WHAT DO I WANT OUT OF MY SENIOR YEAR, AND FUTURE YEARS TO COME?
It’s amazing to think that I am a senior now. My mom seems to believe that I am still the little girl that wants to go play on the playground and would cry when she skinned her knee. Sorry Mom, I am not that girl. I’ve grown up, and now I am looking into the future, thinking about everything that I want to accomplish.
Thinking about graduation already and being part of the Class of 2011, worries me. What am I going to do after school? Where am I going to go? Where will I end up? Right now I know I want to go to T-Spa, in Ames. I know that I have to have the right grades, and the right attitude to be able to attend T-Spa.
My goal for academics this year is to have good grades, to get the scholarship. However, then there is basketball and softball, a totally different side of what I want out of my senior year. For basketball, I just want to be able to do my best and stay healthy, and not have to worry about what my body is going to not want me to do. Then, there is softball, one of my favorite sports. I know that I want to continue to have the best batting average, and base running on the Varsity squad.
Stormi, your post made me take a deeper look into my very own future plans and goals. It made me realize that I myself need to make that essential choice to where I want to attend to further my education after high school. You also seem to have a great potential to have a wonderful career ahead of you for both educational purposes and athletics. Keep up the good work! I could relate to your first paragraph when you said your mother still views you as her little girl. I feel the same way about my parents as well. They still see this young boy that they started to raise many years ago. Their love and affection, however smothering it may be, will always be for my best interests. It took me quite a while in my lifetime to figure that out. Your first post has moved and inspired me to new heights. It has forever changed my view and outlook on my senior year of high school. Thank you for sharing this post with me and essentially the rest of the world. As I said before and will say again, keep up the good work!
