Okay so school for me is coming up in about a week and a half. I am quite nervous but at the same time I very excited. I am going to be freshman in high school! I was originally put in all honors classes but because my parents and I thought that it would be too much I decided I was going to back out. So now I am just in all the regular classes but I still am smart. Like last year, I am also going to be on the school’s track team. I love track and I could run and run for an hour at a time. I want to become really good at it. I run quite well now but I want to keep improving. Right now I can run a mile in six minutes and thirty seconds. I made it to regional last year but this year I want to make it to states. I will do the best I can though and if that means that I won’t make it to the state’s meet then that’s fine. I will still be satisfied.

The main subject that I am worried about is math. I will be taking geometry this year and I don’t know about you guys but I am not that good at math. I like it but sometimes I am slow at figuring out things. I try not to be lazy but when it comes to story problems or critical thinking my brain power winds down like a weed died. LOL I am not that bad. Well I will dot the best I can like I have done in the past. My father helps me with the critical thinking and some of the hard concepts but otherwise I am on my own which does not bother me. It is just harder to learn.

I love all my teachers this year. I have a strict one for Ancient World History but I like strict teacher because you learn a lot more from them than the teachers that are easy going and let you off on homework all the time. I don’t know who is going to be teaching math to us but I hope she is strict also. I know many people think I am crazy for liking strict people but that is just who I am. Anyways, my science teacher that I was originally going to have decided to leave at the last minute so now my school is trying to hire someone quickly before the school year starts. LOL I wonder what person they are going to pick off the side of the street. My English teacher is the same person that was my track coach last year. I love him to death! He has a great heart and he makes us work hard. The teacher I had for last year was great also. I learned a lot form her; mainly on reading and comprehension and vocabulary. I also don’t know who my Spanish teacher will be but this year it will be a lot more difficult than it was last year. Throughout middle school the two years of Spanish and one year of French I took was mainly just and introductory class but now that I am in high school I am going to be introduced to it all! Eek! It is all the rules and exceptions that bother me but oh well. Life is life.

I will also be in the concert choir this year which will be new to me. I love singing even if it is in front of a large crowd.

I think I will enjoy this school year very much! It will be hard but fun will come along with it. Bye!
