Reading, Reading, and more Reading!!!

I have always loved to read! <3 Ever since I can remember I have been reading. I even remember that when I was in 1st Grade I read more than one hundred books! Since I have started high school though, I have found myself not having the time to do this one thing, which to me is enjoyable, as well as educational and relaxing. Now more than ever, I have a job that takes a lot of my time, and homework that goes on for miles, so the only reading I have done has been for book reports. Even though this has been going on, I have read two 300+ page books in less than 4 days! I have fully engulfed myself and can't stop reading! Yes, maybe they are "chick flicks" talking about everything from teenage drama to marriage at a young age, but I just can't help myself! I have rediscovered my passion for reading and I don't think it will end soon. All I can say is I am a complete book worm and now have found out why people call me a nerd!!!  :)

Preparing to become a Senior.... :)

Being a Junior this year, we look up to the Senior Class pondering what it will be like when we get there, when we are the top class. Yes, we can have competions when it comes to class games and PowderPuff Football, but no matter what, everyone can't wait to be a Senior. During the middle of Writing class I was called to guidence, and of course I knew what it was about. I have been waiting to be able to plan my Senior year, my year, the year that I was going to do what I wanted!! I was very nervous, but I knew I would'nt be alone. After chosing the classes that I thought were best for me, like Health Occ. , Honors Classes, Duel Credit Classes, and Photography, I knew this is what I should do. I use to think that I was dumb, but after pushing myself farther and farther, I now realize that I am a great student and that there is no reason not to push myself to my full potential!!! Yes, it will be difficult because I am sure I will have alot of homework, and I know that I will have to step up even more and handle all the responsibility that will come with all this, but I have faith in myself!!! I CAN do this!!!! I'm so glad that our highschool has all these great opportunties that students, like myself, can take advantage of!!
