When I walked into foothill on the first day of school, I wondered, am I going to have any friends? Will I get good grades? Will I just fail miserably? It was all going through my head at a million miles per hour. I had no clue what the school was going to be like, hearing all of the stories from Buena. So I held my breath walked in and hoped that I could make it through the first semester. Getting through the first semester was very good. All of the new freedom we got and going to foothill was the complete opposite of what I heard of high school. Getting to use our IPods, having late night video game sessions at the school. It seemed to be that high school was a lot better and a lot different than middle school. It felt more free to be at high school not so much of a jail, more of a small community. During my first semester I made friends but not really a set group, I just went where I felt like I wanted to hang out at. I still hung out with my old friends from middle school and played over Xbox live with them. I had met people at the L.A.N. party during the year. I really just roam around hanging out with different people, in a way I was rouge. My academics were exactly as I hoped they would be. My g.p.a. is a 3.57 and my grades have stayed the same. I seemed to be doing well in math which was a surprise to me. I was learning to speak Spanish very well. I was doing very good in P.E. and seemed like I was going to continue to do good. In Spanish, it is very hard to stay awake with Spanish being period one and the class be pretty boring. Same with MR. Duston, his monotone voice seems to be pretty boring but I manage to stay awake since he is my 6th period. But when I set my goals at the beginning of the year they I seemed to have fulfilled them. During my first semester I did not really do any sports. I did do my usually air soft at a field down at lake Elsinore but another than that nothing much. A little bit of roller hockey that just started up. I got exercise though by going to the gym and trying really hard in P.E. so that I would stay in shape from all of the time spent on playing video games so I would not become massively obese. But otherwise air soft I the sport that I spend most of my time on. It seems this past semester I have become a little bit closer to my family. Because of air soft I have to go all the way down to Lake Elsinore which is very close to San Diego and my brother lives down there so I get to visit him and he started to air soft with me. I have also become closer to my dad because when I got into air soft my dad decided to air soft with me and we have been doing it for about a year and a half now. I and my sister have become a little bit closer because she has been picking me up from school a lot more but we have not become much closer. Me and my mom have become closer because in sixth grade I had gotten bad grades and since then till now she has been proud of the grades that I am getting and how I have become a better person in general. Overall me and my family have become much closer in my first semester. Looking into the future as a freshman is a hard thing to do. I believe I am on the track to getting good grades and continuing to have a steady line of good grades. In order to keep the good grades I have to prepare myself for the upcoming finals so I can keep my grades. I hope in the future to continue doing well in my high school year and keep enjoying it. I hope that later in my freshmen year and also looking into later years of high school I make new friends and keep all of my past friends and friends that I made during my freshmen and later years. I hope that I can get out of P.E. by doing good on my semester finals in P.E. personally looking ahead I feel that I am steering my boat straight. As I was a nervous freshmen walking into foothill I feel as if weights have been taken off of my shoulder from all the pressure of succeeding and doing well in school and the high school community. I believe that if I continue doing my homework in all of my classes and do well on my tests I can make sure that I enjoy my high school years. I am Looking forward to all of the later L.A.N. parties and all of the opportunities to have fun. Over all my first semester went better than I thought. It was a lot better than middle school. I made a lot of friends and plan on hopefully making new ones in further years and maybe even this year. I hope to get out of fire after the end of the first semester. I plan on getting out of P.E. by the end of my sophomore year. I hope to have and continue to have good grades throughout my high school year. I want to continue playing air soft as a sport. I hope to end up attending more L.A.N. parties later in the year. I really hope that I do really well in math. But all together I would have to say that my first semester at foothill was a very good semester and I hope to enjoy more great times at foothill into the future.
