My Future

In 10 years, I hope to have accomplished many things in my life. To start, I want to have graduated from U.S.C. (not sure what major yet) and I want to work at a well-paid job. After attending U.S.C., I think I would want to live in a nice apartment in New York. Although I love living in Fullerton, after taking a vacation to New York it opened my eyes to a brand new idea of adventure and i would love to spend most of my life living there. Also, I would love to share my apartment with a close friend until I find a husband to live with. Since my parents will most-likely still be spending their lives in Fullerton, I plan to visit them once or twice a year, as well as my brother wherever he will be. In addition, God will still be a large part of my life, and I plan to attend church weekly and continue to be a follower of Him. I hope to live a very simple life full of shopping, reading, and exploring the exciting state.

My Future

In the next ten years I hope to have accomplished many things. I will have graduated from New York Film Academy. I hope to be married to a wonderful man and with a baby on the way. I also hope to still be close to my twin sister; Fiona. I expect that I will be living in Los Angeles. Where I will be working hard making a name for myself in the film industry. I expect that I will have directed at least one known movie. I think I will still have my friends from elementary school. Thinking realistically, in ten years I will probably be pretty poor considering I will not have yet made it in Holly Wood. So there for, I will probably be living with my sister. In the next ten years, my goal is to be making a family and becoming will known in the Holly Wood Film Industry.   

my future

A decade from now, I plan to have graduated from Cal State Fullerton with flying colors and be accepted into medical school . My first selection for medical school would be University of Melbourne because it's the highest ranking faculty in Australia, and there's a high demand for doctors over in the land Down Under.  When I enlist for a job as a doctor-in-training at a prestigious hospital with decent wages, I'll send money home to my parents and pay for their next cruise around the world, to repay them for upbringing me. I'd also have expected to make them proud to, and be the third or fourth member of my generation to graduate. By now, I'd probably be an active volunteer in foreign-aid and have collected numerous hours of service to my community and country. I'd also be a member of a non-profit organization that helps starving kids and the environment overseas in third-world countries. Of course, I might consider marriage, but I probably would set that aside for more important things until I find a companion; I'll think about having children, but not now. Overall, I'd hope to have accomplished everything necessary to shape me into a successful, well-rounded individual ten years from 2013.

My Future

In 10 years, I see myself already graduated from college and helping people with their speech problems. I would like to graduate from USC or Vanguard with a masters degree. I do not want that to be my side job or anything, I want it to be full time helping the people out. With my family, I want to get married after I have graduated and can first live on my own. Meaning, I can support myself and have my own apartment or something around those lines first. Then I would like to marry a Christian man who has a lot of the same values as me. With a well paying job and a really delightful family. I would hope to have two to three kids. I would hope to say here in California because this is where my family is and where I grew up. If not, I would move to Texas or Florida. To me, having a really good home setting or good community is super important because I feel after a while that's who you become.

High school

I've been planning on attending El Dorado High School for about as long as I can remember, numero uno, it's one jump over my backyard wall to the campus parking lot, and two, it's a reputable and accomplished school and my sister is still currently learning there as a senior. Of course, new school equals new problems and new schedules, and that means I'll have to adjust to the different environment and somehow become used to it. Honestly, that's about the only major fear I have: becoming lost on the first day of ninth grade. The other few minor trepidations I have are mainly ones that apply to everything about education, such as failing to earn decent grades, acquiring a particularly aggravating professor, and forgetting assignments. As for the social part of El Dorado, well, two of my friends are leaving for Valencia, and I am not comfortable at all with missing two out of five of my fellow homies when the lunch bell rings. Not to mention, one of them is incredibly close to me, and I'll probably stay mute and contemplative with my remaining friends if she's not there to strike up conversation. Another annoyance about high school that irks me is the motherloads of homework yet to bombard me from all of those AP classes I've enlisted in, and I actually enjoy sleeping in. If they do flood me with papers and essays and all that jazz, it's all right, I'll just have to take a quick nap in one of my electives. Lastly, I seriously am pleading for God to help me be less awkward when I'm talking to all of those new and old students on campus; the last thing I need is to be judged and then labeled as weird. Even though I shouldn't be worried at all about that kind of matter, it's still an issue because I can hear people talk about things around me, and sometimes I'll accidentally catch a whiff of nasty backtalk about someone.

Aside from grades and having to deal with being a "freshy" or freshman, high school should be remotely interesting. There's more space to walk around and explore, as well as the lacrosse team, which should be a thrilling experience for sure, even though the athletics directors said only the Boys team can hit people with their sticks. There's definitely a much larger student body, which means I'll be able to expand my horizons and connections. I have to say, 9th grade should be remotely interesting.

