Junior year has been quite stressful compared to my freshmen and sophomore year, mainly because I'm not used to all the homework and due dates which have led me to procrastinating, and when I procrastinate it's to the max. I am used to having my facilitators explain everything as a whole class and many of us moving together as a class to get our assignments in on time just to be on pace.
Last year was very different from the beginning of this year such as the work ethic, being able to work with friends, having spare time to just hang out with friends, and in many ways the work is much harder than what people said it was going to be. Normally, my study habits are bad, but I am currently in the middle of getting my act together because if I truly want to attend college, which I plan to do so, I have to become a better student. In the previous years I have not cared about any of my work and also I didn't care about how far I got. Lately I've been getting many talks and speeches about where I want to go college, what I want to become, and it would be a great accomplishment for me since my parents didn't finish college. This year I want to accomplish much more than I have in the past; I also want to attend a university but for now, my plans after high are to attend a junior college up north in Eureka, Ca., until I get enough credits to transfer to a university. The one I've been wanting to go to is Humboldt State University because it’s a beautiful school and it’s a great learning and it's a quite studying place. I've accomplished many things over the years such as keeping up my grades and doing my very best in school. I need to finish a class and then I’ll be on full pace to graduate. I have one main struggle in school which is that I have a hard time learning faster than some people do. I am working much harder to stay on pace and not to struggle as much as I have in the past. I've learn to not fall behind the hard way because it will later catch up with me in the end. This has been the one of the toughest years I've had since recently I have lost many people in my life this year such as my friends who have been there for moral support, over the past two years, I haven’t had a mother figure in my life but that was because of her mistakes, and I have lost my Tia to cancer. In early July I found out that my cousin had leukemia and that my other cousin has the same cancer that my Tia died from. It’s been tough on me since I’m very close to my family and with all this happening it has a huge weight over my shoulders because as I am concerned about everything at once. I over think too much about anything and any assignments and it just ends up stressing me out.
