First+Semester+Final

Today I am officially a 9th grader. After going through these past few months I realized I am no longer a middle schooler I am now a high schooler. Even though my life of being in middle school is over I am open to all the new adventures I will face in high school. Even though now I in high school it still feels like that just a month ago I was back in middle school hanging with my friends but now it is time to realize that time is gone and it is time to move on to a better future. At first school was a challenge for me but so far it is not that hard anymore because my middle school years are fading into the past and high school is my future. Well after getting used to some of my classes it really feels like high school has just began.

Although some people may think that geometry is boring but they haven’t met Mr. Villa. I have it for 3rd period. He is the best geometry teacher I have ever had. Although even though I really am not that good at working withhapes but at least I try even though I mess up all the time but other than that I love that class. Mr. Villa makes class so much fun when especially when it is the most boring thing ever. After watching Mr. Villa dance around and sing it shows how funny of a teacher he is. He is probably the best teacher I have this year besides Mr. Geib.

Well Mr. Villa isn’t the only teacher that I’ve had this year so another is Mr. Prewitt. The next class I have that is alright is Geography/Health and I have 1st period. This class is alright I guess but we really do watch too many videos that you would really never want to watch in real life outside of class. We also do learn a lot of things too but mainly we do a lot of speaking out loud in class which I guess is a good thing. Although the best part about it is that I have learned many things about health and history that I never would have known before so it helps out a little.

Well the next one of my favorite classes is AVID. In my AVID class we learn about how to get to college and we also learn about other colleges. Well the part that is not so fun is that almost every time we have class we do tutorials which are really not that fun but it does help you with your work I guess. Even though we do a lot of tutorials we do have our fun days in class. Especially some of the fun times in AVID were when we made ginger bread houses and when we had an AVID bounding day. The funny part about it is everyone who isn’t in AVID say they don’t want to be in it because they think we take to many notes but we don’t which is really good because I don’t know what I would do if I had to take that many notes.

Jasmine's First Semester Final Brainstorming Diagram! The next one of the classes I have is P.E. for 5th period and I go to the YMCA. This class is alright but I really don’t like doing anything and I have to admit I really don’t do anything in class sometimes when I don’t feel like it. This is probably almost every time we go. Although I do works out some but not really hard like everyone else. Well even though I really don’t like working out it does help when I have a bunch of friends there to work out with me and talk to me when we work out so that the time goes by so much faster.

The next one of my classes I really like is my 4th period class and that is EDA. I have EDA with Mrs. Faulconer and she makes class so funny and especially when she calls us “Angel Potatoes”. I really like having her as a teacher because she is the type of teacher that you would probably never have. Also she really helps me learn a lot more about computers then I ever did before and that really makes a difference because now since I have been in her class I know how to work my laptop at home then I have ever been able to.

Well in English 7th period as you know is a fun class and even though I really don’t like to read I am getting better at it and especially after Mr. Gieb told everyone in his 4th period class I don’t like to read. It really does not bother me I just think it is funny because it’s true. Although some of the books we have read this year like 1984 have been good books but 1984 was a really depressing book and I really would never want to read it but I am really looking forward to Romeo and Juliet this year. Although I do have to admit that all the parties we have had this year make it really funny and especially the funniest part of it was when Ceejae got locked out of the class. Well I really enjoy this class very much.

My last class, Biology 2nd period which I really do not like. Not to be mean or anything but Mr. Duston is not my favorite teacher. The reason why is that whenever he tries to be funny he always messes it up and then whenever I am in his class I always feel like I am not learning anything when I really should be. He is nice but I would not call him my exact favorite teacher. The only way I see him is just as one of my teachers that I won’t have for much longer this year. Although the best part of this year is when we do experiments in class. My friends will never be my family but they are like my second family. Even though most of my friends from my old school went to VHS I will never forget them and some of them I still talk to but it is so hard since we have total different worlds. Although I have met so many people here at this school and they are my best friends. I would do anything for them and hopefully they would be there for me too.

Well some of my friends that went to VHS are Deisy, Rebecca, Jaina, and many more. I always try to keep in contact with them but it is so hard. No matter how far apart we are they will always be my friends and I will always have their back because in the past they were always there for me when I needed them.

Well one of the people I met here at Foothill is Amanda Manriquez. She is now one of my best friends in the world. We are always hanging out together and especially sometimes on the weekends when we go to the movies together. She is a super nice person and I am really glad I met her because I would be upset if I didn’t meet a person like her this year.

Although another person I met that is a really good friend is Alie O. she is such a fun person to be around and she is really smart. I always hangout with her and a bunch of other friends. The last time we hangout after school was when us and a few other friends went to the movies and seen Joyful Noise. It was so cool hanging out together. Another one of my friends I met this year is Grace Stewart. She is a really nice person and she is also in my AVID class along with Alie and Amanda M. Well Grace is a really cool friend and she is really smart. Also whenever I have any problems I can always go to her for advice and she knows I am always there when she is in need of help. Well some people I now go to school with that I went to school with in the past is Lilia, Joel, Chloe, LIzbeth, Jocelyn, Ciena, Francisco(Kiko), Robert and Isaac. They all were people I knew from the past. It was kind of cool to see people I went to middle school with and elementary school with. I am just glad I have a lot of friends at Foothill that I know will always be there for me all four years of high school.

Finally my family, the people that mean the most to me. The person in my family that means the most to me is my mom. She is always there no matter what happens. Even though there are many people in my family the main people are my mom, dad, and my two sisters. Well I don’t exactly live with one of my sisters. Even though I wish she did she lives with her dad but we still talk but her name is Alyssa. My other sister’s name is Vanessa and I do live with her and she drives me insane sometimes and I really can’t stand it but that is just little sisters. Well I do love both of them with all my heart but I sometimes can’t stand little sisters because they get into everything and it really sucks. Well my mom’s name is Elsie but I just call her mom. She is my role model and I always go to her when I need to. The last person in my family that really drives me insane is my dad. He always yells at me and sometimes I get tired of it but I know he is just trying to protect me. Although sometimes it feels like he is trying to be a little over protective but I love him and that’s all that matters even if I hate hearing him yell at me.

Well hopefully the next few years will be as good as this year or even better. Also I hope that I get to know more people and that next semester is as good as this one because I really thought the beginning of the year has gone better than I thought it was going to be. The reason this semester is better than I thought it would be is because I thought high school was going to be scary but it is the best thing that has happened in a long time even though there has been many ups and downs. Hopefully high school is the best experience ever.
