Senior Year

As high school students, our main goal is to graduate. We all want to finish school and move on to other things. We want to leave school but what we don’t notice is that we are leaving the easy part behind. What is next is very different. As a senior I, have learned so many things this past year. Senior year has been extremely fun. Football games, pep-rallies, homecoming, senior week, and prom were just a few great events from my senior year. The next part is the most important day of our lives, which is gradu...

My first semester

January 13, 2017

As the fall semester of the 2016-2017 school year comes to an end, I am extremely shocked at how fast it has passed and a bit disappointed. I am disappointed because I feel that I wont like my classes next semester. This semester my classes were pretty chill, and I really liked the people in them. My classes included journalism, AP English, AP Spanish, BIM, and physics. I did not take the STAAR this semester, although it’s an easy test I’m not looking forward to testing in a few months. This semester was full of...

Three best memories of my 2k16

January 6, 2017

January 2016, well I was still an 8th grader, it was also my 14th birthday and I really didn’t do much a part of waiting for February to come around. When February came around that’s where I kind of celebrated my birthday a bit because we were going to Eagle Pass for competition. I met so many new people (from Memorial Middle), we had to share a bus which wasn’t that difficult since we were only very few kids. I made so many memories that day with everyone there at the competition and the ones that were helping us s...

High school senior reflects on experiences (blog)

May 24, 2016

As graduation draws nearer and nearer, I find myself reflecting on my overall high school experience. I didn’t have the most outgoing high school experience. I wasn’t really involved. I didn’t do anything much outside of skating. Literally this whole year was spent doing assignment after assignment and just trying to get through the last stretch. Honestly, I’m ready but I’m not ready. I’m ready to walk and go into the real world, get a job, pay bills, get my own place, and go to college. Life’s about...

May 24, 2016

The day we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. There won’t be any more “I’m getting to class late today.” There isn’t going to be any “today I’m not going.” We are a couple of days away from entering the real world. We are on our own now, and you are about to lose a lot of your so-called “friends”. These four years of high school experience have been really tiring, stressful and exciting. We have gone through so many tough stages and have managed to get out of all of them. These years have...

My unforgettable night

October 16, 2015

Everyone has that unforgettable night they will always remember. Mine was not too long ago, it was just last year when I turned fifteen. I had a great time with all of my closest friends and family. It was the best night I could ever have. I remember my big, puffy, blue dress. My shiny high heels and my beautiful hair and make-up. Besides how I was I still remember the place and how I felt. I was so nervous but excited. The party place was so pretty from the inside and had a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The...
