During my junior year in high school my mother started to have bad problems with her heart, and doctors could not figure out how to fix the condition. When she had surgery in May, I had to miss an AP exam and go with her due to the worry that I felt for her. They fixed the condition during surgery and she had to stay a few days for recovery and I helped take care of her until she was fully healed. And a few weeks later I took the make up AP test.

Throughout this school year I have learned many things; like the value of sleep, whose really your friend, and that although very important, grades are not everything.

    One of the biggest lessons I've learned is to never give up and that everything in life happens for a reason. Throughout my entire life my dreams have been put down by society, wether it was a coach, friend, or family member. Everything I gain is because of me and only me. When I started my first year of high school, I knew I wasn't ready to maintain my academics, my social life, and my sports schedule all at once. I was completely intimidated by everything occurring in my life at the time.

    He we go. Just me and myself now. I can write whatever I want and Mrs. Wesbecher can’t read it. To this point I have wrote about a lot of fun things I have done throughout high school, but that was just the PG version. Sophomore year is when things really began to heat up. One day over at Alex’s we found the key to his parents liquor cabinet. We did exactly what 15 year old guys would do, took some sips and wow did we think we were badasses. Looking back opening the cabinet taking a few sips and locking it back up really quick was quite comical. One night during Sophomore year it was Alex, Cal, and I, Alex drank a lot and we started to walk around town (no license yet). We walked around town for a long time with Alex’s sloppy ass. After a while

    When I was entering into High School, I tried to join as many clubs as I can, since I wanted not only to be superior in grades, but also extracurricular activities. So as usual, I joined Key Club. At first volunteering at the events was fun, but as I went to more events, it felt as if it was a chore. I did not feel any passion; it was rather tiresome.

    My palms were sweating, my heart was racing, I had no idea what to expect or who I was going to meet. I was never the type of girl to embrace new situations, I hated change and I wasn’t very good with meeting new people. I figured once I got to high school it would be my chance to start all over, turn the page in my book of life, and flip over a new leaf. I wanted to finally be the girl that fit in with everyone. I had imagined myself going to parties with big groups of my new friends, having sleepovers and doing all of the things cool high school kids normally do. I was certain that my high school career would be just like one of those really corny teen movies and I would live happily ever after with the homecoming crown and the boy of my dreams. I don’t think I could have been any further from the actual truth. Things don’t always turn out how they are planned and my high school dreams definitely did not live up to my high expectations.

    remember it all like it was yesterday. My history teacher assigned that one big project that is worth half your grade. It was Tuesday morning of my junior year in high school, I walk into class and the day starts good until he hands out the assignment and gives us the due date. The project was to create a diagram from the 1900's to the 1950's or write a 5 page essay. I had been working hard the whole school year to maintain an “A,” but soon none of that would matter. All the nights I stayed up to study for the test and all the study guides I rushed to turn in before the first bell in the AM wouldn’t help me anymore. As a student my grade wasn't jeopardized on all my hard work, but by one simple project. My procrastination had finally put

    Sophomore year definitely had a lot of ups and down that will influence my decisions in the future. One of the most influential class I had was English. Especially managing my time. In English, we learned to analyze text in the book and it allowed me to pay more attention to the meaning in the context rather than just reading the words. English class made me think a lot and this honestly the first time I learned numerous lessons. In the past I have always waited to the last minute and procrastinate, but in English the first semester, we wrote a lot of essays that required time. the main reason I would procrastinate is because throughout middle school and freshman year, we hardly had any homework and so I was very lazy and reluctant to do work.

    Growing up I attended schools where white was the minority. One day towards the end of my sophomore year in high school, we were reviewing for the state exam we had to take in a few weeks. Our teacher excused himself from the room and one of the school security guards came in to watch us while we worked. We were working silently on our questions that were focused on the Holocaust. Suddenly someone behind me asked loud enough for everyone to hear “Samantha was your grandfather a Nazi?” I was completely blindsided. I had never really spoken to this person before. I calmly explained to him that my family was in the United States when the war started. All of a sudden, someone else asked “So did your family own slaves?” After I explained that this too was false, I found some people looking at me with skepticism, the security guard being one of them. These were questions that I had grown accustomed to over the years. I was used to some of my

I was able to make a full recovery and to this day have no issues with my leg or back because of the care and knowledge of the nurses and doctors that took such great care for me in my time of need.
