State+of+the+Student



It seems that just a few days ago I started my freshman year at Foothill High School; however that is not the case. I'm already 1/8 done with my High School career. My instructors said it was going to go by fast, and it has. The reason I think it has gone by so fast is because I have had so much fun this year, with my friends and at school. However I don't just have fun at school generally, I have fun in some of my classes. Therefore I will tell you which ones.

For my first period class i have Mrs. Carr for EDA and she is very interesting. However that class is very easy and does not take much skill. All that you need to do is follow the steps she tells you and you get and A. But one that does take skill and effort is my 2nd period class. For my 2nd period I have Mr. Duston, biology, this class is very frustrating and difficult, and I think Mr. Duston can do a better job at teaching it. Next, I have Mr. Villa, Geometry, and Mr. Villa is one of the funniest teachers ever. He makes all my classmates laugh and he make the subject he teaches sound interesting. After him, I have Mr. Geib for English, and that class is alright, it is nothing to fancy or special, but I like it because I read books that I wouldn't think about reading and after I’m done with them I like the books. Later in the day for 5th period I have Mrs. Ferris for Geography/Health. That class is not how I hoped it was going to be. I thought that class was going to be very easy, for example if you just showed up you would get in A. However that is not the case, I am barely maintaining a C and I am not proud of that at all. My last class of the day is Spanish with Mr. Perfect. However it is not your typical Spanish 1 for freshman, I am in Spanish 3. But that’s because I was born into a Hispanic family, so I have an advantage. Therefore I have an A in that class. These are all my classes at foothill.

Therefore with all these classes comes a big project, and that’s what I got, they call it the 9th grade project. First of all I did not like it because it was a lot of work to get the research in and I barely passed with a C because I was not prepared for it. However I learned a lot from it. For example that there are very bad things going on in our planet and that no one is helping stop it.

Next I will talk about my friends. When I came to foothill I only came with a few friends and knowing a few people. However, those few people I knew are know my good friends, for example Luke Stowell, Tommy Grossman and Tyler Gray. However I have also made friends from other schools like Kaiden Clark. Now I will tell you about them.

Well one of the funniest people I know is Luke Stowell, he makes the most hilarious jokes and he is very witty with them. For example we are just sitting there talking and them bam Luke makes a joke and them we can't stop laughing. In my opinion I think he should do standup comedy.

Next is Tommy, he is the "overachiever" of my friends he is smart and athletic and he is pretty shy. Therefore he is serious and doesn’t talk as much. Enough about them now back to me.

I was not that interested in joining a sport during my High School Career. However my older cousin Aaron, a senior at Buena, asked me to join the wrestling team, and by asked me I mean forced me. However by the first brutal week of wrestling I had lost some pounds, so I stayed because I liked what I saw. Also by being their I made more friends and I made two friends that also come to Foothill, Anthony, and Christian. Therefore I have also gotten closer to my cousin and he introduces me as his brother, and people believe it because we look alike witch I think is very offensive.

Next, is my family. My family consists of 4 people including me, my mom and dad, and my younger sister who is attending Cabrillo middle school as a 7th grader. My family and I get along very well, even though we get in fights we work them out the same day and then go back to being a happy family. Also we could find humor in everything we do and say. Well this is how my year is going so far and I am enjoying every second of it and I can't wait till next year, and what waits for me in the rest of High School.
