was the job shadow because you can look at someone's job perceptive and view how life is with that job. And it can teach the responsibilities that the person will take on the job they have. Then it can show me how to be prepared for that job that I want to take in the future and to follow the career goal that I want to be when i get older. Another interesting thing about the senior project is that the website is public and I can just put the link and I will see the memories that I had during high schools years on attending the Lindsay High School. I’m looking forward on my senior year because I have many challenges that I have to face in order to succeed in life for example, I still need to face my biggest enemy of all, the senior exit interview. I never made a presentation in my whole life but now I need to stand tall and take a huge breath in order to pass my senior year with a win. The goals that I want to achieve this year is to get 220 credits or even more on my senior year and to make my last year in Lindsay High School a most honorable moment in my life. Also the goals that i'm setting for the future are to get my dream job; police officer. Another goal that I want for the future is to pass college.

"Puesta en obra"
Finalmente me hecho con mi segundo semestre del grado de secundaria Inglés, ahora que eso ha hecho que tengo que luchar por mi clase que no he pasado todavía es la biología. En el día de hoy estoy en camino en los siete clases porque tenía una parada importante cuando todas las personas mayores del año pasado me dijeron que la economía era una clase muy duro, pero me dijeron que era mejor manera de conseguirlo en el primer semestre por lo que no tiene que ser estresante cuando se trata de punto de terminar esa clase hacia el último semestre de mi último año. Cuando supe que yo estaba muy relajado por el hecho de que es mejor tener la clase más difícil primero y obtener a través de ella y estar cómodo al final del semestre de mi último año. A partir de ahora estoy en Medición tema tres en la economía y en el primer día que pisé esa clase yo estaba pensando a mí mismo que "espero que pase esta clase para graduarse". Y mírame ahora! Pasé los dos temas siguientes de medición y actualmente en camino en dicha clase. Estoy en la medición tema tres y todo lo que necesito es éste e ir a la siguiente!
"Putting In Work"
I finally got done with my second semester of junior grade english, now that that's done I have to strive for my class that I haven’t passed yet is biology. On to this day I’m on pace on all seven classes because I had a major shutdown when all the seniors from last year told me that economics was a really hard class but they told me that was way better to get it on your first semester so that you won’t have to be stressful when it comes to point of finishing that class towards last semester of my senior year. When I heard that myself I was really relaxed by the fact that It's better to have the hardest class first and get through it and be comfortable at the end of the semester of my senior year. As of right now I’m on Measurement topic three on economics and on the first day I stepped on that class I was thinking to myself that “I hope I pass this class in order to graduate”. And look at me now! I passed the following two measurement topics and currently on pace on that class. I’m on measurement topic three and all I need is this one and go to the next one!
In english I’m on pace on that class and happy that I got done with junior grade english and currently working on senior grade english so that I can know my knowledge of english and go towards to college level of english. As I said on this journal is that I want to get done with economics and that is my first accomplishment before the end of this semester, also to get done with my other electives and classes….pretty much to get done with all my classes in order to graduate. The difficulties that I have on my senior project is getting my job shadow done because I’m really lagging it since my brain tells me constantly “let’s be a procrastinator”. And my brain decides to get me off topic by telling me to play videogames and ignore everything I have to finish.
The thing I will like to enjoy on to my senior project is the job shadow because I can learn what I will do towards my dream job. Knowing that they can show me the skills and how everything operates by looking at their perspective. As of right now this senior year is going by pretty fast but the things I like enjoying is spending time with my friends because maybe we all have a different path and never meet again, so might as well enjoy it for this last year. Also knowing that Lindsay High School is going to be my last year I graduated from and with my friends too.
My steps I have for my post-graduation life is quite in the process of being developed for me in order to live my life in the outside world from my little town. Well my steps are pretty simple, go to college for two years in order to get a associate's degree so that I can get well paid for the job I want to get. Take police academy in my community college so that I can achieve my dream job of being a police. Then when I get the job of being a police officer I can save up money to get the necessities I will use throughout my life. When it comes to being supported from my family, my family is there first when I’m in need. They remind me to time to time that if I completed my applications for my community college that I will attend and so on.

