“I am having a relaxed senior year. I spend much less time in school now, which lets me zero in on my few classes and do better in them, opposed to juggling eight classes at once while being in school for six hours. I have AP Microeconomics with Mr. Hardy and English IV with Mr. Pereira. I am also taking statistics at Sierra College for dual enrollment credits. Of all of the classes I’m taking this year, I’d say that AP Microeconomics is the most difficult, although I really like that class. We have fun review games that incorporate the material we are learning in them and a lot of the review games involve sports. Today we had a basketball review game and for the previous review unit we had a mini golf tournament. The pandemic really shut down senior year. Us seniors really missed out on the high school experiences all other generaions of high schoolers will get. Of those experiences, prom and senior ball would be the biggest. I am okay with missing out on those events if it means other people will be safe. I love running, skateboarding around with my friends, and playing the piano.”

“I plan on attending California Baptist University next year as a pre-nursing student. I also plan on coming out of college as a nurse. I plan on getting my CNA license this summer, so I could hopefully spend sometime in a hospital setting. A CNA license is a license to be a certified nursing assistant. You have to take a course to get it, usually at a community college. I really want my CNA license because I want to gain experience working in a hospital, and I know that I’d be able to learn so much there. I’m not getting it for the pay because CNA’s make minumum wage, I’ll mostly just be there for the experience. I have high hopes for college in the fall. I’m excited to be able to stay in a dorm and go to college classes. I’m optimistic about college and I am ready for a more ‘normal’ school experience.”
