Right about now I'm not really sure how I feel about my future. I'm still only 17 years old. I do have thoughts about my future and how scary It can be. My future will surely come with hardships and confussion but If this didn't happen how would I ever learn.
Some of my goals for the near future are to stay in school of course, that's my number one and then to go on to college. I first need to graduate high school and then I will plan on what I will do in college. I want to be a pediatrician or a Respiratory therapist. I'm not sure yet, I want to talk to my older sister about it.
My previous experiences have prepared me because I have been through a lot and I'm much more mature. I'm not that same little immature girl who wouldn't ever listen to what other people had to say. I've also been through many obstacles that have strengthened me. I'm most likely not going to just give up with out trying. I have expectations for myself that I'm truley looking forward to.
In order to achieve my goals I need to stay in school, that's one of the number one things in my life. I will also have to go to college and accomplish my courses. The other thing I need to do is to stay positive and to stay focused. There is no more room for playing around when it comes to my work and to my future.
Well I really don't know who could and will help me so therefore I am on my own for now.
I believe I can and will achieve all of my goals because that's the kind of person I am. I won't let negative people have control of my life anymore!

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Achievement
My biggest achievement from the past two years is me actually staying in school and not making accomplishments. I have been very immature in the past and have now realized that that is no way im going to get what I need to succeed in life. I'm just glad that I'm here and that I have a better head on my shoulders. Me going on to high school was a really big deal for me. I felt so acomplished and happy. For me and my future involves me having a good education which means me staying in school. I have achieved a great deal in the past two years. I could have just dropped out and ended pretty much everything but nope I chose to stay in and to do well because I'm smart and bright and I know I can do it.
Portfolio - Improvement
Over the past two years, I have changed a bit. I say this because I remember when I was in middle school I was a real immature and could care less about how I was doing. I would come to my classes late and when It was time to do work me and my friends would just pretend to be doing something and just talk. We were young and realized we had nothinig to worry about, our teachers had to pass us no matter what.
My writing skills before high school was good. I may have moved a lot but English was always my favorite subject. I loved writing essays and writing assignments. I have improved in my reading and writing skills since then. To me reading books is like one of the best ways of learning better English and writing skills. I enjoy it.
My speaking skills before high school have always been okay. Iv'e always been the kind of person who talks a lot with friends and social people but when getting in front of class and having to give a speech or presenting a project, well that's something Iv'e always had problems with. Still to this day I'm having those same problems. When I talk people understand me and grasp what I'm saying so it's not like I just talk jiberish. I want to be a good speaking person who can go out there in life and know what to say in front of an audience and not forget everything I have just written down. I'm still working on this speaking skill though.
My group working skills before high school have been good. When there was an assignment or project that had to be done, me and a group of people would get together and work on it. Going to the library was always the best place to go because it was just so peaceful and we had a lot of consentraion. However, now I'm not so sure. I still really do like working in groups and everything but people don't always help out. Sometimes they expect the work to be done and then they will get a good easy A. That's not things go down with me though. If you want an A, you better earn it. I still do get assingments with assigned partners and try to get everyone involved because it's more fair and more fulfilling.
My technology skills before high school was okay. Of course I did need to know how to use a computer and cell phone if I did want to go onto Myspace. It was manditory. I mean I did know the basics, like I knew about powerpoints, opening Word, searching websites, finding pictures and getting important information off of the computer. I love technology, I don't know who wouldn't. My technology skills are some what better. I still most deffinantley have trouble with the computers though. I'm not sure why but it seems like when I have something I need to do on these things, it's like for some reason I don't understand whats happening. It is funny and sad in a way. I am trying to get better with my technology these days by having an all technology class this year. I'm pretty sure if I did not have Ms. Preisters class I would not have learned all these new neat interesting things. I'm going to continue with what I have learned and with what I still should learn. It most likely will come very handie in life.
Now that I have finally found a stable place where I can relax and focus more on school work I know that I can do even better academically. All I have to do is stay positive and stay really focused on what I need to get done. It is very easy to just give up and say "who cares". That is an option, but why would I do and say that when I know I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I have quit a lot in my life that I have just feel so mad at myself sometimes so don't intend on doing it again. I'm going to push forward and continue to do my work and make the best out of all the oppertunitys they give you here at Spa. I'm looking forward to graduating my senior year.2014.

Unhealthy Meal Choices
The fast food industry should not target kids with unhealthy meal choices. One reason this is not a good idea is because this can mean a really bad eating habit on children at a young age. It's not right for young children to have a such an obese eating habit at that age because when they are barley in there young stage of life there makes no since of the little ones to be over weight. Another reason why it's not good to target kids with these commercials and fun toys is because the kids could really want to go and get some good tastey chicken nuggets and the parents may not have enough money to take them. The kids most likely won't get there way and start to throw a fit. I'm pretty sure no parent wants that. It just adds more stree to there daily lifes. Additionally, It is up to the parents to actually take the kids to these kinds of places which is okay but not everyday. I mean yes the advertisments are bad but whos the one taking there own children. The parents. It lies on the adults mostly. In conclusion, people should have more control over the situation and sometimes be a little more strict. Parents should take kids out now and then but if it's a everyday thing or every other day thing, thats a big no no. Just have a better eye out there when it comes to fast food and children.
My Educational Experiences
Due to my educational experiences, I am currently struggling with Biology because I have moved around so much it was hard for me to actually learn something. There was never enough time to focus and to start trying to understang it. I was in a new school then I was out. It was difficult focusing on class work and even harder doing my homework.
The teacher would be talking and what she would say would go past me. It's like she was speaking a different language. I did try sometimes, like when I felt like I really had to get something down I would ask for help to try to really understand. When we did get homework it was pointless for me to even get assigned it. The situations me and my sisters where facing, we just couldn't do it. However if I did get a worksheet in a class I would ask my older sister for help on that because she was and still is the smart one. She was the one who would help me out with all that she could.
Now that I am not in the same situation as I was in before, I try even more harder to get what I need to get done done. It's very important to me to go to pass high school and to get all my credits done with. I want to accomplish so much in life, starting with graduating my senior year and then of course going to college. After all that has happened in my past all I can do now is stay strong and keep moving on positive. So I can keep going to school and doing my work to make sure I can graduate and become successful in life. That's my plan.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle
A big obstacle I've had to deal with is actually staying in one place. Me and my sisters have always had to move here and there. It was a difficult because when we did end up at a different place we would have to meet new people which I hated doing. All I wanted to do was stay in San Diego where I've grown up. It was hard on all three of us. Sarah, Melissa and me. It was pointless moving around all the time. Moving all around and going to different schools was crap. I could care less about any other place. There was no other place I felt more comfortable than SD. It was just confusing and very difficult. I guess it was just ment to be. Everything really does happen for a reason.
Sometimes I would feel mad, sad, scared, weak, and just like what the heck man! Really couldn't have done anything about the situation. All I could really do is talk to my sisters about how I felt and how they felt. There was never any point talking to my mom who couldn't listen to us.
After going through this time it's always been frusterating. Sometimes I think about the past but then I realize theres nothing I can change about it now. So now I just try to stay strong and realize I just have to keep moving on and be a good role model for my sister. We have been through everything together and I love her. I feel like I am more miture and more smarter about things. I'm just glad it's over with and that it's in the past. All I can do now is think about the future and do my best to achieve the things I want.