High School

I will be attending El Dorado High School next year. It seems that the years are going by so fast, and I definitely have a few fears and worries as I enter as a freshman. First, high school is extremely different from middle school. Instead of going to school with students one or two years older than me, I will be walking on the same campus as 17 and 18 year-old students, which is very intimidating and frightening to be thinking about. Also, I hope to not fall into peer pressure as many students are, because I know that certain things can be very tempting to try. In addition, I know numerous amounts of high school students, taking the same classes that I will next year, that barely receive any sleep because of all the homework their teachers assign each night. Although there are plenty of things to worry about while entering high school, there are many great things in high school that make me look forward to next year. For example, I will be meeting tons of new people and I hope to make many more friends. Furthermore, there are dozens of after school activities, sports games, and outside events that are planned for the students, and I look forward to being very involved in the school. Lastly, I am excited to just go out of my comfort zone and try new things.

High School

Next year, I will be attending El Dorado High School. Since the middle of eighth grade, I have been pondering about what high school will be like. I am taking two honors classes, Language Arts and Spanish 2, along with Geometry and Biology. My biggest fears of going into high school are fitting in and getting outstanding grades. I really hope to make it into a big college someday, and high school is all where it starts. I got all A's and B's throughout elementary school and in seventh grade. Eighth grade as definitely been a challenge, but next year I hope to step up my game. I am very excited for meeting new people and playing sports. I hope to make the soccer and/or volleyball team. I have played soccer since I was about four and volleyball since last year. I have been encouraged to go out and try other sports to make more friends as well. Meeting new people is very exciting for me but scary at the same time. You never know whether or not they are going to except you. That is why I have been thought to stay true to myself no matter what. All in all, high school is going to be a rush but very interesting at the same time.

High School

I am expecting high school to be very different from anything i have ever experienced before. I think it will have a lot of different people with different backgrounds and stories. There will probably be a lot of people expecting and wanting others to fail but, there will also be people who are expecting and wanting everyone to succeed; such as teachers. I have many fears going into high school. First, I am afraid of not fitting and being alone for four long years. I am also afraid of not being with my twin sister every day at school because we have decided to part ways and go to separate schools. I am most looking forward to having boyfriends, getting great friends, and gaining great memories. I am most excited to join D.M.A.A. which is Digital Media Arts Academy. This academy has film, animation and photography. I have been accepted into the film portion and I will be honing and working on my skill of film making for the next four years of my life.

change

There have been so many changes in my life. Either for the best or for the worse. The biggest change I have ever gone through was moving. I grew up in this house, and it stored all of my families memories. I wasn't what you called "happy" about moving, but it was something that had to be done. We were so blessed to live in this dream house for almost 12 years. Unfortunately, money got tighter and what needed to be done had to be done. It was a two story house with a pool and right at the end of a cul-de-sac. Everyone knew everyone and it had such a positive vibe to it. To add, my best friend lived right around the corner, and this neighborhood was so safe. Moving away from it definitely caused some heartbreak and tears. I wouldn't exactly say it was for the better but it had to happen. We moved to a town home about 5 minutes away from the old house. Of course it was hard at first to adjust because we were so close to our neighbors. That meant being quiet, playing our music a notch lower, and things along those lines. Also, we had to walk down a bit to go to the pool, we couldn't just walk into the backyard. And my older brother and I aren't very close with our neighbors, so that's hard as well. Luckily, throughout this whole experience my mom has kept a positive attitude to keep us going. The saying, "Everything happens for a reason" and "Be content with what you have, do not envy," have definitely been our daily mottos. This whole experience overall has made me realize not everything will last forever, so cherish it while you can.

Change

Change is something that older people generally don't appreciate, something that a number of people dread and a select few look forward to, something that can be incredibly exhilarating to a certain individual but obnoxiously inconvenient for another. It's an experience that's different for everybody; for me, I suppose it was undoubtedly necessary for change to happen, but it definitely wasn't amusing or gratifying.

When I was in 2nd grade, I met a short boy who liked to tell jokes and mess around with people. I think I was his first audience to his comedy-stand up routine, because when I laughed at his antics, he labeled me as his buddy a few days and conversations later. At that time, neither of us had any other mates to keep us company, so this was really exciting and new to me. Over time, we added a few more members to our small band of handball-playing, soccer-kicking, clowns-that-always-get-in-trouble group. Somewhere around sixth grade near the end of school, I noticed that my friend seemed to be trying to place himself in the "popular" category and was hanging out with others that we, or in this case, I wouldn't normally linger around. He seemed to pay less and less attention to me too, so I decided that this probably wouldn't last or go anywhere, and ditched him to spend the rest of the few weeks reading in the library.

In seventh grade, I gave up on seeing him altogether, and gathered a new posse of minions-I mean friends, even though I still missed the guy. Sometimes I'd feel lonely and misunderstood because my new chums couldn't make me laugh as hard as he made me, and they didn't know me as well as he did either. That's okay with me though, it's only been about a year and a half, so they have plenty of time. Besides, he's not the same fun-loving, super-kind dude that I'd known before, he's a complete stranger to me now.  It used to make me furious when I thought about this, but I'm cool with it now. I'd have to say this was a change for the better, we'd argue with each other sometimes, and I'd still be ignored and the only girl in a group full of guys.