"El final está cerca"
Mi descanso de invierno ha sido bien conmigo , pero no ha habido una gran cantidad de inconvenientes durante las tres semanas de descanso . Me dije que me gustaría hacer algunas o un grupo de trabajo o durante el descanso, sin embargo, yo no hice nada en absoluto y sólo relajado hasta que empezó la escuela . Además, me dije a mí mismo que haría todo lo sombra de trabajo durante las vacaciones de invierno, lo hice una parte de ella girando en el paseo a lo largo de la aplicación. Cuando me di vuelta en , me dijeron que me van a llamar para obtener preparado para ello , pero nunca me llamaron desde ese día en adelante . Tal vez fue parcialmente mi culpa porque nunca he tomado la molestia de volver a llamar.
"The End Is Near"
My winter break has been alright with me, but there has been a lot of cons during the three weeks of relaxation. I told myself that I’d do some or a bunch or work during the break, however, I didn’t do anything at all and just relaxed until school started. Also, I said to myself that I would do my job shadow during winter break, I did a portion of it by turning in the ride along application. When I turned it in, they told me that they’re going to call me to get ready for it, but they never called me back since that day on. Maybe it was partially my fault because I never bothered to call back.
As my first semester passed by there was only one thing I loved. Economics class. First, I get to hear news from my economics teacher every time I had him. The news he said made a spark towards my brain in order to function to his whole class and other classes after this one because all he said was from news that impacted the country to nationwide and how important it fitted through topic of economics, but know I have government and I’m going to miss him talking about the news from across the other room. Economics class helped me use my time wisely and it did help me a little bit but the most important thing I got from that class was the importance of economics in everyday life. I regret not getting my driver's license during first semester it’s really irritating that many people post pictures of them talking about getting their license on social media. I know it's a success movement towards being a responsible adult, but then again I get encouragement from the pictures so that I can take the written exam as soon as possible too and do the same thing their doing on social media. Everytime that happens my mind loses encouragement after twenty minutes from studying the drivers ed handbook and just stop. I’m just the king of procrastination for every situation that faces me in a daily basis.
I remember I woke up on a monday morning to get ready for school and I just completely stopped for a whole minute and just thinking about reality of the responsibility I have when I become an adult such as taxes, bills, food, and etc. At first I completely ignored it because it's just probably me being sleepy due to a monday morning, but then it became a burden to me and my mind kept reminding me about reality constantly. This happened to me the whole day and I just kept ignoring it, but this is going to a point that even my brain is telling me that reality is knocking on the door, waiting for me to enter the adult world that I have to discover on my own. Now let's go into topic about what I need to accomplish this semester before graduation. The classes that I really need to focus on is just four classes which are: English, Biology, Government, and Spanish. All the other classes I don't really mind because there all my electives that are really easy in my schedule. The first three are my core classes that every student has to pass in order to graduate and the last one is my pathway that I have chosen. At this point I need to accomplish these major classes before the semester is over because there my classes that I need in order to get my high school diploma in my hand on that special day for me.
Am I that wonderful student that applied for a few dozen colleges or universities or get good SAT or ACT scores? No. My college preparations are not meeting my requirements either. For instance during my junior year I was so excited to apply for all the colleges or universities throughout America, nope. “Dream big” right? not for me, all I applied was to a community college and those expectations for me in junior year went straight to a dumpster. And as the progress for me finding a useful job for post-graduation went to one percent progress because the only thing I could do was apply for fast food joints in early October and I got no response on the fast food places not one bit. Its funny that not even fast food places won't hire me. My parents told me that you have to contact them when you turned in your applications for the job but what's the whole point of me putting contact information or maybe I’m just being ignorant from the tips my parents are telling me to do.

