My junior year is almost coming to an end. Since my first day of my junior year, I've been stressing over everything from school all the way to my personal problems back at home. Every day at school, I feel like I’m getting more behind and behind in my classes. Every day I feel like things are getting more difficult in life. So far in my junior year, I’ve been facing a lot of stress and overcoming many obstacles in school as well as problems back home. I’m just trying to keep things in order, staying on pace in all my classes and getting assignments turned in. Each day, I’m trying to straightened myself out and make myself a better person. On my spare time, I listen to music to calm things done and try to lower my stress and forget about everything that’s going on in life. When I feel a little down, I go out and hang out with my friends and have a good time. Both of these activities help me avoid my problems and remind me that everything’s going to be alright. My parents would always tell me that everything can be done with hard work and dedication. Sometimes I don’t want to believe them, but now I see that this is true because, look at me, I’m in my junior year in high school, on pace in all my classes, and living a good life with nothing to worry about so far. Everything can be done; you just have to have perseverance and faith in yourself. Nobody said it was it was going to be easy but we should all be able to take risks. So far, my first semester of junior year coming to an end and I've noticed that it is true that your junior is the hardest year of high school. I've been doing so much work and homework for all my classes. I’m even doing homework during weekends and throughout my week off on Thanksgiving, something I would've never thought I would ever do. I feel like I’m doing double the work I've ever done in my past school years. To be honest, I never thought junior year would give us so much work to do. I didn't believe it when my friends would say that the classes are hard, some of them even left LHS to go to JJ Cairns because it was too much work for them. But sometimes we have to push ourselves and take the extra mile. Like I said, we should be able to take risks and be determined. I don’t know even know how I did it but I’m actually passing all my seven classes and keeping up with my teachers in class. So far, I actually feel like I can accomplish something and finish my junior year. Even though I still face a lot of stress and difficulty back home, I’m still willing to keep moving forward and I’m determined to finish everything my junior year.
