The Beginning of a Journey

The school year has finally begun. I now know what it feels like to be a senior as the feeling of graduating is as tangible as ever. I decided not to go through my senior year as an easy year; instead, I decided to challenge myself and accomplish what my mind what set to do. The stresses of graduating and being a senior have came upon me as a bee stinging its victim, and I was that victim. Period by period, day by day, I know that I will be spending late nights doing work and studying so that I can achieve me goals. Reality has hit me as I now know that adulthood is right around the corner. I am not a young boy anymore; instead, I am a young man. While working outside of school at my job, I now have the responsibility of managing my time in order to work and in order to get my homework done and study for in class quizzes. Not only am I the one who is stressing about my classes, my friends are as well, in which hard work will pay off. In AP Biology I am learning about ecosystems and the interaction between organisms and the disturbance caused by our human society. A little easier than I thought but I know that this is just the beginning of birth pains. My next class, economics is going to help me learn how to make smart decisions as I get older. AP English Literature isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I actually enjoy the book that I am currently reading, Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. I never thought that I would enjoy reading but after I started to read this book, I actually grew quite fond of it and look forward to reading it when I go enter that class. AP World History is a rigorous course but I am having a great time in the class, enjoying what I learn. We are learning about the early humans such as homo sapiens and neanderthals and the civilizations that emerged as technology innovated. Trigonometry is as challenging as I thought it would be. I just need to practice and distill into my mind the principles of functions and domains. Guitar is a class that I am enjoying after taking two years off of. At the beginning of class, I glanced at my notes and was wondering how in the world am I going to ever be able to read this, due to the fact that I haven't played in over two years. Once I familiarized myself with the notes and what strings and frets they were to be played on, the playing came with ease.I find it easier than I thought it was going to be due to my years of "vacation" away from it. My last class, pyschology is an interesting class as your learn how the mind functions. I know I will be learning a lot from that class throughout the year and I am looking forward to it. I pray that this year goes by with less difficulty as I pictured it would be.