"El camino es claro"
Estoy muy nerviosa acerca de la graduación porque sólo hay una cosa que realmente quiero conseguir es una calificación aceptable en la entrevista de salida Senior. Cuando se llega a esto tengo para tener éxito en ella y superar mi obstáculo de ser nervioso y tímido y dejar que mi flujo vaya en modo que pueda pasar . Realmente necesito practicar mi entrevista con mis amigos para que me puede obtener consejos sobre lo que hice mal o bien y , finalmente, cuando se trata de mi oportunidad de conseguir la real I se pueden preparar y voy a estar a gusto . En este momento eso es todo lo que quiero lograr , porque todas las clases que tengo en este momento , estoy en camino. Muchos estudiantes tienen un buen número de notas tomadas de estar preparado para la post- graduación como guardar el dinero , tener un coche , y muchos otros preparados para cualquier adolescente que está listo para empezar allí para el mundo real . En cuanto a mí me falta en las notas que necesita con el fin de conseguir preparado en mi vida en solitario .
"The Path Is Clear"
I’m really nervous about graduation because there's only one thing that I really want to get is a passable grade on the Senior Exit Interview. When it comes down to it I have to succeed on it and overcome my obstacle of being nervous and shy and let my flow go in so that I can pass it. I really need to practice my interview with my friends so that I can get tips on what I did bad or good and eventually when it comes to my chance to get the actual one I can be prepared and I will be at ease. At this moment that's all I want to accomplish because all the classes I have right now, I'm on pace.
Many students have quite a few notes taken down from being prepared for post-graduation such as saving up money, having a car, and many other preparations for any teen who is ready for there start for the real world. As for me I’m lacking on the notes I need in order to get prepared in my solo life. Let's start with the first problem which is to legally drive a motor vehicle also known as a driver's license. Many students in Lindsay High School have transportation to go to school in fact, a portion of them don't have a driver's licence, but hey that's none of my business, because they at least know how to drive to school rather than me .The business I have to get into is how I am going to get to my detestation to my community college when I get older. My friends told me that at this point just carpool with someone in order to take me to college, but then again it's a ride to school, but you're that one guy that doesn't have a driver's license at the moment. I’m not using my time wisely in this situation, but for sure I’ll get my drivers licence during my late senior year.
I still need to get my classes done and finish my senior exit interview. Simple right? as of right now somewhat yes, and for community hours I’m fine because I got my community service hours finished, but just need to turn them in. For the senior exit interview I need to practice in front of my family or friends so that I can get some feedback on what I did wrong or good so that I can get myself a good interview to the panelists. There's lots of events that I’ll be looking forward to in the future such as practicing walking graduation day, grad night, prom night, and getting my diploma on that special day. I mean these events will be the best for me (I hope) for days I have for the class of 2016 of Lindsay High School. For instance, practicing for walking ceremony will be the most exciting because you're walking like a sir down the red carpet aisle to get that diploma that I have been waiting through the thirteen years of education I taken through my life. Then for grad night you get to go to a field trip! And this is really rare for a senior or in general a high schooler to go to a field trip because most students in Lindsay High School don't really go to field trips. The trip only includes all the seniors who want to go to the trip and the trip is to Disneyland, I never been there so maybe that's why I really hyped up for. Another event that will be spectacular is the day for prom because that's the day you get take that “special person” to the dance and make fun memories with them and your friends. The prom will usually be the last dance that you will be able to have with people you knew throughout high school and will never see them again in the future of adulthood. The last event will be the most impactful one during my timeline of the life of “Juan Orozco-Barajas” because that special diploma proves that I can change my life, parents, future, family, and friends.
I’m most grateful for having my parents, friends, and teachers give me the support through out the path of success that they had made for me so that I can walk on it like a piece of cake. Also looking back on the memories I made in my senior year so that I can show them to my kids in the future. Time is precious and you can only live young once so I have to make this last year a worthy one for me and make my brothers know that education is the key to success no matter the cost.
